Kevin's Sestina

It dawned on me as the smoke would reflect
I, in an empty space deprived of sleep
Fundamental limit to be conceived
Prelude to a dream as vivid as real
Image seared in my head, you watch me drown
The thought, persistent enough to exist

Redefine alive, draw breath to exist
In solitary moments I reflect
Your still lifeless eyes are watching me drown
To fade as though a medicated sleep
To be flawed, scared, normal is to be real
Look beyond what you see, all is conceived

Pure depth is not so easily conceived  
True belief with contempt, will it exist
Second guess or question when this is real
The failure and broken tries I reflect
Replay each moment, haunts me in my sleep
The peace I draw in hopes this too will drown

Feeling numbs as it fades, released I drown
Subjective perception no one conceived
Car crash and broken glass herd in my sleep
My eyes will count the seconds I exist
Mortality I mimic or reflect
The last deep breathe before the storm is real

If what you hold is hollow, what is real?
What we perceive society will drown
Sentiment comes to life as we reflect
Thought process seems difficult when conceived
Resentment I thought would never exist
Faith guide my words to god praying for sleep

Nameless faces blend and fall into sleep
The pain I feel, the tears I cry are real
Hostility will forever exist
Bound to the breathless screams my blood will drown
It’s the fear I chase, I have now conceived 
Discomfort I carry as I reflect
  
Warm white light is soothing, now I may sleep
Profound emotion, aftermath is real
Reassured, there’s no question I exist

Soul Mate

Soul,
So free
Of judgment, 
Her walls come down.
No hate in her eyes,
Tranquility found in,
Whispers of a soul mate’s breathe.
Only thing that means anything,
Nullify each bad trip she’s on as,
She struggles to find her place next to me.

No More Lines

No more will I show,
Or articulate,
These words I retract,
Will drag you down to 
The low that I’ve sank.

Am I deranged? 
Or just misled?
I can’t get it,
Straight in my head,

Truth distorts.
Then takes shape,
Discarded,

So I,
Can feel

Numb.

What I Am I Am Not

I can admit, what I am I am not.
The one who’s left behind of best forgot.
I am not special, I am common clay.
I am the one who’s morals decay.

I am not the one with something to show.
Of significance I will never know,
I am the one destined to choke.
Take to the grave the words I never spoke.

I am the addict seeking an escape,
Alone and sober when the silence breaks,
Sell my soul, all debts are repaid.
I am the one of whom stigmas are made.

My best intention, a free floating thought,
Stripped, barely alive, or all for naught.

Blank Page

I’m bored of this scene,
Last ties to be severed now,
Be still or restless,
Reflection takes me back to,
A place I don’t want to be.

Someone Less Damaged

I stand alone outside, dumb deaf and blind,
No one cares nor minds what gets left behind.
Rub my eyes when I wake up to resent,
Insignificance I sense when I repent.

Well-spoken intent, kind works I regret,
Comes off sounding shallow and desperate, 
So it is alright if I can pretend,
Like something less damaged can mend.

Air’s so thick it drowns, all eyes looking down.
To watch me fake it, just like a sellout.
Rearrange what’s left, one beautiful mess,
I’ll be destroyed accepting nothing less.

Repressing these scars makes me nervous,
A soul so passive and weak can’t hurt us.
