Joseph Garcia Poem
i can feel it dissipating
from every clogged pore on my body
never a timeframe more wasted
has this dismal nothing taken all of what was left
from these ashes i shall be rebuilt
only to stare back at that reflection
to see nothing more than what i feared
my soulless vessel will be ceaseless
there is nothing more grotesque
more monotonous
more beautiful
than what you could never take
what was never born shall never die.

Joseph Garcia Poem
all i wanted was a kingdom
that stretched as far as my eye could see
not adorned in gold or fancy flowers
just lost love and memories
i've lost, and probably always will
i feel im growing ever wiser even as dreadful time stands still
there is that man behind the mirrored glass and i can feel his stare pierce through
this elusive dream im chasing i dont ever want to reach
i see me standing there in shock
with everything thats sincerely me
that hurricane in my stomach swirling more than the angriest of seas
only to open the behemoth of a door and plunge head and mind into oblivion
ill never know which is worse
knowing the end or having a false beginning
theres a price tag etched in my head
and the whole world has been bidding
these lungs and my time may be borrowed
but every struggling breath shall be forever mine
my body hangs in the gallows
yet the world is which swings with the breeze
all i wanted was my kingdom that we built, you and me.

Joseph Garcia Poem
from this hatred and negativity
my skin crawls onto the floor
i am broken but not shattered
i wont let this depleted hope be the death of me
i will rise back from nothing
with full wind in my sails
these coasts will never skip these hollow eyes
this fragrance of life will find refuge in these nostrils
i put my heart up one more time
its better there than in my stomach
it has been beaten to almost nothing
filled with incapacitating lies
just open your eyes
thats what this world tries to tell me
just open your eyes
why cant you just see the beauty
they say i cant handle the responsibility
i cant swing it in this reality
the one that they have chosen
not the same that we were born into
its right here for the taking
but through this neglect comes the heartbreak
all thats left is to ask questions
do you even own a mirror
i see this earth on its wedding day
nothing short of inspirational
my breath becomes the wind
my lungs cant find a use anymore.
