(work in progress)
Alas I lay here Brokenhearted
A once planed flight never departed
Our wingspan spread to take the air
So I lay here and wonder why
We chose the turbulent ground
and not an ambient sky
Our trip was conjured with great intentions
It was only the details we did not mention
things like gravity don't matter in a dream
Then we faced a harsh reality
not all wings are made for flight
It's easy to be blinded by the beauty of day
and deafened by the torturous silence of night
So now I lay here all alone
A once proud Phoneix, now feeble on my kness
only shell of a former Stature I used to be
Why give a man wings If he was never met to fly
To let him taste what he thought sweet freedom
only a thin cream frosting on a cake of dirt
forged by sadness
then baked with regret
Did you do this so I may learn
This world is not perfect
not like our dreams
so That if ever again We choose to fly
I will abide by the rules of land
and the laws of the sky
The next course we plot will end better
I will plan for now, the present that is
time is to precious to wait for forever
I know this future flight is not a guarantee
Which is why I lay here brokenhearted
Will You come back to me?
(work in progress)
Mirror me first thing i see
upon morning wake i stare at thee
flaws and imperfections appear rapidly
a torrid reflection of a 25 years past
the burning from rage neatly hidden under
a dimpled smile guarded by lock and key
mirror me you cant fool me
others see wit, charm, humor and beauty
I see a scared little boy desprately hiding
who fears to abide my adultly responsibilities
life is still a game, i tell them all, close there eyes and count to three
i found the perfect spot, it's a dark damp place called complacency ,
the happy people never go in there, and even if they do ill convince them
with all my clever guile , they have the wrong man,
after all im just a small child, another lost soul,
demand i recieve a pardon,
and fall back to my latent self-destructive tendencies,
they thought for sure this time they caught me,
I was always the one in control
MIrror me at night i look once more
what in the morning were imperfection,s are now gross misconceptions
perhaps simply, plight of my own delirium
despite many prayers left unanswered to discover my tabula rosa
this is my reality , there will be no redux,my past mistakes already written
SO with that each morning i recive the precious breath of life,
Im once faced again with mirror me, put on my biggest smile
go out and fake my day, just so i can fade once more into the night,
so i may die inside once more
OHdear god i crave that eery feeling,
mirror me i find u so appealing
Broken
BLED OUT
NO MORE TEARS
scar tissue all thats left
residual callusing of 25 years
constantly searching exceptional ways
to fake it through just one more day
suffering is true solstice
no longer hungry for life
finding fullness from the cannibalism occuring from inside
scaveging all remnants of false hope left behind
and to those of you out there still trying to keep warm
tread carefully on thin ice its prone to shatter,
natural law tells us were meant to become cold and useless
it is preordained into the verry essence that is matter
alway be good to those around with a smile on their face
you dont want to be the one to clean up all that mess
I prefer a glass half empty, a glass half full creates quite a splatter
