Ask a fanatic about her depression
Ask about drugs and mental aggression
Ask her if it's hard to be totally aimless
To live, without reason, a life that is shapeless
A fanatic will tell you he cannot relate
He isn't forced by boredom to contemplate
The meaning of life, of love, and hate
A fanatic's purpose is clear and precise
Whether holy devotion, or twisted vice
A fanatic is engulfed in passion and drive
He knows that a mission exists in is his life
He works toward that mission, that glorious end
With every dollar earned, invested, and spent
With every second passed in every situation
He finds, in his self, true actualization
From Bin La
So I'm awake, alert, and alone
5 hours from school
Suffering consciousness on my own
Because biology is cruel
Because my biology is cruel,
And my thoughts are unrelenting
Thoughts of productivity,
Of my laziness repenting
If my laziness repented
I'd be awake much longer
Writing, learning, achieving
And making myself stronger
Making myself stronger..
But by whose awful standard?
To get a better test score,
and have all the right answers
Do I want all the right answers?
Do I want to know the whys?
Will I find peace and closure,
and finally rest my eyes?
Would I ever rest my eyes
If I knew why I was here?
Although I didn't try
But so many
One man falls alone
A failure on his own
grasping at the edges
of faithless practices
trying, crying, begging,
to hold on as they slip away
as his fingers wither grey
and the grip he held with strength
is now more than he can take
The principle of willpower
Was always doomed by desire
Like a house built on the sand
In contrast to some incomparably grand
mansion laid on invisible concrete
Now his final fingers are slipping
His mind is filled with longing
longing to return to an earlier era
to when he could save the abused
to wipe away their tears
to hold them through their fears
to show them love exists
to prove they're more than this
His l
Any kind of faith is a struggle to defend;
because faith is a unique and personal trend*
Faith is the realization, the wisdom, the acceptance
That life's inner workings don't make perfect sense
Some think that science has swallowed it whole
As if an explanation were an answer at all
As if it were enough just to know the how
behind every event that brought you down
The thing about faith is that it takes real pain
Real pain to believe that there is an escape
Real pain to see past the black and the white
Real pain to give you something real to fight
Then faith becomes visible to your wide open eyes
And you can decide what has saved you from why'
I can't understand why my heart wrenches in pain
Or what it is at this moment that makes me afraid
Have I fallen so far from any faith in humanity,
that in any bit of fun danger is all I see?
I don't want to see her hurt any more than she has
Not like the rest, like anyone who's needed help
They only sink further and further into a shell
of the beautiful energetic people they once were
Will there ever be a single human in pain
who will recover and regain joy and escape from the same?
My strongest and single overcoming desire
Is to see her succeed and have love and fire.
We had never thought that it would come to this, but here we are.. at a crossroads between a road we know we can't walk forever, and a road we never believed would be able to take us anywhere but over the edge.
Every aspect of our lives has changed more than our old selves can handle, but our new selves haven't quite stepped up to the plate, either.
We look to our left and see the flames licking the shoulder on a beaten dirt path long abandoned by the pioneers and Indians and white flights and semi trucks. A road leading to some wonderful dream unique and specific to each weary traveler. A dream so vague it had to be worth reaching, through
I am blessed or I am cursed
with unbreakable faith
that a life after death
inevitably awaits
Let it come swiftly
I don't need this time
I'm just here to find
The right way to die
I take it all for granted
And I think that I should
Not until I leave
Will things truly be good
I don't need to be happy
I don't need to have things
Only something to stand for
To lessen the sting
Of the pain that I see
And am unable to change
Of all those left wanting
to be freed from their age
Those who desire life eternal,
to be here on this earth
Who hide from their dismal
lack of individual worth
Don't tell me be happy
I won't ever care
Don't tell me to stud
Every day the knife feels more real
I look at my wrist and I see beyond reality
I imagine a release and I can let it all go
Every day the knife moves more away from fantasy
I cry out in my mind where no one can hear me
I scream at my fears and desires and insecurities
Every day I blink and come back to the world I see
I cry out, my God why don't you save me
You who were there when the dark was all around me
Every day I wish for strength and a better me
I cry out for deliverance and no one can hear
Is there no aid now that the dark is within me?
Every day my purpose gets harder to see
The black fills my mind and I hardly can breathe
My beauti
Ever been in the minority?
Where most seem to be on your side?
There's opposition from within
And none of them care what's right
They twist and curse and distort,
Break and wreck and institutionalize
And all that your heart supports
Is masked in their mass of lies
And really you just hate them
Most on your own team
Because those who stand against you
Just want to tear the seams
Sewn by selfish and ignorant men
Who never knew their own beliefs
Those who take up sword and pen
To make a world that's just for them
They give your cause a wicked name
Of evil, hypocrisy, abuse, and shame
They work to cover up the flame
That was made to light up t
They push him far beyond the line
The entire world has lost its sight
Injustice and corruption, spread by lie
He tames the rage but it grows inside
Driven mad by the simple question of why
Why does the world live dead and still get by?
How do all people kill but never are tried?
Evading what's right and ever so sly
They won't escape accountability, not this time
To a deserved death for every crime
As one by one, in his mind they die
From fantasy to reality, come their cries
As each one flees for the gift of life
From his wounds to reality, they all should die
And in the end, his own blood will fly
From torture to reality, Colum
Lately I've been thinking, if the steps
That I've taken were meaningful at all
I'm not sure if my conscience helps me anymore
Maybe faith is guiding me through this storm
My heart feels like it's being torn
By the one who I've cared about the most
Be determined, my friend, as nothing remains constant.
Be careful, so that of which we choose is not our end.
Be transparent, let nothing blind you.
Force value upon that which tarnished long ago:
Dreams too great to ponder;
Lives derailed by slaughter.
Be truthful, the light is still set upon us.
Be righteous, faith isn't false to everyone else.
Be warned, this day is not our blackest.
Deny all our victories,
And forget our only fixation
On all of God's lambs.
Red lipstick stains her windowpane
She’s unbeknownst to lovers' eyes.
Although her soul may ache with pain
One wonders why she never cries.
Her lips they trace a victims face
She’s torn her heart out like a weed.
Although her body rips like lace
One wonders why she doesn’t bleed.
Nightfall beckons her weary mind
She plays in shadows amongst the creeps.
Although the truth she cannot find
One wonders why she never sleeps.
She breathes in a flutter of nervous lust
While her amber skin presses onto him.
To whom the one she can entrust?
Then sadness breaks her body’s whim.
Something is stirring deep down inside
An impr
It's moments like these when it hits me- I am going to die. But not just die, I will die gloriously. So much so that I might not even die at all. They may curse me and spit on me and subsequently destroy me, and there may be no glory to be seen in its occurrence. Though still it will be glorious and dignified in ways that the cause of my death or attempted death screams out just to taste..
Everything's going on and babies still just sit there. They're either happy or sad, oblivious to everything else. It's kind of sobering. I hold her and she has no idea what I'm feeling, how my day was, where my thoughts are at, or anything like that. She's just a freaking baby.
It's pretty cool.
I think I've taken for granted my own view of myself and the world. I honestly believe that whatever I want to accomplish I could just do with some work. But then I see all these people that treat themselves like they're normal or unworthy of something greater.. it's like they have no dreams, and if they do they have no hope for them.
We all know that people were created equal, so why do we exclude ourselves from the broad spectrum of achievement? I see people who live like they aren't meant for anything better than mediocrity, and they really believe it. It's not about friends, grades, or even hard work. They just don't think they're good
Thank ya' kindly for the favorite, sir! You know, I wrote this because I was bored, not because of any forethought! Still, it's turned out to be my most favorited deviation yet!
Oh, I just had some free time and decided to check out some more of your stuff, and it was nice to find beauty with meaning behind it. You don't have to feel obligated to check out mine.
