Hear Me Out

I was born and raised in the thick of trees,
No polished paths, just untamed breeze.
Men like me don’t need a home,
We thrive where beasts and shadows roam.

I’m not afraid if she walks away,
I’ll smile and shrug, like it’s all okay.
She ruined my life, but hey, she’s fine,
Beauty can shatter, but it’s still divine.

I miss the days my smile was real,
When life wasn’t just a spinning wheel.
Where’s the switch to reset my brain?
It’s filled with junk, just pure disdain.

Maybe love ain’t made for me,
Or maybe it’s a game I’ll never see.
They hate us ‘cause we’re too damn good,
We stand where the fearless once stood.

If I die, dress me sharp, my friend,
Send me off, with no loose end.
Don’t bury me near, send me far,
To where the promised lands are.

Trash the nudes, send your credit card,
Life’s a hustle, it’s never too hard.
In the end, we’ll toast with love,
To all the people we’re still thinking of.

Unfulfilled Wish

When weight of regret riddled thoughts 
swirl numerous nameless sorrows within 
A calloused heart waits for a magic wand
in promise of a sunrise small hopes begin 

When shooting stars hide behind clouds
pennies all  lost in deep wishing wells
naive desires born in puddles of dream
stray eyelashes tinkle chimes of bells.

When garnish is missing in blueprint of life
in peace of sunset, maelstrom looks for bliss
to join broken glasses , to reset life again
passion smolders to ash of unfulfilled wish.

Premium Member Path of Least Resistance

(“Outside Looking In Merit Badge”, 2011, original oil)

In a dream
The repeated pattern of my own conditioning
Like a Groundhog’s Day set on reset
Reveals to me the futility of the human condition
Habitually doing the same things
While expecting different results;
As Einstein said, THE definition of insanity.
Yet again and again we also wake
With at least the hope of sanity,
The freshness of not being habitually driven
Until we once again start to do
And the conditioning of all these lifetimes
Kicks in again, as we
Without thought, without effort
Take the easy path of least resistance.

Simple

There is something simpler in life
Always there is… only to be
As often as we intend to strive
As often we forget what there is to see

Simple is nerving and uncertain
Isn’t complication uncertain as before?
Life’s a full circle yet we do not return
And with so much… have we learn to restore?

And earnestly I wanted to reset myself
Only to discover I haven’t a default
Having learnt to override that withheld
Did simplicity just become complicated for result?

How did I forget something so simple?
And why the need to remember an ever were?
When its choices thinkable to dribble
Did I only see what promises to be unsure?

There is something complex in life
Always there is … I shall see
As often as I live to strive
As often we forget simplicity to be

Me

"Me"

Out of all the things in the world I could be 
I have finally accepted 
It's best if I'm me 
A caterpillar who soon
Went into a cacoon
And to my surprise 
I went from crawling
to flying like a beautiful butterfly
I was a painting on the wall
that people considered graffiti
my words became intense 
and to the world more needy
I wouldn't consider it greedy
I would consider it hunger
I wish I was this hungry 
when I was younger 
a lesson learned 
time to reset 
time to experience the best yet 
Level up
with no regrets 
standards it's time to set 
elevation is a word 
that goes unheard 
so this is what I will do 
know the limit for myself is through the roof 
so which one will it be 
that choice is totally up to you
you see
I will just enjoy being me

LET ME BRING YOU 
UP TO DATE.
GRIDS ARE DOWN 
THROUGHOUT THE STATES.
A HUNDRED AND TEN 
WITH SWELTERING HEAT.
WITH SHORTS ON MY BODY 
FLIP FLOPS ON MY FEET.
THIS HAS GONE ON 
FOR THE LAST 48 HOURS.
ALL DAY AND ALL NIGHT 
AND STILL HAVE NO POWER.
YET GAMBLERS ARE GAMBLING 
BOOKIES BOOK BETS.
PREDICTING THE TIME 
THE GRID WILL RESET.
A THUGSTER TRIED THUGGING, 
BUT THEN HE GOT SHOT.
WITH A HOLE IN HIS HEAD, 
HE WAS DEAD ON THE SPOT.
LOOTERS ARE TARGETS 
FOR COPS ON THE STREETS.
WHO TRY TO STOP RIOTS 
AND STILL KEEP THE PEACE.
THE BEST PLACE TO BE 
IS INSIDE OF MY CAR.
WITH A/C AND MUSIC 
AND ENOUGH GAS TO GO FAR.

Reason Why Do Some Wounds Take Your Longer To Heal Than Others

If one was to ask 

Why some wounds take longer
to heal than other's

Maybe it's because

Though the human body
is blessed with miraculous
power's of healing 

Like flesh once cut and we
bleed a scab and scar will
form and skin grow back again

A broken bone can reset
itself twice as strong

Our internal organs over time
can eventually regenerate 

And a brain tumour and virus
be gotten over

Yet whereas a broken heart 
examined under diagnosis
will not display or show up 
any visible sign of damage 

And so maybe that's why
the aforementioned question
is so hard to answer or place
a healing time upon

And in sometimes a broken
heart or loss of a loved one
can lead unto and bring
on death before it's time

Because what a heart is 
supposed to do is pump
blood and oxygen onto the 
brain

Yet and but somtimes may
feel inclined to give up on
life and fail to skip a beat

If cupids arrow is pulled out
by the love and loss of one's
true life partner departs

And word's once spoken
and said and an a oath
or promise made such as 

Till death do us part

Mean exactly that

The Backslider
By: Tom Wright
2/17/99

Do you follow a path
encumbered with weeds?
have they seemingly appeared
from your planted seeds?

Are the tracks you once followed
now faint and dim?
Becoming tracks of the world
and no longer of Him?

Does some inner longing
tell you "reset your course"?
Have you so soon forgotten
your power source?

Has your once robust witness
been choked out by tares?
Have you become complacent
and now caught in Satan's snares?

Though having strayed from the path
there is balm for your soul.
Christ, can clean and reenter
making you, once again, whole.

Following tracks of the world
has a significant cost.
Foremost, when your path ends
you'll be eternally lost.

Travel not the broad path
make your course the narrower way.
The path leading through the straight gate
to God, and Heaven someday.

Premium Member Mother Earth

Aspiring to be chilled with showers, 
                         Dried cracked earth looking at the sky

                           A mute witness to the puerile acts
                               disruption from soil to space
                                 the woeful nature’s yell!

                              Her pristine form is in threat
                              Hope the grabber will awake
                              Come and join hands to reset
                                Save for posterity's sake

                                         dews of elixir
                              dropping down from the ether
                                     sprouting life again

Bipolar and you pt3

We are in a crisis
The thoughts and visions inside us
Coming out to play
And making you pray
For all this to go away

I see your desperation 
And this broken situation
I see your efforts to battle the demons
I also watch how this strengthens

Your mind running rampant
Your actions show detachment 
Not knowing who you are anymore
Nothing is the way it was before

This is not your fault why this happened
No one could of seen or imagined
That malabsorption caused the decline
And your mind to resign 

I see the terror when you see the shadow
Your heart beats rapid and your eyes narrow
Palms get clammy 
Your eyes go glassy

Dropping into an episode fast
The stress caught up with you at last
A blackout moment to reset your mind
Temporary reprieve from the role assigned

I see your confusion about what you hear
But trust me those voices and people are not near
You are in a place of safety 
Where you can express yourself safely

You feel judgement looming
Intensifying thoughts becoming consuming
I wish I could take the pain away
So you can be living your life today

I hear your fears, I hear you wanting to end the pain
It would indeed rest your brain
But cause the ones who love you most
To also become ghosts

Your life is precious to us
Your pain has to be open to discuss
We want to be able to save you
From this life of pain in view 

Let’s hope the new little pill
Will make her head go still
Calm the voices and noise
And give her back laughs and joys

The shadows are the enemy
Brutality stealing away your identity 
They are haunting your mind in the present
Isolating you and becoming unpleasant 

I hope this new medication 
Will banish the derealisation 
And bring you back whole and unharmed
The only scar is to being alarmed

You and bipolar can live in harmony 
Working together on this evolving journey
He isn’t your foe but your friend
A life together you both attend 



P.S.
I’m proud of you for hanging on.
