Have you ever fell asleep,
But you're eyes were slightly open,
It had happened once to me,
As I watched my body frozen...
I was trapped within a glass,
That was muffling my screaming,
So the only things that pasts,
Was the image it was streaming...
I would try so hard to move,
But my body had responded,
With nothing that could prove,
That my mind was way beyond it...
So the corner's of my eyes,
Filled with shadows it committed,
To watching day pass by,
Turning hours to minutes...
Have you ever fall asleep
But your eyes had never closed
It's like living in a dream,
Just not one you would have chose...
Walking through the desert
A genre-less beast of burden
The flaming orb in the sky
A brutal master so true
She trudges with drooped head
With feet like lead
Moving involuntarily
Towards the bleak unknown
Hark! What do I see?
A great body of water
Inevitably doomed
Soles bruising Earth
In a for-ward movement
To-wards un-avoidable destruction
Eyes scanning the horizon
Doom is definitely the solution
This great body of doom
Lapping at the toes
She'd rather take the plunge
Than turn her back on it
She'd rather swim across
Than wait for her salvation....
The Egyptians are coming
This girl,
Unknown to the world,
and quiet inside her room.
Jabbering on the phone,
To her one and only.
This girl,
Unaware of the world.
Struggling to keep herself alive,
Thriving on the alcohol
The only thing keeping her stress away.
This girl,
Shut out from the world,
her body reaches the limit,
Bound to break,
Bound to die,
She waits.
Inside her room,
Jabbering to her one and only,
drinking without exsistance of the world,
not knowing her strengths nor her weakness,
until her body is beneath the surface,
and the whole world watches,
as the dirt covers her casket.
The earth so quiet and still
The wind so gentle and calm
My life ran on chances like the spin of a wheel
The drop of a tear on my palm
But tonight I walk alone
No one to console a breaking heart
A push and a shove and now we’re far apart
Broken and full of disbelief
A body so run down on grief, so be brief
Because tonight I know I walk alone
A body so crumbled
A mind so humbled
A smile that tell lies
Apologetic words are mumbled
Sorry for what? I have no clue
That monster so angry with all its crew
But guess what, im not sorry for me im sorry for you
Tonight of all nights I rather not walk alone
The sky so dark with not a star in sight
Walking…better yet running through the night
Screaming at the top of my lungs of agitation
Annoyed and ready to fight out of frustration
No one around to take the blow
It’s giving me the space to heal and grow
Tonight is the night I learn why I walk alone
by: Taneia J. Nelson
Time turns into dust
As I sit here, my hands in cuffs
Days turn into chains
As I lay hidden, full of pain
Months come and go
As I’m forced to lay low
My body feels dead
As I desperately search for a bed
Endless threats silence my ears
As I struggle to cast out all my fears
My mind has crossed to the Darkness inside
Knowing that my survival has been denied
I can not escape my wall of loneliness
For part of me has left God and His Holiness
My body is weak, my throat dry
If I had tears, I would’ve cried
I’m giving up, I can not go on
But then something new occurs at Dawn
An Angel appears at my side
With a happy ending to help build my Pride
Into the great unknown go I,
Where new adventures hide.
Bound no more to these earthy ties,
My body cast aside.
And I shall be alone no more,
My mortal prison shed.
As death descends, life is restored,
To those who once were dead.
Yet I will cry a tear for thee,
As thou dost vainly strive,
To cling to thy mortality,
Though thou art not alive.
For flesh is but a crumbling cage,
It blinds thee to the truth.
The over cautiousness of age,
The vanity of youth.
Perception bends to their command,
A solitary view,
A multitude around thee stands,
Yet there is only you.
But I, my friend, at last am free,
To look through other eyes.
For one can never truly see
Until the body dies.
So do not weep for me this day,
It's not a time to mourn.
For as my body slips away,
My spirit is reborn...
I saw a man,....
with half a Soul,
half dead,
half alive,
half wanting,
the other half consuming
the drugs of pain,
yet resistance, avoids him,..
engorging.......
the Soul, the plug of life.
The epitome of existence,
was being destroyed by,..
annoyance of life.
Desecration of the D.N.A. system!
Abuse of the vessel
that proves his existence.
His body,
Without your body,
what does the Soul
plug into?
where does the Soul go?
once the body has
been desecrated,
and left Soul less,
how does it communicate
without the body?
how can the body
communicate ................
without the Soul?
It took time to desecrate
the Soul and make it half.
it will take time to
awake the Soul, to it's
original state.
Your Soul in your hands,
your Body it's Temple.

Crushingly brutal, this wasting disease,
That it eats through me with increasing ease.
Oh, in the painful rigidity of lack luster limbs,
My mortal friend still fights, still clings,
As world passes by on the summer breeze.
Who would have thought I would suffer this young,
With a mortality so terse and highly strung.
Inside of a sickness, with it's wide open jaws,
I am gripped so tightly by it's hungry claws.
Yet I don't know how all this has begun.
Here I am fighting, again and again,
Just for the chance to feel alive once again.
Each moment of weakness, of faintness and ill,
I long for my mortal to bend to my will.
As I ask for my body to burden the strain.
So what it comes down to, my mortal and I,
My body is broken, yet no one knows why.
So, I cling to this life and it rejects my requests.
I suppose I am my mortal as mortality suggests.
But, surely I can fight. Surely I can try.
Cannot sleep here late at night
My body feels so tense and tight
My body aches from all the work
Cannot escape these pains that lurk
Put a pain pill in my head
I did it while I was in bed
Would not take my pains away
Maybe they are here to stay
Make sure that you like your work
So it is worth the pains that lurk
Or you might have some trouble sleeping
Maybe even wind up weeping
I miss you my little friends,
when will I see you again?
Sometimes I wish you were here,
other times I hope you never reappear.
Long pink pill, I take it so that I feel no pain.
Small blue pill that takes away anxiety, and I feel like I'm walking in the rain.
Round white pill that relaxes my muscles with ease.
You guys make every day seem like a cool summer breeze.
Until one day, no more Doctor and you're in a haze.
Your stomach hurts, in pain, and haven't slept for days.
Tired, cranky, throwing up and you feel like you can't take it anymore.
Hurting so intense, you think you're at Death's door.
When, oh when will I get insurance so a Doctor I can see?
I'm sick, and fatigued so bad, I don't feel like me.
I have never been addicted to anything, ever at all.
Seems like my body needs these though, so the clinic I will call.
Addiction and Dependence seem so close to the same thing.
A thin line between the two, so understanding is the lesson it brings.
I wish my body didn't depend on these strong pills,
but they do, so for now I'll have to cross these long, hard, bumpy hills.
Slowly but surly the will of the lord will exist
Let the mind run wild or the body frolic with fire
The soul will always accomplish the divine command
Death; the day of reckoning gives us rebirth pain.
Can there be joy within the separation from God?
For invisible love is beyond this body mind and soul.
I am here, but I am elsewhere
My mind, it wanders through space and time
To where? I do not even know
But I know, where ever it is, it is all mine
I dream, to go many places
In my mind, I’ve traversed this wonderful earth
But yet, my body remains here
In the land it has occupied since its birth
I know, I will continue to go
To where my body will never take me, I’ll be
For now, though, I am here
I don’t see you, though, you most certainly see me
