The Key
Temperate clouds rushed across the faint October sky. I could lay here for hours, waiting for something that might never come. Because today, I don't need anything at all. Everything I've wanted is right here right now, in this solitary moment of all things coming together at the right time. I didn't ask for this, I only hoped for this. My feet have stepped on stones and streets, I could walk for hours and learn more in a day that I could in a year someplace else. All this time I've been searching for my heart, and who knew it would be right here, restless and eager to jump back into my chest. It's relieving to have found a destination. I'll be here a while. The leaves are changing colors, they've grown tired of being perfect in the blinding light of summer. Autumn is blooming and change is in the air. We really don't need much at all, do we?

Con Fu Sion
So maybe this world was built for you to destroy
To break down to every single solitary detail
Until it becomes nothing at all.
Maybe they say the sky is blue
Just so you can hate it
When it turns pink or gray or black.
And perhaps love is just a word
We use to make ourselves feel whole
When we are as empty as a cage.
As if uncertainty was the only answer
To all of life's concerning questions
As simple as could be.
Up and down and left and right
Inside out and outside in
Just as confused as we began.
Always wandering so desperately
Lost on the outskirts of reality
As quick as death should be.
Well strong the mind
So weak the heart
You chose the end
Right from the start.

Youth
When the shadows of our souls begin to chase who we once were
Long ago, lifetimes ago, when we wandered the streets without a care
We noticed the little things that were never harmful
Never grasping how big the world was and how small we were
It was then that we were happy but didn't know it
Oblivious to the sorrows that drowned the others around us
Blind to the things that were too complicated to understand
And here we are now, clinging onto memories that hardly existed
Wishing for a moment that we could return to these former selves
Free from pain, regret, remorse, and heartbreak
There were no scratches or scars or doubts
We have become jaded no matter how hard we try not to be
Craving the one thing that can never be restored
Innocence, purity, and naivety
It is fragile, like porcelain sitting on a high shelf
Meant to be seen, never touched
But someone always does, and it falls to the ground
Shattering into a thousand pieces that can't be glued back together
No matter how hard you try to make it whole again
Regardless of how precisely and perfectly you place the pieces
The broken eyes become glazed over with a different view on life
So we have these remnants of who we once were
And these ideas of who we have become
We try to regain whole feelings with half a heart
To revive our youthful, unvintageable spirits
Wandering in the dark, waiting to be saved
Well we can find the will to live a life unknown
To soak in every bit of sunshine and light the way of self-discovery
We can become new
Again

The Things That Keep You Up At Night
It's difficult to have peace of mind when the world is so tragically broken.
If only we could save it.
If only we could save it.

The Catch
The most common dream of man kind is to live the life that he desires. The only problem lies in the fact that most don't know what that is. Which leads to society's biggest misunderstanding...the belief that knowing what one wants is of the utmost importance. That this is a decision that somehow needs to be made at a certain point in one's life, to determine the outcome of their success. No one should ever commit to one type of life to live, one certain role to play, one certain way to be. If this happens, where does room for growth exist?
