Depression & Obsession

 

A necklace worn around the throat
A drainage ditch, I dug this moat
Sheltered by an overcoat
I row upstream in blackened boat

A fox's fur, a heroines smile
The river reeks of faint denial
I mend my mask and all the while
The darkness lulls me towards an isle

Further more unto a lake
The silence thick, I lie awake
Pressing on through simple song
To which the specters sing along

Depression plagues these rolling plains
A toggled switch within my brain
Beyond the clouds, past drops of rain
I still exist, but in a frame

The Price

 Whats the price of arrogance?

All I know condensed into a certainty

Closed off from the mystery

Allow me to paint the imagery 


Reading messages put me in a strange space

All this knowing, can I just cut the cord?

Float and drift through a thousand galaxies 

Why is it your mad at me?


What's the price of vengence?

Retalliating always harms more than heals

Before goodness sprung a leak in the bucket 

Words become sharp like incisors. To cut it..


What is the pursuit of justice?

When all the news is "just in"

Time works upon tight strings

Tuned up by a pipe-wrench


When I'm troubled, buried in rubble

I fall and I stumble, like losing consciousness 

Asking Q's like why do I exist,

I'm not afraid to admit I need him

God's son, Jesus, Christ, Forgiveness 


Cause all I really know is weighted

Counterbalanced by a picture 

May the steps that I limp

Better reflect his image.
