Colours
If you close your eyes you can see more clearly
The yellows are brighter
Ray's dancing on your skin
Pulls you head tall.
The smile is enviable.
Reds are deeper
Friendships irreplaceable
Love undeniable, invanquishable
Passion unapologetic
Blues softer
The lullaby pulls you under
The sea takes you away
The fall is boundless underneath the scattered spiteful heavens
Greens suddenly feel like pulses.
It is the beat of the world.
Every moment feel precious.
Life becomes more important than your troubles.
It becomes humbling in the scope of the emerald rock
Grey is still neutral
It is stone and guts
Its solemn, draining
The lift in your face is pulled away with each passing life you honour
Your shut eyes are all that is keeping the tears from pulling the rest through you
Brown is dirty and mucky
How could your adventures not play back through your body in recognition?
The grains of sand squishing in your toes
The spike up your whole leg when you put yourself deep into a carving arc in the snow
Your whole arm is part of a larger vibration clawing your way up the mountain
The even bigger high pulling your insignificance to the top of a very big world
Your enlightened vision falls into your eyelids
You can see only yourself now
Its black
Void, emptiness lays inside for you to craft and mold into whatever you can imagine
Black is space for creation
It is the dreams you see in the stars
And take your whole life to reach
It is also your solitude
It is the loneliness your life is spent running from
The truth you can't accept and therefore won't see
Your eyes are open now
You have seen the shades of your life
How deep you should strive for
The fears you have to face
And only at the end is there white
It is the colour of understanding
For only when you embrace all colours can you realize they are all one thing: purpose
Purpose and purity shine through each of us and scatter into rainbows we chase the rest of our lives until we reach enlightenment and stand tall in the dark void.
Big Shot, Small Thought
Have you ever bigged shot a morning?
Felt a swagger in step
A sing in the shower
The idea of the century...
If the century ended yesterday
But felt dam that idea?
Get a move on!
Big shot
Bring the day on!
All thought
This will be my day
Every sip of coffee is perfection
Roll out the awards for my man!
Like a coffee shop is elemental
I could save the day now
The day can unfreeze now
I am here to seize this splunder!
The universe follows!
Big shot
I have the audience!
All thought
The plates can swirl my head
It's a penny on the road!
Penny!
Now I can have my day
I am victorious
I have taken it all
No one can out bid my will
I will pass that test
Pass that goal
That impossibility
Right!
It will all fall away with my size
Today is my prize
I am wrong!
He thought, not got
Good thing I'm right
All shot, he not
I am practically an engineer!
Then my midterm dropped
Or my coffee worked out
And it all came crumbling down
The power of thought
The happiness of anew go the best of me
It goes to show that feeling the greatness and striking down the day take nothing but the will to be great
Be the big shot with small thought
The joy is always inside
Unit
Happiness is the smallest unit of life
Without happiness, what is it all for.
Smallest.
Happiness isn't money
It isn't even family
The more complex life shapes up to be
The more confusing it becomes
Complexity and fear is unhappiness
They are the scar tissue that holds together the pieces of fragile happiness.
A family is good, strong module to life, but the definition of such a large idea is twisted with expectations
Happiness is never expected
It is shared, earned, and often forgotten
It is invisible until your eyes close
It is a breath with freesh air
A hug from a human
A giggle of a child
Happiness is seeing all and thinking none
Enjoying a parent's support, seeing their connection to you, without ever looking at where the threads begin or end
A moment is the closest thing to a unit of happiness.
It is worthless to the second
Too infinite for a life
But just finite enough to tie yourself to reality.
Black Hole
Black holes are inescapable
A contrasting darkness in the black space
The surroundings might be verging nothing
But the wraith embodies nothing with such density
That weighable void frightens something
It auras light like a shroud at a glance
But in expectance that it too is nothing
Once compared to the hope consumed
Screams of deafening silence
Flashes of blinding, blocking, mass
That all we know exists
Empty, alone, in space
Mirror
Mirror me
It makes my moves
But it’s distant
Unfamiliar to both eyes open
I pull at the edges trying to rip shards off of the identity I face
Frustrated that the mirror know more
That aches my reflections
Pounding too hard shatters chances of my desperate childish complaints of lost
Each shard gives a clue
Makes me clueless how every edge disputes the next
Holes and overlaps lay in my sandbox
Standing digs in glass and staying mocks me
Pendulum swings the eternity of the journey for the dog to sit and wait
For a simple explanation of why and me
That I can’t be one with me
I’m depressed to be alone
But socialize unpopularity
I think big
But do small
I think deep
But talk small quiet insignificance
I hear
But not heard in this big world
Where the workings are small
Yet never decidable
Brave World, Cowardly Voices
A teacher told me that the world is changing
That feelings can be suppressed
Held back with instantaneous gratification
The term old timers refer to a gaming device
Think free
Reflect often he suggests
The system is cannibalistic
Every shadow of truth is manufactured
Sold to convince us of another
Our soul is our acts of chaos.
Endless following is stable and inhuman
Find a reason for purpose that is of your own manipulation
Control your perception of the shadows to fit in your pour of chaos
Jet emotion for the satisfaction of human outbreak.
Individuality is our weakness to fight and our strength to lose.
Is it yourself to consume the riptide of monotonous fitting
Or be bold and flashy in risky screams of passion for a path that all finds crazy.
Tear Drop
Rolling hot tear
Your streak leaves me uncomfortable
I blink and yawn to stretch my eyelids
To rid myself of the salty trail
Uncomfortable with death, with pain
Feeling sorry myself for pity is my problems
Tears drip for movies that hit to close to home
They form from the thought that live isn't priceless
But rather worth as much as people offer smiles
Or as little as hate gestures
A drop flooding memories of all that I know is great
Tears are warm and full of emotion for when there is too much or rather deserted feelings
They are the pride to what I have
And an apology for my frequent misuse of circumstance
The hate I myself spread or take advantage of
Sometimes those tears are my purest self
That flow away as fast as they come
Because after it all drys up, I complain about my uncomfortable salty eyes
A Child’s Glasses
Childism shelters me
From brutal punches
Consequences of my inexperience
Easy is it, to slide behind knights
Teachers and parents hold soft smiles
I'm safe here, I entice to myself
Welcoming failure as a old friend
Yet fear lives close by
Crouching in the shadows
Waiting until society decides
Child, is no longer my excuse
When the wind frosts ears numb
From the toque I should've worn
When society displays rebels
I feel the offset from the norm
What am I when my actions
Aren't of a child
But the irresponsibility of a citizen
The spoken of foreign world
Fearing the inevitable boot in
Society Sells Unhappiness
Society sells dreams
If it's a profiting company
Or social cliques
We are told who we are
What we should elevate to be
Even if the idea is impossible
Even though the effort
Is degrading, unhappy
Resulting in depression and little satisfaction
And never was going to make you happy
But we all fall in line to fit into the 'idea'
I'm trying to find myself
Block out what society whispers
Clue in to my own thoughts
Filter my perception
Because I want to be positive
And truly happy with the truth
Simply understand the truth
Know it
But I follow the line set in words
Perfection
Perfect world
Your hiding from me
Where do you sleep in a place like this?
People grow into morality
Aging ideas but unchanged at heart
Young in my search
I believed suicide was impossible
Now I understand that I'm lucky to see beauty
The perfect world can be easily a dream,
As it can be a treasure
I'm glad to still see green grass
Because the perfect world is more plastic
Than I once thought
Perfect family
Where have you gone?
I left with a red rose
And came back with it weltering
It's not ruined, nor broken
But unimaginable imperfect
Yet in time I have learnt it to be ordinary
I have weathered petals
Like they all have their fallen leaves
There's beauty in the autumn colours
Perfect is the skill of misperception
Happiness is selecting the best to see
I see more clearly now
I wish I was blinder
