"productive member of society"
I used to believe.... but now I just know; the juice ain't worth the squeeze in these series of shows; society is the industry with different plateaus; the moment your're conceived you don't own your soul
you yearn to feel free- in many of ways; there's a leash for each being- the collar reads slave.... a slave to your body- a slave to your mind- a slave to a system that eats you alive....
it's ALL an illusion- only ends up one way- you're a sacrificed battery- til your flesh hits the grave....

mind, body, soul....
when the shift isn't shifting, one's pouring brown liquid; one's soul and one's body hold different positions
one's body has a wishlist; one's soul wants to split this, ongoing carousell ride of wants and needs....
society projects, subjects, and torments....
one's soul wants an "out of body" experience that's "permanent".... my soul fucking hates it here....
this isn't for me; I'm just biding my time.... just getting more distant the longer i "survive...."

rewrite
you are allowed to rewrite
your story
no matter how sad, desperate
or wounded that story is now
there is nothing stopping you
expect your own imagination,
lack of free will and self
determination
the pages are blank once
more
history is
history
stay the victim if you
wish
but life really doesn't
keep accounts of
such
live with ghost in your
head if you
must
but remember
the sun has survived
millions of
years
...

Taking A Stance
You held the pad lock,
With a key gripped in your fist,
You don’t want to stop but,
I demand you unbind my wrists.
I may’ve been born into your care,
You may think you dictate my future,
Yet none of this is fair,
To that I am sure.
I am a warrior,
A fighter with knowledge and strength,
You had me living in your horrors,
But soon you shall see.
So this is the anthem I will now chant,
Listen to my footsteps as they fade,
I deserve freedom,
I will no longer stay in your shade.
Sing with me, ...

Descending
I've been trying to pull myself out of this hole
The harder I try the further down I go
And I just don't know
Im trapped though
I'm so low
Every direction I pick still ends up the same
I go up and Im surrounded by blame
Down only leads me to shame
Playing a rigged game
No prize to claim
I don't want to believe this is my fate
But Im caught in a weakened state
Trying not to give in to hate
Its probably too late
Too much weight
Maybe instead I should bury myself in
Cuz there's no...

Fly high
The firefly
shines bright at night,
but her head was stiff with fright.
So when at last
she turned around,
she saw the holy light.

Free me
Life is the empty white pages of a book that is waiting for me, the ink to write into it
To tell the tales of my life's never ending journies
My story does not contain any fairy tales
No glass slippers or prince charming's kisses in sight
Only shoes worn down from walking in the soles of my troubles
I want to leave my mark on this world , like a shoe print painted in the sand
Please don't let the water from the shores wash it all away
Tornado in the wind, lift me off my feet and take me away
Blood flowing down my hands from fighting with my demons...

Hotel Tango
Equinox in a couple of days
finds me right back where I began
I 'm running laps to beat the band
as a professional wheel man
It's typically steady tonight
for an indian summer's eve
But during my Mary-go-rounds
there's this asshole I can't believe
The street, traffic and neon lights
have already replaced the sun
Of course the radio is broke
making all this that much more fun
And I'm braking laws like a fiend
getting from Point A to Point B
Texting and passing on the right
and my seat belt's loose - honestly

Alien
of sober mind-but things feel strange; what once felt "normal" now not the same-
of "sober" mind-but doubt one's sane; one's mind is but a pendulum swing-
I want to "run"-to "dissappear"- into the arms of "nature's wings";
into the soil amongst the trees- no longer "heard" -nor ever "seen"- no longer bound as "human being"- just "gone" and "free"- from life's guarantee of misery....

dopamine chase to no where.... but the grave
if you could venture round the world times three for free- what would one's perspective of reality truly be?
for me? while nothing's ever taken for granted- would have had all there was to drink and eat- but in the end....
different faces and places.... never been big on conversations.... whether sober or high- concentration feels overated.... as does this very earthly creation....
this matrix breaks something in the mind- to make one eventually hate it....nothing "feels" "real"-...

freedom and chains
Birds are a miracle because they prove to us there is a finer, simpler
state of being[,] which we may strive to attain.”—Douglas Coupland
“Man is a bird without wings and a bird is a man without sorrow.”
—Louis de Bernieres
softly feathered, fluffy bird,
yours the sweetest song i’ve heard,
how inclined your head, to look
as, perhaps, i were a book
you must struggle hard to read!
what new lessons could i teach
one whose wit i must beseech
to expand the narrowness
into which i now recess?
edify my...

Time, Again
just a while ago the world was a blur
a relentless race
as i tried to catch up to its speed
now the time came to a halt
the clock barely ticks and the days stretch out
as i get trapped between
pulling away from its strains to flee
and clinging desperately to sink in
all of a lather to step out
and when i hardly slip away
the world's a blur once again
while i finally gasp for air
only to scramble after
time, again
a relentless race
as i tried to catch up to its speed
now the time came to a halt
the clock barely ticks and the days stretch out
as i get trapped between
pulling away from its strains to flee
and clinging desperately to sink in
all of a lather to step out
and when i hardly slip away
the world's a blur once again
while i finally gasp for air
only to scramble after
time, again
