#betterment
Being in pain doesn’t
make you
a
better
man.
I’d think that you
of all people
would understand.
For the record,
for all the damage that you have
brought upon yourself.
While they testified the evil
you are made of,
you ran away and hid yourself in a room,
locked
up.
For the record,
for all of the venom you
took instead of help.
Lay the lonely
down
to
rest.
Of us all, they were amongst
the worst
and the best.
I just wish that
someone else had reached out,
and you would have
had the courage to take their
hand.
Don’t talk to me.
Don't tell me who you are.
I don’t think I can handle
any
more
scars.
It was never your fault
that they set such
a
high
bar.
I used to think that lonely men
could be saved.
I told it to myself;
it was a fact,
plain as day.
He couldn’t
be,
they couldn’t
be
saved.

in common with my enemy i anger
develop a viper taste for it and hanker for the pang
in comradery with origin family nestle
i dwell more distant but send notes and cares
in communion with the world
i am a lazy explorer
in compromise with my life-mate
we set easy rules and gethered lose an honest fight
in company with my child
i am inventive and playful
in command of myself i alter
not true..
correction;
under the command of nature
i am altered
cartooning into age

It’s not a lot that I can give, not a lot that I have,
It’s just a drop in the bucket toward my goal to be better.
But even so, I wish I could give more than I’ve given myself,
Everything I have and anything I’ve had
So it didn’t go to waste
Rotting in a corner, in a room, in a space
That I can never go to again,
Or rather don’t want to go to once more
But rather reminisce about
Something that isn’t the burden
And weight that’s taken place in my heart
When I can’t look at someone else and say
I’ve done them right for once.
Futile, as my efforts are
‘Cause until now there’s not a lot I can find
That would be worth the effort or time
Others have to wait for something
As big as beating cancer,
as small as a birthday,
And from someone like me
On a day like that, of all days.
But I can give myself
And I can be here,
Forever, however long that is,
If someone would like,
I can be

Like the clouds
Running to be with the sun
Little did it know
That the very thing he desire will be his demise
And on his journey to the West,
On the pursuit of the light
So little he know,
That he'll be enveloped by
The eerie darkness of the night
Again
It's hard to turn the page to a new page
When our fav character is not there

No matter how brightly the stars shine
They can never outshine the moon's silvery glow
Yet no matter how long the moon shine,
She'll never have her own light
Under the silent veil of the night
Echoed with the songs of the waves
So freely as they flow
Over this wilted love inside my grave
Drunk from my own wine
Aching for a tale that never intertwined

From the warm breath of bright light,
blue sky breaks through our dormancy.
Cool breeze still keeps on bare air,
whilst curved lines rise bound in time
to care for the meaning of life.
We're expected to expand or contract,
responding to vast constructs set upon us.
It's easy to forget measures of the present tense.
Stillness often corrects parallels to connect, as impulses bubble up to ****** inside the mind.
Characters unseen play amongst the set,
there are integrated games we gain but our existence is said to be simplistic.
Focus on your sense of self and betterment, less complicated within the riddles of preconditioning.
Here to give, win and begin again.

Heavy grief strikes and bears a Soul found stagnant, starving, and stiff. If imbued with form a reflection of rotted wood would fill your eyes to their edges. Search for meaning in the murk swallow an ocean of tears if you must. It’s simple to hallow yourself void of feeling although to be better than the days passed is nearly insurmountable, yet on the morning that you passed I swore myself to my own betterment. I will plant myself firm as you had many times. In honor of you I will live.

If you're working against a better future for all of us, I will, without hesitation, walk all over you to make the best out of a world on fire.

Let me say goodbye
Let me start anew
To leave the past behind
Make room for me to grow
Explore the things I like
In a place I never knew
Chase a wider sky
Swim a bluer sea
Brave the toughest climb
Beat the beast within
Now,
Now remember these words
The heart of the heart
Must stay like a child's
For no matter how far
How high nor how long
Hold the hand
Wherever you're from
Shadows are just tricks
Played by the mind
So thread the path
Holding a candlelight

now you know
i am not what you thought i'd be
what more did you expect?
i can now be all the forbidden colors
but still a child, a wanderer
nothing else
once you find the tunnel
you will find the way out
and once you start down this path
you will not stop running
it's not easy, being you
sometimes you have to lie
to find the truth
in the bubble of life
you're too afraid to pop
will you grow so large
until it can no longer hold you?
or will you let it suffocate you?
will you go on and rot?

Be —> Become —> Becoming —> Became
(is/was) (will be) (working to be) (is/was)
Even progress has a past that isn't permanent;
Challenge your character for constant change...

Why do you hate me
Only to hurt me
You’re incapable of painful feelings
You need to love me
You need to need me
Convince yourself that I’m the love you seek
You shouldn’t see me
You shouldn’t know me
Like the earth you quake as you’re shifting
You need to want me
You need to need me
Because
Your broken soul
Has become infested
Don’t force your way close to me
Just because you’re
Socially rejected
No?
Yeah.
You’ll never hear me
You’ll never steer me
You parasite
Without me, you’re nothing
But you’ll never forget me
And you’ll always regret me
For I’ve become a better you

Where does creativity come from?
Wherever I am allowed to flourish.
Seems as dependent on everything beyond my
own body -
With all my work, fears, and beliefs.
So whatever I am, allowing myself to flourish.
Mixing with everything else that is.

Heedless of the web hanging from every corner,
I ventured into your space.
Oblivious me
Again I dangle from your weave
You always find a way to wrap me
in your promises so tightly
Oblivious me
I believed your invite
to be something I trusted
R.I.P. to the fools
who came to visit you so blindly
I see you hang their carcass like a trophy
from that thirsty tongue so proudly
Constrained in your devotion
The lechery scene of their bodies
You leave them suspended from a straight-jacket cobweb
As you drink from their seductive flesh
R.I.P. to the pests of your future meals
I sigh in disappointment to your habit
As I escape disheartened by the damage
For the docile creature I had once seen
Has lost all dignity and rationality
Oblivious me
I can no longer present myself to your attendance
The truth is now bestowed upon thee
and I've accepted the let down to your betterment

does it bother that
most of ours efforts now go
to the entertainment of man
not the betterment of man
