THE MIST OF PRIDE
Can you ever be pleased, mankind?
Everything we try, yet we're met with night.
We're nerds, unaware of the truth's light,
When all that pleases you lies in deceitful sight.
"Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world"
Yet we strive to fit, in a world that's flawed from birth.
Truth's told when falsehoods behold your desire's flame,
Emulate to...

A smile that holds no hidden shame
A lake in a world on fire
Waves whispering promises of a future
Where even here
I am found...

Landscape Or PortraitNo matter whichever way you are orientated,
It is all the same; true love and physical attraction expressed.
Even if a choice, it is your blank canvas meant to be painted....

RAINBOWSRainbows of love
High in the sky
Making me feel so happy and high
The colors of glory and pride

They shine so bright with all there might
We can always feel happy upon their sight.

Let's Jump InSometimes ‘jump-into-something’ has a negative connotation
But let’s revisit that saying and define it
As an affirmation
Let’s jump-into-faith
Leaving behind every opportunity for doubt to close the gate
Let’s jump-into-delight
Abandoning the things that cause us fright
Let’s jump-into-hope
Dismissing all that makes it impossible to cope
Let’s jump-into-joy
Letting go of what is meant to maim and destroy
Let's jump-into-gladness
Leaping over everything that brings...

The Preemptive NoBefore you ask
The answer is no
I will never surrender courage
For a place of defeat and storage
I will not abandon faith
For a worthless attachment to an uncertain estate
I refuse to relinquish love
For a well-fitted but counterfeit glove
I cannot renounce my goal
For a destination that ambushes my true role
I will not forsake confidence
For a river that runs...

VanityI’m a liar, a thief of honesty
my body is a temple of deceit,
my voice screams hymns of dishonor
all to feed my need for vanity
I paint my face in borrowed truths,
a mask of gold, a hollow shrine.
Each word I speak, a fragile thread,
spun to make the false divine.
But mirrors crack and colors fade,
reflections...

Two Sides of MeI have given up
So I can never say
I gave it my all
The only thing I can admit was
The weight of failures held me down
No one can convince me that
There is always a reason to keep trying
Because when the sun starts to rise
The darkness remains
I refuse to believe that
There is hope for me
So I always remember...

So you wear these thorns with prideSo you wear these thorns with pride, accepting the hand that invites you to dance,
and you spin alongside your reflection, to the music of voids that sing to your tears.
Because you know, this pain looks better on no one else but you,
you know you have always been the perfect mannequin to display it to the...

Felix Culpa
When rebellious thoughts screamed
Before the noise of life filled the quiet,
I now recall half-filled moments
Upon edge of spite
and an angry wind:
Unmoved by parental debates
This heart denied
pleas of atonement;
At eighteen, pride ruled
to cross over the night...
and walking out with a backpack,
Feisty senses burst
for sweet freedom's trail.
Feeling how ...

The Way He Seeshe doesn’t need to see the world
to understand it
the rhythm of the streets
tells him everything he needs to know
he feels the sun
not through his eyes
but in the warmth on his skin
the way the morning air shifts
when the day begins
his fingers dance across the keys
or the strings or the frets
like he’s tracing the face of something...

Arrogance
Tallest tree, wind's scorn,
Roots weak, earth's grip cannot hold,
Shattered, fallen wood.
