wanting more

how do i overcome these demons

i wrestle

to become a life impacting vessel?

so hard it is to lift people out

of their sinking sand

when i have yet to find my

own solid ground to stand

etched in my skin marks a

time i wish was not

symbolizing how my crippling

mistakes cant be forgot

no matter how much good i try

to paint over it

there was good in my life and i

just want to recover it

ive paved my past with fire

and broken lives

is it too late to reconstruct my soul

to be a hope used guide?

all this feeling down serves to

remind me

that there is a high point that

has a place for me

 

living in time

im living in a time i cant forget

searching for a known secret

i hold not to any regret

so i may live my life and keep it

the memories prove i have grown

scars share only that i have known

a time past the one i thought couldnt be shown

chasing dreams not my own

so now im standing in yesterday’s decision

trying not to relive the same vision

as each day brings a new incision

upon my ways of moving upon only wish’n

 

 

Learning curve

I turn regrets into lessons learned

as each step foreward is hard earned

but when does a student graduate

how many times must i clear the slate?

hard to recover from my knees

with my past always crushing down on me

now crawling in a flurried panic

words of wisdom lost in the static

transmitting a confused confession

no wonder people can’t understand my descression

to not take part of what I’ll soon destroy

even if that means my heart will never enjoy

the simplicity of love that i could win

instead of this life filled of ‘what could have been’…

Frustrated

Anger surfaces to my fingertips

leaving prints to all my sins

screaming at the world to come to grips

venting the battle within

trying so hard to keep clean

as the flip side I continue to fall behind

my life looks like a murderscene

only now its the victim that hard to find

unable to clean the mess with dirty hands

smearing a blend of a bad event

slipping so much I’m forgetting how to stand

is this the only thing my birth was meant

who is to benifit from all the negitivity

as one who jumped into a whirlwind

nothing to sprout from an unsettled seed

try closing your eyes if your considered a friend

you’ll see more then what my heart does

for my only hope is to have hope find a way

into my prayers pleading to the JUDGE

that good times wont rest in peace to a past day…
