I sit in silence.

This Never ending pain.

Where the dark clouds follow.

A never ending rain.

With every thunderous boom.

Its Causing me to shake.

A shivering sadness

From the water on my face.

My voice starts to quiver.

I simply cant keep up with the pace.

You see these thoughts are just racing.

They howl like the wind

Just twirling around

With no way to win

As these tears flow freely.

Staring out into the storm.

Striking deep in my perception

Of how I see the world.

With every bright flash

A different perspective percieved.

The thoughts they are now slowing

And so is the breeze

The thunder it weakens

Just a low grumble now

The soothing smell of the water

I put my knees on the ground

My mind starts to ease

A gentle wind at my back

I put a mask on my face

So that I can head back

To a world that seems broken

Until once again

The storm is awakend

But I know how it ends.
(Soft and eerie tune in a minor key, slow tempo)
The itsy bitsy spider, crawled into Sarah's hair,
Weaving webs of darkness, with every silken snare,
Out with eggs she planted, hidden deep within,
Out came the babies, where nightmares like to creep.
They whispered in the shadows, as Sarah lost her mind,
Crawling through her thoughts, with webs they’d slowly bind,
Round and round they spun her, in threads so thin and tight,
Charlotte's twisted children, brought fear into the night.
Her cries grew faint and hollow, as madness took its hold,
The spiders danced and scurried, in patterns dark and cold,
No more warmth or comfort, just whispers in the walls,
As Sarah’s screams were silenced in the cursed spider’s thrall.
They whispered in the shadows, as Sarah lost her mind,
Crawling through her thoughts, with webs they’d slowly bind,
Round and round they spun her, in threads so thin and tight,
Charlotte's twisted children, brought fear into the night.
An improbable role

I guess my mind is forsaken

Mental health is joke

But Dont be mistaken

People struggle with thoughts

But Weve turned it into a weapon

We fumble on words and the world judges us

A formal display that just tears us up

A societal fridge that freezes us up

But What is normal is this thing we call life?

That very question implys there's a standard to living

But Normals not real.

Its just what society makes it.

A general consensus does not make something real

Take the nazis, the mongols, the taliban and tell me their ideals speak true.

Society sets a standard

We dont have to apply

**** it ill just be me in this thing we call life

The world has come hard at me, but im like the sun.

This light will shine

The shadows cast are all behind me now

Moving towards what illuminates

I'll never be consumed by the dark abyss

I'm heading towards what's bright

This light

No matter how dark it gets

I'm like sysaphis. I'll just keep moving to the top of the hill

No matter what happens, I will break my curse

I might be broken within my brain

But that makes sense because Im Chasing what's insane

That's where I find what's improbable

The impossible coming to light

I'm building my soul.  

Every part is a missing piece.

Slowly building until I reach my peace.
