Clarity returned, once a rarity Engulfed in asperity Lost in the shuffle Anything to distance, mind, and feelings Felt the call Turn of fortune Fell into HIS arms Couldn't live anymore in the distortion Had to move subtly Live boldly in HIS path On me too many count Leaving doubt in the wasteland Had to correct my posture So HIS sight in me HE could foster A better ME

Better Sober
You can speak venom on my name But it's no weight on me God has set my burdens free My evolution isn’t yours to own You can claim the scars you put on my heart Your forbidden fruit turned into poison Your poison seeped into me like water A hold on me I've never felt before Stuck when we were apart I couldn’t function without you I absorbed the dysfunction Gave excuses to cover the pain Your words cut me deeper than any weapon I started to wonder why you didn't see me Took every strike, and said it was love Just one look and I was your puppet A venom that froze my tears I had to shed who I was with you Turn my pain into antivenom True love shouldn’t be toxic Naive mistakes cost me I don't wanna live this way So I fled into the unknown To rediscover me

Venom
Harbored so much pain and hate Felt forgotten and alone Even in a crowded room Ready to fall at the hands of fate Knelt at the despair throne Trying to be strong in a world of gloom Life is darkening like an unfathomable sonic boom Healing me on my own But my soul is already in a tomb Silence beyond deafening Prepared my bones for the reckoning Flesh has turned cold, but blood is blazing Each deep breath is like shards of glass shredding my lungs Demons with every remark, scathing Taking in every word as I succumb Living in the Earth's core Liquified metal, my new water source A sudden gravitational force Before I knew it, a voice from above A childlike silhouette The light beaming from their eyes It's time to forgive Hands clasped together, head to the skies You are forgiven The challenge of life hasn't won yet My road for you was strong so early But my child, I had to build you I saw your struggle to keep your spark from fading But you fought to keep your smile through it all Even in solitude, you pushed through You lost faith in me at age 7 Even if you didn't understand why At your lowest, I knew your heart Deep down, it never lost me It just locked me away, until you forgave yourself A heartbreak was your reset button I found you again in the depths of me

The Depths Of Me
Where have you wandered off to It's been a long storm But now we can reunite Here's your cue to get warm I'm booking that flight I smell the sweet desserts The golden air of your history First step on your ground, healed my soul With my skin, your waters flirt My heart is not dwelling on misery The sun beamed so gently, the goal Culture rooted in love Hospitality far above Atmospherically home

My Place
Never the same Intense Glaring dose of reality Havoc on the brain Time lost Maybe a hidden message from deep within And anguish on the soul Relentless sleep paralysis Endless fright

Nightmare(Acrostic)
The rage behind my eyes As I sit silently Oh, no word to the wise Urge to swing violently Seeing through the lies My freedom, I won't compromise The hands of time have... Taken my innocence A call from heaven My heart shattered and turned cold Pain has become limitless It started when I was seven Every call of the worst, I detached Numb to a degree unmatched Had to stand tall and never fold Rebuilt from mangled pieces Still looking for what peace is I became my anchor

Lost in the nightmares Many days blurred together, nowhere to turn Your soul begins to burn A sea of thoughts pulling in every direction Spreading through you like an infection Choosing to breathe breaks the norm Waking from the brainstorm Tuning out the screaming demons Turmoil lasting more than seasons On the verge of giving in a whisper A sliver of light, a spirit lifter Ten toes down, back straight Up for a clean slate Pick your head up, eyes open Lost in the nightmares False sense of security Feeling the air's purity The moment you think you awake You feel fingers on your skin like a snake Shaking yourself, a grip you can't break Your bones begin to ache Muscles twitch under pressure No more lost treasure The demons came into play Your mind wishes to slay You drop to your knees and pray Lost in the nightmares Bloodshot eyes with waves ready to crash Heart beating to the sound of the splash Life goes by in a flash Blood is pouring out like rain Gritting teeth to endure the pain I glanced down at the reflection in the puddle It smiles back with a chuckle You feel pressure on your shoulder Catch a glimpse of the boulder Lost in the nightmares Too much pain to bear Every time you think you are awake Outstretched arms begin to ache Wobbly legs under each stuttering step Every pulse through your veins is like dubstep Heart racing too fast to catch your breath You can't make a sound with the boulder on your cords A creek grows louder on the floorboards Drawing near are shadows, too many to count The pressure begins to mount You rise from your knees Bolt towards the breeze Finally, you are free

I no longer felt alone A new light you've shown You broke my boulder into pieces I now know what peace is A still that becomes invigorating No more time wasted contemplating A new lease on life Onto bigger and better, the highlife Time is the only constant The only irreplaceable Energy is filtered and recycled Perception falls to fate Vibration of the correspondent Convinced it's embraceable Claim to want true but fall into being entitled False facades are the bait

New Beginning?
Moments of weakness happen to us all For I am only human Inner demons are real They hid and waited For I am only human Poking and reminding you of the faults, those which are clear and those that have faded For I am only human Pain is a gateway, and the hurt is the door Tears become the vice, cutting off air For I am in despair, I am only human Guilt is the enemy, and you must go toe to toe with it and prevail It may seem like a battle all your own Hindsight steals the love you need to fuel up For I am only human Pressure mounts, and it becomes hard to decipher reality from fiction The gas tank is empty, and I am not sure where to turn Each breath is weaker and weaker Memories flash before your eyes You have failed at one point or another For I am only human Judgment is clouded, fueled by the liquid bully Torn and disturbed, wondering if it's worth it Shortcomings become thorns ripping away at the flesh that has no more feeling Clarity becomes distant and out of reach It seems impossible to look forward For I am only human I, Hurt Cry Bleed Fail Ignore Disguise Fall Destroy Trust Learn Defeat For I am only human
