The sky is shadowed in gray Just like the night

A storm is gathering See on the horizon

The day will be tough You can already tell

As wind starts picking up And rain pores down

Of course the sky is actually sunny The storm just in my head

But all I see is gray Todays a bad day

I love what I love. And I love what I don’t.

I love who I love. Even when I won’t.

I see who I am. But I also see it in you.

I’ve been here before. Yet somehow, it’s new.

I am scared for The future

I dwell too much on The past

When I stare into the distant skies The present is passing me by.

In valleys deep where shadows creep, the cries of men resound, With hearts so true, they seek what’s due, in laws and rights profound. Oh, justice fair, beyond compare, your scales of truth we hail, With strength and grace, in every place, your light shall never fail.

From dawn till dusk, in iron trust, your banner we uphold, In halls of stone, your voice has grown, more precious than pure gold. For those in plight, who seek the light, in darkness feel thy hand, You right the wrong, you make us strong, and in your name we stand.

In silent night, a beacon bright, your call can ne’er be stilled, With every pen and voice of men, your spirit is instilled. So lift your head, with courage fed, let justice be our guide, For in her name, we shape the flame of truth that cannot hide.

Through storm and calm, she holds our palm, a shield that none can breach, With wisdom old and courage bold, her lessons shall we teach. To every soul, with fervent goal, let liberty be just, For in the end, to all defend, in justice we shall trust.

You splash into my life effortlessly Setting like a stain

I don’t carry Tide To Go and I won’t immediately put myself through the wash I let you fade naturally

You’ll always be there in my fabric But you don’t ruin my outfits anymore

I hear the sky start to rumble As I step outside.

While I dance through the pouring rain Another curses the storm,

Wondering, how is the host of all evil Still the home of all that’s good?

Life comes to the earth with a purpose, Fight for the survival.

Life comes to the earth with a purpose, Fight for what they want.

There are too many things along the way, Stay focused on yourself.

Never try to give an excuse, Will be no success.

Forward or stay is what we faced, Learning to get the answers.

Those negatives are holding you back, Overcome is not easy.

What the mind thinks is the key, Heaven or hell one thought.

Already know what the answer is, Don’t want to think.

Immersed in happiness to forget the real, So ease, hard to get out.

Other people go forward, I stay here.

To remembering the past, I love it.

Stay is not backwards, Is forward.

Once the purpose is found, Potential outbreaks.

A single drop of doubt from the vat of worry, Spills into my mind’s eye. There it conjures strange images, Lies I know them to be.

And yet I’m still cast asunder the drift, Plunging towards the trench A cavernous space hidden from my wandering thoughts For this exact reason.

Passing through the fissure, I feel my lungs Filling with dread. The pressure squeezes my eardrums together Until they ring.

And ring they do, with cries Of agony wrenching my soul. I throw playful memories behind my eyes Meant to placate my heart.

Alas, it is too late: my veins rush to pervert them, Twisting what was said, What was heard, what was seen until they bear No emotional resemblance.

A single drop of doubt is all it took For my mind to lose its head.

Lying deep within the cold concrete cities, I sigh, I doze, I pray.

I dream of an enchanted forest filled with poets, I paint, I read, I write.

The screaches of cars ignite the forest, fire spreads, I work, I eat, I sleep.

The Calendar flips, time wrinkles weathered faces, I blink, I step, I jump.

Return to the forest, it is rich and bright, it is eternal, I am free

You may underestimate my knowledge, My case is closed.

You merely tolerate my existence, I’m your aging mold.

Your bubble of breath- readily available oxygen; I combust from exposure.

You walk with eyes closed and a thick skull, My lips sewn in closure.

You’ve unraveled my stitches, destruction is Your type.

I will disappear, as you wish, without sparing you a Goodbye.
