So Sad

My loneliness overwhelms me.
Like a thick smothering cloud of toxic fumes,
The weight of my sorrow pushes the breath from lungs.

Dark emotions consume me.
The bitter cold of loss
Eats away at my once hopeful spirit.

Unfilled wishes destroy me.
Broken from the loss of a dream,
My will to push on has perished.

A Silly Spider Rhyme

To all of those with weakened hearts
With these warning words take heed
Beware the spider's true intentions
Your simple soul falls short to her need

She preys upon your easy heart
In her song she hides her true request
She wants little of your loving words
Her desires outweigh all the rest

Many have fallen deep in her web
Lost forever in her hypnotizing eyes
Few have escaped the pain that she causes
When she finally casts off her thin disguise

Don't cry when the truth is finally shown
Disregard any weak sign of regret
For a warning has been fairly given
To the spider's trap; long been set

Really Live

Within clouds of hazy uncertainty
I wander through this life's mazes
Each path offers an adventure
Some full of heartache
And others full of fire

Unblinded, I always walk forward
A labyrinth of opportunities
Despite the fog that hides the outcomes
All endings have moments
All moments leave a memory

It would be simple to keep to the path.
To follow the rules
To play it safe
But at what cost?
What would you give up?

Choose the maze
Choose to explore the forbidden
Die knowing that you have blazed a trail
Live like you mean to enjoy it

Liars

*** I wrote this one a long time ago, but have never posted it.***

Shallow souls line the roads as damaged corpses without a grave
Their faulty thoughts and half grown truths rot along side their blistering skin
Open blind uninsightful eyes are pecked away by flightless birds who wish to see
Creeping along seeking out those demented lives that still hold a breath
Their answer is to destroy those who step over others
to feed off what starved so many
to be full of what the dead, in life, never gave

Come to Me

I am in the mood to be rescued. Pretend to be my gallant knight and ride into my world on your brilliant white steed. I could care less if your intentions are pure or if you feel strong and brave; fake it. It's not your truth that I require, but rather your strong open arms. I'm tired of having to coax the victor out of you. Make me feel adored, worshiped. Show me that in me exists what you need. Toss your overused recycled words out the window and demonstrate your power to enchant me.

Take a Number

Everyday my hearts hardens a bit more. Soon you'll be like everyone else and what you say won't faze me. Those frothy feelings of love and hope have passed into the shadows to be replaced by more shallow indulgences. Never more will you be that grand illusion that followed me through life. Your role has now been reduced to just another entry on my list of life's adventures.

Shut Up

Don't bi_ch to me about the cage you've placed yourself in. The bars of steel did not grow there overnight. Years of keeping quiet and acting as a doormat have given you that place of confinement. It's so easy to just complain about what is wrong and what you wish had happened. It actually takes some balls to do something about it. Quit wagging your tongue and take some action. Step out of that white washed comfort zone of yours and genuinely make some sort of attempt to lead an interesting life. If that is not a choice you are willing to make, than just shut up and enjoy the world you have created.
