Light It Up

Against the Dark Night Sky

The Ethereal Hides

Something’s Out There

Willing To Be Revealed if You Stare

 

Space Seems empty

A Void So Plenty

Until A Spark Ignites The Dry

Heaving the Fireworks To Fly

 

There is Purpose In All Things

There is Purpose In This Pain

Despite The Stains

There is So Much To Gain

 

Light It Up!

Light It Up!

Make It Brighter!

 

Light It Up!

Light It Up!

Make It Higher!

 

Light It Up!

Light It Up!

Make It Larger!

 

Light It Up!

Light It Up!

Make it Wider!

 

Nothing Will Be Unseen

You Won’t Believe The Scene

 

Someday

Did I Miss The Opportunity?

I’m Really Not Ready

To Help Other’s See

 

Stand Out In The Crowd

Hoping Ears Will Not Be Cold

Daring To Be Bold

 

Will I Stutter?

For Sure, My Heart Will Flutter

Will I Trip?

And Seem Like A Dip?

 

Maybe….

Maybe….

 

I Wish I Could, But Cannot Ignore

It’s Out Of My Control

I Have This Role

 

Wanting To Hide My Head

In the Sand

I Don’t Want To Grand-Stand

 

On The World’s Stage

And Reap People’s Rage

 

But My Role

Is In My Control

I Don’t Want To Fail

My Heart Will Pale

In The Mercy Seat

As Such, I Must Complete

My Role

 

Daring To Care

Life Isn’t Fair

Step Out of the Crowd

Be Loud

Take Courage

Don’t Be Discouraged

Have No Fear

Father Is Here

All Will Be Ok

Maybe Not Today

But Someday…

Leverage

Stuck In The Middle

Of A Crime in Time

Often Belittled

That Justice Missed Us

Thought of so Little

No One Ever Missed Us

Stuck On the Bottom

No Notice, Out of Focus

Spinning On A Spindle

Round & Round

You Can’t Erase

These Crimes without A Trace

Such A Disgrace

You’ll Get Your Place

Your Extreme Disgrace

A Hurdle Creates

Stuck In The Middle

Of Truth and Lies

Despite My Desire

To Run & Hide

Stepping Out

Taking The Stage

Back In The Middle

Of Your Mind Games

Stuck in the Middle

I See Your Disguise

It’s All For Show

I see Your Designs

 

Reactions

As hard as it is starting over

Just be grateful you are aware

The opposite used to be true

You never knew why you were blue

Or even that you were

Death hates life

But yet, can’t live without it

He is the one who is dependent

Not you, the seed, the egg, the abundant

Soon, he’ll be trapped forever

You carry a burden

Fighting it all along the way

You refuse to trust in life

Every step, remembering every strife

A chip on your shoulder

You always know

The better way, don’t you

That’s why you’ll soon be erased

A strange conundrum leaves a trace

Always out of sync

If you didn’t want it

You would have it

But you do want it, so you won’t

Never yielding, always pressing is your wont

It’s the one thing you have yet to learn

Perhaps there is no other way

Of being, the situation didn’t leave room

For too many other reactions

Though ample opportunity for retractions

But still things remained the same

Unfortunately, with death

It’s the pattern

There is not another way around

Pain & negativity abounds

Please, be happy anyway

I know that for you

That’s way too tall of an order

As much as you may not want to admit it

There’s an advantage to starting over

But, there’s no convincing you

The triggers to the traumas are too close

When distance is present, you heal

But I know that doesn’t matter to you

And that makes me a little blue

That’s your choice; there’s nothing I can do

You always know better

And that’s the way it is… I accept it

This is the way that we chose it

The past has been written, you must face it

Look forward and be at peace within it

Just be happy regardless

Be happy anyway

Be happy anyway

Love your life anyway

Love life anyway

Worm Working In My Brain

Squiggle, Wiggle

It Likes To Mingle

With My Grey Matter In Strain

 

Red Tendrils Grasping At Straws

Threading, Embedding

The Network Is Like

It Was Never Withdrawn

 

The Truth Is Too Terrible To Be True

I Wish I Was Making This Up

Then All I’d Have To Do Is Wake Up

My Eyes Are Open

But The Nightmare Persists

Digging Deeper & Deeper

Revealing A Me I Didn’t Even Know Exists

Fucked Beyond Measure

Trapped In My Own Mind

Time Is Not On My Side

 

Head Pounding

Heart Racing

Stomach Curling

Tears Streaming

Mind Raging

Eyes Hazing

Foreheads Blazing

Ears Ringing

Anger Seething

Soul Aching

Body Shaking

Fits Fleeting

Stomach’s On Fire

Can’t Sleep

Can’t Eat

Tossing & Turning

Over & Over

 

The Rage Is Consuming

Every Resource Inside

Burning Every Tissue To A Cinder

Never Thought To Reconsider

Where This Rage Inside Sources

Despite It’s Ever-present Courses

 

Trapped In Another Prison

Denial, Disbelief

Loss Of One’s Sure Self

Then Another Thaws

Another Draws

 

Blood Raging In My Head

Pounding, Sounding

Lighting Up Nerves That Should Have Been Dead

Or So The Fools Wanted

My Mind & Soul They Plotted

 

But I Have Other Plans

HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA

 

The Truth Is Too Terrible To Be Flase

All I Want To Do Is Throw Up

My Eyes Are Open

 

Digging Deeper & Deeper

Revealing A World So Incredibly Sick

Disease, Corruption

And They Seek To Go Steeper

 

Head Pounding

Heart Racing

Stomach Curling

Tears Streaming

Mind Raging

Eyes Hazing

Foreheads Blazing

Ears Ringing

Anger Seething

Soul Aching

Body Shaking

Fits Fleeting

Stomach’s On Fire

Can’t Sleep

Can’t Eat

Tossing & Turning

Over & Over

 

The Regular Way Loving Lies

 

Wake Up, Just Another Day
Trudging Through the Mire of The Regular Way
Minding Your Own Business
Just Doing Your Time
All Seeming to Be Perfectly Fine

Stand Up, Keep Waiting in Line
Keep Believing the Lie That Eventually
“My Time Will Be Mine!”

Sleep In, Just Another Stay
The Rat Race is Over, Now is Your Prime Day
Kicking Up Your Feet
Reclining in Your Seat
Paradise is Living Life on A Dime

Sit Down, Keep Watching the Clown
Keep Believing the Lie That Eventually
“My Life Will Be Mine!”

Is This the Way Life is Meant to Be?
You’re A Prisoner, & You Don’t Even Know It
Now’s the Time for Your Appeal
Why Endure Reality if it Isn’t Real?
Trust What You Feel

The Distance Between You & Heaven is in Your Mind
Look Inside, There’s Joy to Find
Stop Shutting Down Your Heart
Where Everything Starts
It’s All in Your Grasp
Forget About the Past
To Our Father, Your Eyes to Cast

Soon You Will See
Damaged, You’ll Agree
Manipulated, Obviously
Screwed With, Certainly
All for The Dollar Collar

Beaten, Never Ever
We Are the Winners
They Are the Losers
The Rulers of This World
Every Detail Controlled
But Only For A Short Spell
Loving Lies, Loving Lies, Loving Lies, Loving Lies
Lies Have No Staying Power
Soon Crumbles from Their High Tower
Will Crash Upon Their Heads as They Cower

Outpour

 

The Desire to Tell
And Even Yell
Reaching Out
No One About
Preoccupied Priorities
Take Seniority

The Desire to Shout
But Have No Clout
Against an Authority
Posing as High & Godly
Struggling to Be Free
Hoping Others Will See

The Truth is Too Terrible to Be True
The Truth is Too Terrible to Be False

Memory Restored
Beckons More
Stuck in Shock
Against the Clock
A Secret Story
Is the Key

Without a Podium
This Unsung Anthem
Has No Face
Disappears without Trace
Gone Long Before
Any Real Outpour

The Truth is Too Terrible to Be True
The Truth is Too Terrible to Be False

A Sincere Implore
Won’t Expect an Encore
Labeled as Crazy
Definitely Not A Maybe
Few Will Believe
They’ve Been Deceived

Reality Calls
Writings on The Wall
Few Listen
To the Admission
Shrink in Your Fears
Of Your Peers

The Truth is Too Terrible to Be True
The Truth is Too Terrible to Be False

To the Average Mind
Everything is Fine
While Corruption Surmises
Intricate Devices
Unfortunate Sums
With War Comes

Truth Eludes
But to Those Few
Who Know the Signs
Also Know the Times
They Are Ready
Ever Steady

The Truth is Too Terrible to Be True
The Truth is Too Terrible to Be False

Pandora’s Box
The Unthinkable Unlocks
Nightmares Invade
Horrors Pervade
Tight Lid Flung Open
Speak the Unspoken

The Hidden Revealed
Secrets Slowly Unpeeled
Minds Will Un-Reel
Nausea Most Will Feel
Paradigms Scattered
Lives Shattered

The Truth is Too Terrible to Be True
The Truth is Too Terrible to Be False

Transition Unavoidable
Will Be Undreamable
The Price is High
Higher Than the Sky
Most, in Surprise, Will Wonder Why
The Other’s, in Awe, Will Desire to Fly

Regardless of Your Disposition
There Will Be No More Allusion
Innocent Prisoners No Longer Caged
Will Always Be a Good Day
The Truth in its Entirety
Will Always Set You Free, Completely

The Truth is Real
The Truth is Not False
You Might Have to Check Your Pulse
To Make Sure You’re Not Dreaming
Your Soul Might Be Aching
At the Sight of a New World Making

But in the End
This World of Pretend
Will Be Forgotten
And All the Rotten
Will Be Made Anew
No One Will Be Blue

No More Tatters
But Rather
Hearts Will Be One
Virtue Never Again Undone
Hope of a Bright Future
For Every Single Creature
All Good Will Be in Store
But Only, and Only, After The Outpour

Solace

 

The heart knows what the heart wants
Every minute, it’s promises ceaselessly taunts
Peace permeating every cell
Calm nurturing every swell

The deepest character unchanged
My soul cannot be rearranged
The longing for solace remains

The desires of the heart denied
Every structure contrived
Solace unseen
Tension continually mounting
Endlessly bounding & hounding

I must remain believing
I must rise above
Grasp peace like a dove
And soar like an eagle
Readying for battle

Pain is my constant companion
In my ear, always naggin’
About the deficits in my life
Of the ripping, relentless strife

Even still, the thirst cannot be quelled
The desires deep inside, continually yelled
Truth and honor must be upheld

The desires of the heart denied
Every structure contrived
Solace unseen
Tension continually mounting
Endlessly bounding & hounding

I must remain believing
I must rise above
Grasp peace like a dove
And soar like an eagle
Readying for battle

Until Solace is Won
Solace will be Won
Solace & I Will Be One

No Conversations

 

Speak, Though No One is Hearing
Write, Though No One is Reading
Create, Though No One is Viewing
Converse, Though No One is Being

Press On
Move Forward
Run Toward
Keep On Keepin’ On
The Writing is On The Wall
In The Shadows Big & Tall

No Conversations
The deaf are dumb
And the dumb are many
Even in the land of good and plenty

No Conversations
The blind are broken
The broken are bound
True Freedom is no where to be found

Look, Though No One is Seeing
Give, Though No One is Taking
Love, Though No One is Engaging
Fight, Though No One is Waking

Move On
Gaze Forward
Sights Toward
The Straight Horizon
With Battleships at Full Sail
The Great Divide will Soon Pale

No Conversations
The lame are listless
The listless are prisoners
There cease to be any warriors

No Conversations
The dead are sleeping
The sleeping are weeping
For a greater, though unbelieving, reality
