A dark world

Our hard work put in grades
To a future that’s printed
As people and trades 
become money that’s minted

Our peace slowly lost 
to a world full and grey
With a price tag and cost
We sell our souls away

Lost and Found

I took a risk
My heart was waiting for you at the Lost and Found,
Sapphire crystals-- dark blue, cold, cerulean.
Sapphire-- Aluminum oxide.
Much like my shattered soul.
We both have had a tragic past.
You've dived off the deep end; arrived at the bottom of the teary sea
Depression's sick mind
I've ran far and fast as I could, but I couldn't escape
The echos calling back to find my ghosts.
The world is crumbling.
Maybe, oh maybe...
In some kind of dream, have I seen you before?
There could be a chance- To bring warmth
I admired your voice, your smile.
I screamed without making a sound.
I am only in the far back of your mind, I am now the ghost--
How could I confess my secret?
To someone like you
You seem dead on outside but there's a world underneath
I want you to be with me.
I finally met you.
Who am I?
There is a feeling of inadequacy-- 
A psychological paranoia.
I will break through the limitations.
I will show you who I am.


World of Darkness

When the sun sinks behind,
I rise to see,
A world of darkness holding me,

The moonlight shone brightly ,
but it wasn't enough.
to break the darkness inside.

I was scared and blind,
I ran, never knowing,
what my next step will bring.

no chains bind me,
but I am prisoner here,
of darkness and despair.

This feeling clings me,
 i had no one to console,
int his world of darkness i am all alone.

Echos of Reality

Lost in the shadows of a person that use to be.
 I am caught in a world of emotions, only an echo of reality.
In my world there is only confusion and distorted reality.
Shadowy images of life dance before me.
Trapped inside myself, I shall never be free.
I stumble along in darkness, ever searching for the light.
If only I could escape the eerie shadows of night.
No future can I see, I only dwell in the moment for that’s all that is left for me.

Fallen Angel

When darkness surrounds me and there's no one around

Nothing but silence in the background

I can see the faces of the forgotten and the lost

Sorrow and hate fill my thoughts

All of the world has turned to hell

And All I can think of is how I fell

Dear god please save me from myself

I know I have nothing to fear but fear itself

Yet I still fear the world and all it inhabits 

Will I ever be free from this awful madness

I am waiting for the one who will come and save me

He is my world I say as the darkness takes me.


The Window

Protected from life
Hidden from view
Alone in my room
With little to do.
I sit at my window
Safe from the world
Looking out at people
Going about in a swirl.

Whether a marriage or loved one
that has been lost,
Or maybe a business of which I was once boss,
Now all is gone and with nothing to do
I sit at my window
Safe from the world
And hidden from view. 

A world of hurt
Do I see
A retreat from life
is safer for me.

Like an animal hurt and 
withdrawing from life,
hiding from the world and all of its strife
I sit at my window
with nothing to do
Not willing to commit to the care of a few.

There was a time 
in this life I know
when I would come and I would go 
Now I hide away from it all
Not willing to venture out from this closed-in stall.

With nothing but a window
to the world that I see
hidden from sight 
and all who would love me.
A sad time is had
A lost life is bad
But my window is all that I allow to protect me.



Dedicated to all of the hurt and gentle people unable or unwilling to share their lives 
with others.

Incomplete

Here I am remembering your sweet smile
without you, feels sadness in this hole. 
Distant souls with nowhere to go 
Nowhere to turn
Do we even know?

I tried to hang on and to always love you
But without you my world is asleep
My heart is broken
Without you I am incomplete

People tell me to carry on.
Time has passed
And now it's over
you are gone. 
It just wasn't what should of been
Please hear my cry, while I sing this song.

I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go.
Don't want to face this world without you.
But It's time to move on
baby, all I do is weep.
Without you I am just incomplete.
 
I tried to hang on and to always love you
But without you my world is asleep
My heart is broken
Without you I am incomplete

Lost

Sitting in my chair
Legs crossed, feet bare
I gaze out the window
Looking for an answer
A clue, a sign, a hint
'Cuz nothing's making sense
A hole in the heart
A head with no brain
A world with lil sunshine
'Cuz it's flooded by the rain
There's gotta be a place
I can go to get away
A miracle, a blessing
Can't undo what's been done
Like looking into the sun
Blinded by what's right and wrong
When it's wrong all along
Lost in a world with nothing to do
I'd give anything to know the truth
But, once again I'm defeated
I shall look no more
Just continue to stay lost
And stop the urge to explore.

Remembering Her

i never knew the world could be this cruel to me or you
i didn't understand what you was going through
your eyes full of tears and sadness locked away so nobody
wouldn't see it
she view the world as a picture of misery and pain
she said the only way was suicide,the world has pain and suffering
and she is one of them.
one more she said.
remember of me and don't forget about me
and that was her last words,
me

Antichrist

On the day I was born a band of demons rejoiced in hell.
Under Satan's spell, I grew into a man with an empty shell.

Darkness still hangs over me like a stormy black cloud.
I thrive on violence, and silence can often be so loud!

I enjoy the smell of decomposed skin, and the taste of afterbirth!
My energy is fueled by my sin and I've come to terrorize earth!

Many angelic beings have tried to put an end, an end to my demonic crime.
My foes can't seem to comprehend how I travel back through time.

I've worn the crown of destruction, and I continue to conquer the lands.
Without bloodshed I can't function, so I need blood to drip from my hands!

I bathe in hell's flames, and bargain for souls by fulfilling peoples fantasies.
I am called many names, but Antichrist is what the Bible has labeled me!

Soon I'll unite the world's governments, and put my face on all currency.
The mass media will be my instruments, and I'll have the world fooled to believe in 
me!

I'll have all people under my control, and flood the world with sex and drugs like 
cancer.
I'm determined to win every soul, for that is my goal, and I'll hold all the answers!!

Dark

The sky is dark. 
Can you see what you have done?
What you caused?
People look but can not see,
See what the world is truly today
You only now what you are told
You never want to believe the fact that the world is coming
Coming to an end
You look in never looking out 
You kill each other day after day
When will this massacre end? 
When will you see it is for nothing?
The truth is you never stop
Only continue this unnecessary war 
Why?
Is it for power?
God cry’s down on you day after day
But it is not enough to wash away the darkness.
You make the sky dark
Can you cleanse it away and make it light again?

When and Why

When And Why

Concepts of right and wrong
White and black without the shades of grey
Where did those ideas come from?
Whose warped mind divided the world into two?
Murder is murder unless it is done on a battlefield?
Killing an unborn child is ok but only until it is born
It is okay for people to starve
But it isn’t legal to steal a love of bread to feed a family
Pets are left to waste away on the sides of the road
Or take them to a shelter and have them kill it for you
After all…it is painless to die
Animals can die for sport as long as they die running
It is okay as long as they don’t fight
People can be crippled for sport
It brings in the money
But we are told that it is not right to inflict injury
As long as the owners count their millions
It is alright to be a man until a woman wants your job
It is alright to be a woman until a foreigner takes your job
When did the world become so segmented?
So indecisive about what is right and wrong
When did we screw it all up?

The Pain of Your Memory

Cold and numb standing motionless lost in thought how could this be how have u passed me by it feels as if 
only yesterday I held u in my arms smelled your sweet perfume heard your tender loving voice now it's all a 
blur nothing but emptiness and bitter hate fill my vain's I clench my fists staring at the world how cruel it truly 
is disgusted by the lies crushesd by your betrayal no tears will fall for i've cried myself dry I curl up into a ball 
holding myself my heart slows I feel myself dying all I have left is this picture and distorted memories that I try 
to hold on to but they slip further away as time passes I'm reduced to nothing I'm ice cold numb to the world I 
no longer feel I am consumed with hate I'm dead inside but somehow I still manage to breathe

In This World

In this world full of lies,
where everyone seems to die.
With no truth to be said.
On your way down to hell,
afraid that you might have fell.
being lost for all eternity.

In this world full of death,
with one way left.
So lost in your mind,
you don't know where to turn.
Searching to go somewhere,
even if you are already there.
Ending your life with one more goodbye.

Lying In the Darkness

Lying in the darkness
Nothing here to see
The shadow of my lonely self
Just staring back at me

Lying in the silence
Deafening to my ear
The beating of my lonely heart
The only sound I hear

Lying here remembering
The world of you and I 
A love beyond forever
We knew would never die

My tears are never ending
My vision always blurred 
No one listens to my prayers
My words still go unheard 

You showed me what it was to love 
You showed me how to feel
My love for you was endless
My life with you was real

I know I'm needed in this world 
Even though you’re gone
I know I must survive this pain
I know I must be strong

But always I’ll remember that
Again one day I’ll see
The only man I’ll ever love
The only man for me...
