clearly i am focused

serious as a heart attack
i will focus without becoming blurry
zoom in closer on my heart

before you snap the shutter
i think it skipped a beat
the silent sound of it flutters
as you look into my eyes

flash forward and capture
the future that is ahead
bright and shiny white light

closed eyes in a frame
easy to delete easy to erase
as i make new memories
far away from that place

the battery slowly dies
turns red within each second
as time ticks on so does the last shot

turbulence

crushed by the weight that holds me down
compressed with this suffocation what will i do?
there is no way out and it's time for the survival of the fittest
i hold my breath and pray for strength to get through the toughest times
as the plane rocks and sways i awake and worry about the ride
i am cramped, smashed and taken advantage of,
i think about the size of my heart and the dwindling patience that i boarded with,
the view from outside changes ever so slightly
and my eyes burn from the view.

empty cemetary

the internal chaos inside the chamber walls
haunted by the ghostly fear as it calls
me into the night
open eyes full of sight

unleash the beast
that pulls me to the grave
feeding the urge for silence
the urge i always crave

now blinded by the moon
filled with sorrow and gloom
i walk in a zombie like trance
walking further from my last chance

Escape

Let's just call it what it is
passing time on a clock
reaching for my heart
until the beating has stopped

slowly drained my pulse weakens
once boiled blood now cold to the touch
bounded strings try to strengthen
i never thought it would hurt so much

the mess left inside
buried deep ready to hide
from this pain,
from this world,
from you...
