Hold on because im coming home, the smile on your face I just cant let go

The touch of your hands, the look in your eyes, fall sweetly into my arms under starlit sky

In this moment, here together, I look to heaven and drift away

In this moment, forever more

Solace (Thrive or be forgotten)

Hope, fades to nothing, defeat dominates.

We search our very souls for answers yet to find

When fate is wrong can we stand in its path?

Is our existence portrayed in black and white?

Do we venture for something more or just say goodbye?

Break down the walls of heartbreak

Yearn for solace

Blinded we reach the end

Will we thrive or be forgotten?

Force fed the sands of time

Will we thrive or be forgotten?

our existence portrayed in black and white

(Will we thrive or be forgotten?)

Force fed the sands of time

(Will we thrive or be forgotten?)

Forever seeking solace

(Will we thrive or be forgotten?)

call to arms


our footsteps echo on the walls of misery, our tears feed the hunger of the beast inside. Its fury rises like a cloud of napalm, scorching the face of happiness. Crawl through the daggers, scrape through the broken glass, will we see the light or just live another day?

Come forth and stand beside me, there is a path to take, stay strong and fight the battle, united we win the war.

The struggle within us confronts our very soul, un guarded and unprotected, we become the casualty. Engulfed in darkness, portrayed in nothingness, will you lift the veil, or succumb to agony?

Fall down or get back up, the choice is yours but as long as my hearts still beating, my sun will shatter the sky.

This is your call to arms, let my words be heard, united we win the war.

Drowning In The River Of Tears

This was one of the first pieces I ever really finished. Though the wording is a little crude, its still a special piece  

“Oh when did my life go wrong? A young man swept into darkness so young. Your words cut into my heart like daggers and your silence puts me in my grave.

This act so depraved, as I pray to be saved. You look me dead in the eyes, smile and turn away. I still cry to this day. In a river of tears I lay.

How could you be so cold? The bones of our friendship so feeble and old, helpless and weak you put a gun to its head and fire the kill shot without any dread. Past memories bleed from its head.

This act so depraved, as I pray to be saved. You look me dead in the eyes, smile and turn away. I still cry to this day. In a river of tears I lay.”

Soulful Thoughts vol 1

welcome to the first ever soulful thoughts. the topic of this first blog is one i’ve been dealing with for quite some time, “why cant i find someone?”. almost like a plot in a summer romance movie where a nice, funny, friendly guy (me) has feelings for a girl but is shot down by her. i think the writer of that plot needs to go back to the drawing board because the story seems to repeat time after time after time. dont get me wrong, being great friends and nothing more is good but sometimes the heart yearns for more. until that special someone comes along, the void in my heart will remain.

Soulful Thoughts Coming

my debut blog “souful thoughts” kicks off tonight!

To Fail

Im empty, my world is on fire. Burning ambition turns to ash. The scent of failure shrouds my broken dreams. My bright future now depraved of light, Im a shell of a man. Their faces mock me, their laughter haunts me. Every “I told you so” cuts like a knife. My hopes and dreams are bleeding out. im left to walk the shadows of a failed life. no longer will i reach for the stars.

My Darkness

i wrote this as a way for people to see how it feels to be anxious

emotion chokes me for breath, sadness consumes me. holding on to a bittersweet smile as these walls cave in. faint whimpers fade to black with every bead of sweat. im living a dream of nightmarish reality from which i may not wake. the thoughts are like poison turning my blood cold. they tell me its fine and i’ll be ok but their words carry no weight, for this war is mine, this demon i must slay. 

from the mind of the soulful one

just when they think they have all the answers i change the questions
