Shame my community

By

There’s a lot of shame in the community
And It almost killed me to have his lecherous body drain me of blood
As though I shouldn’t be in the water.
Not Everybody wants swim in my community
Or walk across the lake unafraid
There are shakes in the water, you'd think

Why must we give them so much power
Why must you live like a shadow
Hiding from yourself
Selling yourself short of love
Don't let it consume you

So holding my hand is criminal to the biblical eye
Stepping out of my dorm-room is a travesty
Loving me and owning it is a life sentence of shame
Why must you give them so much power
over your soul.
it's crippled  from all the time
it has had to break and bend to please the morally supreme
The self proclaimed righteous
Who over looks himself.

Why must we walk as slaves without chains
Carry the cross that hinders our happiness
Why must we be so shameful
to walk, talk and live in our truth
Why must our sublime not be seen or felt
There's just a lot of shame in my community
And I want to be free of it.

So...
I hope you reach the pressing wall
that only offers you a life of sorrow and self loathing 
or
Happiness and love for life's glory
And I hope you choose self liberation 
I hope the curtains fall and the light strikes the shadow away.
burns the biblical eye into a crust and leaves you soaked in love and happiness
we have been liberated to live, so
just make sure, your happy in this life.

Prayer for reason

By
 Keep the illusion up, let them see purpose. I know you're just there existing. As long as you're breathing, keep that heart beating It don't matter if the muscles on your face won't stretch right It don't matter that your smile is not the same anymore Keep at it, don't give up. Struggle a bit longer You're not dead yet. They see you breathing. They can feel your heart beat. Cold as it is. They can feel your heat, you're not dead. Keep at it just a little bit longer Maybe there's a silver lining just around the corner In this round existence, there's a silver lining just around the corner. Even if you're just surving now, that's all that matters. They are all that matter so live. Live for them, if not for yourself. Love for them, if not for yourself. Do it all for them Maybe you'll find your own in the midst of it all.

Truth Is

By
Truth is you're always on my mind. I haven't gotten over you, not even close. I still stretch out my arm reaching for you at night. I wake up with the taste of your name on my lips. At the most random times I feel the ghost of your touch on my hips. I smile and turn my head, but you aren't there anymore, You're just a memory, a dream turned into a nightmare A neverending nightmare filled with laughter and joy. You haunt me with your absence and taunt me with your presence. So close, yet ever so far out of reach. My reach. Seeing you happy tears me apart and brings me joy, It's all I ever wanted for you, but with me. Only with me. I still wonder where it all came apart, when did I lose you? I don't remember looking at you and not drowning in love, I thought you'd always be there to keep me afloat and weather this sea of love. But now you're no longer mine, you're the wind to his sails. You glide through these torturous waters and I dro

No rush

By
 Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got anywhere to be, slow down. You know there isn't anyone waiting on you, You'll be dancing by yourself anyway, like always. But atleast you won't have to pretend anymore, You can finally let go and lose yourself. The four hours of sleep you'll get are enough to collect the pieces. Just enough to keep a smile on your face. The dark circles are almost invisible when you smile, Who cares if it won't reach your eyes, no one really notices anyway. So take the long way home, keep reality at bay. Just a little longer, fool the world a little longer, Lose yourself in the lie just a bit longer. No harm done. Walk a little slower, there's no rush. You ain't got nowhere to be, you might as well get lost.
