I can’t sleep at night
I’ve got elements I’m facing
And in my dreams I need it most to see this vision that I’m chasing
And if I wander deeper against this grain
Will I split this earth in two,
Maybe I was born in cycle, maybe I am recycled youth
Still
I can’t sleep at night
That’s when the lost come knocking
Sleep is what is needed most
A rest from a view that I am blocking
Resist the temptation to be tired
Because it comes and goes throughout the day -
Sleepless nights, up late wondering when I will stop standing in my own way
But still
Sleepless nights
I can’t sleep
Sleepless nights
Set me free
Sleepless nights
Lie a-wake
Sleepless nights
Stand in my-way
And tomorrow is here but for the moment so I get up to live the day
Another round of forgotten souls harvest the moon’s decay
And these sleepless night keep me from seeing a life from a brighter point of view-
I can’t sleep at night
So the next day is never new.

i just wanna take a moment to take off my disguise so you can look into my eyes and see inside my mind. tell me what you see. i bet it was a surprise. i bet you saw hidden cries and things that i’ve denied. there’s a thousand tears welled up my eyes but i’ll never show you, i’ll just let my feelings continue to fly to place that’s s•cked my heart dry. i must advise against it but if you wanna act like spies, go ahead, undo the ties i’ve put in place to keep you from the “prize”. i’m impossible to analyze. let me emphasize, i’m not something to be centralized, at the end of this all you can say is “at least i tried”. everything you see inside, please don’t try and memorize. i don’t want my thoughts supervised, they’re hard enough to verbalize...so hard i feel immobilized. perhaps this is a silent cry; i’ll let you decide.

when you eat black pepper
it burns when eaten raw
the flavor of flames linger in your mouth
you drink water to flush the fire out
but water doesn't wipe out the fire
the fire grows harder
so much rage in a single pepper
bad stigma wraps around black peppers like a cold blanket
black peppers helps
cholesterol levels, blood sugar control, and brain and gut health
yet it seems many people refuse to grow black pepper
refuse to give it a chance
a chance to breathe
a chance to help you
but you let them down
you put poison in the peppers
killing them off one by one like its a game
salt brings flavor to the food
it makes cookies sweeter
but many salts can bring **** you with
heart attacks
strokes
dementia
but yet you still let them go
you let them live
even if they can **** you
even if the are a serial killer
why's that?
pepper and salt together makes meals memorable
why don't we stay in a world of flavor instead of war?

Comets
Flying
See the
Air flashing asteroids
Fire and wind
Outside atmosphere
Inside eyes
Watching the star-dusted trail
Following the burning glow
Wish,
Wish again,
Luck, a myth of desire,
Fades in time
Clusters of stars
Our galaxy an endless wonder
Calm, but calamity
Remains
Black holes
Stolen light
Burning sun
Perfect alignment

Howl wolf howl,
Don't wake up the owl
Disturb the peace
Hollow,
The oak tree's sway
The sky is grey
No happy bird chirps
In the darkened day,
Frantic deer run
Field jumping faster
Away from the evil
Away from disaster,
Loud sounds in the distance,
Steps heard,
Visual footprints,
Whirring noises all around
Cutting all the forests down.

The world is full
Of unwilling
Experimental human beings,
Devotees to the
Slavery of school,
Consuming all assortments
Of meaningless gibberish
In the most confusing of ways,
Wasting energy
To waste energy,
To end up in a
Low paying job
With too many bills
And useless knowledge,
Those fortunate souls
Work hard,
Some go to college
Where they get an expensive piece of paper
That may be on the wall for show
And means that its owner
May be smarter than the average joe,
Walking down the street,
School doesn't prepare for the future
It only tells of the past,
Creativity and eccentric ways
Are mildly shunned ,
Information is taught for 13 years
And yet few is retained by most,
So are schools systems failing?
It's safe to say they are.
It needs to change.

Lightly stepping
Towards the light,
Silently quickly
Quickly silent,
Cloud moving
Moving clouded
Sleeping over
Over sleeping
Dreaming dreams daring dreamer

You think you know the pain,
The sorrows day to day,
Isolation
False deception
Hides the truth some way
A slave to reality,
A maid to society,
The mask
Disguises facts
Behind the pearly teeth
Look at the robot,
The perfect machine,
Tell it what to do
Or ignore it,
It has no feeling
If it did
It wouldn't matter,
As long as it didn't talk back
Never voiced what it felt,
Was never itself
If it did
You would throw it away,
After all,
It was worthless,
Right?

Sinking
deeper,
I cry inside,
I can't move,
The tarry, oil black
t h o u g h t s,
Fill me,
Consume my every motion
breath,
crevice,
No light
No air
Iv'e r u n
out of time,
Ran out of hope,
Then I drown
Swallowed by my depression,
Swallowed by the ocean
Swallowed by my fears.

Blink once,
I see
The stars
Look down
On me,
Blink twice,
Planets form
From nothingness
Endless colors
Cold, warm
Don't blink,
Nothing changes
Stays same
Surrounded fully
In strangeness
Same universe,
Same space,
Same everything.

Expanding,
I see the universe
In its truest form
Of beauty,
Where I am standing
On the rings of Saturn,
Watching the sunset,
Not being able to breathe,
But embracing the silence
Of the surreal,
The ethereal image
Being projected to my eyes.
There is no explanation for this,
It is less than describable,
And few moments compare
To one such as this.

Submerged
I inhale the depths
Never wanting to die
Staying alive
Staring at the endless stretch
Of the deepest wonders

I pictured our time together as a circle,
We were supposed to be endless,
And then we realized a circle does not go on forever,
And neither did we...

I feel as if I were a season,
Changing, but always the same,
And yet different enough
To be frowned upon,
And the same enough to be overlooked,
Trapped in a cycle.

Dance
The raindrops
Sunlight
Pass through
Make rainbows for me...
Beautiful.
I see you from the sky
Coming from nowhere
With nowhere to go but down,
You ask me, "Why not up?"
I tell your destiny is to help things grow,
Make beauty for the sky,
And supply the creatures on this planet.
I suppose some of you do not listen
That is why we have drought,
But not all of you are rebels,
You live your cycles of evaporation,
As do we,
But you never end,
And we do.

"Whats the longest word in the English language?"
"I don't know"
"It's 'Smiles',"
"No It's not,"
"Yes it is,"
"How?"
"Because there's a 'mile' between both of the S's,"

(Pieces. Sorting themselves. No)
They don't ever,
They never do,
Unless one has bothered to put them in a puzzle
But may be too puzzled to finish,
And they float around
Messy and scattered,
Like the thoughts in ones head,
Or a room,
Cluttered and dangerous
Because walking through the room without a light
Will most likely cause a Lego or a puzzle piece to get stuck in ones foot,
So whatever lies in this space is like this,
And a clean room has nothing in it, no imperfections, but nothingness,
So since a cluttered desk may be a sign of a cluttered mind
Or at least a person with no organization...
Then is a clean desk the sign of an empty mind,
Or did all of the clutter fall onto the floor
And we're all stuck back in a room with clutter
Falling over the junk that falls off the desks,
And everyone has Lego's stuck in their feet,
And puzzle pieces are puzzling people
Because no one ever bothered to clean it up
Or put the puzzle together correctly...

"Hello,
This is your creative talking...
Math... Hmmmmmmm....
Can't help you there...
English... No.
History? Nuh uh.
Writing poems in the middle of class,
Spacing out unintentionally,
Letting your mind wander to lose your focus,
Zoning off during your teachers lecture,
Just so you can think about this one guy...
Yeah... I think can help you with that..." ;p

You plant a cold,
Wet kiss,
Upon my face.
And my head,
And my entire body is touching many parts of you...
But you are not enough
I cannot have every inch of your skin
Though I am found,
I am lost in you again...
You come in many ways,
In many waves,
Sometimes you pulse against me...
I wish I could have all of your everything,
But like what you are...
I fear I will never get all of you...
I.
Love..
You...
Rain...

When did we
Forget
The world
As it is
The people
Who care
What happens
To us
How many friends
Would die
To save us?
How many people
Would care
If I died?
When did we
Ever realize
How words can hurt?
Did we ever realize that?
Really?
Truly?
I regret to say most have not
They don't know how it feels...

Real words, real thoughts, real references,
What I mention is the truth,
Never to be left questioned or misinterpreted.
The form of performance;
Proper and critique,
I'm forced to sit upright; think straight,
Play pretend with my so called "friends"; act like the person I am.
Disclosed and cold,
Isolated, yet engaged,
A person who unremarkably achieves just anything.
I'm one of the ordinary, but self-expression is considered extraordinary.

True love could be,
just a brilliant,
& rare,
beautiful mistake,
setting my heart,
setting it all aquake,
& it's nothing that I can fake,
with so much that I've got at stake,
So please be gentle,
cuz' that thing can really break,
so take a chance,
cuz' life's a dance,
& one I am so willing to take,
In every single moment ,
that I am awake,
in a feeling I just can't shake,
waiting,
in a deep & endless ache,
baby this thing,
it ain't gotta a brake,
& for everybody else's sake,
One day,
I'm just hoping,
just hoping,
that it's just one,
that I,
can finally,
make.
