Waiting for the lights to go outHoping I won’t hear a shoutLooking for a different streamWords unspoken by a dreamDrifting on the silent airWill we ever be getting there?Stale weeks of feeling trappedPeople have started to floutDon’t they see the damage to come?Or would they rather we come undone?Staring at the empty fieldsLifeless roads likeContinue reading “New Normal”

Perfect Escape
Walk into the gardenAll green around meBeyond comprehensionCan’t understand beauty With all of the flowersThe scents and aromasIts like a garden of EdenFeel like I’m dreaming Birds are a chirpingAnd bees are a buzzingPeace overwhelmingBrand new dimension Bounce with every stepJoy from disconnectDon’t want to leave hereNo ounce of fear Roam for some hoursSky filledContinue reading “Perfect Escape”
Loop
And we’re back to that time of the week, story time. Its Sci-Fi, i guess. You can probably guess what the story’s about but I’ll confirm it. The idea is the protagonist is stuck in a loop. One day keeps repeating over and over. He’s trying to break that cycle. You’ll have to read toContinue reading “Loop”
You Won’t Break Me
Call me scum or some similar thingDo you really think I’m listening?Just a voice in the oceanFilled with spite and a dose of poisonNo reason to take your words to heartIf I did that I’d have fallen apart Get a lifeGet a clueGet whatever you want me to Hurl heavy objects at my headYou’re feedingContinue reading “You Won’t Break Me”
Pictured Imperfect
Picture of heresyThe one I keep close to meFree thinking with free thoughtA long way from my last resortUnbridled vision of sad to seeShattered wings carried new diseaseHunting wild with a savage eyeCandies meant to wave goodbyeRising waters will soon claimThe victims unable to exclaimWhirring tones of sullied moonThe dead will be your forever tombPassContinue reading “Pictured Imperfect”
Real Disease
Disease ridden locusts called humanityDo you really think we have superiority?Burning all we can until there is only ashSickening state that we try and crashHide it deep beneath the bloody wallsSad to say you can still hear the crying foolsWe’re all guilty but you won’t agreeToo busy calling for another shot of insanity As apathyContinue reading “Real Disease”

The Road Home
Hi! This weeks story is very different. Not only is it fantasy (OK that isn’t so unusual as the last few weeks have been fantasy too) but also it is not some grand scale tale about saving the world, a species or anything else of the like. Instead, its a simple story in which theContinue reading “The Road Home”
Variations
I beg for you and you beg for meAre we that much different really?Both are right and jointly wrongJust as we prevail and fail to be strongReflections in a non-existant mirrorReality couldn’t be much clearerIt’s like we are some type of cloneThe pair of us even use the same tone Am I talking to youContinue reading “Variations”
All The Same
No one is innocentEvery one is to blameWe all stand by and watchAnd only speak when we feel shame What a state of madnessHow can we remain?Humanity is so shatteredWe refuse to change Spiralling to disasterRotting at the coreGuilty by associationWe all have failed once more Choosing just what suitsRefusing to admitWhat a fake reflectionTheContinue reading “All The Same”
