day one hundred eighty-eight: lies.

lay down the truth
foundation beneath the structure
winds blow
and it stands still

place a post upright
atop the desert sand
winds blow
it stands not a chance

take a leap of faith
make a choice that may end in misery
winds blow
and i feel warm

drop a bombshell
let it be released
let it rain acid and pain on me
winds blow
the rain still falls.

day one hundred fifty-six: you can trust the stars.

"we live in a world built on promises
constructed by liars"


round, round, green
lies, lies, means,
stars tickle the darkness
like bits of truth
shining through lying lives
"never stop
never stop writing"
keep going
on and on
shoot the stars
fling them across the sky
they're just trying to get your attention
to let you know,
they aren't like everyone else
you can trust the bits of truth
if you can catch them
if you can hold them tight enough
that they wont fling themselves
back at the horizon
you can trust the stars
if you can catch them.

day one hundred-fourteen: avoiding the voicing.

avoiding

the inevitable

voicing

the opinion

avoiding

the problem

voicing

the pain

avoiding

the inane

voicing

the crazy

avoiding

being lazy

voicing

the inevitable

day sixty-two: a fix.

i'm craving

an escape

i'm craving

moving on

i'm craving

i'm craving

there's an itch

inside

and a twitch

inside

every single time

i see a world map

there's so much

ground to cover

i'm ready to start now

i'm craving

i'm craving

leaving on a plane

just to go

there's this calling

from the waters

from the mountains

from the forests

every direction

from here

they're all begging

to be seen

to be touched

to be written about

there are people

some more ignorant

some less

than the ones i know

but ignorant or not

they're waiting to know my name

and i'd rather start now

than never start at all

and i'm an adult, right?

but i'm still a child...

but i could go, right?

but the crowd goes mild...

there's an itch

a twitch

i'm craving

a fix.

twenty-eight: truth and lies.

the truth

may hurt

like hell

but its

the lies

that kill

and send

you there.
