The Forest's Only Path

As I drift along the forest, I see a dark path/
Little do I know, the darkness is light itself/
I wander to the side of the path, escaping all that scares me/
All that terrifies me, all the hardships, all the possible lessons/
I've travelled down many like that, possibly even darker/
Quickly my mind takes me to the land where we only visit asleep/
I feel a different vibe, my surroundings are different/
What is altering me? What is this feeling?/
Feels so similar to that of...
"No, I must never have that feeling again."/
I yell, my heart aches, my temples are imploding/
Why didn't I travel down that path/
It maybe would be the last one I'd have to face alone.

Leaf Covered Path

I see her walking down a path covered by leaves, and her body moves like a tease/
Lonely, mysterious, and lost from a distant... but near past which brings her to her knees/
She looks into a puddle, a puddle in the snow that lyes beneath those leafs and sees/
A reflection of self and realizes the harm fallen upon her... and screams/
She screams and screams for help. I remember that same position/
I remember the pain and guilt she must have and now feel/
Like a tree growing in a barren-land, it grows unhealthy... Depleted of water and the bark peels/
I walk to her and wrap my arms around her to warm and comfort her/
She flinches and pushes me away... and denys help, as well as her own being/
I make promise to her. That promise to help her in this time she truly is needing/
She suddenly grabs me and pulls me towards a door in the middle of nowhere/
Where does it lead? Should I go along? Am I prepared?/
These questions I ask and then I figure/
Love is unpredictable... and my questions cannot yet be answered/

'written In Stone' Parts 1 and 2

Part 1
I write and write, but nothing changes/ I scream and scream, but my voice is silent/ I feel my life is written in stone/ Carved and written by my blood and bones/ You laugh and laugh, I think silent suicide/ You become ashes and smoke, your my cyanide/ You feel your life is written in stone/ We try and try, and we continue to try and strive/ We learn and learn, but as arrogant as a primitive tribe/ Our future, destiny, and life is written in stone/
Part 2
I read the stone slowly/ To analyze the thoughts and process life as I get older/ I understand the written language/ Because it is my thoughts and my soul/ That make me the fish out of the bowl/ I gasp for life, each second becomes precious/ I cannot escape what makes me... me/ I bleed upon the stone, which is written by my own blood/ When will the scar heal/
