Remember when.
Once a inquisitive mind
Now dead inside
Where the fire once lit
Is a awful grey pit.
Such a inquisitive soul
The passion has gone
It's a bottomless hole
When the fire once shone.
Now a aching body
But so young and frail
The drink took its toll
yellow and pail
Now dead inside
Where the fire once lit
Is a awful grey pit.
Such a inquisitive soul
The passion has gone
It's a bottomless hole
When the fire once shone.
Now a aching body
But so young and frail
The drink took its toll
yellow and pail

Untitled
Late in the afternoon
she sits with me
trapped in the corner’s shadows
a memory that comes and goes
light hair unlike my own
dark eyes that mourn the absence between us
her life a task of waiting she did not choose
The light shines through her body
her eyes fill with tears
but still she says nothing
nothing at all
She waits until the sun disappears
and then she goes
taking my heart with her
leaving a silent space no words can fill
My love
the one I’ll never have
who calls to me
so...
she sits with me
trapped in the corner’s shadows
a memory that comes and goes
light hair unlike my own
dark eyes that mourn the absence between us
her life a task of waiting she did not choose
The light shines through her body
her eyes fill with tears
but still she says nothing
nothing at all
She waits until the sun disappears
and then she goes
taking my heart with her
leaving a silent space no words can fill
My love
the one I’ll never have
who calls to me
so...

The American Dream
Like waking up from a dream,
I'm suddenly aware of my senses again.
The tips of my toes tingle as the blood returns to them...
I've been sitting in this room for hours, staring at a screen,
So engulfed in my devices
That I've become one, so it seems.
Programmed by society,
My brain is filled with empty pleasures;
Entrapped within a vicious cycle;
But a mindless maze of my endeavors.
Intoxicated by technology:
A second-hand inebriation;
Oh, the clock, it ticks the time away
As I bask in...
I'm suddenly aware of my senses again.
The tips of my toes tingle as the blood returns to them...
I've been sitting in this room for hours, staring at a screen,
So engulfed in my devices
That I've become one, so it seems.
Programmed by society,
My brain is filled with empty pleasures;
Entrapped within a vicious cycle;
But a mindless maze of my endeavors.
Intoxicated by technology:
A second-hand inebriation;
Oh, the clock, it ticks the time away
As I bask in...

Cold
I walk down this lonely road
And the grounds pavement hits me too hard
Because without your love
I can't seem to go on
Cause its cold
Without you
While the world keeps turning around
It keeps spinning too fast for me
Cold, without you
While the rain keep coming around
And turns of the seasons bring me down
Well, lately I've been pulling down the shades
For my privacy
I couldn't feel the warmth
Projecting unto me
And I remember when life was filled with intimacy
Now its cold
Cause without your love
Is...
And the grounds pavement hits me too hard
Because without your love
I can't seem to go on
Cause its cold
Without you
While the world keeps turning around
It keeps spinning too fast for me
Cold, without you
While the rain keep coming around
And turns of the seasons bring me down
Well, lately I've been pulling down the shades
For my privacy
I couldn't feel the warmth
Projecting unto me
And I remember when life was filled with intimacy
Now its cold
Cause without your love

The void
To hear a voices toll
It's pain so clearly rung
The loss of familiarity
The birth of grief and it's disparity
It's existent non existence
The basis of reality?
Does there exist, a point in time
That makes all this....
The will of the devine?
Or a step across a dividing line?
The loss of conveyance
Anothers mediative Sunnata...
In exhaustion or rarefaction
Both are minds found unknowing
And the void? Sought or not..
Is manifestation and contemplation
Is change and it's composition
Sung through nature's living...
It's pain so clearly rung
The loss of familiarity
The birth of grief and it's disparity
It's existent non existence
The basis of reality?
Does there exist, a point in time

the illogical mathematician
i’ve calculated complexities
from the maths within
it doesn’t add up
turns out
i’m a
0
let me just re-affirm this
about that lateral theory
you never understood about me
i’m inversely proportional
to the sum that betrayed me
consequently
you can’t subtract
the silence
from my existence
i need this imbalance
of dynamic instability
to fluid the mechanics of my life
just stop hypothesizing
on the illogic of my essence
this division you...

The Wine Glass
click link below for audio:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn7ozloUOq4
Lyrics:
I'm Glad the wine glass is full from where i'm at
right path I ride that
but which one did you choose?
uhh let me think now
I just can't sleep now
die in a blink now
why do you think how?
Damn, get that negativity off me
let me be at peace while I drink my morning coffee
Sifting through the sand in my time glass
shifted to a man when the time passed
looking for my friends but they're long gone
walk along a path...

Who am I?
Who am I?
I know my name
I know my date of birth
I even know my place of birth
But who am I?
Some think I'm smart
Some think I'm a retard
Some consider me strong
Some consider me weak
Some say I'm so weak, it would be too unfair to compete
Some say I'm so fast, it's like I have the worlds quickest feet
Some say they can see exactly who I am on the outside
But who am I on the inside?
I love to write, I love to draw
However neither of them i'm good at at all
I love math, I love science
Sure i can...

Dimly lit candle light
Carrying the dimly lit candle light that struggles to glint
Feel the cold biting breeze as you wander the abyss
That moves like swift hands to smother the flame quick
Nothing but this sunless void will ever exist
The life of that light being your only wish
When you try to run, remember there's no where to fix
That dimly lit candle light
Its all you know
When that light fades
In your heart it will start to snow
Your pain from many dark days are what steals it's glow
...
Feel the cold biting breeze as you wander the abyss

Its all you know

This poem is called Depression
My depression is like a metal chain that's wrapped around my ankles that has been attached to a huge concrete boulder, and someone threw me into the deepest part of the ocean, I am slowly sinking but not going anywhere. I'm just trapped trying to swim up to get a breath of air but I just can't pull the boulder with me. I can't breathe and my lungs burn and the weight of the water crushing my chest, it's unbearable and all I want is for it to end.

Invisible
I wear this cloak of invisibility that hides all of the cracks and missing pieces I have acquired along the way
I have dropped pieces and left them with people who do not deserve to have them
I have cuts and bruises mapped out across my body from battles that have shifted my personality
And I am broken from disappointment and unrequited love
Sometimes I am convinced that there is no light at the end of the tunnel, no silver lining, no play book to tell me what to do next
I let everything consume me, infect my head and change the way I think, I become overly...
