A night full of cries and tired eyes
As the moon decidedly falls
The sun will rise and you will find
A new day within the same walls
Voids
You wake up one morning and you’re 6 years old again. Confused and shocked you begin to experience the world, but this time the world gives you the support you always wanted. Your mother is sitting with you at a small table in the playroom, teaching you how to draw clouds with crayons. Or perhaps your father is helping you up after falling off of a bike, slowly easing you back on to teach you to balance. You get the love that you had always desired but had never received. But at what cost?
What motivates us is failure, whether it’s our fault or not. What gives us true appreciation for happiness, is those moments of having to swallow sadness. Living in a perfect world would not generate perfect people. Living in a perfect world would desensitize your desire to be a better person. It’s time to take your emotional and physical deficits and realize, that you are not defined by that which you don’t have. Rather, you will find self-worth in the growth you experience while working to close those voids.
Assumptions
You planted a seed of uncertainty
Which then sprung into this thought
That one day I might walk away
After finding a love you were not
You watered this concept for far too long
It grew to consume your mind
And while you nurtured this false idea
You then foolishly left me behind
I tried to stop you from losing it all
I planted a different seed
Which then grew into why I left you
For the love I could give back to me
Composure
I let your touch guide me
Drifting into the same energy
We find ourselves visiting
Unspoken yet synchronized desires
Folding within and together
We’re falling into unknown territory
But we will deal with the risks
While time remains still
Selfish
Intent is strong and clear in those
Who always justify their reasons why
Because often is it I consistently find
These specific people
Have only themselves in mind
Always Me
Dripping in sin
Cold with a grin
She’s begging to touch
But you never give in
Poisonous tongue
Only for fun
A dangerous game
You have now just begun
Take one more step
Don’t hold your breath
There’s rapture inside
But it all ends in death
Insane
Silent voices
Bounce off of bare walls
I can hear the murmurs
Make their way down the hall
Can you hear them like me?
Can you feel their pain too?
If you could would you listen
The way that I do?
Control
I’m not broken
I’m not lost
I’m not searching
For half of a whole
I’m letting time
Reshape my pain
I’m not broken
But now in control
Lonely
I fell asleep alone last night
In my bed where the sheets take your place
It once was warm and filled with light
Now the dark fills your cold empty space
Grey Area
Not a friend nor a foe
Right or wrong? Neither knows
Fake a truce just to push away hate
Leave me hiding in fear
Can’t trust you or my tears
After waving your white flag too late
What's Mine Is Yours
