Graves Acquainted
Graves of Pain-stakin’ Hatin’
I promise to never break promises…
But, time will heal a guy like me
Wounds of doubt and clouds of ecstasy – reducing to the sea of misery – seeps into me…holes of holding-my-ground-in-fear never meant anything to you…tears of cheers and mirrored peers
Subliminally affects me…
My world is torn…
You look at me not in scorn
But in calmness, in sincerity
I can’t describe the pain I feel deep deep deep deep
I weep what I reap – tortured wars and….and….
Roads of risk have opened its pathways to me…
Can’t you see me? Can’t you sea? Sea of sanity swim in me…
Hairy horses whirl ‘round ‘n ‘round me…
Dragons of demonic pleasure…
Tempted to do wrong when I want to do what’s right
Get me my negativity out of sight
Because positivity lives in me…
Gravity won’t win this time
It’s time to shine on…my above-fantastic love, my enlivened enjoyment, my musical magic, my mesmerizing eyes of seas and forests, my brainwashed mind of dread come and go
Mad at many terrible influences that I have seen…
Where have you been? Where have you been?
Addictions hurt…addictions feed on greed
Depression burns…
In need of God’s healing…a vibrant reminder, a faithful seed
Ocean of on-going-optimism churns…
Faithless for minutes…unfolding in me childish fits
Conceal what is unreal
Steal what you can’t feel
My heart – as hard as steel
Feelin’ like a dead mule-seal…
Carnivores of clashing craziness
Made me dump into this…misery mess?
Yes, yes, yes…
I tried my best to pass God’s HARD test
Difficulty to speak up…giving up…
giving in to successless failure…
Facts of reviving hopelessness…
The harder I try, the harder I fail…
Buy a pail of my pain…drink it, isn’t it stale?
Unfail the reality of losing you…
Ice tears, a tale untold…I’m freezing cold…as hale…
Verbally abused too many times…
The clocks of time still chimes
Don’t yell at me this shame without a friendly name
