When I was young
When I was young
and life was easy,
bed decreed at eight,
sparrows in the eaves,
blackbirds on the gable.
When I was young
and life was easy.
and life was easy,
bed decreed at eight,
sparrows in the eaves,
blackbirds on the gable.
When I was young
and life was easy.

Spectre
Why am I so dismissible?
Maybe I’m just invisible?
Insignificant,
Illegitimate,
Doomed to remain miserable.
Maybe I’m just invisible?
Insignificant,
Illegitimate,
Doomed to remain miserable.

Hopes
Electrified
scrapping
what’s dead
inside
Removing
another
peace
of me
Hopes
of being
diseased
free
Taking
leaps
of faith

ashamed

Alone
Echoing plains
Cracked earth
Cloudless sun
Shriveled tree
Stiff limbs
Alone
Plump clouds
Fickle rain
Far off
Cracked earth
Cloudless sun
Shriveled tree
Stiff limbs
Alone
Plump clouds
Fickle rain
Far off

Barrier
The more I want
The thicker it gets
This tug-of war
Is suffocating my breath
The more I need
The higher it grows
This walls are gonna end up
Swallowing Me whole
The thicker it gets
This tug-of war
Is suffocating my breath
The more I need
The higher it grows
This walls are gonna end up
Swallowing Me whole

Anger Slowly Fades
Anger slowly fades,
Into a sea of dark depression.
Stealing my breath and my sanity.
Till nothing of me is left.
Into a sea of dark depression.
Stealing my breath and my sanity.
Till nothing of me is left.

To Be Embraced
As the truth
seeped from me
leaking
pain and pleasures
I found
my isolation
has led me
to other treasures.

The Liar
Lying letters
Form around you
Flying like insects
Attracted to death
They smell the rot
You disfigure
Slowly decay
With every lie
Told every day.
Form around you
Flying like insects
Attracted to death
They smell the rot
