Ghosts of the Sun Dance

Human endurance, road to mystery
Dark trail winding through the gardens of wrath

It echoes through me, this deep ambition
Half...

PTSD

Like rabbit in the headlight caught
I want to move, i know I ought
But quicksand stuck, I’m petrified

After the storm was gone
Escaping the aftermath to hide
What in you was going on
I remember the fury of the night
And you coming, coming, coming
But never...

wrote you down
sing it outloud
the best things in life are free
no thoughts necisary
instant fame

A week long trip to mars, and a cup of creamed coffee
Alongside a crumb-filled plate.  
There is a fare, a fare, if you dare,
Take a...

If I choose to show my agony to the whole world
I become labelled as an attention seeking nonsense
If I choose to hide it,
Behind self trained glamorous smiles
And behind thousands of 'I'm very well, thank you!'

Pandemic pessimism 

There is no such thing as society.
Forgo forgiving, forget free lunch,
Just plates of debt and toxic punch.
First come first served, no us, just me
Seeking survival in celebrity.
Self serving, Kentucky Fried Credit Crunch.
My savings...

And still stay put, stagnant, nowhere to reach,
To struggle hard, getting not so in hand,
To feign busy as if a butterfly,
Or a productive bee nevertheless,

That I shall be an enjoyer of my fifties
Pray,

To know

nor took to the skies, yes...how bore)
