Confined

Why must you still visit me in my dreams
I know its not her doing but there she gleams
Raised up, I miss her so much
Alone, craving her warm touch
Fate though would not have it
Leaving me alone fate permit
Accepting I am but still troubled
My love has somehow doubled
In your absence I've now realized
Just how I should have idealized
My outward expression of love
Secret esteem it was thereof
In sight and in mind
Your love confined

Breath The Sky

Truth is evident smashing falsehood
Like light to darkness it fades fast
Take part in the diminishing good
Reflect and see the lessons of the past
The journey begins with random curiosity
Innocence lost by influences outside oneself
Take back your innocence with generosity
Forbid and stop the atrocities yourself
Don't leave it be it holds us back
Too much hate, it can't be our fate
This moral decay we must attack
Set things straight, no time to wait
Reach into the dark and retrieve the light
Stifle the words of the misanthrope
Join in this is the human's fight
Reflect and change your scope

Alone And Torn

Stuck in a corner, or so it feels
Struck into dark, my light conceals
Snuck on past, past the repeals
Tuck my mind, depressing ideals

Searching for the will, alone, torn,
I depart inward, alone, torn

My greater jihad, ignorance would be bliss
Nigh is temptation, cast into a sinful abyss
Why is the question, one to reminisce
Cry out for help, somethings terribly amiss

Yearning for the will, alone, torn,
I emaciate away, alone, torn

Dazed by the truth, longing to repent
Fazed by my failure, inwardly I lament
Phased must be this battle, a battle of torment
Amazed if I succeed, I can't circumvent

Womb

To imagine starting as a thread
And go through this life so spread
Moving on to a chewed like food
To think some can be so rude
We become a leech like clot
to grow through all we've fought
We grow a tail and our limbs
Taking it for granted in our gyms
We develop eyes so that we may see
Growing up, wondering who we will be
Gaining the ability to hear
Some turn away out of fear
Being pushed out into the light
Shining is the sun so bright
To think that our first act is to cry
We get to the point and all wonder why
Helpless we are in our innocence
And then given rights of precedence
Some given trials of calamity
Others on paths of amity
