#theunknown
Turn the **** of the unknown, Putting fear in the dirt Knowing trust is far more valuable Than the tricks of the enemy.

The ****
When the first man first achieved consciousness So that he knew he had fallen asleep, How can you imagine his nervousness That he had died and gone into the deep? Or the first time thunder roared overhead, Having never seen lightning in the sky? Primitive man must have thought he was dead, Or in the moments to come he would die. Before there were mirrors or reflection, Could man know that he had a human face? For without any form of inspection, He’d have thought himself alone in his place. I feel like I know only a bit more, But I only know what’s already here. What’s coming has never happened before, It’s arrival will stun me into fear.

Ode to the Unknown Experience
A poison so sweet, irresistible, Much like the nights where those fictional thoughts creep up your throat and run down your eyes Leaving you alone to your own demise I despise how your own physical disappears with your mental as you, poison yourself with something demented but, yet, you swallow knowing of its effects on you. As your mind soars afar yet you stay near as the wind brushes pass your ear, whispering the things you need to hear. While hoping that it'd take you anywhere that would save you from the immortality that is the endless depth of your mind that seems to never diffuse into the  darkness of irrationality. Yes the home,  of insanity that is cozier than your rationality that picks you apart, spurns you around and knocks you down into an abysmal bliss of  a reality that is split into two, with the question am I really me or am I  really you ? I wanted to eat and eat and projectile ***** the aches of this soul into the oblivion that is thee unknown.

What Runs Deep...
Distorted reality as which to become, A land full of joy and excitement. Where candy is as sweet as love, Followed by words of true intention, Laughter as satisfying as lust, In a world so unknown, yet kind.

Off to Adventureland
so we leap taking daring chances into the things we do not know but holding onto the feeling that it will be worth it -k.j.c

Am I
These arms   are yours to break, So steal me in the clench of your teeth. Lull me into your ******* make me your little **** *** Longing to connect, release your blackest sunset; Let us not forget one another. Nuzzled in your Forever, I'm eternally Found && Grateful.

**** ***
once you know the truth there is no going back you cannot unsee it there is no longer a choice to stay oblivious to the unknown all these answers you search for cannot be found for a reason watch the show stay in front of the curtains don't look behind for ignorance is bliss and wisdom is prison

Blissful Ignorance
my lids are heavy held down by pain and dried blood I can feel the ground my fingers wet the smell of a public toilet it's dark I feel like I've just lost my mind Two days later I'm pressed against hot benches light blaring down on my now red bare chest I know I can't move "Sit Down!" if I stretch my legs just for a second I could be in here the entire day Five years later sewing in thick gloves that don't fit my once feminine hands I can see past the windows that can't open men walking in the grass gray clothes gray hair walking together as if they were chained or had been for far too long One year later the walls laugh at me their pathetic attempts at a ***** feel"* I see my friend in the corner of the room I'd missed her I start walking towards her and notice her chin caked in spit and her eyes glazed over with emptiness will I ever be free will I ever convince them will I ever run again will he ever find me

1929 - Miss Cartwright
O' retched creature, Un hand me from thy grasp! I must be free, And then you'll find, I'm worth being kept alive.

Plagued
Deep within me, I kindle a fire it is a feisty one, it asks to avow desire throw caution to the winds, throw my carefully built life in the pyre not sure of anything, yet sure of mind it tires daily, of the senseless grind it begs leave, and pleads escape to the highest peaks, of snowy cape so I can see the land, its lie and shape or the deepest seas, and their churning depths but I must not be hasty, nor take too giant steps One 'venture at a time, and back to the grime Sly is she, faithful old time she looks me askance, and what have I to show? The usual treasures, I venture? she shakes her head, no She wants my tales, be they of passion or woe She wants my pain, that helped me grow but I have nothing of the sort, that I can show She laughs in my face, and calls me a fool I have chased after ghosts, and missed life's school. and so the fire burns, it begs me to start collecting my pearls, of wisdom and heart rowing my boat, into adventure lane It is not too late, never is, to catch life's train and set off for the unknown; unsure, untrained.
