What value do we have
when we are all graded by
the money that we make,
the houses we live in,
and the cars we drive
Does the soul I own
not enough?
To live a life the way I
want?

Evil within a person
is in too far for
one to see,
with a flick of a match
is all it takes
to light an everlasting
fire that unlocks the
darkness of one’s soul
what new horrors will be
unleased onto this world

What path should I follow?
If several options lay before me
each one telling me what’s within
But whether it’s true
I do not know
since each promises a happiness
that’s too hard to believe

I stand near a railing
looking out at the vast sea
flirting with death
as I feel the wind
pass through me
heading towards
the horizon where there’s a
mist of colors under
the blue sky
that gets darker as
the hour goes by
soon there is nothing
left besides a
sky full of stars
which mirrors off the waters

Wishful thinking
should be done with
a strength
that could hold
you up every
minute even if
you might tremble and fall
on your next step
up this ladder called hope

The fire you set
within me is now an unbearable
pain that has burned me down
to a pile of ashes which
flows with the wind
Hopefully I would fly to
a better place
where I’m needed because
you have reduced me to
nothing

Like a fish hooked
and reeled I went to the
surface that was once
above me
and a new one appeared
This is far from
what I was used to
Filled with puffs of whites
the beauty, far from what
I could explain.
It ended too soon
as I was dropped back
under to where I was
And it looks dark compared
to where I been up there
