My mind
Whispers through the nighttime
Voices always keeping me up
Telling me I need to give up...
Cause lately
I’ve been in the backseat...to my own life
Trying to steer - and take control...but I don’t always know how to.
Is that alright?
For sadness is in our cup
And we tend to sip it slowly
What’s life worth...if everyone’s around but you feel so lonely?
No tears for the sorrow,
when we aren’t promised tomorrow
So why self indulge on our pity?
Attempting to heal our wild minds in this painful, structured city.
Searching for riches - to numb those who are morally poor
Standing up for those who are/were down, including myself...because I’ve been there and quiet frankly... I don’t wanna be sad, I don’t wanna be sad, I don’t wanna be sad anymore.

When is a fleeting stray thought
a senseless fool's distraction?
And when is my sudden idea
a true sage-like inspiration?
No weight of long experience
No number of tried and tested
No diet of **** it and sees
seem to give me true wisdom.
Inspiration seems a bit of a lottery.

No matter
If there is
There will

Expect nothing
That may have
Waited long
For the sun to rise
To cast light
In your life

Just breathe
Don't worry
All the best
Genre: Inspirational
Theme: What else is love, besides fuel for the life.

Within the realm of unplayed instrumentation
a crescendo of specific notes are lost
dangling on high maple branches during autumn leaf change
and only divots below the mowed through grassy soil
throughout segregated quarantine reserves
partitions of divorced land
In the bottom of a child’s backpack

so heart jarring and singularly dedicated to the wandering dreamer harboring any thoughts of doubt about what is and what might inhibit the coming up next

covering over wooden plank necks with strings of primitive notation drafted inside the woods create,
rows of ivory keys and ebony flats,  
this includes either screeching or murmuring brass buttons can make
And depending on the blow

Lead based letters
Squeezed together grammar and prose
have no window to grandstand
in a duel verses this one climb of instrumental verse
these missing tones are in tangible reaches
could even be in a soft mother’s dream waiting to be awoken to bring an awakening

Who will seek and find this group of lost tones with striking nuances so spirit soothing
that seeing the mere future is old news
but instilling, feeling, and describing the true meaning of life after hearing what is under, inside and above this crest of colored resonance of tonal pitch...

Or maybe it can insight a minor confidence in the one who lacks it to take that small step forward
Ensuring another step

This is one who will hear this

So sorely do we wish to find
A person who’s just like our kind
Someone who’s just as weird as us
That we can know and love and trust

A person that just lets us be
And even when we disagree
They know that we’re still meant for them
They do not argue and condemn

Because when love is tried and true
It is not only about you
It is a union that you share
A contract, where you’re both aware

That life is meant for everyone
And when our time is gone and done
You’ll find that what we all should do
Is live it not with one, but two

i can not be the only one
who has those nights
where you feel
a power deep within
as if you could pull the
oceans into the earth
make the sun set
and the moon rise
turn the masses
to turn to you
those nights
where you feel
as though
you could save the world
where you feel
as though as you could
save yourself

I can't seem to comprehend
Or grasp what I feel when I see your face
But emotions burn up real quick
It feels red, blue and pink as notions
of explicit dreams stream through
For Every time you smile
Am just obliged to mumble
Words that don't convey intended message
While the mind warps through
Future Utopian bliss
Artificial constructs from imagination land
Based on scripts from subconscious
I can't alter or rewrite to favor me

If you could travel the universe on my mind
Through the sky constellations
Of my overflowing thoughts
Light by the fondness of your good heart
We could watch my wildest dreams
That starred you to infinity
In a dream you wouldn't have to wake
Visit the great wall of words
illuminated by the flashing lights of orion
There every script Lies a hidden message for you
Scripted at heart by forces I can't tame

Hard beating heart,
Overflowing emotions
wedged words
double edged sword
Bliss or doom
resilient to peek inside
The best jokes are just rigged truth,
I can deny but i knows the truth

If you can be cold,
I can be colder.
If you can be strong,
I can be stronger.
