Writings

Brief

Knowing how short this life be,

should give us all perspective.

So we can see,

be more protective.

Of what,

we.

Are and,

have this shot.

At being truly free,

we are just grains of,

Tiny sand in this eternal hourglass.

this was an experiment.

Do We All Die?

So this is my life now

Just waiting to see what wash ashore

How many pages have i tore

To find the words im looking for


Leave it to hope if theres any to find

Scribble a little figure on the blue lines

Exlpore the foundation of your mind


Let the time guide you

Find yourself in a lost temple

Or a corporate office

But dont forget whats in the back of your mind


And when it finally feels like time,...

You Only Live Once

You only live once

So don’t miss your chance

Feel all the feelings

And try all the things

Don’t get caught up with others

You are perfect

Just the way you are...

Anew

When someone is born into the world,

A joyous occasion is gently unfurled.

For the family now blessed with more,

And the kind souls who open the doors.


As children grow and take their flight,

Family is there, a steady light.

They lend a hand when struggles appear,

And comfort when sadness draws near.


But as they age, they soon must see,

That leaving the nest is part of the plea.

The homes they’v...

We Only Live Once

We only live once

Why spoil the chance

Be who you are

Seek opportunities

Make a new friend

Live while you can

Don’t let temptation

Distract you from you

Be who you are

It’s the best thing for you...

Forests

Deep amongst the trees,

where the leaves flee.

Tall branches reaching the skies,

low flowers attracting bees.


Lies a single headstone,

of someone who was shone.

someone whose silences was cries,

a spirit left to atone.


Birds visit this carved piece,

during spring bringing suns peace.

the animals know who lies,

and whose life did cease.


Returning to the earth,

so they can learn rebirth.

the soil...

Soon

Rules that bind us

People who steal trust

The hearts you lose

The people you choose


You can pretend you can't see

Whom all who scream in glee

As the souls get ripped apart

That is only the start


The heartbreak feeling

The hearts they're stealing

People who know

Are too afraid to show


In short sentences they say

The things that make us pray

You know it will be over soon

You are locked inside o...

Naught But Mortal

Time in life

Is fleeting,

And the strife

Keeps on repeating.


So all I know

And all I can say,

Is to keep going slow

To get through each day.


We are naught

But mortal,

Can’t get caught

Up in some magic portal.


Someday,

Well all die,

Don’t know what way,

Don’t know why.


Stuck in life’s ways,

Stuck here to die,

Counting down the days,

Never knowing why.


Soon enough,

We’re all gonna die....

Mortality

Mortality

The thing that we dream of

But hard to reach

Only in fantasies

A blessing to the soul

But dangers await

See the times pass

Your friends dead the world change

Or so we seek

Afraid to die

But how will we survive

We shouldn’t be afraid

But let death come to your aid

Death comes to all of us

So instead of pushing back

Let it come to you instead...

Are You Ready

Time is ticking,

Though you don’t notice.


The sand is falling

Through the hourglass

It sifts through your fingers

Landing in a heap.


Your life is being drained,

Everyday you’re a little less you.


The grim reaper is coming

Closer and closer

Until he’s standing over you

With a scythe in his hand.


You open your mouth,

It’s almost time to say goodbye.


The reaper lifts his scythe

He’s ready

But th...
