The Maze

lost in the maze of life
i wander

Into the Darkness

I watched helplessly and emptily into the pure darkness 
As i felt it swallow me up
I reached out my hands to grab anything so that i could pull myself back up
But i grasped at the cold air and i realized
I was defeated
My fate was no longer mine 
Justice and fairness just an illusion 
I was dragged down continuously
I could see no end and no bottom of my cell with an opened door
I laughed bitterly

The Lies

The lies

I lied
so that i would not have to share the sad things
and the things that would make you angry
i lied
so that i could hide the flaws
i lied
because i was afraid of the consequinces
i lied
because i did not want to see your disappointed face
i lied
for i only wanted to say things that would please you
i lied 
to you mom
and every time i lie i do it to avoid the truth
but the lies seem to be dragging me deeper into the ditch we call sin
into the swamp we call punishmet
i'm sorry mom
ill do better
i wont lie

Hidden Truth

The truth that I must tell you
Is about the poems I have wrote
They Are all based on the ugly truth
 that I think you need to know
If you can see the hidden meaning that this poem beholds
Please comfort this empty soul

The Consequence

i am a bird
trapped in the cage that i built
captured by the grief inside
seized by my own greed
ruling my own little world
unable to escape
for my sins were too heavy

The Reason We Exist

The reason we exist

every single soul
perhaps we live to die
to give birth to a new life
to cherish it until
your final breath beholds
perhaps we were all given life
to find a single soul
that we love more than our own

when we die we say goodbye
but someday we will unite
even if your memory, erased
and your body, clean and pure again

then there you’ll find the meaning of your life
until that day you die
to leave memories behind you
if happy experiences are what you desire
the choice is in your hands

if you lived a happy life
you’ll leave no regrets behind
so when you are
reborn again 
you won’t pay the debts
for misusing the life you were given

Dreams

Dreams

I now lay down
Waiting for the train
The train called sleep

Ready to gently caress me
 Into another world
As i slowly board the train
I gasp in awe

The view outside the window
Is swirling about in confusion 
For i have many things i want to be
My dreams are also uncertain

The End

The End

I pretended to be strong when i was weak
I pretended to be okay when i was wounded
I pretended to attack you so that i could defend myself
So that i could hide myself
I built an army of scarecrows and pretended that i was armed
And now
I look back
I was so caught in pretending that i had forgotten how to be me
But now
It’s too late to turn back
It’s too late to regret
It’s too late to fix things
Because
I feel that
I know that
The end is coming

A Place To Go

Surrounded by the darkness 
I don't know where to go
I'm blinded by the horrer 
But I walk on two and fro
I have no one to rely on
This pitful maze I woe
Surrounded by the darkness 
I have no where to go

Blank Page

I'm just a blank page
All the paintings make fun of me
But what they don't know is that
I have hopes and possibilities 
You paintings are beautiful
But I am a blank page
But because I'm blank
I know
That I will be painted someday
And I may be even more beautiful
Than you paintings
But until then I'll be a blank page
