Avoiding my greatness because the world is loving on mediocrity
Preaching that I'm a God, man, the hypocrisy
I mean, I am a God in the flesh but, lately I ain't been acting like one
Depression and fear keeping my reactions stuck on run
Run, run running myself into the ground
Digging in search of my God Given crown
Meanwhile, I can't feel it resting upon my crowww-anium
& how is it that in my own body I feel alien
Trying to keep myself from feelin' insane again
So I say again to the pain within that reigns me in please let me inhale the scent of...

Shooting Star
We went from everyday connectin' to everyday we stressin' but I guess that's just what happens when you rush the connection..
Damn...
So now here we are, short circuited, fuses blown and the only thing we can thank the pain for is how much we've grown but I'm having a hard time letting you go because you've become all that I've known...
Shit...
Because I don't miss us, I just miss you
But now you're love appears to be out of view
& I'm yearning my for my best friend now that this lovers love has come to an end all the while trying...

Torn (The Fibonacci Sequence Competition)
Torn.
You
left
me broke
& shattered.
I leapt for my heart
that you dropped like it was nothing.
Catching it quickly,
I feel lost,
hurt,
torn.

The things I Miss
I haven't seen you in several days
& I'm just writing to tell you I miss some of your ways
I miss the way your face scrunched up when I playfully denied you a kiss
How every time we went out to eat, we were more concerned with giving a good tip
I miss seeing your body wrapped in a towel fresh after a shower, and how you still looked at me shyly when you dropped it
I miss seeing you feel insecure or weak, so I can boost you up with my love and words
I miss wrapping my arms around you completely, I was your rock & you were my girl ...

The Beast
A conversation with the inner strength we all have.
"Hello, it's been awhile."
"What are you doing here?"
"I've come to set you free."
"Free? Hahaha, You must be joking me."
"No, I'm not."
"BUT YOU WERE THE ONE WHO PUT ME IN THIS PRISON!"
"I know. I apologize for that."
"You think a mere apology is going to win my forgiveness?"
"No, but I think what I have to say next will."
*Breathes deeply*

Lonely Thinker
Is it wrong to feel alone in a world full of misconception?
Minds hidden under barriers receiving no reception
Is it wrong to think the way I think, if no one thinks the same?
Is it my hard childhood, or my struggling lifestyle to blame?
The sad part is, no one wants to understand, even though they pretend
Listening to me express my deepest thoughts, probably wishing my talking would end
.
..
...
....
..........
.....
I wonder a lot, so much so that to wonder has become second hand
I forget that I'm thinking, losing track of time...

Thoughts Lost
This feeling of being lost in thought has overwhelmed my soul,
& never before have I felt this alone
My eyes light up with joy, but my smile widens with regret,
For the pain is what I wish could be seen, but the, empty smiles are what you get
Alone is all I have ever known, and alone I will always be.
I've heard turn to God, but why? Didn't he make me?
Life has handed me more then enough lemons for my lemonade,
Throw in some salted wounds, some faith, and this soul is what was made.
Thoughts constantly traveling to forbidden lands,...
& never before have I felt this alone
My eyes light up with joy, but my smile widens with regret,
For the pain is what I wish could be seen, but the, empty smiles are what you get
Alone is all I have ever known, and alone I will always be.
I've heard turn to God, but why? Didn't he make me?
Life has handed me more then enough lemons for my lemonade,
Throw in some salted wounds, some faith, and this soul is what was made.

"Uhm, Hey Dad"
(Wrote this a couple weeks ago while furious, and it just kept spilling out smoothly. Here's the final product, & Disclaimer: It's a lot darker then my usual pieces.)
Fed up with the world wishing I could ascend
Wishing the lives of the mediocre minded would end
Despite the facade of a smile,
The last time I was happy, I don't know, it's been a while
Struggling just to struggle some more, what's the point?
Let chance decide the outcome, where's a coin?
Heads, off with my head, leave the lifeless body in my bed
Tails, tip the scales like my mind trying...
Fed up with the world wishing I could ascend

Despite the facade of a smile,
The last time I was happy, I don't know, it's been a while
Struggling just to struggle some more, what's the point?
Let chance decide the outcome, where's a coin?

"Soldier of Love, Warrior of Hope"
& as Fear struck him down, his armor shattered to pieces, the armor that the soldier himself spent years forging with metals enchanted by his love. Armor, that withheld through battles with gods, withstood the mightiest of blows, and defended against the strongest of evils.
This armor had finally shattered, seeing a lifetime of battles, but battles that changed their meanings each time. His armor was tired. His armor was old. His armor had finally completed its job in protecting him.
A battle scarred body, covered from shoulder to shoulder, was now exposed to the world....

The Lone Wolf
As the sun rises and sets, his mind never ceases to think
And his hope in humanity continues to shrink
A heart of love filled to the very brink
But what's love worth these days any way?
And his hope in humanity continues to shrink
A heart of love filled to the very brink
But what's love worth these days any way?
