The Fall of the Pessimistic

Darkness rises, fuels you
You feed off it
Prevent the consummation of that which is good
Resist
Allow amity to flow through the veins
To define the soul
To be numb is to submit
The darkness will take hold of the weak
Remain strong
Ascend to your right, keep it contained
Be happy, for the first time in your life
It lies within you
Resist

The Cycle

The nemesis of my enemy
Ouroboros for eternity
Understand the meaning of
That which has none
Try to comprehend the
Irrationality of it all
Mistaken for an act so
Pure it is tainted as
The ruined remains
And sanity is lost

Nothing

To feel nothing but know
That you still breathe
Is enough to be alive as long
Your soul courses
Darkness restrained but
Not caged
A fine balance, scales
Tipped slightly to
The other side
We’ll be there soon

New Born

Casing cracks
Wings are flexed
The new light burns
Fresh air intake
Crawl then stand
Look up for the first time
Focus on the new beginning
Walk forward, don’t look back

Me, myself

Understand the meaning
Of that which has none

When the fire has consumed all
And the ashes are all that remains
Stand proud and tall
The burn from the stars
Has proved worthwhile

Dreams

Look upon your fractured dreams
You don’t notice reality until you wake
Caught between that bad place
And the pleasure you are pulled from
A snapshot of a false memory
Feelings echo so real
They outstay their welcome
Perhaps you regret inviting them?
They will leave, maybe
Just give them time, force them
The choice lies within
But who makes the decision?

Ascend

Nothing changes
The more it remains
Feelings come through in waves
A tempest storm of emotion
Battering the soul to the floor
Rise, fall and rise once more
Reach for Heaven and risk the burn of the stars
The fire of Hell scolds much worse.
