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.

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.

Crashing waves

By
I’ve been hankering, I’ve been lacking  I’ve been trying to mask needing you  With every puff, every sip, every body I’ve been trying not to carry the weight of the world It only awakened me to deeper truths  Seeing it all and never doing anything  Endeavoring to shed light, trying constantly. We knew the world, we understood it. I wanted to build a fortress for us I wanted to build my life around you. But that obstacle tore us apart  I fell in your absence I fell into the universe and lost myself in spirituality The more I tried to run away from my destiny  The more I tried to fight being in the present  It only awakened me to deeper truths My higher self, my soul spoke to me. It revealed many but one, one was constant that I need you, that I needed my anchor  I’ve been through so much pain  With life turbulences and storms  These growing pains, these aches  They made me fight my true nature  Not to deny any aspects of me...

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...
