Steven Forrester Oct 2013
Sensation
Devastation
My body burns
Like radiation
Inflation
Damnation
My soul is lost
In this conflagration
No patience
In my station
And what did you do
You roped me
And broke me
Smoked me
And rolled me
There's no sense
In my defense
What's new is more
But what's more is less
There's no innocence
Any more
It's stranger than fiction
In a dark encryption
Steven Forrester Oct 2013
Morning ice
Upon my soul
You've returned
But you're so cold
My world is spinning
Insides decayed
Rotten to my core
I reach for your hand
But it's not there anymore
Will we ever be the same?
Inside my mind
I hear the raven whisper
Nevermore
Steven Forrester Jul 2013
Destroy
Your deception
Employ
A new direction
Avoid
Insurrection
Life
Is the lifeless love of laughter
Looming in lethargy
And lethality
Rises
Despises
My emptiness
Is no more
As I soar
through the open sky
I roar
with a question of why
Why did my despair
debilitate me so long
I'm now considered strong
Caught in this throng
Of life
Avoid
Insurrection
Employ
This new direction
And destroy
Your deception
Steven Forrester Jun 2013
What is real?
Life?
Love?
My existence
Your resistance
Sound and resonance
Pain and arrogance
Humanity
Or vanity
Gluttony
Under scrutiny
I feel it's time for mutiny
We've been fed lies
Though we have open eyes
No one is watching
We're just waiting
While hating
And baiting
The hook
But it's out there
Not sure where
Don't quite care
But I can't just sit an stare
If you seek truth
Just look
Steven Forrester Jun 2013
What is worse?
A physical cut
Or an emotional jab
A corporeal hit
Or a mental stab
Upon my skin
My scars do fade
But in my soul they do remain
The memories are clear as day
As you disappear in to the night
I feel my heart's rhythm subside
Do you see
You're tormenting me
I explode into the dark
Searching for your spark
And your gone
But you soon reappear
Casting doubt upon my fear
Weilding your astral dagger
Another slice and I stagger
Yet I am addicted in my swagger
A night like tonight
Takes my will to fight
Anymore
But alas
That's true love
Steven Forrester May 2013
There's a rumbling
In my mumbling
Stumbling
Into nothing
And something
Comes true
Whether a dream
Or a wish
It's up to you
So what to do
Be the tool
Or act the fool
Pull up a stool
And drink
And think
But mostly sink
Into everything
You thought my words were gone
I was only resting
And wrestling
My mind
Simply trying to find
Balance

I'm disappointed
And taken aback
I'm almost furious
As our second right
Falls under attack
This amendment
Is the foundation
In which our nation
Was created
I've tasted the bittersweet sorrow
Of this situation
A vulnerable position
Falls upon us now
I'll tell you how
To make the violence bow
Arm the public
This is crystal clear
Intended fear
Believe it or not
A mass shooting can't happen
If the shooter fears getting shot
