The Chronicles Of A Day Stranded In Nature Part 5 Resist Even Out Here
Resist... resist with all my strength
Sometimes i find it hard to resist
I find myself thinking thoughts not be thought
It seems that to not think in this way makes my mind twist
This battle has been fought
Many times before
Yet the thoughts that are there to abhor
Not to surrender to... they're pleasurable O
As i grind my toes inside my shoe
And steady my jaw I resist the urge
And thoughts of the other... I wish to purge
These thoughts of any candidate for my wife
The one with which i spend my life
I must resist even when I rest
And I cannot let my guard down even after a hard test
They plague and pervade my mind
Though I like these thoughts... I still must find
Some peace from them, because for me they
Often are evil... how fey
Resist...resist... with all my mind

The Chornicles of a Dark Heart Part 11 Glass Prison
safety glass... I'd say the worst invention ever...
making it was such a pointless endeavor
but its too late now, now I'm trapped... cursed to look outside...
outside my glass prison, and wallow in the pain and lies
love withheld will kill me if I don't do it, for i cannot break
break this glass, not even with a hammer, this prison is no fake
its the real deal and I'm trapped in this glass... o it hurts it hurts now
People look at me, see the misery, the stereotype they wonder how?
how did this happen, haha where's his god today
He's right here I yell while trapped, but they scoff he not here hes away
what do I really believe? NO.... no... hes always there
he will get me through this... though i might lose my hair
lose......lose.... lose it on the rope tied taught...

Take My Life
I think that we've come to under-estimate the phrase
Take my life
It carries so much weight?
Take my life
It means kill me
Take all that I have
Take my life
It means everything I am, everything I was, everything I will be
It's all yours
Take my life
It means surrender
Absolute surrender
Take my life
It means it's honestly not yours anymore
That you can't make your own decision anymore
Because it's not yours to live for yourself
Take my life
It's the strongest phrase I think we use
yet it's severly underrated
Take my life

The Chronicles Of A Day Stranded In Nature Part 2 Ground Zero
Shells exploding all around
Only one audible sound...
The sound... the booming sound of war
Not clashes of swords, praised in ancient lore
No i talk about the exchange of gunfire
One side shooting the other sometimes not knowing why
They know only what told. Whether it be from a liar
Or porpagand, they can't tell al they know is die
Either die or kill
March up this hill
Fight, shoot, reload, shoot again, kill, hear
the screams of allies and enemies together, who shed more than a tear
Allies and enemies dotted with blood
Death in their faces
When each side goes to pick up their own
Not one man can tell apart races
Enemies and foes and allies and fellows all
dead... all alike, not a man can tell
One bloodied body from another, no more fell
Is there no mercy... none, not in war

Dreamed
She's only my dream girl in my dreams
or so it seems
she's everything i could ever want and need
when i don't need it
i cannot even fathom where this love can lead
it must be a dead end, because its all imagined
its all an illusion
you don't see my pain
turn a blind eye to my shame
don't see- see i need
don't see all i want is love
you can't see the importance of my implications
I'm subtly crying out for help and justification
of my feelings and dreams
my dear, end the screams
but alas she is so perfect when i fall asleep
i have to wonder do i love an idea?
but i see her, i see my dream girl within her
i feel my dream is within reach and yet
do not fret

All That I Did
How could you know just all that I did?
I did it all for you
I dressed like a loser
I acted obnoxious and put on a man
a mask, its all an act, I'm a poser
I do what I can
to deceive you
you fell for it and now you don't know who
who I really am inside
I have done well to hide
How could you know just all that I did to keep
you from loving me, and now I'm half a man I creep
about in the back of your head, leaving you to wonder if there's more
now you think you know me
but you don't know me, you can't see
how could you ever know just all that I did
did to save you from loving me, my dear I hid
hid myself from you, for your own good
how could?

Mundane
The definition
Normal
Just a rendition
Of average life, boring enough to lull
You into a sleep of mediocrity
Settling for second or third best, because it's easy
Not having an opinion just being unstable and breezy
And silent like the wind... that's me
The kid that's just there and then
Then just gone, no more
Not something to abhor, but worse- unknown
Talent not shown
Intelligence, not shown
Character, not shown
Promise not shown
And stuck with mundane
Stuck without a chance to prove
Just who
I am, because of silence, because of pain
But one day I'll show them, who I am one day

Real (love)
REAL!
well lets see
now its just you me
we are here
here in each others arms my dear
me whispering words
you whispering more
can you guess as people stare and pass by in herds
one guy walks by david finally you got a score
we dont care
i just hold you tight and softly stroke your hair
you respond with smiles and hold me tighter
and i try closer to you and you closer to me too
we giggle like newlyweds
it seems we are in each others heads
knowing what we are saying whether we hear it or not
i love you my dear.... consoling words like these
as i tickle and tease
you and you laugh and blush next to me
and we hold each others hands happily

The Chronicles of a Dark Heart Part 20 To Start Again
Here we are
once again stuck in the tar
suppressing feelings, fighting myself, and yelling rar rawr RAWR
now i have to get over her
and not be tempted by her allure
I have to destroy feelings of love
cage myself in my prison like a trapped dove
only this time i won't fly
this time i wait until i move on or die
i will put myself back in that cage
this time not building up rage
not gonna turn the page
gonna stay
in conundrum, imbroglio and debacle alike all so fey...
i start this chronicle yet again
as i'm locked in my emotional pen
back to square one nay square negative one
back to where we started, the battle far from won
even back tracked a little and lost some ground
i may not be found

If you're not the one
If you're not the one...Then why does your smile make my day?
If you're not the one...Then why is it so hard to keep away?
If you're not the one...Then why do i dream of you at night?
If you're not the one...Then why are you so precious in my sight?
If you're not the one...Then then why do i feel so?
If you're not the one...Then why is it so hard to let go?
If you're not the one...Then then why does our distance hurt me?
If you're not the one...Then why is that what my heart tells me?
If you're not the one...Then i don't know what to do....
If you're not the one...Then then why can i never imagine a life without you
If you're not the one...Then why do i cry without you
If you're not the one...Then then who?
you're the one.... i know its you!
If you're the one.... why is it so wrong to love you?
