You don’t know how I feel inside I rather just commit suicide This is how I fill day and night Also being dead and out of sight. People would be glad when I go bye-bye They won’t even have a tear in their eye. My life has always been in the dark; Because my life and me won’t even spark. I always been living in the darkness. Cause I live my life being in the loneliness. People really don’t realize. until they look into my known eyes. You could see the suffering pain within me.

LEAP YEARS ILLUSION
Clarity Not constant Sanity fleeting Both invade, momentarily Disrupting chaos Attempt stokehold of balance, Dangles off cliffs Exults in our commitment to higher levels, Persuaded by fears mediocrity, Flatters ourselves Depriving death at his door, Laughs again Harbors and it’s reflection of nothing Mirror within the stranger, That is our self, To all, know one Fear’s fully reflection a bounds, Leaves one lonely A search of a single sale, making no commitments Leaving only the legacy of intangibles Fear the touch “Obedience” … [Read more...] about LEAP YEARS ILLUSION
“The FALL OF THE TIN SOLDIERS”
The G’s have spoken, A truce has been broken, Now here we are. Tin Soldiers sent off to war... The feeling of total defeat, now lay at our feet, as we now ponder, giving into wonder, o what now our fate will meet.... The smell of gas, that always last. still lingers in the air it burns your nose, gets in your clothes, a scent harsh to bare.... Shattered glass, broken in rash, all did in haste, once again a tribute to this unthinkable waste... Looking through the bars, you’ll see the scars, of all the Tin Soldiers that … [Read more...] about “The FALL OF THE TIN SOLDIERS”
Flowers for Tatiana
I pray for you, that you fell better soon; The world needs back that dragon-taming smile. I see you there, with your tissues all strewn, Though I haven’t seen you in quite a while. You’re in my thought, that’s what I mean. Like when we camped and wished upon the stars. Here with me, together we’ll see this through, Even though for new I’m struck behind bars. You’re in my heart, that’s what I mean, Good times, pizza cheese sliding off in goops, Those eyes of yours. Glowing so amazing. So much energy, dancing, shooting hoops,] If not … [Read more...] about Flowers for Tatiana
