I've been off on a twisted adventure,
Finding the best way to reach my center.

It feels like I've been completely alone,
I feel like there are still so many unknowns.

Do I feel any change happening?
Sometimes I wonder if I'm just imagining.

I'm working hard to try something completely new,
It's really weird to be working on myself to.
Turn your head,
Fist your hand,
Forget the bed,
Make a stand,

Tis your play,
Stop, you'll slay,
Resist the urge,
To break away

You have naught to lose,
You know you'll bruise,
I urge you still
To make a move,

Deep breaths,
Steady steps,
Jaw, set,
How you want to be met,

Grind your gears,
Prepare to steer,
You are far more,
Than all your fears,

You were born for this,
A sum of all that Is,
A tiny little spark,
That tears the world apart
love wills to enter the pain
to sit with the suffering
in unison with the poor
experience injustice
to be mocked, tortured
spat upon, called names
finally violently murdered
I'm falling, tears, fears to the full
Grow your roses on my barren soul
Oh a beautiful rose, plant the seed in my empty skull

The best of your days,
spent in vast fields of memorabilia.
Golden drops of sunset rain,
wash over your haste,
and you reach out for the hidden starlight,  
to rewrite the melodies of your broken heart.
Poets say flies want to befriend
but in reality
they just keep on checking
whether you are dead, yet.
language gets tangled
re-arranged in minds
regurgitated, spewed
its a wonder anyone
knows
what anyone is saying.
