My mind is a prison and captivity feels like home
Refrain for the sake of little sanity
Still I remain under the spell of this brutality
With nowhere to wander
Not knowing how to diverge
I shall stay under
Under this heavy load of wanting to surrender
Don't keep telling me
'Your mind is the enemy
Playing you like a sad sad violin
So bitter yet so calming
And it's been becoming more alarming
With the crippling state you keep pacing in
If you don't make it right
Soon you'll be all out of sight
Sweet love it's time you put up a fight
Let the fire, so dire,...
Still I remain under the spell of this brutality
With nowhere to wander
Not knowing how to diverge
I shall stay under
Under this heavy load of wanting to surrender
Don't keep telling me
'Your mind is the enemy
Playing you like a sad sad violin
So bitter yet so calming
And it's been becoming more alarming
With the crippling state you keep pacing in
If you don't make it right
Soon you'll be all out of sight
Sweet love it's time you put up a fight
Let the fire, so dire,...

Inside The Ruins
Verse 1
There are things i would never say to you
Not because i dont want you to know but
Surely to keep you from the hurt
I know you care, i know you're there
And i would not be left astray
But isn't it wicked that i still keep you away
From all of this weary baggage while I decay?
Chorus
Cold whispers, inside my mind
Storm ignites, pulling me under
Secrets weigh, heavier than a lifeless body
Fear creeps in, leaving chills in the bones
When I shut my eyes, walls come closing in
And that's when I want to give up...
There are things i would never say to you
Not because i dont want you to know but
Surely to keep you from the hurt
I know you care, i know you're there
And i would not be left astray
But isn't it wicked that i still keep you away
From all of this weary baggage while I decay?
Chorus
Cold whispers, inside my mind
Storm ignites, pulling me under
Secrets weigh, heavier than a lifeless body
Fear creeps in, leaving chills in the bones
When I shut my eyes, walls come closing in
And that's when I want to give up...

Lost
Verse 1
There is nothing more that I want than to let you go
Even though you are all that I know
Nothing feels more like home than you
I know it's crazy to make this confession
And believe me when I say
Although you put me down and chew me up
You are the one always around no matter the circumstances
Chorus
Lock myself inside for days
Stopped going out with my mates
Lost inside this blurry maze
Never seize to find my way
Everything is in disarray
Just let me have one more day
Free of your savagery ...
There is nothing more that I want than to let you go
Even though you are all that I know
Nothing feels more like home than you
I know it's crazy to make this confession
And believe me when I say
Although you put me down and chew me up
You are the one always around no matter the circumstances
Chorus
Lock myself inside for days
Stopped going out with my mates
Lost inside this blurry maze
Never seize to find my way
Everything is in disarray
Just let me have one more day
Free of your savagery ...

Mind of Mine
Stop and say it to me
I have got nowhere to be
And this mind of mine, gets the best of me
Please just let it out, don’t keep on holding in
Tell me what I have been dreading to hear
Don’t fret, I will be okay, It is okay, my dear
It’s not easy to get through the days
Feeling so dizzy because of the fuzziness
Hovering over me since forever
As long as I remember
You have been there saving me time and time again
And I am sorry, so very sorry
I might have forgotten
You are only human yourself too
It’s...
I have got nowhere to be
And this mind of mine, gets the best of me
Please just let it out, don’t keep on holding in
Tell me what I have been dreading to hear
Don’t fret, I will be okay, It is okay, my dear
It’s not easy to get through the days
Feeling so dizzy because of the fuzziness
Hovering over me since forever
As long as I remember
You have been there saving me time and time again
And I am sorry, so very sorry
I might have forgotten
You are only human yourself too
It’s...

Unattended Conversations
The perspective changes
When you go through such big phases
A quick movement taking you away
Leaving with a thousand questions
For the ones behind left to face the unkind world
I hope you didn't regret during your final breath
I hope you laid there with some good memories
I didnt know you much
But i wish you had stayed
Until your time was here
I won't be questioning your decision
I am not thinking of you in a bad way
But you have left me with a strange feeling
Every thought feels altered and heavy
Along with...

SELF POEM

Incarcernation of my mind
It's not just the way life is
It's the way I think of it
Incarcernation of my mind
Makes it all so hard to spend the nights
With the slithering thoughts
Alone without anyone there to share the burden
That's building up on my chest
I am not brave enough
It's the way I think of it
Incarcernation of my mind
Makes it all so hard to spend the nights
With the slithering thoughts
Alone without anyone there to share the burden
That's building up on my chest
I am not brave enough

MISCELLANEOUS POEM

14th Jun 2019 8:09pm
I can't be your friend anymore
This might come as quite a shock
But I've given it a lot of thought
This thing that's come between us can't be ignored
I've taken all I can
This is where it's gotta end
Cause I can't be your friend anymore
And I can't be accused
Of not bein' there for you
How many nights have you shown up at my door
I hope you understand
That this wasn't in my plans
But I can't be your friend anymore
But I've given it a lot of thought
This thing that's come between us can't be ignored
I've taken all I can
This is where it's gotta end
Cause I can't be your friend anymore
And I can't be accused
Of not bein' there for you
How many nights have you shown up at my door
I hope you understand
That this wasn't in my plans
But I can't be your friend anymore

Lullaby for the mind
Untangle the wires in my mind
Free me from the demon living in there
Guide me to the light
I have been longing to find
Instead of telling me it gets better
Show me that it's worth the fight
I dont really focus of rhyming my work. Sometimes i do, mostly i dont.
Free me from the demon living in there
Guide me to the light
I have been longing to find
Instead of telling me it gets better
Show me that it's worth the fight
I dont really focus of rhyming my work. Sometimes i do, mostly i dont.

When You Think of Me
I can see it in your eyes
Your words are full of lies
Heart's become cold as ice
You may think it is all so nice
But remember it will come back
It always come back to haunt you
You know it is all true
So go on row your boat
Away from the crowd
That keeps looking at you
Reminding you of your mistakes
Of your unfair ways back in the days
I hope you find something to keep
Maybe something better than me
And the tides don't pull you under
Leaving you alone to weep
This isn't me wishing you bad luck ...
Your words are full of lies
Heart's become cold as ice
You may think it is all so nice
But remember it will come back
It always come back to haunt you
You know it is all true
So go on row your boat
Away from the crowd
That keeps looking at you
Reminding you of your mistakes
Of your unfair ways back in the days
I hope you find something to keep
Maybe something better than me
And the tides don't pull you under
Leaving you alone to weep
This isn't me wishing you bad luck ...

Changes building up
Maybe the only thing keeping me here
The thought of never being able to exist again
I’d be long gone if it was a different concept
If existence was possible even after going six feet underground
There is no surrender in this war
Weapons won’t lay themselves down
The dire need to put it out
Makes my mind go all fuzzy
Don’t want to keep on waiting
I have got to keep myself steady
Show them demons, I am ready
I wish the gravity was strong enough
Pull me deep, leave me to bleed
Don’t you all weep
For I could...
The thought of never being able to exist again
I’d be long gone if it was a different concept
If existence was possible even after going six feet underground
There is no surrender in this war
Weapons won’t lay themselves down
The dire need to put it out
Makes my mind go all fuzzy
Don’t want to keep on waiting
I have got to keep myself steady
Show them demons, I am ready
I wish the gravity was strong enough
Pull me deep, leave me to bleed
Don’t you all weep
For I could...

Reminiscence
Late night roaming in the city
Cold breeze and smell of the sea
To me it just all seems
Like a perfect blend of serenity
Only if I could, I would stop
And picture this feeling inside of a frame
Just so that I can go back and revisit
Hold up to the sound of your heart breaking
Take in, this very instant and let it leave a mark
And when you find yourself slipping in the dark
You are deep in the terror so stark
Take a glimpse of the memories
Reminiscence should be enough
Until you can really do it all over again
...
Cold breeze and smell of the sea
To me it just all seems
Like a perfect blend of serenity
Only if I could, I would stop
And picture this feeling inside of a frame
Just so that I can go back and revisit
Hold up to the sound of your heart breaking
Take in, this very instant and let it leave a mark
And when you find yourself slipping in the dark
You are deep in the terror so stark
Take a glimpse of the memories
Reminiscence should be enough
Until you can really do it all over again

Felo de se
If I didn't have to think of the others
All the loved ones and my mother
Without any second thought to consider
I would take myself to a permanent slumber
The only place my heart knows to hover
Where my head could find peace
I shouldn't be thinking with such conviction
I should be trying to get away from my addiction
But if I could, I would sign a petition
To free me from the trouble in my head
But all these hours I spend every day only by myself
I think about all the ways to escape
To be alone is to think and to think is...
All the loved ones and my mother
Without any second thought to consider
I would take myself to a permanent slumber
The only place my heart knows to hover
Where my head could find peace
I shouldn't be thinking with such conviction
I should be trying to get away from my addiction
But if I could, I would sign a petition
To free me from the trouble in my head
But all these hours I spend every day only by myself
I think about all the ways to escape
To be alone is to think and to think is...
