Anxiety

Like cancer, it eats away
Can't push it down, feel the fray.
Heart pounding and racing
Akin, to never endless chasing.
Lack of air, can't catch my breath
Agony that feels so close to death.
Plethora of fuel from every direction
Souls destruction, it's simple intention.
Eroding all else away, 
Succeeding, itself all that's left to stay.

Hiding In Plain Sight

I hide away in plain sight, 
Deep in the daydreams of my mind. 
Delusions and dreams that make me feel, 
Content, peaceful as if they are real.
Reality however, always brings me back in the end, 
To hopeless and emptiness, a never-ending trend.

I hide away in plain sight, 
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Wishing, praying to get lost in the fold,
To stay here, pretend, to never lose that hold. 
But life is my own personal demon I can't escape,
No matter how I try sadness is my only fate. 

I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Until I wake up and realize its all unreal,
Reality always wins and I will never heal.
The parts of me that have cracked and broken,
My life ensures I will live with them and they will never be stolen.

I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
Without it I would lose everything about me, 
What I wouldn't give to run off here and flee.
But still I come crashing down,
No matter what, my reality will always bear the crown.

I hide away in plain sight,
Deep in the daydreams of my mind.
This is no longer my haven and place of peace,
Riddled with nightmares, unimaginable grief.
No longer is there a place to run and hide,
The desire has burned away to even try.

Solitary Confinement

Thoughts running rampant
Memories chasing through,
Dreary and Lonely
Soul standing alone.

Basking in this solitude
Dreaming of the need,
To be a part of the whole
Seclusion is the paid toll.

Despairing concentrations
Never making sense,
Loneliness abides me
Among the world a mess.

Strength draining through
Hope flowing out,
In a crisis that I call for
Redemption is not found.

A Birthday Wish

I miss you more than words can say. I wish you were here today. The laughter and fun that 
we shared. It can never compare. You were my rock, my dad, my friend and this is one of 
the hardest times… knowing you’re so near and yet so far. I want you around to wish you 
happy birthday and sing in off key tones. I think about you every day and hold you closely 
otherwise I couldn’t make it through today.

The Act

Broken dreams 
Full of lies
How it feels here inside
This shattered heart of mine

Shriveled seeds
Never blooming
Continuously feeds
The agonizing fuming

Battered and abused
Incomplete and wholly confused
Terror filled nightmares
Even sewn back up, it tears

Simply unknown, never to grow
Like a river never allowed to flow
Stumbles and falls hitting all the knocks
Like tripping over that bed of uneven rocks

Always alone
Though you would never of known
By the facade shown
How badly the heart, the soul has torn

Eclipsed by shadows
Pretending happiness is on the surface
Like walking through beautiful flower meadows
Showing to your face only what is in front of the curtains

Hope

Life’s encompassing goal
Seeks to make the soul a whole,
In a hope to regain
What is its true frame,
Created as one
Torn apart to almost none,
It dies within the depression of time
Losing itself is its only crime,
No control that it has
Makes the loss only last,
Seemingly longer
With no way to grow stronger,
In the hope from a moment
Flies a peaceful comet,
Returns the soul
From bitter pieces
To once again a whole
A lifelong lesson it teaches.

A Remembrance of My Father

Broken tears and shattered lives
How it feels deep inside
The day I lost my father
Gone is a piece of my soul

Always thinking and dreaming of you
Continuous love through and through
What am I to do when you are not here
Showing me what to do

On that day I was not there 
The way you were for me those years
Untold suffering and woe
Shame and regret restrain me now

Putting on a façade
Abandonment from the reality
Remembering the blessed times
Deep inside my mind

Admirable man that you were
Generous, loyal, sentimental
Could never ask for any more
Always with me everywhere
Always hold you dear

Gratitude for what you did
The way you taught and raised me here
Makes me strong to hold through this
To keep you close
To Remember

No Saving Grace

Perdition is a lonely road
Travels on and on
No haven found
Hiding in the fogs of time

Purgatories gain
Has found the hearts loss
Obliterating glorious possibilities
In finding everlasting nirvana

Timeless hopes 
Engulfing a life in solitude
Lost in worthless abandonment
A savior yet to be found

Therein

Darkness engulfs the light beyond
Shadows encompass the standing dawn
Leaving dread and despair
The lifelong injury of fear

Guilt and shame lie upon
The soul that stands alone
Traipsing through the swamps of time 
Anger, sadness, worthless vines hang above the mind

Floundering feelings drowning deep
Under the sorrow with no sign of retreat
Hopefully trying to catch a glimpse 
Of a light…an end to the pain
With no sight of it
Knowing, feeling there will be no gain

My Joy

I waited for you for nine months
I waited in excitement just to touch
Your sweet innocent face
With which I fell in love
Your gentle laughter makes me realize the love of a mother
While your smiles continually come one right after the other
The happiness and joy that you bring to me
Is unlike anything I have ever felt or seen
Now that you are here I thank the Lord everyday
That he game me someone special like you
To be a mother to
