We're all a little messed up inside our heads.

I look at you
with eyes of a thousand years.
with eyes that have seen
a ship's voyage
a buried cargo
a sailor's secrets
not just one, but many.
you look at me
with eyes of a thousand stories.
a mother's cry
a father's revenge
a child's sacrifice.
not just one, but many.
still, we plod on.
still, we are strong.
but what else is there to be?

The world is nice from a spectator's view
in the way you might peer in the glass of an aquarium.
could we be compared to fish in a fish tank?
the thought is ludicrous.
we are humans, we have the world clutched in our fist.
but there are some things
beyond our control.

isn't it peculiar? I do not continue
because there are so many peculiar things in the world.
why is that we have so much figured out about ourselves,
how we can analyze our anatomy down to the last molecule,
but we don't really know much about anything at all?
I am just a young poet, lost in this world
without any purpose but to question my existence.
and quite frankly, many people have ideas about the purpose of life,
but no one is really sure which one is right.
I know my purpose, I think. But do you know yours? Do we know ours?
I don't know, I just don't know! What is life but to sit at your computer,
slaving away, dreaming up your reality when it could be sitting right in front of you?
What is life but to ponder, to try to comprehend? No one has the answers, no one knows the facts!
We can only guess, we can only use the word of mouth, and is that good enough for some?
We believe, we dream, we take no action. What do we do now? We are utterly trapped
in a tiny sphere of existence, with no way to know for sure what lies beyond.
I believe what I believe to be true, and I believe it to be honest and good.
I exist separately from the world, as do you. As does everyone.
We can become firefighters or doctors or carpenters, thinking this, surely this, is the purpose of my life.
Is it, though? I can't even begin to muster the courage to do much of anything,
and perhaps we as humans are meant to simply...live. Maybe we were never meant
to wonder about the paranormal, to doubt our very existence, but of course we do anyway.
Maybe we tend to overthink a bit, when all He wanted us to do was live.

what do you say
when there is nothing to say?
when you know there should be something there,
but only find a void of emptiness
when you grasp for a word or two.
what do you do, when you are so tangled up
that you simply can't sort it out?
when you're not sure if there is nothing at all,
or so much that you can't possibly understand it.

we were handed
a sheet of paper
and told to protect it
but do with it what we pleased.
some of us worked feverishly
but the others had plans
of their own.
they said, "Cast it to the ground,
and let us trod upon it."
"No", said the others,
"Let us perfect it,
let us shape it to our desires
and change the things
we do not like".
And much did they quarrel,
ripping of bits and pieces
trying to create
what they thought was
best for themselves.
and oh, did they quarrel
until the once perfect sheet
had been maimed and mangled
and ripped apart by its caretakers.
who thought, once upon a time,
that that perfect sheet of paper
was simply not enough.

stay strong against the wind.
you musn't ever break
even though you'll start to bend.

I reached into the empty sky
and plucked out a star.
I could search for the planets
but they're much too far.
standing here below
I dare to glance above
but the atmosphere is cloudy
I fear I've had enough.
my gaze is fixed upon the ground,
and I have no desire to see
anything I will become
or what I'll ever be.

greatness come in small portions
and brilliance comes first
to the well thought out mind.
and yet we are unable to achieve
what we would like to believe
that we completely understand.
my mind is full of questions
I have yet to answer.
and many times, I think
I must reconsider my entire existence
but my mind does not have the capacity.
I could lie down forever
and pretend to know the universe,
but I would only be scratching the surface.

the shadows run
when we turn their way.
when we reach out,
the reflected light
dances below our fingers.
we are encircled with joy
and our eyes shine.
we fall back, with laughter
onto the lonely surf
and it welcomes us
with open arms.

this is the age
of questions.
I have not yet arrived
at the time when I
discover what I felt
when I spilled those words
onto the paper.
is it really what
I think it is?
I just want to bury myself
in music and poetry
and never come out.
but that's not
the way it works.
life is not easy
and I am just beginning
to understand it.

when I sleep
where do I go?
I wish for the power
to imagine what I please,
but the mind does not care
for our wishes.
it is of its own accord,
showing us the things
we don't want to see.
is this complexity
a blessing or a curse?
if we were not
meant to understand
then why do we have
such trial in our minds?

lovely people, we think
but we only see
what they want us to see.
they show us their faces
but not their eyes.
because that's where
it's easiest to see the lies.

I will never full understand
what I should do with my life.
but if I am not to do it,
than who will even try?

pressing onward
they force us to see
when we shield our eyes
they pry our hands free
we resist, we rebel,
but that's not enough.
the demons will
only keep haunting us.

again, with the tragedy
I know not the pain.
there is nothing good
that I should gain.
before, with the fretfulness
I don't understand
will someone please tell me
how all this began?
now, with the shame
there's no place for me here.
take me away
to the place I hold dear.

I am spiraling
downward, falling
I have jumped
and now I must
pay the consequences.

for me here,
there is nothing.
complications
are irrelevant
to the soft mind.
I don't wish to succumb,
I don't wish to belong.
in my mind, I am
completely alone.

cornered, trapped,
who am I?
I live to be noticed,
but who am I?
senseless beast am I,
waiting to die.
am I to escape my cage,
only to be pursued
by murderers?
fathomless mistakes
I have made.
I am on the road
to nowhere.
I expect
to be tried,
but who am I?

she hid from their words
behind a glass door.
but what she forgot
was that the door wasn't locked.
