Abandoned Reverence

It is perfected
these scars of neglect
like stars in vague darkness
Beneath lines of courage
Enough to live for
Enough to die for

It is an ever flowing storm
this voice of fear
Deceiving
like choice in fierce plight
Beneath calm weathers
Enough to fail for
Enough to try for

It has all been given
All been delayed
Lost for so long
between whitened brilliance
and silenced millions
Fight the strength
that wounds the spirit
Enough to resound for
Enough to imprison for

Absolution never was rectified
Never tolerant
Never illiberal
Betrayal always engraved on existence
Always forbidden
Always allowed

Foment the restless
that has forsaken me
the purpose of infinity
the eternal cry 
of solitary humanity

Labyrinth

Self destruction amidst courage
I wound my ways through breath
finding nothing I hold dear
As if I have everything to fear
I desperately grope the answers
for questions there are none
giving my best for all that is to be done
This vain attempt for identity
controls perpetual pretence
Predictable reputation increases 
that which is the sole defense
Omit me from all memory
Wipe me from reality
I have no desire for retaliation
No need for confrontation
I don't want truth from dishonesty
Because false passion there is intolerably

I just don't wish to be so 
neglected.
