your essence gone
all that’s left behind
lingering aroma

begging for pain
staring at that blank page
for hours on end
trying really hard to find
worthy use for the parchment
where have all the words gone
why has the ink dried
used to fill both sides easy
it’s hard now to finish a side
maybe it’s this feeling i have
all the pain seems torched
how do i write when i’m happy
who am i if i’m not scorched
quatrain
a constant struggle to survive
the daily curveballs of life
a fluttering stomach, uneasy mind
leaving all comforts behind
where, why?
existence lies
in belief
sometimes reality
is a lie
i am everywhere
i am nowhere
life lies
in action
a flatline
is a lie
i am dead
i am alive
a song
a song heard within
humming away anxious soul
as peace finds itself
with mind in control
can’t seem to place though
the tune stuck inside
was it something i heard
or did it in my heart reside
my fears melted away forever
i’m ready for the raven
humming away my song
it’ll feel i’m bound to heaven
striving for danger
why should i be satisfied
with mediocrity
why should i stop dreaming
of triumph
why should i distance myself
from risks
why should i give in to life
of security
my determination is who i am
fuck adequacy
my dreams are what drive me
fuck nightmares
my adventures are what excite me
fuck distress
my treacherous path is silk to me
fuck safety
real freedom
dreams make for a wonderful life
for perfection is impeccable
and thoughts, limitless
but life outside closed eyelids
is a life with real stakes
worth fighting, tireless
at what cost
to render useless a life
but for a cause
is it justified?
the lives left behind
helpless and broken
to be crucified?
and the cause stands
losing another soul
with hope paralyzed
getting on with life
forgetting to learn
from mistakes unrealized
just listen
why is it that what i say
and what you hear
is always out of sync
my truths are your lies
your darkness for my light
wouldn’t it make you think
and yet i stand here
resolute and alone
taking the road high
and there you are
always with a reason
to say goodbye
