Beginnings

Parent Directory


"I awaken without warning, a better man has seen fewer days, be honest within yourself, decide what you can not control, purest evil, in its simplest form, comforts you, in the dark, the strange angel bird cries, rendering her heart cold and dead, no fear is all that remains, nothingness is what was taken, withdrawn from the well, tapping with everlasting love, spreading these wings, together, its superficial visage, meanwhile I am tired of sitting, and have been fucked over by waiting, decend upon me now"




"Poor creature, is this my undoing, how could I have shunned your eyes, hidden you from the truth, it is my turn now, to mend my happenings, open your eyes, see this reality, this false illusion of your true happiness, has melted away, my love still buried within, wishing the hands were turned and it was I who has suffered, I that felt your pain, but vanity has controlled me now, my thoughts are no longer my own, oh poor frightened creature, how I long to be you, no self-pity, not yet knowing your true self"


"Open mind, darkened soul, left this fertile place, with everything in prospect, nothing in denial, these words can not do my aching heart justice, yet I can be confused no longer, the heart wants, what it wants, and mine has been chasing you from the start, ending this angst, fearful of my one true enemy, fearful of myself, spoken clearly, clammy hands, nervous twitches, control my mind, control who I am, and thats just a simple man, asking a simple request, will you be there"


"Desperation engulfs me, my cursed soul, gasps for air,clutching the very thing that once was set free, forever I struggle, as a bird from a cage does, breaking free of these inhumane chains, learning the ways of the sky, learning how to love, my mentor, my friend, you are both, the american dream, oh how I want this to be real, since reality eludes me, my nature is beginning to drag, leaving scuff-marks along this beaten path, my name can not be heard, too loud for your ears, but yet you listen, again I am chained"




"Teeth clenched by fury, feelings of hate roam free, unbound by these unscaleable walls, prisoner of myself, decaying memories, that should not be, echoes of laughter circle, facing the demons, personal, yet strange, alone but social, perverse conversions, let these feelings run loose, edging closer to destruction, facing farther from anything that matters, idol minds produce empty thoughts, without these secrets, death is inviting, with this rage that has fallen upon me, life seems dead"


"Today is never today, yet tomorrow, a glimpse into what we will be, a glimpse of the future, uncontrolled, by human frality, and outrageous law, no walls can hold it, unbound, the passage of time, its mediator, anticipation it's companion, withstanding everything, accepting nothing, today doesn't come around these parts, for I know what it will bring,dragging along, my nemesis, today brings my memories, memories which I anguish over everyday, but never have really cared about, today has taken my mind, broken my spirit, and I am forever changed, I am gone"


"Heavy eyes, loathsome heart, simple minds produce simple thoughts, buried deep within these pages, is my once lost essence, my soul if you will, turned inside out, cringing from this wicked life, there is no escape from this monster, the torture is painless, but my skin can still feel, feeling your cold hands, deafening tones shoot out into the night, dark and sad, just like those who have not forgotten, those who can never remember"
