Raging thoughts, anger inducing
Peace disruptors, energy reducing
If you don't initiate control, your life goes astray
But if you feel and allow them to engulf your soul, it will not lead to dismay

Rage, greed, gluttony, envy
Are the weeds of the ever green tree
Of our livelihood,
But we truly only require the leaves and the wood

Happiness, contentment, humbleness,
Are the photons that disintegrate the darkness,
Its all really a state of mind, a controlled flux of neuronal flow,
That doesn't allow pessimism to further grow

Save a life, feed the poor,
Lend a helping hand, for such humans today who care for others are fewer
Our actions truly are the building blocks of our ever expanding emotions,
Believe me, this is the only remaining solution

A prerequisite for a balanced human, and a balanced globe,
We are the world's final glimmer of hope,
We are emotional living beings,
With empathy, self control and a plethora of good deeds.

A growing flower in the field
A wilting flower
A different flower
The flower hates itself, its wilted grey self
Flowing in the wind is the poor dead flower

An endless sea of thought
Dark depths of the unknown
Emotional connections have been sought
Inability to understand has shown
Repercussions of damage cannot be taught
To return to the void of being alone
It is all I have learned to know

Death doesn’t scare me anymore as much as rejection does,
To be denied by someone who already knows me,
Who I once was?
Would terrify my soul,
Cause I wouldn’t have control;
Who wants to die,
To wake up and be told they aren’t loved anymore?
No matter the struggle. There will always be better days.

One Question

If I cut deep enough, will the pain pour out of me like the rain,
Cleanse my soul and make me new?

If I cut deep enough will the flowers start to grow?

If I cut deeper than their words
Maybe today will be the day

And if today is the day, I ask one question

Did I cut deep enough?

If I could love
the limping
ugly
afraid
part of me
That I drag through the mud
and thorns

If I could let
the transparent
clawing
screaming
silhouette speak
Instead of kicking it
into the basement

If I could put
my deepest human essence
onto paper
for everyone to see

Then.
Then, I could be free.

The ocean
Is so
Peaceful and calm
I wish
I was
Like the ocean

How is it,
I feel more alone,
Alongside others each day,

Than I did,
Continuously in solitude?

People exhaust my heart.

Alone it idealizes,
Interactions,
Romanticizes,
Human nature.

Reality,
Weighs heavy,
And disappoints.
