Gray Sky

Vines slick, snaked under
Gray, sullen sky
Bitter sea of tangle
Labyrinthine
Coiled masses, crawling
Into your mind
Burning lake is calling
Mesmerized
Can you see me, Father?
One more shadow on the shore
Lost in the land of all those
Waiting to die or be reborn
Flames rise before you
No turning 'round
Enter crimson water
You can't drown
Extend your hand
To one of the fold, beckoning
Extend your hand
An endless cycle, repeating

Obey Fate

I saw the sun rising
It shone so brightly in my eyes
I labored, endeavored
With no concession, it subsides
But I’ve found I’m forced to try it
Only way to obey fate
And I keep falling farther
Just the same as you, no escape
I can’t hide from the forces that drive me onward
Just the same as the rest, I’m trapped
So don’t assume I’m happy inside
I see the sun setting
Same view, my head down in my hands
I create, generate
No recognition, as it stands
But I’ve been confined in bounds
By purveyor of my destiny

So little time remains in this place
…Sluff off the years of false skin…
Where I can't hear you calling my name
…Weight of the world has lifted…
Gates shut to my thoughts have come unchained
…Eyes turning red, pulse racing…
Inside a room where nothing can change
…Leave it behind for shadows…
Once was a time you'd join me
Free of the shackles holding
You in this shrinking prison
Die underneath a mound of
Chains
Words written in dark, exposed today
…Genius anticipated…
Wither in light and disintegrate
…Reset, zero everything…
Once free you die

Underneath

I crawled through life
Seeking a place to hide
Crippled from inside
Spent all my days
Avoiding everything
That could end in shame
So wasteful!
What am I?
Regretful!
What am I?
A number!
What am I?
Lost underneath…
I walked through life
Setting my pace behind
Those with grand designs
Waited and frowned
Afraid to forge ahead
Safer to be led
Self-absorbed, self-denied
Turning a blind eye, but…
I am not your slave!
