I love myself!

She woke up one day and realized the pain had made her stronger...

Constantly defying the odds taught her to trust her struggle... & it didn't matter who wasn't there to love her because she'd learned to love herself...

Suicide

Some people simply feel safe in all their misery...

Some are comforted by the certainty of uncertainty 

And consistency of inconsistency 

Some are content with dwelling in the depths of insanity...

Just because they fear nothing better exists...

And that must be a very awful life

I'm afraid of humanity
and this new world era...of normalized insanity
Our means of fulfillment no longer speak language conducive to our hearts
We feed our ego's materialistic desire
and conspire
against our spirits
No one wants a fist full of feelings
give me one with cash
cuz I can cry myself to sleep
but, still
i gotta pay this
light & gas

I'm afraid of humanity
and what we're becoming
fearing nothing but to love
we brag about how we no longer trust
and yet we're dying inside
and it is love which we should trust

I'm afraid of humanity and how we boast about no longer wanting friendships
afraid of whats to come of us
when we are done with over glorified forms of affinity

there will be nothing left but puddles of patron and Hennessy
distorted thoughts and retribution
unethical actions provoked by nothing more than confusion...
of minds programmed all alike
Single handed we make choices based upon society's acceptance

and so, I fear humanity...

and I don't wanna be accepted.

Freedom

If I could describe all the ways that your love makes me feel 

I'd say it is like air to my lungs 

And a touch that has healed- me

Like a caged bird released into the sky 

You are the freedom I crash into 

And I'm soaring, I'm soaring on high

I'm alive! 

I'm alive! 

A weak mans strength

Weak man, you are strong!

Though you've grown faint from your context 

And your sorrow extends 

One hundred miles long

Weak man, you are strong!

Your skin pale, as it does not feel the sun

Only your eyes- watching...

Days come & days gone

But weak man, you are strong!

Oh, how cold your hands from those stone, cement walls 

You crave exterior strength 

But,

Weak man, you are already strong!

Everyday in accordance with the one before 

Structured routine- no way out!

You "can't take this no more"

But, I say to you...

Weak man, stand up straight!

Search for might within...

It is inside your core

Weak man, quit your moping!

Have you forgotten your faith?

You anticipate saving 

But,

Despair does not save

Your body held still

Than so let it be!

Your body be still-

Your spirit run free

Only a man whose spirit lives hopeless can be confined by misery

Weak man, you are strong!

Do not bow your head in anguish 

cuz all seems to go wrong

Bow steady with grace,

For he is your strength-

Through him, you are strong

Weak man do not weep 

Be not fragile anymore

Weak man you are strong!

Weak man you are strong!

Bumps and Bruises

The hardest part about falling is never the hit... It's getting back up!
