I played the game, alone.
I talk to the air,
Imagining a friend who isn’t there.
My brain’s dual thinking.

- Checkmate -

Personification in strike
Persona’s colliding stake

- Stalemate -

Hello there my stuffed friend
Looks like we are a matched.
We’re Latched,
Encased in the four corners of our walls.
You know I feel restless looking at your frozen face.
Playing with stillness is a hollowed void.
Engross with my ever changing fantasy.
Choosing to ignore reality.
A sad case of my mortality.

- Workmate -

Music patched the necessary unattached realm.
Stories powered the desires to dream the unchallenged dream.
Life is a walking daydream.

- Lostmate -

There are those would think I am coward
And then I box myself not to move forward.
I fear what lurks behind someone’s soul,
Fearing I am not worthy of my own coal.
A charade of personas, hiding.
Tilting the crowd as if I am never there, post acting.

- Soulmate -

Believing you are near,
somewhere far behind that unseen chamber door.

- Castmate -

Sometimes I am just tired of this game.
Whispers of the wind, believing I am tamed.
Sometimes all I need is a real friend
That will hug-out the negative trend
For me to transcend
To the realistic perspective
Waking the sleeping life’s motive.

Sometimes I want to **** the thoughts running through my head
But then I think of you instead
And I realize
As I look into your eyes
I see a beautiful sunrise
Because you got that little spark in your eye
That I would die
Die for
But you deserve more*

You deserve something better
someone better

"If you don't have something nice to say
then don't say it."

People would do well to remember this whilst looking in the mirror.

You don't have to do this,
curl your hair, coat your lips
flash those bright green eyes,
turn to the side,
**** in,
smile,
hide.

You don't have to do this,
say yes when you really mean no,
entertain when you feel sick,
work out to find your worth,
eat to find love,
purge,
unearth.

But you must keep going,
be strong, be brave, be you,
walk in light, in love, in grace,
say I love you and mean it,
speak truth and receive it,
with open arms,
savouring every bit.

You were made for more than this.
