The Existentialist

To stop being a victim of denial isn’t easy
It’s like wiping the dust off a hidden picture hanging from a nail rusted twice over
Fuelled only by a burning desire that cannot be suppressed
The ink soaks it all up, reiterating the boundary between reality and illusion

Only now have I realized, the hidden power of words
The power it has to lessen the numbness, to melt the icy façade
And let truth take over what the complexities of life obscure
Your mind.

Its as simple as closing your eyes to pray
Its as hard as giving up what you love
But when you feel both- you’re in a state of paradox
And this only the existentialist knows.

The plunge is the only way out
Into an endless tunnel into a space that will let you be you
Whether you resign to the fate of the unknown
Or embrace the truth that lies ahead.

Close your eyes and DREAM When u stand atop Everest and gaze down at the vanishing valleys, When u sail in the pacific and feel the winds manipulate Ur every move, When u lie in the insignificant shade of a palm tree in the Sahara and feel the sands blinding Ur eyes, When u gaze at the Hawaiian sunset and feel Ur hopes go down with the sun, JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DREAM… When life makes a cunning move and vanquishes Ur knight and bishop, When circumstances determine Ur decisions and leave u helpless, When Ur closest friends turn their backs on u and leave u stunned with remorse, When the whole world seems to be crashing down on you, JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES AND DREAM… When all that u believed in just seems to be a mirage, When that someone u trusted Ur life with suddenly leaves you all alone, When u come upon those times where you feel like you don’t know yourself anymore, When you desire silence, peace of mind and most of all eternal happiness...

Finding you.

Walk into a maze of mirrors, and you feel the reflections stifle you Gaze at a star studded sky, and you feel the emptiness fill you up Make memories the air you breathe, and you feel suffocated with each passing day Wipe the dust from your eyes, and you feel the storm getting stronger This is the beginning of the search, the search for who you really are Its that one smile that kills the numbness That one moment shared, that makes you forget The one word said, that wipes all doubt off your mind That’s the one time you dared to live again, by abandoning who you thought you were And embracing who you can be To start all over is no easy ordeal To let go is even harder To give it a chance is faith To hope for more is sin To know that who you are is who you want to be, is the secret

Life- a mirror

Her eyes open, open to this glaring myriad of mirrors Mirrors that reflect off her innocence, her inner desires She breathes, breathes in the intoxicating, poisoned air Poisoned by the infinite elements of human nature The conscience of a thousand minds, The harmony of a thousand strings, The innateness of a thousand beings, All in a single confine All in a single reflection She rises from the delve of the unknown From the graveyard of a million screams To seek sanity in a new beginning To seek purity in new faith All she wants to see, remains an illusion All she wants to feel, remains a dream Smothered by a smog It gets hard to see, hard to breathe, hard to feel She feels it slipping away She feels it fading away Into the darkness, into the void Her feet are sinking, sinking in the red sand She lay tied down, the creepers entangling, choking She begins to fall, deep into the abyss Into the depths of the unknown It’s the beginning of an end The beginning that never began As she falls d...
