The Moral of Today Is

The Moral of today is 
Listening to the words 
Of some other nightmare 
Watching and waiting for the next cue

Understanding, and reaching 
In and beyond the veil of the flesh 
And ink on paper 

Bringing in the ultimate sacrifice 
Knowing that in the end 
Its all about you

So it seems to cliche 
And 
A little to ironic

How someone you have never met 
Could possibly know so much about you 
Your life, your mind, your family 

For the darkest of secrets 
Often lie undisclosed and unresolve 
But yet 

Here it is and all you did
\as search a title 
and load it 

And in that title 
In the name 
In the body 

You have found salvation
Just a little bit of it 
And you know not how 

Who or why 
This became or will become 
And where 
Did it come from 

Cause hidden in the mind 
The things you never say 
Someswhere along the lines 

Thoughts became relative 
And relatable,
In Regards they almost make sense 

Almost seem logical 
Almost appear normal 
Almost become 

As they lay out on the table 
You cant help but to think 
How they were pulled 
Outside the vault 
Of things you wont ever say 
Dont ever want to think again 

But they repeat
As if on an auto setting 
And every time you hear it 

You dissapear into the void 
Of words unsaid 
Things unthought 

And It all starts over again 
As 
The Moral of today

Unreleased

So today im sitting here 
Brooding, Pondering 
about things and words 

I sit in a dimly lit room and wonder
Why is it so dark in here
and why so light outside?

Cause darkness seems to follow me 
And in a way im embracing the isolation that comes along with it.

See yesterday sat painted for the first time in a long time 
in the same dimly lit room
Today only to discover that 

what i had painted 
Looked like a rainbow 
and i didn't even know it 

Im thinking about things that i know are fact 

A few of which are.

Without dark there would be no light 
and in the end every color in the world eventually turns to black.

So now im wondering,
Is it bad to sit alone 
Here, In my dimly lit room?

Or is it a natural progression of things
And maybe, Just maybe the darkness inside of all of us 
Is really what makes the light 


For there is beauty in the breakdown

Mental Bondage

So here it is 
that game 
the same old game 
they said, she said , I said 
that is the game

Players enter blindly 
without knowing 
that they cannot win 

some dont know that 
they are playing 
against 
your hand of trumps

We become your puppets 

Mentally bound

Propaganda Personified 
I look to my card in hand 
It looks like a game show board 

the wheel of fortune 
the game now turns 
You no longerr are in control

the puppet becomes the puppetier 

Taking away the thing you need most 
Control 
Mental Bondage 

Its your turn

4:30 Letters To Mom

Words of vain 
and vanity 
liks its a choice 
like you can decide 

when and where or why to do your job 

I guess its me 
and maybe thas okay 
maybe 

every hour is inconsiquential or juat unimportant 

Invisibility cloaks me
makes me safe 
from your attack 
but 

It doesnt make me immune 
every sylable hangs
over my head like an omen 
telling me im insignificant 

and im not sure but 

the more away i am
the eaier it is for you 
to hurt me  

you just don't want to try 
you just want to look away 

keep looking

Mirror Mirror

Pictures on the wall 
Both sexes 
The human body in all its glory 
His, Hers< something to envy 
Something 
To look at, exebitionism 
Vengence, Shes Broken, Hes buff 
Naked and pulsing 
going togeather Like two and two to four 
I keep trying to break the spell

Dirty Laundry

Every time you think your being good
You think you've done well 
Every time you think forgivness is at hand 
You go and do something 
That intentially unintentially
Demotes every effort to make things right 

Keep airing your Dirty laundry

Curious

Hours Slip, Days trip 
faces blurred 
into a mysterious 
Boredom induced High 

Acidic and curious 
as to who she really is 
And whats hiding in her eyes

And the mania
Her ultimate low 
When she laughs 
the silence in her soul

Emptiness well hidden
In glee and Love 
But she needs someone

Why does she smile 
with thick black
Lining the portal of her soul

Moving bodies that live 
the same faceless lie 
that she does 
and she watches curious too

Queen of the Underground

Hi my old friends
Darkened by shadows holding the cup
Of tears of the man who called
Silently slowly, Misunderstanding 

Methodes and rhythm 
to reason and conspiracies 

Finding some way to allow me to be 
The queen of the Underground
Because power is fear
Fear is flight 
and this thing you cannot undo forever 

And for this scar you put an answer
Not to blame anyone
Because it hurts less for you 
That way 
Its not quite real


Just unlike 
the way you saved yourself from the flame 
and threw me into it 
Not knowing that it might come back to you 
Three, five, ten fold 

So watching from a distance 
and communicating through mixed messages because your alone 
and this time 
You went to far 
For the sake of your own demise 

The shadow man told me Im bad
the shadow man told  Me I could be good 

The shadow man writes words about me that I cannot fathom

Hello old friend does this make any sense to you?
