The key circles round to the lock
A lock which is known needs no key
A door that only faces inward  
On the outside has nothing to see

To open the way is to find yourself
Staring at the firmly locked door
To find the key is to notice
You've not needed a key here before

The way to ascend is much lower
Not up or through but behind  
So that door and its lock will remain
Until we let them leave our mind

suicide,
not very scary, right?
s.u.i.c.i.d.e.
just a bunch of letters,
why are you scared of spitting them out?
are you cared itt will jinx you?
dont worry,
i am as jinxed as the terrifying word,
i will **** the life out of you,
leave you helpless, waiting for your time,
it feels like its never coming,
and you feel a deep longing to me,
sso you decide to step closer,
youre on the edge now,
you look down,
you see me at your feet,
you smile,
with tears falling towards me,
i smile back,
telling you to jump in my welcoming arms,
you listen,
then i turn my arms into claws,
my smile into sharp teeth,
i swallow you with ur terror,
and i deliver you my jinx,
hell.

I dare not to unveil the sins to the world that are buried deep within me.
Standing beneath the falling leaves, I often ask myself: Who, in truth, am I?
On certain days, I discover strange solace within my intricate illusions,
Where I wield the spectre’s blade, tormenting those who’ve wounded my soul.
An eerie smile dances upon my visage as I behold their blood upon my hands.
Fear constricts my very bones as the darkness within me stretches far and wide,
Whilst I am still oblivious to the hour and place where it will finally end.
Sanity bade me its final goodbye when I bled and was abandoned to a merciless death.
My world is now confined to black and white, for all the colours have washed out of my eyes.
To the heavens, I beseech for freedom’s grace,
Yet, how can I trade my soul for such release, when its essence holds no worth?
There was a time when I stood as a valiant warrior, bold and proud.
But now, I fear, I have taken on the character of a villain within my own tale.
My innocence is now shrouded in the murky attire of vengeance and jealousy.
The colour of my heart has darkened and is now a shade of midnight,
I can witness monstrous entities breaching the gates of my world,
So with their sinister alliance, I am sculpting my world into my own private hell.

I float endlessly

Through endless oceans
Of absolution

When the time is right
I will materialize

Until then
I float
What is a soul really?

Tik tok tik tok
In hell i sit staring at a clock
Chained to the floor by 2 ton rocks

In this hell i am in there is a clock
An ordinary grandfather clock
In this realm of darkness the only thing i hear is it tiks and toks
My retribution for my sins
Thousands of years will pass
The world will end
And i will still be here
tik
tok
Tik
Tok
Death was to kind a punishment
I sit here in complete darkness accompanied by only this clock
I cannot even hear my own screams
I plead
Plead
Plead
But no one will ever hear me
Satan himself grew tired of tormenting me throughout the years
I sit here unable to rot
Unable to die
Please someone
SOMEONE
SOMEONE PLEASE
I WANT TO DIE
ALLOW ME TO DIE
THE CLOCK
THE CLOCK
TIK TOK
TIK TOK
THE SOUNDS
THE SOUNDS
THE SOUNDS
I CANT TAKE IT
HELL, THIS IS HELL
MY TORTURED SOUL
TRAPPED IN THIS QUIET COLD HELL
DEATH
DEATH
I STARVE FOR IT LIKE A CHILD ADDICTED TO SUGAR
I CANT DIE
IVE TRIED
I DONT NEED TO BREATHE
I DONT NEED TO EAT
SLEEP
BLINK
THE CLOCK
THE CLOCK IS THE ONLY THING
THE ONLY
REPENTANCE?
WHAT IS SUCH A WORD
A DEMON SUCH AS MYSELF HAS NO HOPE OF FREEDOM
I AM ETERNALLY ******

Making minimum effort, indeed,
mostly getting here, mostly lucky.

In earnest efforting
to bring forth good fruit,

I met a preacher, efforting,
better than I, most certain was he,
that his doctrinal fundamentals were

solid, while mine, at the time, were
reverting to ancient ideas concerning
critical details in fine print spoken pro-
missary permissions to go, make a way,

called to halt. Become rock solid, under
me, my base
to resolve
to become,
after all memories and dust,
ashes of us, once upon times inner surface,
as far out of sight as one could then imagine,
having not yet peered into Hubble's Deep Field,

having not even imagined the mechanics
needed to assure investors the time's well spent,

we imagine things in terms of type, characters,
and we, adult, adulterations of imaginary friends,

the poets whose muses we have use of, if we do,
but not if we don't amuse our selves with in-
credulous nonsense, to call free time,
offerings in worship of a thought,

easy does it.
Wu wei,

way too easy. If this were the end of that/

run away thinking, to me, the old man,
as we know we had a royally comfortable ride,

practically to forever, in my west with an inner edge,
Arizona was gonna be in my back yard, I admit,
that's what I prayed, and accepted as okeh,
on Earth as in Heaven,
where I sit today, Arizona is just across one
big basin before the trickle of the Colorado.

Its the middle of the night,
I have this pit in my stomach.
Its a sinking feeling,
I cant stop it.
I need help,
I cant ask for it.
Feels like hell,
I cant get out of it.
Im sinking,
Deeper and deeper,
To the depths of despair.
Channel the grace
Feel the pace
I stood in their place
I thought I recognized the space.

Shiny isn't always gold
Or so I've been told
And death truly is bold
Grabbed my soul and turned it cold.

Got sold sins painted as dreams
Had to have it by any means
I let him have my soul
Only one of us is getting old.

My voice as a weapon
Loaded guns with demons I couldn't let on
And I'll show you hell and fire
It's now, not just a desire.
Karma Oct 7
The heat is strong,
It won’t be long,
Till the storm comes rolling in.
The clouds will cry
In drizzled sighs
Reflecting mirrored sin.
Down in Hell City
Where Hell hath sent me
And help’s consuming time
When twilight beams
In the morning star
So high up it’s near divine.

Sky burnt titanium blue polished by a kaleidoscopic glass framed in a binocular’s case
viewed through an eye with limited life. The universe cursed by Gods creation with these fumes. Pollution would be true if it wasn’t for the vibrations we sent through. Hail Marys couldn’t answer to Our Fathers. The crossroad seems like it’s the only way I can talk through to you. Gamble the sold soul for the heart was always just a mold. Forever is always in debt to the fractions of misunderstandings. Quantum analysis shows love and hatred in the atoms of mine. Praying just to get rid of all these sins off my mind. Living a new day by discovering the lessons of the following. Odd leaders with millions of likes. Even these kings queens and jacks of all trades had to follow suit but then go on to have their bridges be cut. Burning down the structures has been constantly happening in my dreams. The laws of humanity. The rulers of the nations. The money of our freedom. Longevity is the world of tomorrow. Aye I guess everything will be alright. Sky burnt titanium blue and a life painted by you. As the exhibit is a one way ticket, I hope the everlasting impression brings you fulfillment. I’ve lost the world for a conversation I couldn’t afford. Bought a souvenir and stole a life. I’m trying to find out if tomorrow’s daylight really exists. The bricks of the household thrashed off road. Falling from the heart has found new undiscovered broken ground. Sky burnt titanium blue and the truth I’m looking for is the experience of a forgotten soul. I walk on and see today is the day that it all looks just okay.
The sky is my soul mocking me for giving up the world.
It taunts me every time I see it glow. What I’ve missed, what I’ve lost, what I’ve taken, what I’ve yet to see , what I’ve sold in the crossroads, and what I’ll never achieve. As I stay on Earth I hope to discover more. And when I move on I hope I’m forgiven for.
