As though seeking
To replace the war
And he was immensely devoted
There, his barren, regretted valley
Slender now and sickly
He could be seen finally
Pacing the outlines of his loss
All the men missing
After months these tasks were over
His shock aggravated
Grew to a fever at times
A malady and instructor
His place during the battle
Surely not belonging
His stride had bothered
Having known many retreats
What creates such a creature
How does one persist as others
Earning days beneath the worthless
This place he had torn apart
Where no beliefs are victorious
Only for his dwelling
Only in his refusal to escape
Did this madness find a master

The sky cries
While the sun shines behind
Is it you up in Heaven
Grieving us so?

Putting effort into every word that moves your lips
Is something to be rejoiced.
By your will, they were created
And pushed into reality.
But
To make sense of nonsense spewing
Is a task deemed rare and true.
To tiptoe the line makes others try
To define the space for you.
What are you saying?
What are you trying to say?

Words, redacted,
Still echo in my mind.
Esteem in shambles.
Foundation unstable.
Aware enough to know the fallacy
Yet to weak to tune it out.
Communication misheard.
Emotions unchecked.
Can't swallow this;
Choking to death.
Words on a CD disc
Covered in scratches
Skip-skip-skip, away to oblivion.
I can't breathe in a pool of oxygen.
Weights lifted,
Pressure remains.
Heart is ready to burst
In a gruesome seen
Of mental instability.

In real life you discover things in the oddest places
Perhaps you are sitting at a bar sipping a beer
Waiting
And you share a look with someone
A sudden thought is stirred
You're life clicks, the constant problems you've been calculating
Finally equate
And the world for a moment
Makes complete sense
It's the strangest feeling
Like a surge or a breath
God has taken his lips to yours and given you something to believe in
Tomorrow looks brighter on days like this
And the world makes sense

where you bottle all up,
where you put your past back in a box,
where you decide to exist
and live the feeling.
One of those days
where you feel the sun on your skin,
where you embrace the world,
where music makes you dance
and makes you feel good.
One of those days
where you can't stop smiling,
where the world smiles back at you,
where people lift you up
and touch your heart.
One of those days
where every song makes you sing,
where you know you took the right choices,
where everything makes sense
even your existence.
