Hello to any who venture forth on the journey that is my mind.

I am currently an Electronics Technician and a college student. In what little spare time I have I like to write songs and poetry as a way to ground myself. The lack of time to process my daily thoughts leads to some interesting poems / lyrics when I finally sit down and sort them out.

I decided to create a poetry / lyric blog because I realized that there is no point in taking so much time to carefully create and coddle a piece of work and not share it with others. I do warn that not all of my work is family friendly, there is some cussing at times. It is not meant to be offensive, it is meant to be expressive.

I tend to write a lot about the things in this world that disturb me, like the horror film director that painstakingly creates a scene about a childhood nightmare that terrorized him during his innocent slumbers. In a way this is meant to be a wake up call. I hope and pray that you won't press the snooze button!!

I really hope that anyone who happens by this blog enjoys what you read. Feel free to let me know what you think!!

Vicous Circle

Breathe in, breathe out,
Breathe in, breathe out,
I can’t seem to figure out what life is about,
I can’t seem to grasp the meaning of it all,
Sometimes it feels like just an endless fall,
With no beginning or end,
And no way to circumvent,
A wasted intelligence; sometimes it seems,
A blessing or a curse? All the same to me,
I look to the dog, I look to the cat, I fill with jealousy and envy,
Ignorance is bliss, you don’t know of the pain,
The misery we feel when they all walk away,
Materials are nice, but not necessary,
I’d trade it all for one single moment of clarity,
Out with the computer,
Out with the TV,
Out with the prescription drugs they tell us we need,
Out with the dope and the booze and the lust,
All of these things that have ruined our trust,
All of these things have ruined our souls,
Left us lying broken and full of holes,
The blood it seeps, life slipping away,
And yet I still wake for one more dreaded day,
To wake up and slave for a pile of paper,
This vicious circle it never ends,
The greed of us all, society will end,
So sad it is to see, humanity living through a screen,
Sitting and staring and waiting to see,
Living the entirety of your life vicariously,
How lonely it is to live in this society,
In this so called land of the free,
Where the shackles are placed around you at birth,
Brainwashing and breeding you to eventually be,
The sheep that they all want you to be.
