"The Uninspired"
(11-11-04)
 
I wonder what built this wall
Trying new methods, still blocked
With everything I've tried and will
I fail to reinspire myself
Though experiences grow
Though changes alter my life
I remain the uninspired
I remain the lost, the hungry
 
Do these words still entrap you
Has the peak of meaning been reached
Trying to shock the system again
Losing the means to do so
Searching all walks of life around
Hoping for a shred of value
But I remain the uninspired
I remain the lost, the hungry
 
Recollecting what I cherish
Reinstating what I love so much
Mapping out the path I've taken
Understand what lead to this
Now creating something small
Was it what I hoped to be
I remained the uninspired
I remained the lost, the hungry
 
 
 

"Every Sunrise"
(11-20-04)
 
Twisting, turning into something
Lash out, scream out names
Anger burning, your heart yurning
You feel scarred, abused in pain
Hating those around you secretly
They inflicted this upon you
Head out for another night of sin
You'll show them you weren't beaten
 
Such a shame, unpolished pearl
So many things to offer this world
So hurt it implodes you severely
Unable to look beyond your walls
Nails broken and bleeding red
Clawing, beating to somehow get out
Knowing full well it means more
So saddened, pain becomes comfort
 
What you're missing was in me
Time to take responsibility in life
Where danger lurks, danger occurs
Where these potential situations lay
Slither til the sun comes up
Like a virus's trail it's obvious
Time to take the stand against
Yourself,  your demonic memories
 
I look back, I do not regret
Some things just weren't meant to be
Tried to befriend you as well
Though attacked, I can forgive
Keep your chin up, eyes open
We won't all hurt your dreams
Hoping the changing day quickens
With every sunrise, comes chance to realize

"Under My Wing"
(11-20-04)
 
From all that we've been through
Doesn't lighten this effect
Seeing for the first time
Wonder what happens next
Enough people kicking me around
Beating me when I was down
Should've shown me love, take the stand
But you cowardly turned your back
 
Feeling betrayed, slain in the back
All those times I stood up for you
Trying to help you see the pride
Now you grow an ego, a great lie
So afraid to make a move to help
Causing an aura of uncertainty
Do they wonder just as I do
Does he really care or just playing
 
The boy ran away and hid in
A time of need for someone who
Protected and stuck up, no matter the cost
Shedding light on who you truly are
Stupid mistakes, silent behavior you lead
When I needed a friend, turned your back
When I needed a brother, walked away
Why did I take you under my wing
 
Now it seems you're talking shit
About how you assume who I am
My likes, your judgments shattering
You better settle this shit now
Already watching my back, I lash out
Bullshit day in, day out, for nothing
I guess you could say I'm hurt
Just another to fuck me though
 
Maybe one day you'll finally understand
Where you went wrong and fucked up
The damage you call your life
The damage you cause by ignorance
Young man of seventeen, my little bro
Now twenty one and we may call this war
I will wash my hands of this
Will not be sucked down by another
 
 
 

"Inner Self"
(11-26-04)
 
Silently, I crowd in the corner in self defense
Motionless, feeling the thoughts may disappear someday
For every single minute
It feels like ten for me
For every little mockery
It feels like a stab in my heart
 
Why does this contemplative feeling
Destroy every little moment
I push and I pull and I desire
It really doesn't matter at all
 
Bleeding, writing every word as if its prized
Convincing,lying to myself that it's just a game
But I know every minute counts
The urge inside me repeatedly grows
And I know you may have tried
But it's just not enough to stop my world
 
Why does this contemplative feeling
Destroy every little moment
I push and I pull and I desire
It really doesn't matter anyway
 
And I've heard all the lines
And I know you mean them well
It just doesn't change how undesireable
I feel deep in the abyss inside
 
Pondering, wondering if I'm capable enough
To bring you life, the only time I feel alive
Every time you think I'm selfish
I swear I always think of you
Every time you think I'm wrong for you
I beg inside for the strength to change
 
And now this contemplative feeling
Destroyed what little chance I had
I screamed and I cared and I bled and I dared
But it didn't matter anyway
