Fanstasy
Unfortunate bad luck
One event after another
Consumed by life itself
Darker the world appears
Emotions, feelings
Slowly strips away
Replaced by nothingness
Heavy, crushing weight
Hope and dreams
Abundant, once upon a time
Another life long ago
Without despair, being as one
Spiral knows only one way
Falling, deeper down
Till there’s nothing left
Of the person you once were
Lost for eternity, forever more

You and I
Are similar in every way
Differences so small yet vast
Separated by definitions
Cultural or beliefs
Widens the gaps further
A great void inbetween
Don’t we feel pain
When others hurt us?
Don’t we feel happiness
When others are kind?
Emotions and feelings
Binds us together; in more ways than one
Differences in opinions
The essence of being human
Our birth right to believe
To be unique, to be ourselves
Threatened by society; by laws
As long as our beliefs are the same
No conflicts can be seen
Yet as soon as it’s different
Problems are destined to be

Questions remained
Endlessly wandering around
Upon the mind like a plague
Questions are answered
Certainty prevails for awhile
Till tragedy strikes unexpectedly
Structures, foundations crumbles
Results in second guesses
Who am I?
What is my purpose?
Why am I here?
Thoughts, on auto replay
Demands elusive answers

I’d always thought
Myself as being strong
In fact, opposite were true
Thoughts kept secret
Locked safely away
Inner emotions unharmed
Pain and suffering
Handled alone, quietly
Unable to burden others
Problems which are my own
In my eyes
I thought I was being strong
In others eyes
I was pushing them away
Withdrawing from everyone
Refusing anyone near
Only wanting to protect them
Hurting them instead
Of protecting them from the pain
Instead of being strong
Weak is closer to reality
Wrong way around
Happiness is to be shared
Even sadness and hurt
Especially those love ones
They feel your pain anyway

Protective barriers
Installed subconsciously
Fragile yet holds firmly
Within the confines
Ignorance is truly blessed
Eyes which can not see
Ears which can not hear
An illusion cast aside
Light and dark
Can’t exist without another
Fear is dream’s shadow
Sadness an companion to happiness
Wall upon walls of illusion
Minimize confusion
In the midst of everyday life
Remember; our world is large

Dawn appears
Through the darkness of night
Lights, blinding at first
Eyes adapted after awhile
Life; changed forever
In the darkness of night
Rising up above the silent sky
A moon reveals majestically
Lights of the night appears
No longer alone in the dark
Companionship, of uncertainty
First time ever
Always something strange
A different form of unknown
Yet, once used of its appearance
One wonders how they lived
Without the presence; of the first time

In A World Of Maybes
Regrets linger
Between two worlds
A role forever played
Reality or fantasy
Dreams within desires
Maybe; alternative universe
What could of been
If choices were different
Faces of now, never be
Replaced by if only
Excuses endlessly blamed
Thoughts never existed
Maybe, maybe
Circumstances are better
Perhaps opposite is true
In a world of maybes
Exist a place for dreams
Hope thrives, survives
