Running in circles,
spinning in place

Everywhere at once
—nowhere at all

At the playground in the dark.
Running in circles
To try to reignite sparks
I once had when I was young....

The burning
The pain
I will not submit!

It will not stop
It only gets worse
I will not let it take over!

Here I go
Running in circles
I will not lose control!

Ahh
I failed......

I am redundant
running in circles 
around and around

no one can catch me
no one is trying
because I am redundant

here is my husband
he is redundant too
we circle each other like tigers...

You must walk across the fire,
to reach what you dream for.
And yes you will get tired,
but it will make you want it more.

You feel you're running in circles
and the battle is to hard,
wishing for a miracle,
but you have already come so far....

running in circles.
going no where fast.
seeing my dreams.
just out of my grasp.
heart is heavy.
inspiration down the drain.
no one to turn to,
i'm driving myself insane.
just asking for one little light.
everywhere is dim.
can't fight anymore.
i'm all alone again....

I was running in circles, 
I hurt myself, 
Just to find my purpose. 

Everything was so worthless, 
I didn't deserve this, 
But to me you were perfect. 

I'm scattered through this life. 
If this is life I'll say good bye. 

He's gone like an angel, 
With wings let me burn tonight....

the left hand can see
five possible futures
three of them don't include you
they go streaming out
in front of my sight
and I can see multiple mes
and multiple yous
running in circles
racing the other rats
wasting talents
in cubicles and
water cooler conversations
and it makes my eyes water...

I want you in my arms
Back into our lives
There's nothing wrong with emotions
Caused by other peoples lies

You can run from the truth
And I will tire some day
Running in circles after you
Hoping you will run faster each day

Maybe I should slow down
See if you still chase me
If you stop, then I'll know
Your still living an old memory...

Running in circles.
Chasing illusion.
Self medicating to stop the pain for awhile.

Shattered conceptions.
Blaring reality.
Harshness of life in the fore-most of thought.

Amplified ugliness.
Cynical motives.
People forgetting there is more to life.

Exhausted consciousness.
Forlorn existence.
Alone and abandoned with no end in sight....

Jack loves winter and is a very funny fellow.
Always chewed frozen ice, white not yellow.
Cracking, crunching, his teeth were hard.
Keeps placing his special mouth guard.

Finally one day while running in snow.
Running in circles as the wind did blow.
One misstep was all that it took.
Sent his mouth guard into a brook.
That was the end of his smiling glow.

Within the Circle 
Around the burned down stable, near
the oak that was struck by lightning,
there is a silence within the stillness.
I can hear screams of stabled mules
running in circles trampling each other
into a bloody mass and falling beams.
Within the circle sheltered by whispering
leaves I can hear rattling of chains and
the forest afar sings of endless sorrow.

I hate love.
I don't like him.
I hate to feel.
I hate to see him,
Coming around.

I hate love,
Leave from,
My heart's town hall.
You came around for me,
And for you I didn't call.

I wish you would fall from heaven,
Like Lucifer did.
You got me running in circles,
Like a little kid.

Love, I hate you.
Leave me alone.
Get off my heart's phone.
Take the freaking dial tone.

Having Loved much
And thrown myself into that 
Nameless quest
My secret sinner
With laughter as an equal
Laughter I never knew
I feel your presence in my heart
That brings comfort 
And excitement in my mind
My head and heart
Are running in circles
What had been yesterday
Still is today
You opened the windows to my soul 
You are the closest I could feel
When I long only what is known
By the Soul.......

An empty shell
Desperate to be filled
But, its host is oblivious to the void
That lies within him
Running in circles
Searching for euphoria
At any cost
Discarding corpses along with way
Trampling on the bodies of those still breathing
That have no use for him now
He enters his sanctuary
To worship his God of pleasure
Experimentation with a myriad of adventures
Never results in satisfaction
Only causes him to hunger for more...

out in the field
struggling to see tomorrow

humankind screaming
for another breath of air

running in circles
nowhere to hide

frightened souls
comforted by death

only way out
is to kill

hopes and dreams
buried beneath rubble

tears forced down the cheeks
of innocence

the sun sets
and the nights are yet to fall asleep

but the arms of tomorrow
bring nothing but pain

in the fields of war
tomorrow will be the same....

in the midst of chaos
gave a purpose
connected once
so I thought
	holding on to a wish
remembering every word
dreams unexplained
running in circles
as you talk Love
so I thought
queen behind your door
	welcomed years more
a timeless weakness
	misunderstanding
wanting the feeling
brought on by your mind
whispers of greatness
	and sorrow
my situation so unkind
knowing yet not asking why
hinding Truth inside
of who you are
so I thought

-Symphony...

Bewildering panic
Consumes me
Feeling the pounding
Of my racing heart
On the edge of insanity
Falling to my death
Yet I continue down this
Path of self destructiveness
To resurrect the corpse 
That lives inside me

Running in circles
No way out of the maze
Of deception and lies
In which I am trapped 
Reality blurred
Living in a fantasy
Only an illusion of escape
Never breaking free
Looking in the mirror
But, ignoring the truth 
That's staring back at me...

My two dogs are having a cow
Because of all the firework noises that are going on
They are barking their heads off
Haha
I think I am going to have to put some earplugs on them
They are looking at me with their heads cocked to one side
As if asking me
Well, Fifi and Napoleon
It’s your welcoming pop to test your hearing
To make sure you are up for the job
Which is protecting me, you hear?
Lol
They wouldn’t let up
They are going to be barking another day 
Tomorrow
Ha...
