WALK

words you spoke
not your meaning I hear
inside I fear
so they make me choke

ready to run and hide
with my bags
packed to heavily
to escape from myself

ate from the tree of life
why did I not choose the tree of knowledge
to access the philosopher’s stone

the day I dread
when it all comes down
to the end
judging myself, what will I
have to say

time to become the old man
no longer willing to stray
from the path

CRAWL IN

life to breath
appearances that deceive
long the breath
longing for comfort
to crawl in

once you know
how fortunate you are
no longer long to run
from the past

consumption that consumed me
not far from pulling the trigger
close the chapter
no longer necessary
stripped the shell away

life to breathe
appaerances that deceive
long to breathe
comfort crawling in
soothing me

consumption that consumed me
comfort from the past
no longer necessary
stripped the shell away.

SENSES

my eyes were deafened by the sound,
my ears were blinded by the sight,
as I realized I was standing in heaven,
feeling it like hell.

don’t need to be reminded
that there is nothing to give,
nothing to take,
when it belongs to us all

close my eyes, so I can see
the way I’m heading in
no longer waiting for the day
that’ll never come

don’t regret a thing.

NOT THE ONE

i am not the one to mend
your broken heart.
i am not the one to feed
you life's energy.
i am not the one to show
you how to live.

just as;

you are not the one to teach
me how to love.
you are not the one to show
me how to love.
you are not the one to make
me live again.

No Not That One.

Master

Force fed, like childrentreats that become a pain no free will left to breathe

treat you like a child they need to control how long before the rise in mutiny

the master that became the slave no free will left to breathe long since the brave has gone to feed

a monkey in a cage howling how long before the rise of rage to break free of the chains

long since past, the time of the master being in control count to three

Drop dead
