Inside of me you started a fire
That was done by your lovely lighter

One that was soon to die out
For my thoughts were thought to be too loud

Its easy to bring silence on the mind
When you been shot up in the spine too many times

Not with a gun but a medicine needle
Proving the fact that we were never equal

Maybe you should string my corset a little tighter
After all I never been much of a fighter

Don't think of me as weak
I express my self in the form of pen and ink

I'm starting to break free of this prison
In a form that doesn't require the color of crimson

And if I don't succeed ill give you the key
To write my name in the diary of defeat

It might take endless amounts of attempts
But I can't live much longer with this noose around my neck

Like telling a smoker to give up cigarettes
You might as well quit and forget

Ill disappear without a notice
That will be my one and only promise

And while your standing there alone
You'll then identifi what I failed to shown
Death-throws Mar 2015
steel is what controls me,
steel emotions wrapped in spikes,
steel skin holding you back
steel eye hiding my vision
but  I'm growing tired of steel
I'm angry at its coldness, the grey flesh and cold heart
the agony of never being warm,
my friends are the same,
we draw our time from the fix,
lets melt ourselves down

I'm braking free
me and my barbed wire birds

I'm done sitting on the fence of angst but not being sure
if I can climb over
I'm done being a nothing following the crowd between rows
of steel and barbed wire
I'm done dancing between laser beams
and nightmare filled dreams
I'm taking my heart in my hands and running ,
Ill treat it like water slipping through my fingers and the only way to survive is by running faster.
so much faster.
Ill not let my heart slip through my fingers as my wings begin to spread me and my pack
of barbed wire birds,
our wings are made of corrugated iron folded to points
and the motion of flying stings my soul
but ill fly
you'll watch me glide
we will dive of the edge our hearts in hands
god
you'll see me fly, broken bleats from broken wings
bound together with the lust for more then to feel steel against my skin
because I'm flying northbound for warmer skies
lets glide past the the equator and through the tropics
I want to feel the heat that would melt a man

we are the hearts
we are the gods
the deity's of my minds
ill build shrines to myself just to scream
WE ARE THE HEARTS
my soul beats free as my barbed wire wings
no longer am i wrapped  in steel
Ill take you with me, swap your heart for mine
scream like banshees
a technicolor passion drives me forwards
we will lay down ourselves to show you
as you sit waltzing through your strip wire fences
Ill turn them to wings ill float so high above you..
Ill scream at the 5 am light and bring up the sun
the world is yours
I am no longer a sheep
guided by lack of sleep
we are a pack
guided by our hearts
by our love
powered by our bleeding
battered
damaged
broken
barbed wire wings

massive rant...appreciate it if you told me what you thought :)

A voiceless cry
shivers, trembles,
struggles and falters.
A result-less try.

Break free and escape
from this corrupt world.
This life is yours
and yours to shape.

Spread your wings
and take the flight.
Be free and see
what joy it brings.

Rewrite you fate,
oh voiceless cry!
This life is yours
and yours to create.

Spin your way
out the web of lies.
Escape the void
to a new day.

The world is yours,
oh voiceless cry!
It is up to you
to open the doors.

Don't look so wry,
oh voiceless one!
Get up again,
and again, you try.

She wanted to be the girl to make something
Beautiful
Out of that snarled blackness that she had always existed in
To make a light to guide
Into a future of freedom, normal
She hoped they might open their eyes, see the light,
Follow
But there they stayed in their comfort of nothingness, a hopeless future and those after to live in the same
That was okay
That girl will still shine
It's all psychological,
the system is the sum of all the illogical
factors that make the parts
of the people that have lost their hearts

in the process.
Nauseous nonsense.
Not cautious!
Weak to the will of the head of the snake,
it's predominant.
The word of the serpent has become prominent.

LOST

to the fight of a god made real.
The words don't deserve to see our knees kneel.

It's ridiculous.

This is society in general.
All it is, is just mental peril.
In this place we call home,
we never lived free,
we reside under the dome.

Come one its time to go
Time to leave all behind

You did your best…
As sincerely as you could
Worry not, cause no one cares
No one’s seen the scar, the wound
Gaping hole in your heart so big
The emptiness that has returned to hound

Bother not, for no one loves
Its in your mind..
People like you don’t deserve
that second chance that life can give

Move on, its over
Tell yourself, Wake yourself
Cause its past time, you moved on
and left the dust behind
Let it settle and you will see
Only memories of a dimmed out mind

Bury yourself, cause there are places to hide
Wear a mask, as you always did
Of a cheerful exterior and go back to what you did
Where you found your inner strength

Focus, cause its no use
Its not coming back and you have far to go
Life’s not over, till it happily slides past the shore
Where you’ll come to rest
your burdens galore

Can you tell anyone what you feel?
Can you tell anyone who you are?
Can you explain, why it is you?
Can you think of a way to get out?

Then, I say, again get up!
cause its no use, being stuck in the past
Being stuck with this state
You can’t battle it out
So make the most of it
Channel, your love to the ones who need
There are so many aching for a kind word you see
Where your words will not rebound on empty hearts
Where your words will sink in hungry souls
Waiting for a smile a hug and unconditional love

Come on, let’s go
See they are beckoning
A world yet undiscovered
Don’t stay back, stuck in the throes of pain
When you can find, new hope, new light again
Where the sun shines bright
Where the darkness will fade and bring glorious light
Where you can beam and meet a thousand smiles
You only need to find that fight
make it worthwhile till it lasts
So get up move your body
Get up before its late
Don’t give up before this fate
Cause I want to live
and you can’t take
That right I have
For I am a part of you
A force greater than you
Yet you’ve weighed me down
So I say, I want to live I want to survive
Throw me not away for a love that could not survive…..
The struggle of the spirit over the flesh….This is my spirit beckoning my body to forget the pain and move on..2 different identities of me  clashing! One with hope and one without

We are our own darkness and we can be our own light.
We are our own prison and we can be our own freedom.
We are our own suffering and can be our own happiness.

It's all in the mind,
A fragile line between being bound and choosing to let go!

What's holds you down is not people or rules
What's holds you down is your own fetters
When you choose to stay and not break away

Who makes the rules that makes you stay
Who binds you in discipline in the name of the law
Who enforces them and pretends not to care
Those who make these rules themselves will not obey?

So I say to you, the only rule you need to follow
Is the one engraved on your heart
That is only one rule and that you must obey
For the Son of Man sealed it and its still stands true
Love one and another as I have you.
Break free from those thoughts that bind you in insanity and depression.  Jesus is the light!

Caress my coldhearted expectations
forget who made them that way.
To use more than I ever possess
for you, and only for you.

Darling, i've figured out
how to make use of whats broken.
If you want I can show you how..
break free from this empty house.

You're too familiar with being left behind
you're numb so you don't seem to mind.
A secret between you and I, my love
for you, and only for you:

I've seen who you really are,
you're broken but not too far.
In life all you really need
is who needs you back;
thats me.

Darling, i've figured out
how to make use of whats broken.
If you want I can show you how..
break free from this empty house.

— The End —
