grass beneath my feet
sun burning my skin
but I don’t care about hurting my chin
I’m just running while I’m still five feet

It’s still fun to play hide and seek
I’m not hiding yet just for the sake of it
and I’m not worried I will lose my grin
my mouth was never close to a fist

and I’ll never get to shout so loud
or get that safe and sound
like in the backward of my aunts house.

My bones have already cracked now
I don’t frolic, I don’t sprout,
don’t visit
The backward of my aunts house.

Punisher

I have a record on being my own punisher
The bars on my cell were made
from my own words
I’m the warlock of my curse
Conjuring my worst

I constantly rewrite all my fantasies
Because I loathe even who I pretend to be
My consciousness is the intruder of my dreams
I stole my sleep

I need to feed my desires
Or push them away
But I’ll be there with them
I’ll be held by mistakes

I can’t control all the galaxies in the universe
Had that realization when I was moving none
How could I seek for that power after all I’ve done?

I need to feed my desires
Or push them away
But I’ll be an ignorant doing nothing
I can’t learn anything

They were tongue tied, they were mad when they saw me
Cause they could perceive all I tried to bury and all I hid
All my fool pretension masqueraded in gears I’ve seen
I’m an old fossil dressed in shiny things
I won’t be taken by the wind

After all I’ve lost and earned my hands are still empty
And the reflection of who I’ve become never felt so mean

Will I rest the beast controlling me?
Will I ever find peace in destiny?
I know I won’t know in obscurity.

Inquiry

Will I lose or find myself in you?
Could be the greatest thing
Or one to leave a bruise
Unknown feeling fight with my reason
To find the meaning of our season
Blind to my devotion made by desire
With no concern for my emotions
Even if it is one-sided
Why choose this position?
To live in affliction
Led by the concept of becoming whole,
When the demise of that deception
leads to the old mundane
As we lose our most laudable affection
Being left as one again
And to ask, why do we love in the first place?

Heraclitus

I jumped into the waters,
thought I had found my place,
the waves kept moving
so did I, as I went along with the pace

funny thinking I could belong,
not even the surge could help losing itself
I can drown at any moment,
a crest growing under my skin

I think you felt like that
always unsteady, never letting me in
somehow I felt you still could be home
but not even a fish can stay at the same place in a billow,

I am not the same person, you are not the same man
and no swell can change how long it has been.
