PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Sometimes I need to sit and compose

Before my mind just explodes

I'm so obsessed with the stress

And now it's set to unfold



I've been told there's a line

Between these visions of mine

And normal dreams although it seems

That ignorance is sublime



And as the thoughts are subsiding

I feel my soul slowly dying

I'm realizing what I'm fighting

Aren't  just illusions in my mind



Cold sweats I confess

Are the least of my frets

As I'm balancing the pain

Between my body and the rest



Come one day I won't wake

Yet I will cease to ache

But I'm afraid of that day

And it's a fear that never goes away



So I'm laying it on the line another time for a sign

Praying to the sky to lift the curses from my eyes

On my knees I bleed and I can't see what I need

I feel entombed and then doomed in this world surrounding me



Another night another ducat

In a place where I can't cut it

They only seem to seek and distort

My words so I resort to "fuck it!"



I've been pushing so hard

And all I have to show are the scars

Hiding the pain in my heart

As my muscles twist into stars



Even though I'm not trying to be

The asshole they see

I keep my secrets so deep

They surface only in screams as I sleep



But my attention is caught

And I'm afraid that I'm not

Able to stable these thoughts

As the demons steal what I've got



With the cross round my neck

Clinching it tight in respect

I bow to my knees and forget

All of the things I regret



So I'm laying it on the line another time for a sign

Praying to the sky to lift the curses from my eyes

On my knees I bleed and I can't see what I need

I feel entombed and then doomed in this world surrounding me



My words may be raw and unbridled

But it's the right I'm entitled

I've been face down on the ground

So long I finally found an idol



I looked up and could tell

That my angel had fell

From grace to this place

Now I'm amazed that she's well



What she sees within me

Goes beyond disbelief

I'm inclined to believe that she's blind

To shine her love onto me



But I am who I am

As the anxiety pans

I understand that I can't

Control the actions of my hands



So as she worries day by day

I'm afraid that I've been led astray

Just don't say it's too late

For me to resolve my mistakes



So I'm laying it on the line another time for a sign

Praying to the sky to lift the curses from my eyes

On my knees I bleed and I can't see what I need

I feel entombed and then doomed in this world surrounding me
