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...

Let's Jump In
Sometimes ‘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 No
Before 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...

Vanity
I’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 Me
I 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...

Premium Member So you wear these thorns with pride
So 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...

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 Sees
he 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...
