Identity Crisis
What makes you you? The things you’ve seen? The lives you’ve touched? The where you’ve been? If you woke without your memories, Tell me, who, then, would you be? Would you still be you? Could you ever know for sure? Or would you relinquish all that came before? Know this: Who you have been is…

Third of Three
I never met you, But I miss you, You don’t exist, But I kiss you in my dreams, I set aside a portion of my heart, Swaddled it in endless love, And engraved it with your name, But you never came to be, And so I miss you. Destined now to grieve eternally, For all…

Geek to Geek
Don’t let anyone tread on your dreams; They’re each graciously worthy of light, Don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t; Because you can, just as long as you fight. Stop doubting what lives in your heart; It knows so much more than your mind, Stop thinking that emotion is weakness; There’s great strength in…

Foreverie
Once upon the daylight blue, A longing was drawn in vivid hues, And sat lucid in her reverie, For times that she and he once knew. Painted on her memory’s eye, Thoughts flittered like a butterfly, They tickled at the brink of truth, And swaddled her mind in a dulcet lie. He no longer walks…

Ecstasy’s Exorcism
The devil defiled my dreams one night, Sowing seeds of sin, Scenes of sex and sodomy Wailing from within, Fickle flesh and phallic forms Entwined in evil embrace, All anguish and adultery, No glimpse of God’s good grace, I stirred in sweats of sordid sorrow, Reeling in rich remorse: “Dispel these damning demons Father, free…

The Edge
Where do I go from here? Standing at the edge of my future in fear Reflecting my past in my tears? The now presents itself shrouded by a cloak of darkness, Its stealth preventing my freedom, Its starkness inventing the reason that I live without breathing, I dream without sleeping and I’ve stopped without ceasing,…

This Ain’t It
My life’s the wrong size It just doesn’t fit I once had a dream But this ain’t it I prayed that the end Would be worth the long trip I once had a plan But this ain’t it From there it looked sexy From here it’s just shit I once had a vision But this…

Conscious Me
Who am I when I close my eyes and slip to a world of paradise? I am not the she you see by day when desire’s dream has ebbed away, Engulfed in flames of sin I lay, Forgiveness from my God I pray. A wretched soul that claws the wall, At Redemption’s door my footsteps…

Shell
I sit and gaze beyond this realm, My mind is lost in ponder, My physical self is here, a shell, Whilst inner feelings wander. I am not here when you beg my ear, When you long to feel my touch, You see just part of who I am, You’ll never see too much. To delve…

The Dreams
I always dare to dream the dreams But little shards disturb my sleep When reality rips right through the seams And all that’s left are the sighs that creep From lips that tremble with the tears Of wasted hopes and realised fears A stifled cry, frustrated screams My heart is sinking in defeat I always…
