Untitled
Anxiety treads water in the ocean unseen
paralyze, anchors around my feet drowning me
put into words oceans disappear quietly I swim in a raindrop
Untitled
Observe the world see through your obstacles, connect
a creative force undiscovered finds a voice embrace your muse
precious to me are my hidden words easy to forget
Untitled
In my mind I designed a bridge across society, escape
a short cut to acceptance, addiction of the social media craze
bullies’ social media encyclopedia, block, delete, power down, repeat
Untitled
Just the sound of a song says your goodbye, haunted by the comfort
the memory set deep enough to destroy every time, yet mine to keep
lonely is the one that walks alone, right one wrong time is the melody
Untitled
So many lost to tragedies end, what brings the fated together
billions on a planet we cannot support, prolong our fight against nature
are we prepared for our departure, our dust will create a desert unimaginable
Untitled
History is not the teacher it promised to be
build walls around the world to embrace our sins in silence, hide
we are to blame when tragedy repeats, turn away as before
Untitled
Rescue me from my own shadows, breath life to my failures
light the darkest moments with simple acceptance
smallest gestures, so natural mean everything, keep me from the edge
