When my mind begins to wander into a place of fantasy and dreams
I am saddened by the overwhelming reality that this is it…
Yet,
From the shadowed corners of my mind comes the faintest of whispers,
“there is still this”
I
It is coming,
I feel it
Let it come,
I care not
I’ll let it
take me away
I’ll go
I’m ready
II
As I wait
the mysteries contemplate
Light is revealed
With it’s final breath
They must know
That I fought
Everyday
Until today
When I knew
III
I am ready
to go
I am tired
I know
The voices
they will say
I failed
Let them think it
I care not
I’m free
Sometimes when I try to make sense, none can be found. I try to listen to my heart, yet it beats alone. I try to listen to my mind, yet that too is silent when my Soul comes searching. One would think they are connected, yet as of late, they are worlds apart.
.
I look towards an emptiness. Barren. Not cold, not dark, not anything.
What do you hear when there are no sounds?
Breath,
Yes.
What do you feel when you touch the ground?
Reality, or is it simply what you believe you’ve found?
What do your senses say they’ve found?
For now
They simply know not,
Or why.
This is my heart.
.
I look towards Life for answers, there are many. Yet, none seem right.
What is Life? If not Death in waiting.
What is Strife? If not happiness waiting to be found.
What is Sorrow? If not the hollowed ground within your heart able to be filled with Joy.
I do believe this, in truth I know this. Yet to know and believe serves little when one is lost.
This is my mind.
.
.
They pain you, your desires. What do they know, these simple emotions,
Hollowed words and meaningless songs
They betray you, your realities. What do they show, they are simply all you know.
One day all will be one.
This is my soul.
.
Worlds apart, yes. Yet they are the same.
What would say,
if I asked you to stay
And be with me
All of me
.
I Scream
Shout, Cry
I Lie
And one day soon,
I shall Die
.
So will you?
Stay, I mean
Until the time,
when I get tired of you
.
Would you tire of me?
With all the tears,
I can’t tell how many years.
For it could be mere days and weeks
I don’t know
I wish I did,
for then you would be
partially free
.
Please
I’m lost
Would you guide me
through this maze
It is haunting and real
And nothing heals
there is too much to feel
.
I rant
.
I can’t imagine where it began
Perhaps in the infinite end
Were you ever my friend
I can’t begin to descend
Until I know
.
This could be it.
This could be the beginning
Than Answer I chase
I’m on the edge of the world
lights coming and flowing
I know I am alone
Who shall carry this for me
if not by me
I know I am alone
.
Not even I
would stay
There is my answer
Tell me now
where you go
when I ignore you
.
Are you alone
within your home
So I can’t see you
.
And while you’re there
do you swear
that I can’t hear you
.
I promise you
forever true
that I do need you
.
The walls crumble and fade
yet there you remain
ever the same
For no one can break you
.
Not I
For I have tried
all the while I cried
I do feel you
.
As a part thats been broken
that part is still inside
no matter how hard I try
cry
lie
Until I die
I will feel
hear
need
and
love
you
.
Be it ever the same
everyday
In the shadows you will stay
until the day
I can truly free you
.
I’m sorry
I was on a long drive the other day, reflecting on my “life”,
all the tears, struggles, complications…
then I saw them branch out to the people I loved…
I saw how it was their lives and struggles which touched me and weighed on me…
my conscience held my expectations… and I felt too guilty to live my life.
Wether it was my father, my sister, my love…
I never wanted to achieve or be happy…
I simply wanted to be there.
My problems and grievances are all my own,
I see that, I feel that, but I have become accustom to that feeling…
and as terrible as it sounds, I don’t really care, I just want it to make sense.
I wouldn’t want to call it altruism. I’m not a good enough person for that. I just want to want to stop worrying. I want everyone to be alright so I can be at peace. I don’t need anything more than peace. Others judge and see not the truth… perhaps if they saw,
perhaps if they could see,
this judgement weigh on me
perhaps then I would be free
of this worry.
Wondering once more, what it is I am asking for. This question or statement on Judgement. Perhaps what I see is simply what I believe, and none of it is or was ever real.
My father was happy. I just saw him as sad.
My sister is not struggling. I just want her to have it all.
Her boys are alright. They wont for nothing, they are loved.
And me? Empathy?
No
Internal apathy
Yes
But once more my thoughts stray… As it began it shall end.
it was a long drive… I continue to reflect on life…
How can we see
What we are meant to be?
As we drift away
To where subconscious plays
At the end of the day
It is in this way
We do see,
We are more free than can possibly be.
It is in this place
No body
No space
In our minds eye
We are truly divine
It is in this present life
We suffer all strife
We learn the lessons our mind holds
We fear not and shatter the souls mold
Exploring the potential
Attempting the impossible
Attracting the infinite
Decoding the reason
Why then this vision
Why then this way
Why then do we forget
In the beginning of the day?
Why does our mind shadow secrets
When the answers are already at hand
it is in the timeless grains of sand
may we never understand
Whether the beginning ends the day
It is in this way
For our mind must pass the test
Leaving the answers hidden at rest
For when they will arrive
Only time and mind decide
For now they shall be
Eternally
infinitely
Patiently
Remaining in dreams
