Strenuous conditions
You push and you push
To little avail
You feel your strength fleeting
With every exhale
You continue to push
Again and again
Showing more strength
Then all other men
You finally finish
Bringing end to your plight
Gaining pride with each inhale
You have won your fight
To little avail
You feel your strength fleeting
With every exhale
You continue to push
Again and again
Showing more strength
Then all other men
You finally finish
Bringing end to your plight
Gaining pride with each inhale
You have won your fight

Blue valentine's
Once broken it cannot be repaired
For when it is broken
They claim a piece of your heart
Holding it high
As if they had won
Was this their goal all along?
Or was it simply a mistake?
They way they tore you apart
You might never know
Maybe neither will they
It could be that
Someone has led them astray
Whatever may be the case
The outcome is not solely yours
For they must face it too
Deep behind swollen smiles
Lies sin and incompetence
And no matter how much you cry
Those tears will only...

Short stories #3
Those tears you cry wont absolve you of your sin, they will only leave you feeling broken within
Will a goal heal you?
Will it pull you from that hole?
Will it fix your soul?
My mind often draws to a blank
Loosing thoughts I had wished to bank
Now they are no longer my thoughts
When a thought is lost
Does it go to another?
Is it lost forever?
The thoughts your brain often impose
Force all happiness to depose
Sorrow has won my heart
My heart is now beating
Only each beat is in pain
Each...

Adrift
Both arms wrapped around it
Struggling to fight
I quickly admit
I wont make it through the night
The water in the dark
Is concealing my struggle
The driftwood, with its loosening bark
I continue to snuggle
Minutes turn to hours
As hours turn to years
The situations greatest power
Is provoking my own fears
The water continually unbinding my grip
As I think I've found the shore
But my fingers start to slip
Now I'll drown for sure
My body growing tighter
Here we go again
Waves...
Struggling to fight

No surrender
When you allow yourself to succumb to temptation
You sign your own abdication
So why not give yourself acclimation
By refusing to relinquish your power
Through defenestration
You sign your own abdication
So why not give yourself acclimation
By refusing to relinquish your power
Through defenestration

The heart still pumps
Am I better today then I was yesterday?
Am I better now than before?
Physically I am strained
Mentally I have been worn thin
Emotionally I am as rigid as stone
I now feel so alone
Better or not
I am alive
Am I better now than before?
Physically I am strained
Mentally I have been worn thin
Emotionally I am as rigid as stone
I now feel so alone
Better or not
I am alive

Short stories #3
Trillions of hours
Billions of miles
I would wait forever
Just to walk with you a while
The secrets that you hide
You keep hidden deep inside
As if someone who really tried
Could open your heart, if they really pried
While we can describe what our eyes may see
And we can theorize what may be
The future is not meant for us to see
It's hard to continue going
When you have lost half of your heart
Imagination racing
You are never really apart
While you may no longer talk
Your...

Insomnia
Sometimes the pain inside my head,
Instructs me I would be better off if I were dead.
The constant apprehension,
Never ceasing for a brief suspension.
There is only so much one mind can construe, before you feel as though you must eschew from thought.
An over clocked brain,
Forced into a constrained state.
One locked in chain.
Forcing the host to articulate words from morbid plot.
Forcing the soul to copulate,
With the inner most demons that ones mind can create.
Slowly turning morbid thoughts,

My hanging
You left my heart dangling
in the air from a string
But If I had some rope
i would be there hanging
And that would be a lesser thing
To die a death is to be released from pain
The rise and fall of my chest
resembling the highs and lows of my heart
Having a broken heart is to feel it tear
over and over again
Every beat slowly expanding
the new and old torn parts
I took my shot at romance
Trying to bring an end to my sorrow
Is the pain worth the chance?
It...

Ignorant happy life
Ignorance is bliss
No deception hidden in the mist
No thoughts to leave you pissed
No one to twist your wrists
Opportunities may be missed
Least no bad thoughts lie like cysts
No deception hidden in the mist
No thoughts to leave you pissed
No one to twist your wrists
Opportunities may be missed
Least no bad thoughts lie like cysts

Hard work
You work until your hands become blistered
You work your blisters until they form calluses
You work until your calluses rip open
Working until your hands are stripped of their flesh
You wear down your bones
Slowly grinding them into dust
Then and only then
You may rest
You work your blisters until they form calluses
You work until your calluses rip open
Working until your hands are stripped of their flesh
You wear down your bones
Slowly grinding them into dust
Then and only then
You may rest

Forbidden frutta
There is yet another
Whom I feel for like a mother
Her beauty so unique
Causing myself to bespeak
I want her in my life
To end my mental strife
My interest in her grows deeper
Alas
She has a keeper
So for now I wait my turn
But for her
My heart does yearn
Whom I feel for like a mother
Her beauty so unique
Causing myself to bespeak
I want her in my life
To end my mental strife
My interest in her grows deeper
Alas
She has a keeper
So for now I wait my turn
But for her
My heart does yearn
