Silent

 Disconnected,

counting the metaphoric miles

between my world and me.

Struck by the reality

of complete strangers surrounding me.

Disconnect,

don't understand anyone-

but be there,

to be...

Exist for what?

To be me,

or something,

or nothing,

how am I to know?

I've become lost in my existence,

what have I been created for?

Once, I knew the answer,

had a super singular view on life,

well, my view has strayed.

I've humbled myself.

My problems became menial,

and I can't bring myself to care

about the menial any longer.

The world can take my menial life,

and I'd be none the wiser,

as I have nothing left to offer.

I continue to breathe,

but can't understand why.

I don't belong here,

don't know why,

but I continue to be.

Clear Your Mind

Find peace within yourself,

brew some coffee,

watch the steam rise.

End personal battles,

pour yourself a cup,

wait for it to cool.

Tea isn't for everyone to spill,

quiet your mind and mouth.

Focus on yourself,

tune everything out.

Open your mind,

don't think,

take a sip.

Take the time

to be transparent.

Take Care

It's a sad world full of sad people.

Everyone can commiserate in sadness.

Reach out with your sorrows,

outstretch a hand and ask.

The power to say no

to negative thought 

is in your hands.

Fingertips to slip through-

don't lose your hope,

don't lose yourself.

Feel Your Fate

 Blank canvas and I, 

we have quite the relationship.

Found myself blind, 

using my fingers to read 

the texture on the walls.

How much more blank canvas could I be?

Faceless, mirrored, I stood, 

trying to recognize myself.

Blank canvas was all I could see.

In a panic, I ask myself,

"Who am I?"

I am faceless, blank canvas.

Read the walls of acceptance.

Drat Hit The Rabbit

Chasing the rabbit's wish,

down each hole he dug.

Dead-end dreamers

chasing rabbit's wishes

find themselves in the dark.

A severed foot is what's found,

a symbol of good luck

at the cost of the rabbit's life.

It was unknown, how,

the rabbit is luckier alive,

in one piece.

Soul and spirit, divine-

is the rabbit's living gift.

It's Not Coming Back

 Pain, a creature,

creeping in and out of our bodies.

He creeps into our mental space,

leaving blanks to fill.

A creature like amnesia

erases any memory of pain.

I can not imagine why.

Can not imagine

such a creature's embrace,

but he's had his hold on me.

Sucked me in to this world of skepticism,

where nothing is real,

question everything. Reality is gone.

Sleep On It

Whispers crackle

in the back of my mind

like a withering candle,

a wick burning to

it’s impending end.

A pillow of thoughts

to sink my head into

while I sort through

withering whispers.

A blanket of questions in mind,

they drape over me,

holding me down.

The questions no one can answer,

stay unknown as I

search my mind for a solution.

Blow out your crackling candle,

and pray for a sound pillow tonight.

There's only one way

to find your answers.

Wisdom Vs Knowledge

A humbled wisdom,

holds a prehension of the world.

Knowledge holds its pride,

its expectation is one

of blatant obligation.

A clear burden

on the shoulders of men,

one wisdom seems to ease.

Let knowledge enrich you

but let wisdom fine-tune you

till you're a quality artisan.

Knowledge can't teach

what the wisdom

of common sense can deliver.

Don't Give In

 American media headlines

play the world's worst game

of telephone with the public.

The truth doesn’t need

a telephone to speak.

It needs eyes willing

to read entire articles.

Headlines lie to grab

your attention,

then pull you in

for gossips full of lies.

All before you've had

the chance to read for yourself.

Careful,

or you'll become

the echo chamber

of telephone truth.

Everything

 Nature is the servant of man,

providing earth to plant,

providing everything.

Everything originates in nature,

our shelter,

our homes made of clay brick,

cement, wood, nails, and stone.

Nature provided each material for us,

for our enrichment, and our freedom.

It is the obligation of each man

living in human nature

to preserve nature as he chooses.

The blessings we don't see,

occur in nature.

Set your miseries to the side,

and be grateful

for what nature has provided.
