Sleep had long been my friend

There was no start and no end

Just endless nothingness an abyss

It was just me there was nothing else

Until one day suddenly

There was a light before me

I had never experienced this before

At first I tried to no avail to just ignore

Each day it grew warming me

Days after that I found myself smiling!

Then I start seeing others pass me by

All these years I thought i...

My long lost Buzzard,

Your voice appeared to me again in a dream. I was afraid, believing you were only there to wilt my feathers once more, preventing me from ever flying again. I was frantic, convinced hiding from you was the only way to be freed, but you still found me. I’m unsure as to why you are searching for me when you scolded me and threatened to never show my face to you in this lifetim...

In these empty halls I dwell

Looking at pictures on the wall

Thinking about the stories I was told

And conversations I can’t clearly recall

I run my hands along the wallpaper

And consider all I’ve held in my hand

Things I was told to let go of

For reasons I’ll never understand

As I approach the door, I hesitate

Leaving makes me feel insecure

These halls are so familiar

I feel safe and somewhat...

Deep in slumber, living dead; walking with eyes wide shut. Everyone is asleep around me, but I am in limbo. Body is down , mind is awake. Mind blowing. Walk the path , keep the pace. Rubbing my eyes to the sound of the alarm. Those who are asleep are dead. Judging the waken paths of the living. Seeing the light of day and feeling the warmth of the sun. The day calls me and I am awake. Experienced ...

The first light touches the edge of night,
A fragile glow, a soft breath of bright.
The world is still, as if it knows
The secret in the dawn that softly grows.

Eyes that once were heavy with sleep,
Now flutter open from shadows deep.
A heart that wandered, lost and worn,
Feels the stirring of something reborn.

The air is filled with the scent of change,
Like rain that falls and starts to rearrang...

The alarm clock screams, I drag myself to the sink, toothpaste minty, the bus a blur, then desk and dreams.

The alarm clock screams, I drag myself to the sink, toothpaste minty, the bus a blur, then desk, but wide awake.

All night, a blur of screens and laughter, goofing off, the hours lost to games.

The alarm clock screams, a frantic rush, no time for the sink, the bus a blur, then desk, and heav...

i am still

my body not consumed by touch

i am cold

frozen in time my eyelids glazed

i am forgiven

for my mind rests at ease in the stillness

i am awakened

for i know now how it feels to feel nothing at all

i am safer than most

in my cold body i can guard my heart

i am reaching

for the light that seeps through the trees

i am creation

meant to survive the treachery of the sea

i am warmer now

The daylight comes creeping into my room, flicking on my senses.

My brain begins to rattle.

I wait for the fog to settle on my nerves, to dull my happiness.

It never arrives.

For the first time in eternity my mind is free from all the baggage, the pain that likes to latch onto every thought.

I can finally breathe again....

Literally I Awaken every day,

But other days I lay,

No motivation to mingle with my friends.

But i try to make a mends

Of the world I made,

The world I was born into,

The world I sew together

Piece by piece every day.

I just need that one awakening,

That one innocent thought,

Where I lay,

In the light of day

that inspires me to carry on,

Maybe that one song,

That one lyric,

That I hold dear to m...
