A step forward, even in total darkness feels right…
it is, taking a glimpse without sight, Farout !!
Expressing how I feel for myself, that’s the forecast.

A Familiar voice fills me with joy.
Everything is cool once you’ve
convinced yourself that there are no
repercussions…
On occasion I’d exercised this way of life..
it was chaotic to say the very least.

On a journey to discover
what I truly desire from my

Self doubt and the reckoning,
slowly breaking out of the old shell.

“Picture my house in a postcard Town
Picture a bomb in the sky
History at your door who could ask for more”
A star that appears to be six feet beneath the moon
is still light years away.

Blood in my eyes,
the salt in these tears may heal these wounds,
did the fear ever serve me a purpose?
Transcending the words that have kept me in curse.
“This faith is all I have”

The ghost in the park.
To live in the past is such a disservice.

An amalgamation of emotion, passing through…
dark & light, intensity within.
A Paragon of Virtue,
Hiding beneath the surface.

Shadow boxing in a crater on the moon,
Self work begins..
Change is inevitable, readjustment is the key.

Break out, Smash out of your ways.
Sometimes the hardest thing to do is face yourself
after a long time living so far removed.

I used to hide beneath the surface
The truth sips wine and begets the purpose
I’m not the man that I was yesterday
He’d die at the edge of my blade
The cure for me was two whole days
On a desert road.

“& suddenly the lights went on”.
I wish I could eat the pain away
Devour until there’s nothing left
I wish we could take a little time off
Truly discover, just who we are
Oh I wish I could further things
And tell you it’s something out there
For I & I
“Cut off times”
I don’t know what I’m looking for but I know when
it’ll rain.

How ironic, the walls of glass
Never thought I’d be a part of the scene,
To be seen in between… the obscene.

The routine is a heart beat that resonates
with the music that is the universe.
Does your sun shine brighter than mine?

I’d kiss the bottom of the earth
An ornament to my low self esteem
I’m trying to build myself anew.
I’m trotting up to sober but I’m still tossing in bed
I can now see I’ve been sad, sitting over my pain
Try to reconnect the dots and make it out
I fear the coldness,
I’ve got sweat in my hair and my rent hasn’t been
paid.
27 of 40
There are reasons it couldn’t have been
You’d terrorize the world out of fear
I feared looking in my mother’s eyes.

A little intake will relive my headache
“You’ve got rough hands

Next thing you know I couldn’t face the surface.

Who ever knows the way to your heart
I wish them well
If it’s the both of us
We can always take the train home
You can miss the bus
We can take the train home
You can build your wall
You can close your mouth
You can be so quiet
No one would ever hear you when
you cried aloud.
Back to the stars when you need the love so
you find yourself in the bottom again,
Thinking of yourself baby,
Tried so hard lately,
Love yourself maybe,
Who’s next to you ?
Look around, Look Around.

Heard your voice on the radio
Driving back to Roodepoort
And time heals all your wounds
So don’t be severed
In the backseat of your friend’s car
That limitless confusion
awaits at the border
You’re making me tired
Heard your voice on the radio
All the way in Liverpool
And time would stand still
When you are not here
As I lay there in silence
That quietness of violence
awaits at the border
You’re making me tired.
As I rest my head on the mountainside
With no warning
The bomb fell, it really did!
They say the world was burning
As I lay my head on the ocean bed
I can feel the tide turning
A flower blooms in a really dark room
You were my hero and my best friend
We used to be one and the same
But now my hero’s gone and left me here
To play this wicked game
I read the paper today
Am I living in a western World ?
Cause my idle mind would drift away
I’d idolize about the fancy clothes & the flashing lights
But never work a single day in my fucking life.

You’re only just starting to live.
You’ve been alive the whole time.
Floating out in space, running out of oxygen.

It caught me by surprise
What more can a man take
Enough is enough my love
By the power invested in you
Break out of your shell
Industrial poetry on the wall
This town has always had a bone to pick.

I might’ve missed the bus but I took the train.
