On the streets of indifference
we walk paths of human foibles.
do our negatives outweigh our positives?
can you leave your reactive bags aside
for a newness void of practical plentifuls?
It’s been said, Those who do not learn from the
past are doomed to repeat it.
Zombies trapped in a living casket of
intrepid choices, Ego centered choices
stifling of present presents, a new now
forgiveness, letting go of events gone.
Consider a peaceful transition to a
fruitful future. Make amends, take
the high road, douse all petty post
blame, forgive, forget. Live free or
die in your rigmarole afflictions.
Get with the program,
Time waits for no one.
I've had it with the misery
I live with every day
I've had it with my brokenness
That only brings me pain
I've had it with the shattered dreams
That never quite came true
And I've had it with the emptiness
I was left with after you
I've had it with the promises
That turned out to be lies
I think it's time for me to leave
Without so much as goodbye
Maybe then you'll understand
That nothing's ever free
And some things aren't worth anything
Not even memories
It's all just painful pieces
Left of once upon a time
That had no ever after
So it's time to leave the ride
I just hope that someday
You'll look back at all you've shattered
And finally see my bloody truth;
Love's all that ever mattered.
By beautiful pain
Misery Loves Company
Watch how we embrace, how the room seems to spin. How we pretend to no end, how we are fine. No one understands but we understood each other. You know my thoughts, I know yours. When you look inside ,what do you see? Do you see, a way to get out. Do you crave the help, knowing that maybe you have helped another and another. Placed yours away, just to have them stay with there misery. To be the one to unlock their mystery, their history. Take away their agony. You see the pain, the struggle in their face and feel the sadness. Take it as if it were your own. Shown the problem and then you have your mind blown. When your faced with the problem, and its you. Who has you? Who had you........ The company is no more.
No finish line i just got to keep winning
aside of me nobody i see nobody
i probably told them not to bother me
or follow me i just wanted to see
if i could fly i dont need nobody
to die for me
misery loves company we compete for the price
blind folded by surprise
who did u want to be
why not see me succeed
ill succeed weather or not
i could i see i just wanted
to see u f with me
damn
i cant fathom all bad
cant stand around
on the ball i proceed
wound up no pressure
but i let go like green
peep game cuz peer pressures a *****
cant catch up to karma
she knows what you did
i wont focus on drama
though a lot about the dollars
so they come back a lot
i bout a peace but nothing changed
twist it like theres bud missing
but i dont twist my ends
I sit watching and waiting,
Nerves tender to the touch
As anxiety and worry pound through my brain
And threaten to push their way
Out in the form of a hollow cry
Of anger and despair.
I clutch my chest
As if to prevent the blood
From leaking out
From my now bleeding heart.
Confusion and anger
Drove my fist to palm;
As if to pound out the reasons
for each emotions existence,
Knowing good and well
How they were created.
They were born into me
After being raped
Of my once innocent mind,
Impregnated with the lies
And falseness of love.
And now as my soul tries to abort
The growing blackness within
My mind struggles to focus
And come to terms that
This reality is my own creation.
So I continue to wait:
Eyes fixed on the clock
And a hand ready for the phone.
Wondering if my love
Will ever again
come home
