Insidious Obsidian

occult believers
                                    obtain obsidian blades
                                    volcano's black blood



23rd August 2020


   * Solidified lava which cools rapidly forms the crystal, 
     Obsidian. It's synonymous with spiritual rituals, 
     used historically by witches, carved into swords. 

     Isaac Newtown apparently has a more contemporary 
     association with Obsidian. 

     * Obsidian is described as a color in my reference book,   
        'The Secret Lives of Colour'  by Kassia St. Clair 2016
     * Black, with hint of transluscent olive green.

Being Thankful

What keeps me calm in the chaos
Is knowing that nothing bad
Last forever
What keeps me calm
Is having enough faith
To know that this to
Shall pass
Even giving thanks
For waking up
In the morning and
Seeing that I’m alive
What keeps me calm
Is knowing that I
Have choices in life 
Others is not that lucky
I found the time to
Search my soul and 
Got to know myself better
I have dreams and values
Being thank-ful for all
These things is what
Kept me calm in the 
chaos

The Spiritual Battle

THE BATTLE I’M FACING
IS A VICIOUS ONE
POP-UP PROBLEMS
TRYING TO RUIN MY FUN
IT’S LIKE A NAT
THAT WON’T GO AWAY
IT KEEPS COMING BACK
WANTING ME TO PAY
THERE’S NO REASON
FOR SUCH CRUEL ACTS
YOU JUST WANT TO HURT OTHERS
WITH YOUR SENSELESS ATTACKS
ITS OBVIOUS TO ME
THAT YOUR LIFE IS SAD
YOU’RE MISERABLE AND UNHAPPY
THAT’S WHY YOU’RE SO MAD
BEWARE OF THE PAIN
THAT YOU CAUSE OTHERS
CROSSING TO MANY LINES
YOU’LL SOON SMOTHER
GOD IS THE ALMIGHTY
AND HE DON’T PLAY
HE’LL RIP YOU TO PIECES
AND MAKE YOU PAY
YOU’LL SEE IT SOON
WITH YOUR OWN TWO EYES
WHEN HE COMES DOWN ON YOU
AND IGNORE ALL YOUR CRIES
YOU CAN’T ESCAPE FROM
THE EVIL YOU DO
INNOCENT PEOPLE HAVE THE RIGHT
TO LIVE THEIR LIVES TO!


Overcoming Mistakes

By realizing your mistake
Is taking the first step
In your life, moving forward is the key

Moving forward with
Faith and prayer
Knowing that everything will be okay

Concentrating on the positive things
That life has to offer
Having faith and focusing on happiness

When you Realize 
that nobody’s perfect, only then
will you overcome your mistake

I Didn'T Realize It Happened

I’m fighting for my life
I had courage at first
I had strength

My faith was strong
I had lots of confidence
Years later I woke up to

A life fill with hate
From jealous eyes and faces
Coming from all directions

My strength began to weaken
My faith was challenge
I had begun to lose my self-confidence

My problems seem to overpower me
And me not knowing
Where to turn

I didn’t realize when it happened
Until I began to look over my life
I tried to figure out where I went wrong

I never notice
That through the years
It had even happened to me

I’m feeling crushed and
Pushed pass my limit
A limit that’s too much for one person

Why should I bare this
Undeserving pain
Undeserving sulfuring

I began to look pass some things
And saw all the good 
God had done for me

So I pushed pass
The darkness
Into the light
He began to bless me
Because of my fight
And my trying times

My life made a
One hundred degree turn 
Out of the darkness into the light

I'Ve Sufferred

I’ve suffered 
A lifetime of pain
Pain so strong it could
Drive a weak person insane

Years of problems
That jumped from one to another
Problems so piled up
It’s like no other

Stressing me out
To the macks of my being
Thinking that my
Life is not worth seeing

I’m tired of suffering
I just want to live a life
Not wanting to continue
My life in strife
