Void

Into the void I go 

To what end I do not know 

Will I languish in this place? 

Will I be creative in this space? 

Give and take 

Create a mistake 

Take and give 

This is how we live 

Up and down 

And around the town 

In and out 

My thoughts do sprout 

Chaos and nonsense abounds

Everything is making the rounds 

Structure insanity flee

They seem to be far from me 

Sunless Skies

Sunless Skies
(7/10/12)

Sometimes there is no end in sight
We find ourselves faced with an endless night
Waiting for a sun that never shows
The sadness inside us constantly grows

Where are the better days?
Where are the sun's rays?
When will the clouds break?
How much pain can one person take?

Smile through the hurt to hide the pain
Hide your tears by standing in the rain
Dry your eyes so they can't see
let them think that you are filled with glee
