A rupture in silence, stolen peace
Uninviting brightness signalling my release
Unshackled, torn from where I lay
Involuntary I enter the fray

I present thou my mere body and soul
Unbeknownst this presence shall take its toll
Overwhelmingly consumed, sworn to cherish
Inevitably destined to once again perish

Carve the canvas, paint the way
Defiant to thy bidding, led astray
Cast adrift where echoes wane
Cursed to orbit fear and pain

Wounded and struggling to retrace
Attempts to rekindle, efforts to replace
Futility lies beneath the dark glare of despair
One shall not walk this dreadful path, I swear

The forsaken now seek to guide
Where many had fallen and tried
The adept stand as stronghold where one should falter
A last and valiant attempt for fate to alter

Inexorable strife lurking from the uncharted rift
Once more, my soul I lay as gift
In brittle armor I stand before thee, ghost
And plead to take me off this tarnished coast

Sink where time no longer weighs
Fade into the quiet haze
As the echoes draw a conclusion to the trail of shattered stone
In the moment of reckoning all will be reduced to dust and bone

Now the echoes draw their final breath
All is dust, yet what defines death?

I sit here,
Like a beetle on it's back
In a crack of it's own design
Crafted it's own demise
Frantically flailing
Panicking mainly
Legs going every witch way,
Becoming to heavy
To reach out for help
No voice to call out for help
Though it tries
Not knowing it's already dead
Hope is the first thing that dies
Moments from the cruel hand dealt
By life itself
Exposing itself
As deaths right hand man
Still we fall for the bluff
And the universe doesn't listen to
"Enough is enough"
If you don't like it
Tough

Like a concept she felt known but not heard,
Her desires were just a replica of her mother's,
Like wise her mother Will she mourn over them too?
the demise of her desire,
The deceased desire to live,
To create,
To be known and heard,
And to be aware,
To be completely infatuated with something more than an idea,
To be infatuated with reality,
Hitherto,
she had learned 4 walls is all there is to this life.

You keep telling us LIES, and
keep FEEDING US FIBS,
you are CONCEALING
HIDDEN SECRETS,
to what you REALLY DID,

You keep TELLING LIES,
from ANOTHER to ANOTHER,
To back up THOSE LIES,
to use another LIE to COVER!!!

You keep SPREADING LIES,
We keep HEARING RUMORS,
But, your LIES will
COME TO SURFACE,
not LATER, but SOONER!!

Now, TELL US THE TRUTH,
You think that we are FOOLISH,
But, We Really are not,
So, come clean with
WHAT YOU DID!!!

Now, TELL US THE TRUTH,
You Keep trying to DECEIVE,
Your LIES sound so DOUBTFUL,
THAT THEY ARE HARD TO BELIEVE!!!

You think you got AWAY,
or that you are GETTING BY,
You BETTER CONFESS and
QUIT TELLING THESE LIES!!!

It's REALLY AMAZING,
The question is WHY???
You LIE SO GOOD,
you BELIEVE YOUR OWN LIES!!!

It not a SUPRISE,
we come to REALIZE,
The TRUTH IS HIDDEN,
Within the LIARS DISGUISE!!!

IT'S seen in your DEMEANOR,
You can't help BUT TO LIE,
Like the BOY WHO CRIES WOLF,
The WOLF ATE HIM ALIVE!!!!

He kept pulling PRANKS,
like HE was GETTING BY,
But, no one BELIEVED HIM,
The LIES lead TO HIS DEMISE!!!!

I am human after all
Tempted each day
I am foolishly blinded by love
Sliver by sliver resolve fades away
I am immobilized by agony
Weight grows hard to bear
Tip over so I can be free
Off edge to fall somewhere
Toppling head over heels in a haze
Comparable to Jack and Jill
Chain snapping as moment occurs
Crashing at bottom of this hill
I am the statue everyone sees
Poised awaiting instruction
Off-track I tumbled through the trees
Cracked by calamitous destruction
Start healing wounds all over skin
Created from own poor decisions
Gravity not willing to let me advance
Rolling accumulated incisions
Back and forth I wander
Earth tilts beneath my feet
Dizzily confused I can't figure out how
To steady myself preventing defeat
It's impossible getting where goals are
Wobbly with each step I take
Top of the mountain seems so far
Luckily legs do not ache
It seems this journey will not ever end
The wind
Ocean
Temperature
Ground
Rattling bones that comprise my skeleton
Rampant running around
It's not fair punishment by any means
Served my time in this location
Already processed surrounding scenes
Fists balled due to brain's frustration
Downward I cast exhausted eyes
Driven by instinct to carry on
I am accepting of demise
All hope is gone

Walk around palms up like "what the fuuck?"
Low-quality literature John Travolta, dumbstruck
Lingering havoc of being awestruck by dumb luck
Stuck in the rut felt in the pit of a stomach
Nut up or shut up mukbang, self demise potluck
Lame-duck after lame-duck left to run amuck
Anyone else know what the fuuck?

Silent night fills the gallow,
Abyss lurking within the shadow,
Chilling breath decorate the air,
Eyes everywhere,
Blood rush pumping heart,
Adrenaline kicked in,
Anxiety and panic swarming my veins,
They called fear...

Remember remember remember,

Not all lights save lives,
Maybe, waiting for demise,
Nightmare carve a scar in me,
Branded curse haunt for every dream,
Sign of counted breath,

Remember remember remember.

Run and hide,
Leaving trail of prey,
That is my mistake,
Not to be repeat,
But the devil must know,
I'm always here,
And now I'm ready to face fear,
May the hunter become haunted.
