Life

The battles that I
endure are seemingly
imaginary 
to the worlds eye
but when you you
finally see 
get a glimpse 
a first sight
you would see the
things I battle 
when my mind is not
right
How do you explain
that you have
searched to find
refuge 
though the places
you have searched
have left you more
lost than before
I have looked
through God, music
and meditation
The answer seems to
be a magical Doctor 
with a miracle
medication
I feel as though I
am just waiting to
catch my break 
I drop my lives
mirror in
overwhelming
anticipation
for the broken
pieces to appear 
So I can attempt at
reconstructing my
jigsawed life
Back to what I
remember
The only fear I have
is as mirror drops
the pieces just
vanish
nothing left 
an empty canvass.

Mindless Thoughts

How do you express the feelings 
You cannot put into words
When no one understands 
Because your own thoughts are so blurred
What I have not yet lost 
Is that which I have not yet learned
The world races by
Each day is a haze
Countless hours spent
Sorting my way through this maze
This maze they call life
The life that I live
Each day a new chapter
Strolling on this million mile bridge
Pacing myself now 
For my destination is not in my sight
Grasping for air
Blinded by the darkest of lights
This pen and this pad
Give me hope for anew 
My scrambled thoughts clear as a cloudless summers night
The veil has has been lifted
As I continue this journey, this walk, this fight
