#innerthought - Hello Poetry

As I look up to the kindly skies and stars, I wonder why we were born with fire in our souls — A fire of anger, a fire of desperation. And it seems to burn through every part of our lives. But then, I remembered how love calmed that blaze. It kissed the flames that raged inside, And hope came — like a sea breeze, like waves — soothing the scorched corners of my soul. And suddenly, it all made sense: That fire, that love, That pain and peace — They are what make us human. They are what make us feel. What make us alive.

Benji...this is your conscience speaking... "You'll never be good enough for her, Who are you kidding? You aren't attractive enough, To obtain her love. What are you thinking boy...? Why are you trying to destroy everything left inside yourself. Do you want to be addicted to this drug? Better stop praying to the sky above... Get back up Benji, move a little faster or this storm is going to catch up with ya. I know you don't give a f**k, But you better start Or you'll end up back in that slump and this time...I'm not sure you'll get back up And pull yourself back out of that dump." Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart Just can't seem to get a grip People all around me Are gritting their teeth Waiting for my next slip Trying to anticipate my next trip That just ain't cool... Why don't you worry about yourself? I don't need your help. I've dealt with everything else on my own People catch me in public speaking to myself I'm just talking to the inner me trying to work out my inner being Haven't you ever been confused? Feeling self-accused, hurt and bruised. Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart "Benji look at you now... You crashed yourself into the ground You tried to rebound Back from the darkness of life You just drowned in the blackness inside You are losing parts of yourself Every time you're inflicted with pain Your soul melts You die a little more inside You're trying to ride this tide But you keep running out of time So you better decide If you're willing to climb This jagged cliff edge One last time." Resurrect everything inside of my soul Reignite that light, that once shined Bring me back So I can fight, let me find That parts of me that I lost in the dark Give me the spark to restore life to my heart ©2018 Written By Benji James

I worry. With every fiber in my body, Each and every melody... In my soul. Or the lack there of. But yet the tunes resonate, Engulfing my very being. Singing for an escape, Chanting for freedom, Tapping into every neuron. I worry, There will never be a happy ever after.

Happy Ever After

I worry. With every fiber in my body, Each and every melody... In my soul. Or the lack there of. But yet the tunes resonate, Engulfing my very being. Singing for an escape, Chanting for freedom, Tapping into every neuron. I worry, There will never be a happy ever after.
