Decisions

Uncharted Course

Folder: 
Soul Poetry

Did someone speak out my name?

I heard a sound of nothing,

yet whispers of beckoning

propel me forward.



I feel like I am blindly being led,

to glimpses of unsightly scenes,

yet my eyes take in,

all that surrounds me.



I'm mentally marking places,

so finding my way back will be simple,

even though, right now,

I'm lost.



A maze of confusion

points towards the direction

of a backwards one-way street-

and foolishly, I follow.



Street signs bent and twisted

give no inkling of where this is,

and even less,

of where it goes.



Had I breadcrumbs,

I'd drop them behind each step,

an indication of the hunger

that drives me onward.



But in such a starving state,

I crave the banquet

that may be ahead,

but may too, be already consumed.



So halfway there,

between now and forever,

I turn back, too afraid to tread,

where my feet have never touched.

Miserioux

Folder: 
The Long Night

This miserioux town

Is exactly what it seems

A void to swallow down

All our hopes and dreams



From corner to corner

As the lights are getting dim

Shards of this reality

Begin to dissipate again



So many nameless faces

Gathered on the streets

Lost inside their worlds

That only they can see



Between these moments

And the past I'm forced to see

I know there'll come a day

For you to rescue me



Take me to the city

Where nothing is at all

Take me to the world

Where angels dare not fall



Take me to the fires

That can burn life in me

Take me to your arms

That's where I want to be



As the sun sets grimly

Upon the souls of the lost

In this one horse town

That the world has forgot



Smiling faces in the dark

When they listen to the scene

Bound inside their own minds

Lost within their dreams



With the death of sorrow

In their faint white eyes

This miserioux continues

To distort them into lies



Another long day

That I'm forced to see

These never-ending walls

That block you from me



Take me to the city

Where nothing is at all

Take me to the world

Where angels dare not fall



Take me to the fires

That can burn life in me

Take me to your arms

That's where I want to be



Calling out to the sky

For their eyes to open wide

But the truth it is denied

As they live inside their lies



I can see the hurt

And I can feel the pain

But their strong facades

I just can not break



And so mine I hide

Not to add to it all

So inside my mind

I feel myself slowly fall



Becoming one of them

I'm lost to this town

But there's a part of me

That you have found



Take me to the city

Where nothing is at all

Take me to the world

Where angels dare not fall

Close your eyes

Take a deep breath

Pray for a moment

This will be the last day

That you haveto

Hope for someone

to save the day

hope for someone

to say thats that

to start over

and be happy again

Freedom

Folder: 
Dark Poetry

Accept me for who I am

or leave me where I stand.

This open wound will heal today.

I’ll leave you where you lay.

Leave me here, a bloody mess

you clean up the rest.

Take your gold, your ring, your kiss.

I’ll take with me this bliss.

Accept my thanks for what you gave

or leave it in the grave.

This hole in the ground is yours and mine.

I’ll leave with what I find.

Leave our love, a tangled heap

you have sown– now reap.

Take your crop, what you create.

I’ll take with me your hate.

Accept it now, the simple facts

or leave with what you lack.

This empty place inside your heart.

I’ll leave you torn apart.

Leave right now without a trace

you handle the mirror’s face.

Take your betrayal– let it be done.

I’ll take with me this freedom.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I hate you.

The Journey



   We all look to end up in a place

somewhere were we feel we belong

somewhere were people will like us

often times this place is but a myth



A myth that many of us go through life

endlessly trying to reach

some tend to feel it will be found through knowledge

4 years and you are free

4 years and you can dream

for many though these 4 years are nothing more

than part of the journey

a journey that goes far beyond accelades and praise

these years are not for purposes of gaining status

Most believe it is to find out the puzzle of their lives



The puzzle often times does not lead to a completion

It is within the struggle of self, others and society

that this puzzle is to be solved

there is no time limit on this journey

for it is different for everyone

the key is to follow along the trails and enjoy

For getting somewhere is not as important as the travel

A travel that for some makes life worth living

Safely Drowning

Folder: 
Depressed Poetry

Inside my soul is bleeding,

tears stream down my face.

I'm so incredibly lost,

and yet I still feel.



There is this amazing love,

burning deep inside my soul.

These dreams that fill

my every night with ease.



But there is also this toture,

that leaves my heart broken.

Also these memories inside,

that bring out my tears.



But again this feeling,

that could be nothing but love.

It puts the pieces back together

everytime I crumble.



Still ripping me apart.



Still keeping me together.



Drowning my broken soul.



Saving my life.

Decision

Folder: 
Family

A life spent in loneliness,

A family that didn’t care.

Endless nights spent in pain,

Living with people who couldn’t share.



Eight years of my life I spent,

Void of feeling and love.

I spent too many nights on my knees,

Praying to those above.



My prayers finally answered,

As I quietly worked away my time.

A man and woman walked through the door,

Finally a family I could call mine.



Ten years have passed,

Since that day has past.

The love of my family is always with me,

A love that will always last.



I’m awaiting my life to move forward,

A new chapter to begin.

I’ll change things all around,

Both outside and within!



Life throws you through spirals,

When new things come around.

When the question presents itself,

Which choice will be found?



I have decisions to make,

Which choice is the wrong one.

If I choose Yes,

Will my life till now be wrong?



The decision to make is mine alone,

I soon will make my choice.

I will give my answer proudly,

Declared in my own voice.



I will not feel remorse,

For a decision I have made.

The family I have now,

Is something I will never trade.

The Race

I stand here looking out at my future

I am frozen

Unable to move from this spot

All of my friends are rushing by

I see their brilliant smiles

I hear their twinkling laughter

My heart skips a beat

"What if I fail?" I ask myself

My fear paralyzes me

I can't breathe

Tears start to run down my cheeks

Yet no one else sees this

They keep on running, smiling, laughing.

Why can't I be like them?

Why do I freeze?

I want to yell "Stop!"

"Help me! Wait for me!"

Now they are almost gone

I stand alone

Sobbing

Wishing I had found the courage to run

Wondering if I ever will

Come Back

She gives a grin, a smile, a dimple in her cheek when she's decieved

Back in your world, I gotta pick a part lies

Oh GOD I hope my heart dies

Staring in your dark eyes, I ... I wouldn't have believed



Tears could go on for days, I just don't know how you're still around here

No one stonger to help me out of here, I gotta feeling i'm putting down near

Where your eyes can hear



Simple words to say, she's out on a limb on her way

No sorry from her; no pretending to stay



Before the last time passes, I want to yell come back

And wipe the black mascara off her eye lashes

But it just keeps running away



Since you've found your love, after your heart belonged to some

Don't set your eyes back on me

After a while i'll close my brown eyes

And in the outcome i'll find a different way to see



He hurt her heart before, having it as hard as she had

This time is pretty bad staring at her walking out the back door

And I just can't go on calling this life any more



She said just let me leave

Before you see the tears show you I'm defenseless to your face.

I just can't believe

I called this life for so many days

It all doesn't seem so right like that

But her bags are packed... and...

Before the last time passes, I want to yell come back

And wipe the black mascara off her eye lashes

But it just keeps running away
