To Find Peace

anger eats away the soul,
Until nothing is left.
Mankind remains,
A husk of itself.
Its true glory,
Never reached.
Only in death,
It will find peace.

Magic

Head pounding,
Heart beating,
Blood boiling,
Breath rushing.
I feel it in my veins,
The world goes silent.
Its slowing down,
And everything is crystal clear.
I know now,
And i wont fight it.
This is my destiny,
This is me.

Life?

Life manifests in things,
That often go unnoticed.
Her humped back,
Akin to a camel,
Roams the desert,
In search of salvation.
The only real thing,
Is the phoenix of hope,
Which rises from the ashes,
Again and again and again.

When?

I am sick of this world,
Of this pointless existence.
We walk through life
As if it has any significance.
We are born, and then we die.
Like a movie, life has,
A beginning, a middle and an end.
And I am hoping,
That the end comes sooner,
Rather than later.

Me.

I am not perfect.
I am not who you want me to be.

I have my faults,
I'm at peace with them.

You ask the impossible,
You ask me to change.

Its not easy,
But I wont give up on me.

I am who I am,
Even if I dont know who that is yet.

I wont change, I will remain,
And you wont stand, in my way.

We All Will Die

We all will die,
That is for sure.
It is the way of nature,
To indicate we have to go.

But let us ask,
Why need we go?
because it is near,
The end of our show.

Every life's a chapter,
And every chapter has an end.
And it will strike you,
But nobody knows when.

Once we die,
What then?
Well hell, if i knew that,
Wouldn't i be dead?

Stone Cold Assassin

I stare at the walls,
Lost in my thoughts.
I don't care about,
Whatever the hell's going on.

I am a loner.
I dont mingle.
I have a heart
Cold and of stone.

Death doesn't bother me.
Pain doesn't deter me.
I know no emotion
Of pity and fear.

Honor holds no meaning,
If it doesn't get the job done.
You ever want somebody dead?
Call me. I am the assassin.

Innocence

Oh wreary traveller,
Hush now and listen,
To the high notes ringing,
So sweet in the air.

Like a nightingale she flits,
From place to place,
A cascade of melody,
Pouring from her mouth.

She picks a flower,
And inhales deeply.
Then laughs a tinkling laugh,
Like bells singing in harmony.

And when her mother calls,
She runs to her,
With child-like glee,
Her face as bright as the sun.

Suicide

So ends another day,
And I'm alive.
I made it through,
Atleast this one day.

Everyday I feel,
The hopes, the aspirations,
Pressing down on me,
Making it hard to breathe.

I feel suffocated.
Staying alive each day,
It seems like a task.
Getting harder and harder to complete.

Sometimes it feels like too much.
I cannot handle it anymore.
I look for solutions but,
Only one comes to mind, suicide.

Hate and Anger In Me

Why is there so much hate
Brewing inside me?
Bubbling and boiling,
Threatening to spill.

Why is there so much anger,
Burning inside me?
Hitting and shouting is,
All I seem to do nowadays.

All around me there are people,
Busy with their lives.
Why does it irritate me so,
To see them?

Is isolation what I want?
But i don't like being alone.
How do i get this feeling,
Of crying all the time to go?
