FEAR (Remove filter)

You Should Be Looking Over Your Shoulder

You Should Be Looking Over Your Shoulder.

 

What is in your heart that tells you, you have the right to terrify the children at night.

Is it the keys that hang from your large waist or the badge that says you're allowed to work in this place.

What joy do you get from the pain that you cause and all the games you play behind locked doors.

Why do you always walk with a smile, is there...

Why be common when I can be different?

In the hole of the common, fear runs deep,
where the voice of the many stirs us from sleep.
Dress the same, speak without spark,
act like the crowd, it's mediocrity's mark.

Alienated souls, proud in their space,
yet some feel the pull and yearn to escape.
Clarity’s a pain, like islands alone,
different in values, they stand out, unknown.

Children are innocent, while the old face disdai...

Another Bully

Another Bully.

 

Go on hit me, call me names do what you can, outlook here comes the angry clenched up hand.

I have never understood by hitting people what y...

Caged like an animal.

Imprisoned by these walls.

There must be a way out.

I just want to be free.

 

Through the window I wonder

What the outside world is like

But I am scared to face it.

I stay out of the light.

I just want to be free.

 

So much guilt weighing me down.

Skulls of hurt and rejection all around

So many questio...

The Cliff: A Tall Tale

Don't look down
They say
Starve yourself
Of the unknown

For nobody knows
What's below

I shield my eyes from the cliff
Proclaiming my distrust of the ledge

I sway as the wind
Whispers
Horrifying nothings in my ear

I dare not peak
Lest the bottom I seek

Tensing, I coerce the rock
To become one
With my feet

If earth hears my plea
Safety is guaranteed

I find
To my dism...
