The Mind of the Soul

"Why do you remain?" my other self questions
"I'm bound by my heart" I reply
"How is this so?" I'm asking again
"I feel too scared to die.
I cannot act on the deed itself,
I don't want to make my loved ones cry,
I'm hoping the future brings better days"
Deep down I know this is all a lie.

And my other self laughs at my weakening clutch
To the life and the reason I crave so much
"Do not deny what you know to be true,
You are still here because I keep you!"
I cover my ears to escape the voice
But the jeer increases and I have no choice
"You cannot defy me, you're mine, your life,
Your soul, your blood, till I otherwise decide!"

The truth of these words pierce my brain
And I feel her gaining control again
To struggle only causes me pain,
So I go on living...
Me and my bane.

If I feel myself slipping to how I used to be
When my mind was anguished beyond belief
If my path should drift into despair
My defenses broken, my thoughts laid bare
I have only to think of you
And reach for you
And remember that I love you.

With you I am safe, I am free
With you I fear no danger
With you I can be open, can be me
My Guardian Angel...

A Dream...

Break free from the chains that bind your heart to the inconsistent misguided world that we pollute with our very existence.
Release yourself and let your mind roam through the valley of make believe where the sky is clear and the air fresh.
Try to find a reason for this dismal place and all you will discover is an endless epitome of black that is filled with sorrow and hate.
Together we may find solitude and comfort in a dream.

I dream of a life where simplicity reigns
I dream of a life where the poor and incapacitated do nothing but gain
I dream of a world where justice will be done
I dream of my world because I loathe this one.

Love is a chemical imbalance in our brain that we let control and decide our fate based on the belief of satisfaction.
Emotion is what drives us to insane and inexplicable acts of crime that we perform without a second thought.
To depart from this suffocating thing we call home and to lose the feeling that tears my insides until I wretch,
To learn the meaning behind all of this, to see mercy being shown, these are but small wishes that will live in vain hope of being granted.

I yearn for a life where salvation is given
I yearn for a life where to revel in your glee is not forbidden
I yearn for a world where truth will prevail
I yearn for my world because there I cannot fail.
