Lucifiers Arrogance

Lucifiers Arrogance 
Way up above in the sky
with fresh air and the feeling of relief and freedom
 over an infinity amount of years ago
There was an conflict known worldwide
An angel named Lucifer
He had a greedy need for power
All he needed was little bit to know he wanted more
All he wanted was more and more power
So then he tries to overthrow god
And god kept giving him chances in fact over a trillion chances
And Lucifer let the greed keep getting to him
So eventually god got tired of this
He decided to kick him out of heaven
So he got sent down into the pits of flames and the lake of fire
The place known best for it torture, tourment , and temptation
 While on his way down all of his angel like qualities were gone
Once He was down there the fire was gleaming off his face
Sweat running down his forehead the fire was overwhelmingly hot
Then he saw on how good he had it up in heaven
He had freedom, he had a cool yet comfortable temperature
But now he was in the worst place imaginable
 With flames fire and fiery
He thought he was god and had  no limitations.
But everyone has their limits
He was a chair standing in the way of god's will

The Mirror Effect

As I look into the mirror 
I see a face that is not mine 
As if I got lost in the jagged lines
Every fracture that breaks
Ends up revealing 
My real face 
The more and more 
I look 
The more it shows
I shouldn't  have
Hid behind doors that were closed.

Shadows

Shadows

Do You ever feel like something’s following you?
Maybe something is.
Not literally.
But mentally.
Wether it’s your past or your present
Following you, 
no matter how hard you try to forget it
You can’t.
It’s just there all the time . 
And you try and run.
Hide.
Pretend it ain’t there.
But it don’t work.
Something’s still following you.
Every step 
Every moment.
But then you stop running, 
And you turn around and realize
It’s only your shadow.
The shadow of your past,present
But be careful that shadow 
If you don’t let go,
It could become,
The shadow of your future as well.

Escape

Escape
Do you ever just need an escape?
An escape from reality?
Your past?
Your present?
The thoughts inside your head?
The overthinking of every little thing?
Every mistake?
Every miss spoken word ?
Everything unsaid? 
Every regret?
Every small thing you could’ve done better?
No matter how big or small
Each moment replays in your head,
Wondering 
what could I have said different?
What could I have done different?
What could I have done better?
But you gotta escape from those thoughts 
Find a way to block them out
Do anything but face them. 
But it all ends the same 
You just keep thinking and thinking,
Until it eats you alive ,
Then you’ll realize
You gotta face it
And eventually,
You will

Silence

Quite
Why is it so quite
You say to yourself
After hearing the words
That are spoken 
You don’t cry 
You don’t lash out
You don’t disagree
You just stay silent
No matter what
Is going through your head
You stay silent
Through everything 
You stay silent
You bottle it all up
Because talking about it it hurts to much
You try and talk
But it feels like a lump in your throat
Preventing words from coming out
But you know that you need help
But you always keep it bottled up
But someday
It will come out
You’ll lash out
You’ll feel everything all at once
Then its to much so you just stop
And go back to being silent.
And eventually all that’s left is ,
Silence.

Empty

Do you ever feel empty?
You could be around people
Like friends
Family
Girlfriend 
Or anyone you love,
Your just there,
But not actually there.
Emptiness.
Even when something happens
You don’t react
You don’t cry
You don’t say anything
You just are there,
And you don’t know why
Because you know you care
But can’t express it,
And can’t say anything about it.
