As The Stars Speak

You can see the stars in the black night sky
A cold wind screams as it passes by
And the silence sings a peaceful song
To the tranquil night your soul belongs

You can hear the lonely cars pass by silently
As wind's gust again howls violently
This serene scene shows you are at home
Free to wander, think and roam

As grim grey clouds veil the moon
Tonight, a cleansing downpour looms
The rain then falls, dancing on the ground
It dilutes Earth's poison with a subtlety profound

As you pace and pace across the land
Nature's beauty, you'll understand
Deafness you hear, your blindness is sight
As you find a light in the dead of night

Self-Induced Destruction

My inhibitions surround me like prison cell walls
A deep and never ending hollow pitfall
Caught in the wake of self-indulgent mistkes
It seems my habits I must forsake

A dreary routine day after day
My cognitions are rotten and riddled with decay
My choices coerced, my mind is infected
Leading a lifestyle which must be corrected

Living in sin, my life is a stain
The habits I hold seem ever-engrained
Cheap overstimulation; my source of elation
Leading me nowhere and procuring frustration

I must face my foes and find a facet of hope
Or I shall perpetually fall further down this steep slope
If I reach the bottom Ill be too exhausted to climb

And my body will be better off covered in lyme
