Safe To Say
today is the day
to change my ways
and drown in the waves
where my soul wades and waits
for my sinful traits
to lay in the waste
of a bed i made
and destructively played
as PRAISE
led to a grave
beneath the haze
here in lies a maze
leading to a place far away from disgrace
seen upon my hearts face
and i won't erase a single trace
of these gifts of grace
unwrapped in lace
and a glazed phrase
that still
res...
on...
a...
tes...
teaching to raise frames with names
escaping parades of flames
spitting snakes
hissing shame
causing the shakes to set the stakes
and pray for those who prey on those completely afraid
i'm able to say it's never to late
to alter your fate and watch the rage
disengage
.
..
from the pain
pretending to paint
something great
because under the eye of hate
i willingly participate
and learn to confiscate
thoughts to differentiate
when to cremate the gain
causing me to hyperventilate
as reality begins to evaporate at a rate
that'll plague knaves with mistakes
that trace energy irate
enough to inflate
emotions bought with a rebate
and i realized before it was too late
and became the bait on the train
drawing out the insane
that wax and wane
in this race to the drain
leading the fake and lame
to the domain of mange
and unspoken shades
ablazed
in the grains of space
where forgiven chains are claims
that arrange a meeting so strange
a blending of rays at the bay of stains
halting the chase
beginning trades
on souls needing to be saved
from yesterday
