It just feels like 

Socially 

I am so small 

My size doesn't help 

I barely have a voice 

Nobody hears me 

Because my words are of no value 

Or maybe I talk too much 

But I can't help it 

When I'm happy 

And my social battery is charged 

I get loud

Which I much prefer 

Over my quiet, introspective self 

The one that hides in his shell 

Afraid of letting...

A hollow silence

In the vast expansion

The dark void beckons

And the unknown stalks

Time stands still here 

On the edge of it all

Staring into oblivion

The end is near

And it is inevitable

But do not fear

As all things come into being

All things must come

To an end

To begin again

Ever changing

Ever growing

This is the Great Journey.

I know I'm not weak

But I don't get to see my strength

As I have no reason to fight

So I look inside myself

And fight the inner battles

The ones for peace

For happiness.

Information is too unreliable

No sources can be trusted

So I avoid the outside world's struggles

Because how can you pick a side

Based on all the lies being told

To make the other side look bad.

I'm sitting on the edge of the universe

Dipping my toes into the cosmos

Feeling the warmth radiate upward

All of these souls in this universe

And they can't see how lucky we are.

Free your mind from thought

Get lost in this moment

Find your free will 

And walk a path 

That branches off

In the direction of happiness

Feel the light envelop your very soul

Breathe i...

You're exhausted

Hanging on by a thread

Finding more reasons to let go.

You're losing faith in yourself

Losing faith in the universe.

But I'm here to tell you,

You have within you

A burning spirit,

And you have the strength to fight.

Go- ignite your flame, 

Set your soul on fire

And fight! 

The Universe wills it! 

We all will it! 

Go forward

Sometimes it feels like

The universe is very attuned to me

When all the others in the world

Have the same voice that I do

I watch my words get written

And sent out into the world

And I know that it's felt

So I need not speak 

But then sometimes

I find myself being silenced

As I recognize negative words

That I might have said

Without considering 

The feelings ...

You need to fight 

Because we all need someone 

To be the hero.

And I need you right now.

Eric, I need you.

There is darkness out there, but you...

You are a Warrior of Light.

You can restore balance 

And bring peace.

Close your eyes.

Look into your heart.

Find your strength.

You can do this 

I believe in you.

I believe in myself.

I can do better than t...

Blinded

By a new-found rage

Fuelled by a hatred 

For all that he had come to understand 

About humans

And this place, once called home,

Corrupted long ago

Tainted by the foulest souls

Who had long since lost their way

Too far gone to be saved

He took to the skies 

And unleashed his fury 

Unable to control himself

He would destroy it all

But just before he ...

I'm only here once

In this particular time

Within this flesh and bone structure

And I only have so much time with it

I will make all that I can make of it

I will find love

I will find peace

I will be happy

And I will scream it to the stars

That we are only here

To open our hearts!

We are here to share our souls!

To reconnect with our spiritual families!

We ar...

I often find myself having these

Screaming matches inside my head

The Darkness vs the Light

Sometimes it feels

Like I'm close to oblivion

And other times it's like

I'm off the deep end

No saving me.

But then I have a day

Where the Light wins

And let me tell you,

Those days

I could challenge the Gods.

My subconscious 

Is focused on a goal 

One which transcends this flesh 

Death is but a transformation 

But the rebirth that follows 

Is where growth lies 

Happiness found 

In the journey 

Because the destination 

Is an ending

That comes all too soon 

Ground yourself 

Take a breath

And remember the universal truth 

Of why you've taken this form 

Bound in...

One day

There won't be anything left

Your body will die

But the consciousness will live on

This planet may survive a while longer

But everything dies and changes

Stop wasting time being angry

Let go of that hate

There's no reason for unhappiness

This moment may not last

Don't let that cause any anxieties

It was never in your control

Nothing ever will be in contr...

Falling short

Bending

Breaking

Will anything I do

Ever be enough?

Or do I keep failing 

Never quite making it 

Right before the end 

I crumble to dust 

I'm small 

And within this cosmos 

I'm struggling to find 

Any reason why 

Anybody should

waste their time 

On me 

Will I ever be enough

Will I ever be enough?

It's hard being an adult 

Responsibilities like boulders 

Tied to my feet 

And I'm sinking beneath the surface 

Losing the thing I need most 

Social interactions 

I need to be close to the people I love 

Because they give me strength 

Enough that I feel I can take on 

The toughest of challenges 

They spark the flame 

Which is more like a wildfire 

When it spread...

When the silence came 

And my breath fell short 

I forgot what it was all for 

I let go of all that was eating me alive 

And within the peace that followed 

Came a voice

So softly spoken

Whispering a reminder

That happiness is found within

The heart is but a gateway

Our passions are the boat

And how we navigate the seas

And guide those lost along the way

Is h...

In one moment

The world turned upside down

And all of the light was taken

Only darkness

And then the pain came flooding in

Like a tsunami, washing away

All the good that was left

I gave up fighting long ago

I can only hope 

Time still heals all wounds

Because this gaping hole in my heart

Might never be fixed

But the blood dried long ago

I hold my heart in my ...

I don't know when it happened 

That I carved out my own heart 

And threw it into the sea 

I can only tell you 

That I'm sorry 

For not being more than I am 

I stand before you 

A broken man 

Lost inside my thoughts 

Lost in emotion 

Counting grains of sand 

Telling stories

Of the universe inside my head 

And all the pain I've come to know 

And all the hurt...

I watched as the sun fell 

Over the horizon 

And as the darkness came 

I understood 

That all things come to an end 

Light turns to dark 

Dark to light 

Life to death 

Death to life 

Balance will always be restored 

And the pendulum 

Continues to swing.

I saw a version of myself 

In the mirror 

Only caught by my peripheral vision 

But the dark circles around his eyes 

Showed me what lurks 

In the shadows of my mind 

Not representative of who I am

But all the pain, the hurt that I've seen

It's easy to fall 

Into a corrupted state of being

But to learn how to bring balance

Between darkness and light

And see the h...
