“We saw that there was yet a little more time
to look around and try to walk the line,
but we, the clinically depressed,
socially outcasted, laid to rest
find it difficult to see reason
among situations not so sublime”
“But what you have isn’t worthless!
Take heed and see your value, regardless!
If you cannot see it yourself,
know that someone else sees your wealth!
And on the lowest of days,
let it shine and cut through your darkness!”
“Tis easy for you, the richest of all,
to say such a thing and yet watch us all fall.
But another great mock
hurled towards this lost flock
from such venomous lips.
It is bullshit, oh sir, that I call!”
“INSOLENT ROGUE! To your pain you’re betrothed!
Tis no mystery you wander alone!
With such tightly locked teeth
you trample thousands beneath
and care not for the spirit trying to help!
You bite the good hand and take not the bone!”
——
There are people who are married to misery and that marriage, that bond, can be the hardest to break.

How high must one jump
To reach the invisible bar
Set by those who believe
That you can reach heights
Once thought unobtainable
How high must one reach
To touch the invisible bar
Set by those who believe
That you can touch those
Once though untouchable
How much must one work
To see past the limits
Set by one’s own mind
That doesn’t understand
How others can see
The idea one once held
In the dark padded room
Deemed crazy, unreachable
Unobtainable, as reachable
Obtainable, possible

Sometimes it takes a push from someone on the outside for us to do things we never thought we were capable of and it is those who give us that push that enable the rest of us to change the world!

Some days one often wonders
Some days a thought will take its place
Some days hold high yet another
Manufactured philosophical excuse for lack of grace

Lickety split
This lightning quick slippery shit
Like an orgasm, the thought stops
Makes an appearance for moment as it plops
On to the couch covered in rain drops
You turn your back for a second and listen
As the floor drops
Unaware of what you witnessed
But convinced the presentation
Of inspiration means something
And that something is not to be missed
So you go write despite
No clear direction about where to go
Uncertain about what you know
No idea about what will grow
And praying that you don’t stay up all night

Some things aren’t always as they seem
Look at the stars and allow yourself to dream
Another day bounces by my eyes to be
In another life, you’ve spent another day with me

Another one down
And another one lost
He shot his mouth off too quick
And forgot to count the cost
He raises hell too well
His hell, that smell
Dead corpse, do tell
She hated to hear him yell
His life was her prison
And in his mind was her cell
She knew that this time was her time
Blood splattered paint will tell
She couldn’t take another next time
He watched her as she fell

Take the deeper meaning, whole
And intertwine it
Integrated within the weave
Life, strengthened wisdom’s beget
Evenly mixed among the filler
With grace, so couth
Easily found by those who seek
Life’s “hidden” truth
The supersaturation of lessons
Within life, prominent
To be absorbed by the thirsty souls
Eager to learn, dominant

Quick, baby, scream
Because there’s no time to yell
These rhetorical metaphorics
Have left me numb
Now watch my brain swell
To a size, deemed yet ungodly
Hurry, quick, just try and stop me
Faster before I can cause bodily
Harm to all of my foes
I’ll send them all to the throes
Reminiscent memories
Of my friends they have opposed
But I wouldn’t really do that
Or would I?
These things inside
Eat me alive
When I hear my best friends cry
For this world is filled with cruelty
And to my friends I owe my fealty
No matter how much it hurts
Or how much it’s going to cost me
I promise always
That I’ll serve and protect
Those that I love and respect
And if it ever came down to it
For them I’d offer my neck

Another day, another dollar
I wish I made a dollar today
My ten cents, two cents
I watched my last penny go away
I had tripped and fell
And watched it roll way down the hill
And fall into the wishing well
Never kiss and tell
I just wanted my penny back
Just then my wish was granted
I found it sitting in my pocket
And then it hit me
I ain’t no Davy Crockett
I had the opportunity I was waiting for
But I lost it
I gave up the break I was striving for
But didn’t realize it
Until it was over
The past, too fast, gone
Never even saw it coming
And now I’ve got to move on
