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

Without Soil and Grown
The sky cries While the sun shines behind Is it you up in Heaven Grieving us so?

Is it you up in Heaven?
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?

Spit it Out
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.

Withholding Information
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

Odd things
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.

One of those days...
