Falling in to myself
Fading behind my eyes
Lost in the world inside
I will not lose this war
Drawing the line
I take my stance
My opponent before me
There's no defeating me
No matter what the outcome
The win is mine
I am overcome and conquered
I am the victor of this battle
All that I am is dying
Fading in my tears each night
One more day
I might be gone
Swallowed by the pain inside
Eaten from the within
Can you see the hollow in my eyes?
The emptiness of dying
The lack of a soul torn to pieces
The depths where a heart is locked
Suffocating in this hatred prison
Struggling for new breath
Each moment passing
Might just be my last
Smothered by the nothing around me
Choked by air
Can you feel the failing of my breath?
The lack of will to go on
The deprivation of strength to live
The absence of any real feeling
Struggling for just one more day (one more breath)
Fighting for reason to come back (to go on)
Trying to keep it from killing me (Can't I live?)
Striving to forget the pain (Can't I heal?)
Just one more day and I might be free
Just one more day and I might be gone
Swallowed by the pain that takes my breath
Don't leave me to this fate
Give me my life
Light beyond the window
Wind blown leaves dancing
Vision smeared
Myriad streaks running
Rivers of roads go forth
Brewing darkness rolling in
Foundations quake from clashing air
Sudden ease strikes
A bomb blast of silence
The beginning has not yet begun
Dark clouds rain falling
Lightning crashes free my soul
Storm brewing my life
Struggling to find a purchase
The fall of sanity
Pain thrusting against my heart
Agony tearing at my mind
Losing sight of this reality
A new world descends
Escape the prison to fantasy
My mind's breath
So I survive each day
It's been 10 more days
I'm still lost this way
Nothing but time before my eyes
Truth put to all the lies
How can you just leave me here
Abandon me to loss and fear
In the wake of your cruel haste
Bitterness is all I taste
Time has taken its toll on me
Grabbing and tearing at pieces of my soul
The hatred consuming me
Pain taking control
I see the truth of it all
Deep inside I can see what it is
Struggling and fighting for air to breath
Chains shatter and fall away
Seeing my true self
I have broken loose
There's nothing more that you can do
I've broken free and I'll stay that way
Fighting for all that I am
I am what I am
I'll rise above it all
A soul untamed
A life unchained
Taking my leave
I am alive
Source of my pain is pain
Grit in an ever healing wound
Absence of joy becomes torture
Like the empty side of the bed
Hollow meolody of heart's loss
Silent tears of lullaby
Sing to me and bring me peace
Drown the neverending pain
Leave and be done
Never again offend my senses
Take your putrid foolishness
Your vile mannerisms
Anathema before my eyes
A mask you wear
Hiding the bloody corpse
The moon settles into nights embrace
My friend and my repose
It watches as I lay on a bed of grass
Visions begin to weave before my eyes
My world and its splendor
I stare at the shining moon
My friend and my repose
An oath upon this night I swear
One day my world will be this one
I was going through some of my old writing today, and some of it isn't as bad as I remember it. It's after I stopped limiting myself to four lines. I also came across some of my attempts at writing actual music, I might put one or two either in here or in my portfolio. For now, I thought I should include some of my old works in here, these are from about 6-7 years ago.
Life Goes By
Life goes by
And you don't know why
But you can't get a grip
You just keep letting life slip
You try so hard
And you get so far
Bt it just keeps going
Without you even knowing
Someway to stop
Letting life drop
No Title
I walked along in the rain
While doing so I entered a wood
And there I chanced upon something I can't explain
'Twas not bad nor completely good
So I walked bacik into the rain
And a time there I stoold
FInally deciding that there it would a while remain
My Sorry
Even though I tried
It ended up that I lied
I would do anything now
If I could change it somehow
Even though I can't change the past
I can make my sorry last
I said you could count on me
So now how can it be
That I wasn't there
When you needed me to care
I know that I walked away
But I just couldn't stay
'Cause you couldn't see
What I hide inside of me
I've hiddne myself somehow
And do what I do now
Because I love you
That's something I shouldn't do
Even though I hear you cry
I just sit here and sigh
'ause I just can't tell
If I want to keep you well
To See It
To see it
It must be felt
To feel it
It must be known
To know it
It must be understood
To understand it
It must be found
To find it
You must live
Poetry
Poetry is a free flowing art
Coming directly from the heart
Always on the go
To never stop is its fate
A language all its own
Some give it love and some hate
Its entirety is never shown
For life and for death
It's never going to let go
for that would mean the loss of creativity
In this you can take consolement
Never for this need you worry
Its job is never done
Sending out the heart's message
Hinged doors for it are on the mind
Ending only with existence
Done only when all have given up
No Idea
I had a great idea
But it said see ya
And ran away
Before I could make it stay
Words
Words are just words
They come in herds
It's actions ya know
That really show
Who's the real you
So be careful what you do
Pushing forward
Adamant determination
Walls barring
Falling and crumbling
Beaten to rubble
Barriers but paper
No deterring me
Neverending will
Indomitable force
