La Verite Triste

We are all striving to be happy
But we're reaching for the wrong things

Though, I understand

I am not accusing or preaching
For I am guilty, too

It's not our fault

In this environment
There is nothing else to reach for

Therein lies the problem

We are big fish
In a tiny pool

When Fear Conquers

Pit fear against honesty,
And awkward silence reigns,
Every word unspoken
Dies
and feeds the flame.

Every empty moment,
The song remains the same,
For every word unspoken
Lies
another slain.

Depth Behind a Recollection

Can a memory define me?
What if I’ve changed?
Would you notice?
Would you realize that I’m all the better?
Or would you,
Stubborn and quick to judge,
Cynical and contemptuous,
Would you hold tight to your first judgment and
Deny what truths you may see?
Would you accuse me of your false assumptions and
Brand me as a liar?
Would you think it’s all an act?
What if the past you knew and trusted turned out to be a charade?
What if when you met me I was nothing but a faceless marionette
Controlled, restrained, and
Stripped of free will?
Could you sense that there was more to me then?
What if I really have changed?
What if I'm no longer afraid?
Could you see now what I couldn’t show then?
Would you accept it?
Would you believe me?
I am not my memory.

Your stomach feels empty,
Your heart aches,
A vacant hole of nothingness becomes your eyes,
A mere glimpse of the vacuity within,
Nothing interests you,
You feel unwanted, hollow,
You cry…
It's just a feeling...a notion...
You need something,
Something to fill this void…

Truth

There is no god.
There is no good in death.
There is no soul.
There is no “better place.”
No afterlife. No heaven.
There is an afterlife, it exists as eternal suffering…
There's no happy reuniting with those who passed before you and those who’ll pass in years to come,
You have to suffer by watching all of your loved ones live and die without you…
Heaven is perfect.
Everything is happily ever after.
You’re judged.
Heaven’s not perfect.
It’s too hot. Too cold.
There is a god.
He doesn’t like you.
There is a hell.
Satan doesn't like you much either.
You end up in limbo.
You remain trapped, forever lonely, in your grave.
You’re reincarnated…

Lately I've been feeling...

Perhaps my luck is improving...
