There’ll be bloodshed, I swear it.Not a hint of mercy.There’ll be no solace.If history is doomed to repeat,This will be my price for peace,War, squall, and conflict.For the love you’ve stolen,From the innocence you’ve ridden and left behind.I’ll bring a wrath wrapped in poison.This is my promise, my word, my truth. *** My hands are … Continue reading Pledge to Justice
What does one stand to lose, falling into tides where they must choose?When the tests of our youth are more than enough to struggle through...How does one find there way within such a world? A dangerous place; one far from truth.To act and to fail;That'll leave you with nothing.To wait and to gain; Oh, that'll … Continue reading Haunted
To be afflicted by heartbreak's curse.To be dead or left on the wayside, there is nothing worse. Washing into these tides, solemn with regret,Wishing I had not put my pride to the test.There is nothing more to say.What ever happened to us that day? I was once the object of your affection, Now, I'm simply … Continue reading What I Could Not See
As I look into those eyes, I see a way into your heart. A door into this dark space, Where a light can be made; Such a dangerous place, But a worthy escape.It's coming,Somewhat of a calling.I can't say what...But it comes and goes,Like a whisper, an echo, or the falling snow.Somehow, I just know.This … Continue reading Falling For You
Sometime you don't have a clue,All you know is that no one can do what you can do.Sometimes you may feel alone,But that's why you have to move.You've got to find your way, make your place,And do what you do. You don't have a choice.This is your voice.So don't be afraid to speak your mind.You … Continue reading What You Do
There will come a time when we'll have to rise,A time when we'll have to fight,A time when we'll have to do what's right.Despite all that we face,We can't continue to make the same mistakes.We must raise the stakes.We must accept our fates.For this is our conviction, fighting with no restrictions. There's more to this, … Continue reading Time to Rise, Time to Fight
Introspection...Staring into my own reflection,I don't think I've ever felt so lost.My mind obsessing over every loss.The cost of my ambition,The sacrifice of my life's position.What is it that I seek?Is it power or something meek?Finding the words to speak is in no way easy.Either way, no one understands me.I've lost so much,Friends, family, love … Continue reading Introspection
Listening to these words within,My spirit calls like the wind,Whistling to me as I give in. I grasp onto this innate wisdom,And I find my heart ascending,Accepting a life beyond my freedom,A life so holy, my everlasting story,Living for the light's glory. There is purpose in what it calls for,Asking that I do something more.I … Continue reading A Heart So Holy
It's hard not to think that my life has taken such a turn,My pride, my ego, reduced, reformed... Faced with such a dream,I want nothing more than to be seen. Not to speak or to be heard,But to be admired; inspired.Such positive things. As I change, I choose to take this form,To become something more. … Continue reading Steps of Mercy
I once had hoped for a simple wish,Something trivial, nothing more than mere bliss.But as I peer beyond that orange horizon,I can’t help but feel afflicted by a wretched poison. Consumed by my doubts and fears,My loss brings me to the brink of tears.But why? When nothing has yet come to pass. My desire no … Continue reading Poison
