Yearn (Tame)
Yearn for me
As I want you to
My breath staggers
As you walk on by
You bring me so low
Don’t you know
Heaven starts in your bed
Hell is when you can’t leave my head
My heart beats only when you’re around
My world stops when you’re nowhere to be found
Pull me into your eternal embrace
Let me take a closer look at your face
Heaven was made for me and you
Alone together a place for two
Hold me when I’m cold
Bring me to a happy ending
Stay with me until we’re old
Cover me in your bodily warmth ...
As I want you to
My breath staggers
As you walk on by
You bring me so low
Don’t you know
Heaven starts in your bed
Hell is when you can’t leave my head
My heart beats only when you’re around
My world stops when you’re nowhere to be found
Pull me into your eternal embrace
Let me take a closer look at your face
Heaven was made for me and you
Alone together a place for two
Hold me when I’m cold
Bring me to a happy ending
Stay with me until we’re old
Cover me in your bodily warmth ...

Fragile Soul
meld me in your kiln
I wish to become whole
they can craft with clay
but can they craft a soul
watching from below I see
the others in their transcendence
only smiles they're beautiful
lost in their total resplendence
I finally will like me
upon the high shelf below I see
someone like myself peering up at me
unknowing of the future to be
fired into a ceramic prison
please why won't you stop and just listen
don't go you'll feel regret beyond reason
another imitation
a smile no longer sincere ...

Inner Monologue
Sadly my thoughts wither away
As the noise inside booms loudly
A cloud of doom looms above me
My ideas muddled so abruptly
As the moment they arrive
It takes no time for them to die
My own voice betrays me
With every thought a battle fought
A war I can’t win a demon within
A poison I can’t bleed out
I just want a moment of silence
A request not of greed but of need
Many nights I stayed awake
Drunk off insomnia
So I may think no longer
And then when I finally sleep
I awake the next day
To the voice of...
As the noise inside booms loudly
A cloud of doom looms above me
My ideas muddled so abruptly
As the moment they arrive
It takes no time for them to die
My own voice betrays me
With every thought a battle fought
A war I can’t win a demon within
A poison I can’t bleed out
I just want a moment of silence
A request not of greed but of need
Many nights I stayed awake
Drunk off insomnia
So I may think no longer
And then when I finally sleep
I awake the next day
To the voice of...

Broken Record
Got a confession
How I’m lost in life
How I never got a hold on my depression
How i’ve fallen off the horse and lost it
I can’t take this endless hopelessness
An itch I cannot scratch no remedy
How my reflection sickens me
I’ve been trying not to show how I feel like dying
I feel like a cog in some machine
Except if I rusted to a stop you’d go on without me
Someone who adds nothing with no reason to be
It just feels like one big tragedy
How I’m lost in life
How I never got a hold on my depression
How i’ve fallen off the horse and lost it
I can’t take this endless hopelessness
An itch I cannot scratch no remedy
How my reflection sickens me
I’ve been trying not to show how I feel like dying
I feel like a cog in some machine
Except if I rusted to a stop you’d go on without me
Someone who adds nothing with no reason to be
It just feels like one big tragedy

Seeking Beauty
Eyes deep hazel
Peering into mine
A mesh of roots
Rings of wisdom
Aged like wine
Tender soul
Nestled within
And a resolve
Sturdy like oak
Pupils black like death
And sprouting forth into iris
Earthly tendrils of life
Lonely as a willow seems
Yet lies deeper still
The apple of the eye
Shines brighter than any sun
A life lived stored in a single blink
Beauty lies in the eyes
Peering into mine
A mesh of roots
Rings of wisdom
Aged like wine
Tender soul
Nestled within
And a resolve
Sturdy like oak
Pupils black like death
And sprouting forth into iris
Earthly tendrils of life
Lonely as a willow seems
Yet lies deeper still
The apple of the eye
Shines brighter than any sun
A life lived stored in a single blink
Beauty lies in the eyes

Shine Through
See that light?
there through the cracks
the sun may be setting
but in the darkness here
that bit of light is blinding
you can close your eyes
and yet the light seeps through
you speak of despair
but deep down it shines through
I can see the light in your flaws
the smile you try so hard to hide
the moments of joy when you forget to lie
at some point you really fooled yourself
when was it ever cool to be depressed?
put your façade at rest we want the real you
care to allow that light to shine on through?

The Tragedy of Apathy
Everyday feels the same
Every right leaves with nothing left
The hues these days are a distant gray
It’s as if the colors in my life walked away
A lukewarm feeling but It’s something
I’ll grasp at it until as if like a dream
I forget the need to remember
It all ends up room temperature
I can’t take it anymore
Life has its ups and downs for a reason
Even the weather has its many seasons
So why is it that I cannot feel it anymore
The it of life the it of living
This sensory deprivation pool of an existence
I long for...

Enter Nirvana
Breathe in the moment
exhale exhaustion
follow the movement
and grasp ascension
One step at a time
there's no rush no worry
higher and higher we climb
no deadline no need to scurry
all is well you are doing just fine
at the top you'll find a breath taking view
release your 'self' to tranquil nirvana
abandon all worries be born anew
be cleansed of any and all stigmata
transcend all that's unbecoming of you
now it's time we began to descend
retreat back to our existence
allow the soul time to mend ...

I Still Care
Know that in my isolation
I think of you all quite often
hoping you all feel the same
with every single missed call
the guilt of seeing your name
this depression will not subside
Its eating me from the inside
the words may be absent
but the thought was there
when it seems I don't care
please know it's not true
when you turn to go somewhere
I just hope you knew
that I wished the best for you
almost impossible to get past
this feeling I didn't want to last
and I'm not sure when this all began ...

Distraction
I'll play some game
just to get lost in
doesn't matter if I lose or win
grab a book to grab my attention
to ease my subconsciousness into suspension
all this stress all this tension
all these underlying lessons
I never even enrolled in
information known to soon be lost
I wouldn't have come had I known the cost
shoulders rounded to pass the responsibility
all these things I never wanted
it all feels shoved onto me
every road given I make a wrong turn
another thing thrown onto the pile of concerns
just another unwanted...

Feathers
Falling feathers
Lightly grasp the breeze
Thrown around mesmerizing
Falling lullaby gentle gone
From afar I feel
A ravenous rise in pressure
A tornado of emotions
Turning feathers to razors
Tearing and slicing
Cutting me to pieces
My everything inside out
Nothing hidden all to view
I’m the me you never knew
The one I wouldn’t show
And as I look at you
I open my eyes
Awoken from slumber
In a room void of you
A fan for white noise
Feathered pillows for comfort
A dream again
What could have...
Lightly grasp the breeze
Thrown around mesmerizing
Falling lullaby gentle gone
From afar I feel
A ravenous rise in pressure
A tornado of emotions
Turning feathers to razors
Tearing and slicing
Cutting me to pieces

Nothing hidden all to view
I’m the me you never knew
The one I wouldn’t show
And as I look at you
I open my eyes
Awoken from slumber
In a room void of you
A fan for white noise
Feathered pillows for comfort
A dream again
