Hell
Is this hell
I can't think of any place worse than this
I am lying here alone, truly alone
No hope, no wanting for hope, no begging of pleading for a second chance
Acceptance of my failures and no remorse for the people I have hurt
A fire burns inside my soul that does not put off light
Instead it puts off darkness
All the people who have put me down, all the losses and bad memories lie Underneath the fire that is fueling my depression
Hell is not a war, cancer, a terrorist attack
No there is hope in all of those
Hell is when you give up and...

Mourning
It didn’t start when I heard the news
It didn’t start at your funeral
It didn’t even start when I realized you were gone
Those were not times for mourning because you were still with me
It started now
When I realize I have forgot about you
When I realize that there have been times when I have smiled and laughed
And you where not with me in my thoughts
I promised you I would never let go
I told people who told me to let go that I couldn’t
The mourning starts when I realize what this means
It means that you have fully died...
It didn’t start at your funeral
It didn’t even start when I realized you were gone
Those were not times for mourning because you were still with me
It started now
When I realize I have forgot about you
When I realize that there have been times when I have smiled and laughed
And you where not with me in my thoughts
I promised you I would never let go
I told people who told me to let go that I couldn’t
The mourning starts when I realize what this means
It means that you have fully died...

The mortal’s prayer to the Goddess
You are a goddess among us mere mortals
I truly believe that the pain of me not knowing of your existence
Would be less than the torture you put me through every day
The torture that will burn my heart every day for as long as I live
For one no longer gazes at the stars the same way
After they have seen the moon
Now even the brightest and best star that presents itself to me
Is nothing compared to the moon that taunts me every day with its flawlessness
And that is your curse
I truly believe that the pain of me not knowing of your existence
Would be less than the torture you put me through every day
The torture that will burn my heart every day for as long as I live
For one no longer gazes at the stars the same way
After they have seen the moon
Now even the brightest and best star that presents itself to me
Is nothing compared to the moon that taunts me every day with its flawlessness
And that is your curse

The gate
I have traveled so far
Gone through so many challenges
Brought to this mysterious place
Of which I do not know what lies in side
I was so strongly pulled
by the unparalleled forces of this place
I can feel it's warmth and acceptance
I am not afraid of what's inside
I am ready to accept what has been pulling me here
Then, like always the darkness engulfs me
I am pulled away by a stronger force
I wake up sad, almost crying
I do not remember what it was truly like
I just remember the happiness I felt there
And a dark shadow is...

Sleep
I am tired and want to go to bed
But I am too afraid of what will happen
I have no control of what I will discover
Only in sleep is the full truth revealed
Only then do I realize how badly I have failed
Only then I cannot lie to my self
Only then I am truly scared
But only then after the truths have been revealed
I am truly comfortable
I am truly happy and don't want to go back to the real world
Then like all good things do
It ends
I wake up to this fake light, and forced to live through this true darkness
Left to wait again for...

Time
Time is the only equalizer of life
Not money, fame, or power
Time has no emotions and follows only one rule
It is constant
Nothing can affect it
It neither goes faster or slower
Nothing causes more destruction than time
Time makes the few good parts of life go by quickly
And makes the too often bad parts slowly torture us
The only way to escape time
Is when time has taken its toll on the body
And one seizes to exists
But even then have we beaten time
Or has time beaten us
Not money, fame, or power
Time has no emotions and follows only one rule
It is constant
Nothing can affect it
It neither goes faster or slower
Nothing causes more destruction than time
Time makes the few good parts of life go by quickly
And makes the too often bad parts slowly torture us
The only way to escape time
Is when time has taken its toll on the body
And one seizes to exists
But even then have we beaten time
Or has time beaten us
