I cannot die tonight
I dog-eared a book
Of pages I haven't perused
You know how long that took?
Scent of pages

Each page a promise, a tale untold
In the...

The doorbell rings
He’s here!
I spray on a dab of cologne
Take a few deep breaths
To calm myself, then
Pop a mint in my mouth


I quickly glance in the mirror
Brush down a stray hair
My makeup is impeccable
My lips...

(Verse 1)
This cannot repeat or loop around anymore, in my direction,
I've had the wind kicked out of my sails due to depression.
And everyday

the fight I'm saying.

Just because I'm working on my mental health
Doesn't mean I think I'm better than a person who chooses to stay unwell
It just means

Temporary salient sunny solitary sight
does dole divine delight,
asper this dada to imbibe

Seeking to find my way
I hope to be a step closer with each new day
Fighting the forever sad
Sometimes makes me feel bad
The...

Demons of doubt and crush fangs of today
To jettison the forced road of casualty
But so that I may believe I will triumph only
Without ire come what may

and windings of plot to be spun.
We’ve myriad paths to meander, assess.

That man you see,
On the streets he be
Living with nothing to his name
He holds no one to blame.
You call him a bum
Doesn't matter where he has come from
Wasn't his choice to be on the street.

Afterglow, the way you shine, awakening delicate as early morning dew

Beautiful, always the memory of our first time

Charming, the way you blushed as I stroked your cheek

Divine, the tatse of your lips upon mine

Cold Morpheus snowflakes descended all night
You blinked them away with amphetamine tears,
A veil so defiantly, sugary white
When the whole sleeping world disappears;
For who will remember your un-ravaged face
When you stood like a child at the...
