Let go
Your shame
Indulge in joy
Dare to play

Step into the light
Fears only thrive
In darkness
They belong

Like
Sticks and stones
Words
Can leave
Scars

When you find
What soothes
Your soul
Immerse yourself

Help
The captain shouted, waving
Controls jammed
His broken vessel
Stuck in circles

He must know
Where he's heading
They thought
Waving back, smiling
Following blindly
Round and round
They went

Refuse to be herded
Choose
Your own
Flock

Bow before me
The lion growls
Yet all we hear
Is
Roar

A path out of darkness
Lies always
But a leap of faith
Away

Emotion pulses
Makes me feel
Alive

To catch a star
Comb the skies
Don't fish the pond
For reflections

Tread lightly
You wouldn’t like me
Once I’m
Triggered

In what loneliness
We choose to dwell
Disconnected
Blind sanctification
Of the self

Who are we to educate
Future generations
With words of hate and prejudice
By ancient prophets
Long since dead
Truths from ages past
Nothing like our own
Isn't it time
To leave what lies behind
Alone

There's no greater fear
Than that helpless moment
You lost all control
And see approach
With eyes wide open
Your inescapable fall

Progress
Presses
Ever
Onward

Remember me
Lingering whispers
Glimpses from a fading dream
Elicit
Elusive
Melt into
Awakening reality

A head full of fireflies
Thoughts connect
Illuminating every memory
The light touches

Have you lost
Your mind
She asks
And I smile
Close, but no
I just
Stopped caring
About opinions
Not my own

Let me sleep
Reality isn’t all
My dreams
Made it out
To be
