Insomniac's Journal

Words birthed in the internal

His subconscious' dunk-tank

These words remained unranked

Articulate the contemplations

Of these waking frustrations

Pen in hand

Sleep be damned

These are the greatest thoughts in the land

But why do they come at 4 in the morning

Must write them down

And heed the warning

His memory won't serve him as well when he wakes

If only he knew what was at stake

Words, Words, and more still left to come

Cannot stop till he sees the sun

Sunken eyes

Blood shot red

Sleep finally comes to the walking dead

I, The Construct

I, the construct
Of your imagination
Birthed into darkness
And given to inflation
Grow tired and weary
Of your constant hesitation
Give in to indecency
And delicious temptation
Your spirit calls out
For a morsel of deceit
Just a small taste
And a chance to repeat
Your will
Possesses the strength of pure steel
You, wretched waste
You will stumble and keel
Your weak attempts
To extinguish my presence
As an infant, a child
Into adolescence

Now an adult
You stand unafraid
To face the construct
You so purposefully made

Worldly View


Restructured sentiment
Growing from a black hole
Disembodied moments
Speak directly to my soul
Upper-crust malice
Always trickles down


misinterpreted apologies


Feed them to the hounds


Soundless nights

In a foghorn sea
Darkened lighthouses
Direct and guide me
Ramblings of a madman
Straight from the heart
Easy to dismiss
But still a form of art
Staring at your enemies
As they pass you in the fray
Threatening looks
Warn to stay away
This is a territory
Riddled with mystique
Sometimes unfortunate
But often times unique
I guess the key is patience


And just a touch of luck 


And I find that on occasion


It's worth walking through the muck



Deep Thoughts

Blah
Blah
Blah

Sincerely,
Certified Genius

Narrated Daydreams


Narrated Daydreams 
Stuck between
My in-betweens
New worlds pass before my eyes 
Severing reality's ties

Better times are had here 
By this intoxicating mirror

Bring me up 
From bottom's down
Smiling faces
Smiling frowns

This world behind the mirror
Begins to make no sense
Discrepancies in this domain
Are large and intense
It seems to me 
This world can't be 
Like the absence of roots
From a fully grown tree
But my thoughts are cut short 
Abruptly truncated 
Because I've returned
Consciousness belated

Out of Place

I am a giant
In a world of Davids
Rock to the head makes me feel slated
Immortally wounded
Words cut deep
Skin of steel makes me feel complete
Tiresome antics
From my unfamiliars
Their taunts have become
Quite peculiar
Sweet disregard becomes my savior
Turn a blind eye to their behavior
Ruler of the world for only one day
Accept my decree
Then fade away

To become a legend
A testament to the ages
The wisdom of a monk
One of many sages
No longer out of place
No longer out of line
It seems that this giant's gonna' be just fine

Through The Realm of Closed Eyes

Don't forget the dream
Words from a keen
Mind
My aspirations are lead by the blind
Corrective decisions
Second chances will be mine

The goal lies in front of me
Like carrots on a stick
Distractions surround me
Like zombies in a horror flick

What was that I saw
Through sleep clouded eyes
A vision of my victory
A vision of my rise

Just keep going
Please don't stop
My destiny calls me closer
It's gonna' take a lot

Retroactive memories
Unenlightened epiphanies
Keep me from my purpose
But nothing can hinder me

A faded recollection of a technicolored thought
Speaks in volumes
My purpose will be sought
My will
With the strength
Of some unearthly metal
Reality can't stop
This focused rebel
I glimpsed it from a distance
A long time back
I will fall into space
As if the earth were flat
I'm reaching
For something
A long way out
I will walk away unscathed
From this restless bout
I'm floating on thin air
Just because I can
My purpose will define me
And tell me who I am
Waking eyes
Cause pause
But never full desist
These visions have their flaws
Nonetheless I shall persist
I'm peeking through the seam
Of which I tore myself
I won't forget the dream
I've put it on my shelf
