A Semi-Rhythmic Collection Of Thoughts

Somewhere, I pray, there lies a place,
For souls confused, angry and tormented,
An ancient haven, made with god-like grace,
Where one can ammend failings and wrongs,
Bare their spirit and become the forgiven,
Black dirt on our wings being wiped away clean,
But until our time comes, things aren't as they seem,
When those with the power try to make us believe,
Goals and dreams they lack the capacity to achieve,
Pointing their fingers, dictating how to proceed,
Molding our minds so subtly there's never a fuss,
To follow the plan they stole to enslave us,
Our thoughts held back by what is religious,
By what is proper and 'correct', these guidelines, and rules,
Enforced by those blind to all they don't know,
Those who object are seen just as fools,
With our potential unattainable we're unable to grow,
Pompous asses damn our lives, driven by hate,
Too stuck in their ways to even begin to relate,
Most people too closed-minded to even try and debate,
Just showing anger, becoming pissed and irate,
Crying wolf before we even begin to demonstrate,
Fabricating falsities that are believed without question,
Simply because they are older, smooth with velvet rhetoric,
It's funny, though, because we take them as lessons,
Power comes with the knowledge and we know how they tick,
So go ahead, stoop to insults, threats and boasts,
Believing inside when they end up as a ghost,
That this is their right, but soon this will end,
When they realize the weakness of a mind that won't bend,
Refusing and unable to tolerate, accept and understand,
Wielding prejudices and arrogance with mind and hand,
We cannot yet fight them, so we must dodge and retreat,
To the depths of our minds, an unbreachable sanctuary,
A perfect escape to relax and breathe,
Until those who harass us pack up and leave,
Giving to us freedom and motivation to once again grow,
But despite all the hardships, we irrefutably know,
When the story is over, on the Judgement Day,
They, not those they condemn, will be seen as the fallen,
Listen to these words, as you kneel down to pray,
And hope that which is Almighty takes mercy,
As the Earth is cleansed and night turns to day,
Perhaps salvation will come for you, perhaps you're to rot,
No one alive can tell you for sure,
But it's undeniable that the way they act is blacker than black,
Imposing thoughts and beliefs, it's an attack,
More like immoral, humanly wrong,
All we can do for the souls of the ignorant,
Is hope for the change 'fore we're all gone,
Change for the better, whatever we can...

And remain forever dilligent.

Nothing To Lose

Listen, if you're gonna talk, then better bring facts
I don't post bulletins, I don't talk smack
Better think before you act
I see what you say and you better atone close
Shit's gonna hit the fan and you ain't worthy foes
I've got a steady job and you're tearing up hoes
Forget what you thought man, nobody knows
If I'm in love then you're definately joking
But wasn't that the hint for all the other dudes poking
The life into you
These years are too few
And sometimes I wish I never met you
More aces up my sleeve than you could ever aspire
Droppin' dollars on your lesbian choir
Once you start the fire, better be thinkin' higher
Because we got shit that'll lay your ass down
Pound your face into the ground
No sound in the rebound
Forever untouched, feeling the flush
When I bust I do what I must
Take it as far as you need to hit fore
And know that I'll counter herewith for sure
Beaches and blankets you've never seen before
Question what you've seen up on it
And don't get your losers to come up to it
Can't talk to me, how is that lame
Perhaps you're too lost in the game
Feeling my name, every day it's a pain
Insane is what you are, and forever will be
Feeling you is feeling me fantastically
Irrevocably the shame you're carrying
But never again will they react the same
And for your crimes I will never be blamed

Karma came and served you, what
Think about it before you screw up

3:43

I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Why don't you wait and see what's to become
Before you head out on your way
Everything stops on a dime so for fun
Why don't you just rest and play
Interim said, forget what the head
May of told yourself then, when it begins
Endless the travesty you find yourself in
The splendor of living outweighs the consequences
Of miniscule arguments in face of our defences
Instructing a purpose of which we all hold
Waiting in darkness just to be told
There's only one shot, and it's in a room without light
Why should we fight, if they're ultimately right
But think about sight
If you didn't have it, would you blunder at night
Or would you spook with fright
At every little sound as you made your path
Homeward bound to escape infinite wrath
Think about it

Release

When I can see, through the shrouded eyes
When everything is gone
I can feel the breeze upon the skies
And know that nothing is wrong
But perhaps it is me...
Maybe it's the things that I see
Are just too much for handling thee
I will fight for what is right
To sleep and to rest, and I imagine
I will fight for the gift of night
But what you can't fathom
Is a gift beyond those
Right under what you thought you saw most
Come on, give me this break
What did you take me for, I'm not quite as fake
As you perhaps thought I would be
But for all of eternity
You would never understand me
That's okay though, I'm better off here
Without a tear shed and nothing to fear

Sometimes

It's older, but one of my favorites.

Sometimes

Sometimes, things move too fast for me
I have to slow down, take some time to breathe
Gather my vision and shift my perspective
To bring things to focus, a balance that's relative
With things as they are, without grasping too far

But sometimes...

Emotions are too much for me to keep gathered
Feeling so lost, I move on unfettered
Pessimism splashed with thoughts for the better
I make some wrong moves, stay one with the groove
Can't stop me moving when I'm in the mood
And yet, it just seems to me

That sometimes...

I just care too much, when nobody seems to even give a fuck
The darkness inside, it comes for us all
Coming straight down to the difference in the fall
And how we handle our negative side
Fighting the dark with the light inside

So sometimes...

I'm not always who I wanted to be
That's not only normal, it isn't just me
And in my own way, I just wanted to say
That I'm sorry for the things that've all gone astray
So as I wait in the dark for the early morning sun
Let's reflect for a moment on the things we have done

Short #1

It's short.

Most of the time
I'm in control of my senses
But this recent find
Puts me off my defenses

I haven't opened my doors
In quite a long while
When she speaks I am floored
And her voice makes me smile

Sure, it's quite a long ways
Somewhat of a reach
But if we were counting the days
There's plenty to beseech

Don't know what's up in my mind
But to this day I can find
No other matching so meticulously
Completing me perfectedly
