Endless Ladder

Making my way
Up the ladder of hope
One hand gripped tight
As the next rung I grope
I come to a space
That's missing a rung
No way to reach up
Even with arms outflung
And so I stop
No higher I go
Stuck in the moment
With nothing to show
For my efforts thus far
In climbing so high
And I ask myself this:
Why did I try?

Breaking Routine?

Another day, another dawn, Yet no time to sigh or yawn. Locked into the lifeless ring, Nothing new that I can bring. Ever feel like there's no room. Like you wake up inside a tomb.

No Mans Land

Lost in the crosswinds; stranded at sea. Stuck in a room without a key. How I wish that I could be free. If only it was the truth to be. A sun rises in a colorless sky.

Lifeless Eyes

With you're world turned upside down Violently ripped from beneath you Do you stand and weep or fight on some more.

My Life

My life is a mystery, I've never been its master. My life is a story, that has never been a glory. It's full of sadness, and maybe happiness. It's very vain And it cause me pain.

A Darkening

A Darkening. When the end draws near. Things become dark. We run around trying to find a spark. But all we find is fear. The blank look of honest fear. No longer together we hide alone.

Hole

Still such a long way to go, How I will make it, I do not know. Each excruciating step jars my soul, Each burst of pain creates a bigger hole.

Acting In A Script Of Fools

I parked myself on the wrong side of life. Sat drunk again lost into the night. Wondering where did it all go wrong. Then i replayed all the parts I've acted on. You ruined me with your tongue.
