I stare at my candle in despair
Wondering why he wouldn't be fair
Knowing you wouldn't be here,
delivers me to fear

I eat alone at a table for two
As the lonely bird flew
This tragedy may conquer me now,
But I have lots of cats who meow

A stranger passes by
Handing me a slice of pie
I thank him as the sun starts to dim,
She can feel her life wearing thin

I'm sober when I arrived so I took the slice
As I wonder, was my love for him just rolled by a dice ?
I took a but of the bitter pie,
I can feel my life getting dry
I fall onto the floor below,
And I realize my candle has been blown.

Speeding things up
because what's the point in slowing down?
Because what are the odds I'll end up with a beautiful little crown?
Or maybe be out of this small town?
The want to leave is there, but so is the want to stay.
Sometimes it leaves me breathless, not knowing what to say.
Eventually I will find my way.

Yes I am familiar with the Nothing
It's the emptiness I fill with words
Paint a picture in minds put time in lines care into every curve
I'm also familiar with the All..
How the greatest of expectations fall..when it is love we call
Hearts broken down like cars that stall-MOVE YOUR PATHETIC *** OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!-looking for it all..

Reality isn't set in stone
My emotions live in my bones
Life's mistakes I will own
In dimensions I have grown
Pain I feel soul precise
Obtain greatest treasures through sacrifice
Do you feel me in your life?
Deep I plunge like a knife
Hmm WELCOME!!! To the hurt..
Wear my scars like a shirt
Pick yourself up from the dirt
You know what fails now find what works
Some call it Mental Alchemy
Don't need a map it all comes back to me
Eyes wide open but fail to see
Paths and patterns to our destiny
Third eye sight whatever you call it
Feel Vibrations like an Alcoholic
Multiply the good expel the toxic
Restoring the natural power down the robotic
Whoa no I'm not the only one
Many psychics roam free under the sun
Next level create it just for fun
Elevate Humanity..Human race will run
Mind's triggered thoughts explode like a bomb
Plant seeds of hope bloom long after I'm gone
Our Chapter's are short but story is long
Welcome to the Hurt from it we grow STRONG!!!

I'm a Pattern Breaker
Pass the soul shaker
Rather be a maker
Then meet the undertaker
Study if you want to
Patterns we all go through
Taught false is true
Truth is in what we do
We all have answers
Still we get cancers
Create ribbons and banners
Get upset lose our manners
Soldiers take tours die in religious wars
Truth main battle fought behind closed doors
Toxic hatred spreading mental spores
Pollution melting ice raising ocean shores
Continue the pattern to **** is to win
Method is this madness our greatest sin
Each loss there's a cost animosity begins
An explosion of souls losing their skin
Governments construction to help us function
Built in corruption seeds of self destruction
Laws punish choices creating junctions
Living Hells..Prison cells youth feel the suction
Hmm now what's a Pattern breaker?
Funky new thought creator
Already know the later
Break the pattern of the hater..♏

If your the sun,
I'm the moon.

I don't shine
without you.

Reflecting light
is what I do.

As light is something
I can't produce.

Does it ever unnerve you to think, at night, at home
That despite the innumerable odds for life elsewhere
We are, or to the extent of our knowledge, all alone?
This I find, is nearly too much at times to bear

Does it ever unnerve you to think, at night, in bed
That despite the billions of people on this earth
You rarely meet new people, because of all you left unsaid?
Due to some misplaced, and wrong sense of self worth?

Does it ever unnerve you to think, at dusk, at home
That despite both the innumerable odds for life elsewhere
And the billions of people on this earth, we still feel alone?

Waiting in the train station and to my surprise
The train conductor's smoking, doesn't care at all
He walks right over and asks,
"What're you waiting for? Get on"

I'm sorry I'm not riding the train today
I am waiting for me sister, she's on the next train
I haven't seen her for the longest time
And I heard she bought a cat

His eyes grew large like an atom bomb
My words caused him a panic, I don’t know why
Sausage fingers now points in my direction
And this is what he said,

"Right you little rat, I got a bone to pick
Now you getting on that train because I told you too
And if you don't I will break your nose
Then I'll steal all your cash"

His meaty aroma flooded my nasal duct
Just to make him leave I walked into the train
The whistle blew, the wheels spun on
Now it's my sister's turn
