Reality no longer battles perception.
This letter's written to no one.
Sincere,
I sought your truth and divine purpose through myths of revelation.
Guidance all wrapped up in a paper box,
supported only so long as my mind was the enemy.
I could not in conscience hold on.
As we face distress we must not lose heart.
A Greater Foundation

The truth of my heart is like a repressed tale
A censored and silenced story
Repression or restraint, it is a delicate balance
Between bleeding out what will make me drown
And closing in what I cannot afford to spill
Either way, I must cauterize, cauterize the open wound
I'm caught between the feeling of being pulled apart or stuffed into a cell
And if these are the only options
This will always be hell (never-ending)
Though I may still be breathing
Cauterize

Defender
Fighting so hard to be heard
Yet having nothing to say
You talk about changing masses
But forget those close to you
Most of us have given up
On these words that all sound the same
But I am still willing to believe

Like a swarm of flies colliding with a moving windshield
So are our lives on this never-ending road
I have left behind my mark only to be later washed away
And was consumed with the allure despite the inevitable decay
When did the road that I'm on become my only home?
When did this become the one place I truly know?
(I truly know)
A journey making us like weeds
My Only Home

I fought who I am inside
Until I wanted, I wanted to die
Instead of finding balance I found hatred
Consumed by failures and ignoring my own strengths
Pushed out to sea without learning to swim
Or stranded in the desert with no lungs to breathe
With no lungs to breathe
I had almost lost everything
No Lungs To Breathe

All these moments of pain
Must add up to something
Our bodies have been trained to keep it all in
But our hearts still hold on
Some say to release it, forget about your past
Instead we count the cost, it's part of us
That doesn't mean that we cannot move on
It's just a memory of what we once were
Overcome

Your resilience inspires me
Facing tragedies I will never face
Your presence is humbling
To think of all that you have overcome
It took such little pain
For our lives to coalesce
Finding what I could've found in no one else
You bring me through the darkness of myself
And show me that frailty can be turned to strength
Resilience

The storm is coming
And I have a choice
To release the legion
Or lose my voice
Should I scream and plea
For nothing
Or build a roof
Over my head
Tear Out My Eyes

I see no reason to try and be what I am not
If simple honesty moves me, then why should I care?
Others may think I lost my poetic way (I've lost my way)
But I'd rather make my point without confusion
I have failed those who I love the most
And in the process become aware
I have accepted there is so much that I don't know
I have accepted my limitations
It is that knowledge that opens the door
For greater understanding
Unwound

There are days when sorrow seems never-ending
Like the countless roads upon which I've driven
The price of attachment in pursuit of dreams
That I so often can't seem to remember
Yet there are days when beauty cannot be contained
It even crawls out from under ordinary things
A foreigner, no place to go
Holding on, making the most
Of what little time I have
Wasted Words

Each little piece begins to stack up
Now suffering under the weight of my choices
And I hardly recognise myself
Somewhere along the line
There stopped being lines at all
(Whispering silence)
Whispering silence
The subtle contradiction
Compromise creeps in
Whispering Silence
