ThePoeticDeviant

Divided thoughts spoken, behind enemy lines Irreversible words spoken, without knowing the times Individual hate spewed, without a second of thought Irreversible words said, whether they’re wanted or not An entire nation divided, on one traditional breath One that cares more about color, than it does life or death This plague isn’t enough, for us to fix what we are We’re not built upon freedom, but upon our ancestors scars How have we come this far, how are we part of this youth That’s been told we’re divided, we’re so far from the truth How can we still believe, there’s such a difference in

Bound to the present, looking forward to the future, while the past rears it’s head in unsettling ways Giving forth to what comforts, letting go what is real, letting history replay like we’re caught in some kind of daze Open eyes see what’s happening, closed eyes see what they want Some beg for an answer, while the rest of us taunt We all pray for an end but if we do nothing to help, then we all pray for an end to destroy ourselves

A thorn perched on the stem, of a bright petaled rose Violent storms speak in languages, that no one knows Faint whispers of sarcasm, adrift in the tone If there is no together, then we’re all left alone Long histories built in silence, forgotten and cold We only start young, so we can slowly grow old There’s too much time for the timid, yet not enough for the bold Let go of the past, and let the future unfold We tell tales of the wicked, to enlighten those of the pure We’re told there’s a balance, but there’s no way to be sure The world has a cancer, there’s so much hope for a cure But for now we reside,

Her cold lifeless stare Shines an ominous glow That beckons me forward Death becomes me Those brave enough to approach This figure Of black wrapped in gold Find that their fortune Hides the hallows Of their demise Skin of silvery white Lips of pale lifeless pink An omen of death Perched tenaciously On her finger tip It screeches and caws At me As if to tell me My time is running thin But it know nothing

I search to find meaning, in the tragedies I behold It’s like I’m longing for the ending, of a story never told But as the pages keep turning, a new life will unfold As I form this fresh clay, into an imperfect mold The truth can’t be hidden, or forgotten at all There’s more to life to remember, than the times that I fall I must show them my might, I’ve  got to stand tall But before I can walk, I have to learn how to crawl These feeling can cut deep, and out they will pour I have to open the next, before I close the last door As life passes by, I must remember this more That before my last breath, they will all

If I close my eyes and look in my heart, I can see your precious face It’s perfect features are a memory, I would never want erased But that memory burns me to the core, my heart bleeds with every beat The grief I’ve felt since you left my side, is like a song stuck on repeat Sometimes I wake and feel you there, watching over from above Sometimes I dream of you at peace, flying freely like a dove Some days it’s like I cannot move, or can’t cope with how I feel Each day I wish it’s all a dream, and this pain just isn’t real But I know your gone and the pain is fierce, it will never go away It’s a cross

The words fell so softly Into my ear To delicately to hear For those not ready To listen "Leave this place, make no return" They spoke to me Calmly But I danced To a more selective tune What I am today I will not be tomorrow Their vision of me now They shall remember But tomorrow I present a new stranger A man born from fantasy Bred from noble stock They shall shower me In praises As I lighten their purses With Gods wings On my shoulders I'll reap my rewards I'll be the king of their brothels They shall beg me for more I'll write scripts Filled with glory Satire and despair alike They’ll come from lands Far and near And rewa

My life as a whole, seemed pointless at first My shallow existence, almost felt like a curse So there I remained, like a lump on a log What use could the world have, for an insignificant frog But then something occurred , at the brink of sunrise The light pierced through the woods, it shined into my eyes I heard a beautiful voice, blowing soft through the trees It was the great Mother Nature, and she was singing to me Her words melted me like butter, on the inside and out As she sang of a life, this world could not live without She chimed the Earth's secrets, she gave my life meaning It dawned on me then, she was the light I was seeing Ashame

I long to hold on to The faint whispers of beauty That one lasting kiss that Reminds me of a better day When the darkness was cast away by the glory Of sunshine I long to be a part of That story full of wonderment The one we tell our children To save them From the plague of nightmares The one that begins with hardship But ends with happiness I long to be saved from The ugliness the world holds The evil consuming innocence That one little voice Whispering in a demons tone Calling me to the dark side Leaving me with doubt I long to forget The memories that pain me The ones that cut deeply That shower me in depression Building walls arou

Tell it like it is That's what they've always told me Be like how they are That's all they've ever showed me Do the things they do Is what I've always learned Against the curve is naught That's all that I've been taught Live as the believer Is what I say to you Untangle the vines that hold you down I preach this as the truth Let lovers go, let bygones be Take ahold of who you are Take your painful past Wear it like a battle scar This I say to you To relieve you from your pain I know the depths of brokenness And I'm still here just the same Don't clench your burden like a cross Be true to who you are Hold your breathe and take a chance Th
