FROM PAIN TO PEACE
Anxiety and panic made my life a living hell
No doctor knew what to do except to tell me to relax
When you are in the middle of a panic attack
Try to relax while your mind and body crumbles
As your primitive animal instincts burst out of you
Called by a fear that has no name and nobody knows it
Until they experience it as we are incapable of walking
In anothers shoes which means that even the kindest
Cannot help you and you must seek help for yourself
It has taken me my entire life to cope with this disease
I will never be fully cured but understanding how to cope
Has taken me from pain to acceptance
From acceptance to periods of remission
From periods of remission to periods of peace
For that I am grateful beyond measure
If you have what I have can I help you please?

PEACE VIA PAIN
The solitude and myself
kept walking hand in hand
the wounds were not ready to heal
my ruby lips always stitched and sealed.
Careless of what world speaks
Fed into the day night shrieks
Surprising scars with each new day
Pushing closer to the dark way.
Haunted dreams with scary screams
Unrevealing ecstasy it surely seems
The trials of love and pain attached
Its possibly impossible to detach.
Soon,when I tried playing with my shadow
Ray of light started peeping through the window
Confused, unsure, ignoring this act
Locked the room not knowing how to react.
Eventually started seeking soul with the last attempt
Taken aback, I successfully acknowledged thyself
Power of hope overcomed the power of pain
Peaceful spirit was plastered in my heart and brain.

VOID
Void
Opens up
Enters
My veins
Ambushed anger
Reveals no emotion
This edge I walk
You see from the side line
Sacrificial ritual
Does not bleed for me
I crossed the line
Of mortality
As the cloth around my waist
Soaks the skin
Today I am none
My halo shines from pain within
Void

Sacrificial ritual
Does not bleed for me
I crossed the line
Of mortality
As the cloth around my waist
Soaks the skin
Today I am none
My halo shines from pain within
To paint you a picture
of pain to peace
while my own story is incomplete
Wouldn't be the way to my peace
to come to terms with my crimes
All I've done, what I've lost.
My trial is not complete
my hands are not clean.
I am expendable.
A pawn, to be played.
Trust in this,
to find my way from pain to peace
Is to be at peace with my pain.
Whether I accept what I've become or not.

"My Support"
My vices have been escapes that take me away from a world without her there;
but now her presence clears the air, for I indulge in her laughter and comic flair.
Sharing intimate conversations that last through the tempest nights and early morn;
interactions that reveal our thoughts in mind, for we were born of love, and we yearn to explore.
No questions asked are out of bounds, for neither of us hides what dwells within;
her only wish is for me not to judge, for we all have run from skeletons.
Her beauty overpowers my senses, and gives me a shot of what I’ve been without;
creating rivers of passion that we drown within, and seeing heaven in the eyes we dream about.
We feel the world around us, but yet we exist in our own fantasy;
we make delightful memories of every scene, and give supportive affection randomly.
With her is where my comfort lies, for no longer do I cling to the chains of past;
yet never regretting the emptiness of my lonely nights, for I was bravely waiting for destiny to cross our paths.

Last time calling me baby
Took something like a time out
Because I needed to find
Who I was seperate from you
said I was selfish heartless and cruel
But its cool
I wana thank you for the pain you've caused me
Because it pushd me to explore unexplored seas
It wasnt love it was me being too deep
Attachement-just a schedule I was used to
Something i Let my self adapt to being used to
Woke up created my own life
One without you and constant teers in my eyes
One without nothing but ears full of lies
Fell away from anxiety and nothing but sleepless nights
Thought i needed someone to survive
Feels so good to finally come alive
Falling inlove with me for the first time
Hello me let me introduce you to you
Open your eyes baby girl your world is brand new
At the end of the night its only me and you
And our thoughts are the only things that are true
Took something like a time out
Because I needed to find
Who I was seperate from you
said I was selfish heartless and cruel
But its cool
I wana thank you for the pain you've caused me

"I Found Evil in a Gum Wrapper"
I found evil in a gum wrapper;
it was when I was on the floor
on all fours
acting like a whore
begging for more.
I saw you lying under a closet door.
And it wasn't just there,
I saw you on a stair
when I went to this guy's lair
caught in addiction's snare.
I went anywhere
the pill made me dare.
You were there when evil was riding me,
but I wasn't there you see.
Imagination got me as far as I could be
because I didn't accept the reality;
the gross things I did never came free.
But gum wrapper you're here no more.
You're no longer under a door
and I'm not that same whore.
You're no longer there
where I tripped up a stair
because I escaped addiction's snare.
Evil came in me
and I know you could see,
but that's no longer my reality.
I'm free.

Wishing Stone
Pour those droplets again against my calm screen
unguided red orange hues of sun bleaching
our new morning's glorious face
i left you broken in scars of star
melting space and void
queer in endless frozen hopes
coat me in walls of
she-ness and witty
political scarcasm
she radiates vanity through sin smell & smokes
clawing moon in canvas of blackened shadows,
soaking swollen white flames in hell's blood winter
for there was nothing to live without you.

Metamorphoses
You sit in a darkness only blind fish know of
aspirating with each inhalation and choking on regurgitated regret
sit with yourself in a state that you'd give anything to move from
giving up, so far down and sinking with desperate, open arms
sobbing, because crying wasn't deep enough
until the faintest light shines and the blackness magnifies it
a sign of hope twinges memories of living to awaken forgotten senses
and a new, stronger soul emerges
changed forever

“Just to Be Alive”
http://moblog.net/media/o/j/oj/looking-at-the-sun.jpg
(Peace in Pain)
The theory of relativity
is truly in the eyes of the beholder.
Oh, this human condition!
Slaughtering each other,
generations by genocide, manifest destiny,
heated holocaust and atomic-mushroom rides.
And yet we hide so much,
scribbling about what ails us,
confessing to one another
about having not much fun,
yet, I will always face the sun.
Pain is certainly your own,
something we all share in common
that’s peace enough for me,
for I'm so very blessed,
just to be alive.
