Stuck
I dream of fleeing
sprinting, leaving
my ears hearing freedom ringing
my voice shouting, singing
my head thinking this must be
a dream I'm living
my heart giddy, gleaming
Until my feet get so heavy
I stay on the same ground
my heart screaming
mouth making no sound
Squander
Steadily walking in the same place
keeping up the same pace
pretending we aren't stuck in this
same daze
walking while going nowhere
knowing it's a mistake
Violent Rain
Oh, what a mess I have become
sitting in my storm as the flooding runs
what do you do when you’re sinking steeply
in the hurricane of words that
hold your tongue
Cycles
I’ve hurt everyone I’ve ever loved
they have all have hurt me
the love we learn is
the love we repeat
Fear
We all have little monsters who
live inside our heads
they build fortresses of fear
we sleep in like beds
Walking paradox
I’m either the angel of sadness or
the queen of madness
I rarely live in grey
I am the beaming, blinding light
and blacker than your darkest night
Flame
When hell visits you
some people will watch you drown
in the fire, trying to escape
pretending not to smell smoke as
you stand ablaze
