Not as great but just as good
When you conceive a train of thought In vain you feel that you are wrought But nothing comes from blinding light When you are searching through the night To find face that doesn't frown When you seem to always drown In a sea beyond the mind Where if one ventures one might find All there is to know and tell Even if you soul would fell The tallest tree unknown to man the building of self still it stands And visiting the darkest place Where meaning always leaves a trace You migh

Truth forgets the need for proof
When i find nothing more to say I search for someone to look my way I face the pain without regard For now the mirror is a shard I look into myself again And find no one but a friend I take creation by the hand Knowing no one will understand I feel the wrongs held in my past And now the future’s fading fast There is something in the truth That forgets the need for proof Of being torn and worn and afraid And being built of what is made Seeing darkness in my eyes Always leaves

Theres a space between the cells
There's a space between the cells There is air within us to be felt But it seems That we are kneeling Under the weight of Billions of pointless deaths Our bodies are our engines We need to save what's left We need to save What's left There is wisdom in insanity But we need to save what's left of our humanity Before we are bereft And there is no place for theft Of the only meaning we have left Lets find a land in which we can all live Together. I'm too heavy for myself I c

A donkey
A donkey Caged within the winter snow Lifelong For him forever looking up At the sky, the clouds eating heather “oh I wish I could go up there!” Sometime No matter the weather Someday Maybe there I will be together Somehow With the world that loved me never Someway Though not now Please not today. Many winters passed And though he stood there strong and fast There was no one there to see him To acknowledge his existence No one with whom to share it Nobody And the donkey di

To become empathic
Dig down Feed off the ground Find water that's sound And wriggle around Still writhing in pain Of believing in distain Which is the greatest bane To the man woman tamed Learn and develope Grasp let go When the sun rises There is always a glow When the moment sheds light And the present pasts When you sleep throught the night Which might never last Making one weep Blissful to keep A trusting leap And only through beauty Can we be free Ugly is aesthetic And lies are pathetic If

With a careful kiss
Is it true that i am in The true meaning of within When the skies are pale and plain And the air is stale and thin When i become what i am What i was will burst the dam Of my inability To be myself and always see Inside the makings of my being To the dark and unforseeing How can i feel safe When the world is so dangerous? How can i feel free when humanity is so ingenuous? Eachothers separateness empowers help And breaths the love Of the full emptiness And under the layers Of

Special but not unique
Stop fearing yourself and others Based on nothing but superficialities You should always be honest As a human being. You will always be special, But also not unique There are so many billions of others Just like you and me We all want a home We all want to love Doesn't matter what we believe lies above

Empty values
Enveloping the weird Lie many things You never know what they might bring But inside you're always one From that you may never run nothing else, really matters And there's nothing there that flatters Real truth is within When we realise That we shouldn't hide Anything inside We manifest ourselves By being free And never slaves Of society's standards They can never brand us There is a reason for us to be free There is a reason for us to be! Enveloping the weird Lie the masks o

A blanket of sorrows and a pillow of dreams
A blanket of sorrows And a pillow of dreams The water is rising And I'm sinking It seems As if the world has stopped From moving down the drain And as if there was anything I could say To help my friend And save his life again And I was sitting in the forest Thinking of all the things I could know Looking at the water flow Riding on the wings of my mind Thinking of the mountains of time To the beaches of nothing To the beaches of nothing You shouldn't Kill the songbird she'l

True elation is emancipation
when hopes do stoop low like willows in snow the shallows freeze tight with hopelessness bright conclusion is false inquiring one's pulse doesn't take any mind when the body's machinery serves to delight its owner and master the baby who writes the ethereal knowledge of being right Does it take time to move? Do you sink in the groove? of the rhythm of creation which sides with no nation and knowing everything passes and changes but still stays the same throughout so many age

Subterranean rivers of sadness
Nailed to a piece of dead rotten wood That uprooted stood Understands our cells our glands Understood the quick drowning sands We bear the seal of the unbearable We are those who do all the planning Amazingly cunning Yet always alone In our mind's so overgrown We use the curses Of the unswearable Our existence and onlyness Studying and demanding The world we live in Asking the questions Is an answer of meaning But often we end up pleading As we all do give in At the end

Truly feel, truly heal
A thoughtless Sharp incision In life unkind A flooded land When our helpless painful Eyes go blind While trying to withstand To maintain our smiling face Our very lives turn bland With too many decisions definitions An identity maze So unplanned Instead of sharing and learning together In the sun's warm rays Crying when needed Confided in and heeded Receiving Through giving Giving through receiving Basking in our nature's true haze A comfort worth believing From f

The poison of no horizon
In the light of contradiction Lies the truth of no precision The way out of the prison Is honesty And moving with your energy Climbing waves sailing mountains Fallen leaves upon the grass can Never wither in the past. The hoards of hate are always late To walk and stumble through the gate This whole world is but a play Lest your heart will go astray You will know you took the bate When you will stop, moving and creating This one life Is ever changing The mountains crumb

In the shouldnt or in the should?
In the sea or in the mire? In the lake or on the mountain? Should I look lower or higher? In the well, or in the fountain? On the streets, or in the woods? In the incomplete, or in the misunderstood? In the shouldn't or in the should? Where will I find what is good? In the couldn't or in the could? Where will I find what is good? It can be anywhere it can be anywhere With pain and sorrow With joy and elation With room to borrow Without intention There can always be Somewhere

Sometimes spirits never break
I dont want to be invented Not berated Not conflated I am in the summer breeze I am begging on my knees Never saying what im thinking Always floating when im sinking Craving success Pull dont press Heavy comfort in my breast In the simple, yet unknowing In the heart that keeps on growing You are what you want to keep Always waking in your sleep When someone else has your brain You might still be just the same In the cold and heavy winds My inversion always sings Somehow i kee

Unshown=unknown
The waves are crashing in my chest The skies are nothing but a crest If the movement catches breath There is a moment to caress Fleeting hearts and solid space Calling eyes and listening breast All together im a mess But heaven is nothing but a bless Down with others and up with the rest We are something that infests The order of the world And make it our own Using words With faithful stress To crown our throne In endless herds We are thrown Into our heads Like dying birds We
