Self-Expression

I’m looking through my own soul,

to the other side… that side that holds all the things I try not to see.

I finally have the clarity to view myself.

I see the many patterns of my life that were

programmed and set to repeat…

created by lies, which formatted mental ties,

in the form of chains tying me to my own future demise.

But now, my change is no longer the same.

No more buried pain, which has all been released with a tear.

My heart no longer flies from fear.

The colors of life have become more vivid.

I’m waiting, always waiting, for my moment to come along.

The rest of what I want from life must be close because

this feeling is getting strong…

Distorted Visions

Alone, at the beginning of my end,

preparing for the worst. Falling backwards

through this life is my curse.

I hear silence, and I can speak it in reverse.

My words fall out of my mouth in slow motion.

Butterflies neither soar, nor glide… they just

merely exist at the mercy of the winds current.

My distorted dreams have become truths.

Flowers bloom below dirt, and above ground grows the roots.

I shut my eyes tight in hopes of escape.

Tirelessly I’m struggling to be free, which
