*Change
We begin to realize it all at the
Precipice of destruction.
A necessary alteration is at hand.
We must let this go.
On the darkest of nights, I trust that this pain might change me.
There is no progress without struggle.
No transcendence without obstacle.
As an ever-changing life flourishes and grows,
Stagnant ones wilt and die.
On the darkest of nights, I trust that this pain might change me.
I ponder what I could become. From these ways I must run.
This is the last time. From these ways I must run.
*Stars of Hope
I will hold on until there is no hope left.
This cornerstone is searing my hands.
Even if it kills me, I will hold on.
Even if it taunts me ‘til the break of dawn.
This is the only way I can live.
The anticipation brings misery.
However, I can’t let go.
If there are no stars of hope to light the way.
I may not see another day.
The shadow of what once was makes
this attempt at life seem futile.
As the day begins to wane,
my shade grows taller.
Even if it kills me, I will hold on.
Even if it taunts me ‘til the break of dawn.
If there are no stars of hope to light the way.
I may not see another day.
This is the only way I can live.
The anticipation brings misery.
However, I can’t let go.
No!
*Remains Relentless
Looking down on what I once was. Looking down on me.
Now I see it was all unjust. Now I can’t be set free.
No! I can’t be set free. I’ve become a slave.
Become a slave to my own defects. Lost all of my self-respect.
Destitute of all innocence. My self-love, screaming abhorrence.
Yet I still wait for absolution. With no faith, awaiting persecution.
Yet I still wait for absolution. With no faith, awaiting persecution.
Despise myself for all the pain I have wrought.
Arise, my sins. You destroy all freedom of thought.
Freedom of thought. You tear me apart.
So it remains relentless. So it remains relentless.
Become a slave to my own regrets. Lost all of my self-regard.
Lacking innocence. Replaced with corruption.
Yet I still wait for absolution. With no faith, awaiting persecution.
Yet I still wait for absolution. With no faith…
It remains relentless.
*Of Solitude
My intuition is painting with broken wrists. I am drawing an abstract blueprint of view that hold poignancy, A sketch that forever holds truth. It shall never falling to ridicule. I am forever the bark of the trees. I am forever the breeze of the sea.
Erase these thoughts that bind. Complete. A constant selflessness arise. Of solitude and inner persistence, take in this moment of catharsis to realize it is great to be alive.
These broken wrists are finally healed without pampering my wounds. This cosmic aura is more than just soothing. I am forever calm from distress. I am forever one with the rest.
Erase these thoughts that bind. Complete. A constant selflessness arise. Of solitude and inner persistence, take in this moment of catharsis to realize it is great to be alive.
Life is a journey. Death is a return to Earth.
*Lost and Deprived
Lost ones collapsed by this dystopia. Drifting far from what we knew was absolute. To find I was wrong. I was wrong all along. To become self-denying, I’m nowhere to be found.
What have I become? As of late I could not feel the warmth of the sun.
Lost ones collapsed by this dystopia. Deprived of any sense of accountability. Drifting far from me. Drifter I am. Idle I stand. Desperate I am. Idle I stand.
What have I become? As of late I could not feel the warmth of the sun. My eyes go gray deflecting all foresight away from me. Apathetic. Disconnected.
*Nomadic Refuge
Rejuvenation through disintegration… Corrupt minds and greedy hearts plague the ones above us. Assign us another assembled name. Follow the leaders dressed in misleading robes, just another statistic.
Our salvation is in the bare essentials
We begin again in the post-apocalyptic world.
Eternal refuge is beyond this social structure. Essence that we possess will never puncture. I felt the skyline pull me to restoration, simplicity is sanctuary.
Our salvation is in the bare essentials. They cant hold me down. I wont ever submit. I will always prevail.
I (I am) More than a fucking number
Our salvation is in the bare essentials
They cant hold me down. I wont ever submit. I will always prevail.
