FREEDOM

The time has come to move along,
And leave it all behind,
While memories still linger on
In the recesses of my mind.

I cannot stay another day
Without love resting in my heart.
I bid farewell to those who care,
For it is now I must depart.

The bitterness of them still floats
Like whispers lost in time;
But I'm no captive to these thoughts,
For I have mountains still to climb.

HUMANITY

Open your eyes and you will see,
The pain that radiates from me,
Deep within my shattered bone
Where troubles don't leave me alone.

I'm stuck inside a colourless world,

Where greed and envy have unfurled

Their blackened wings to reach the skies,

And launch their evil, twisted lies.

Their power does consume this place -

Our speck of dust that's lost in space.

How could we fight this violent storm?

The secret is to not conform.

THE PSYCHIATRIST

My job is to help people 
Who often don't want help. 
Their minds are somewhat clouded -
To their monsters they have knelt.

Deep down they yearn to talk,
But their mouths refuse to speak - 
Their demons fighting tooth and nail
As I put them all to sleep.

They're living on sweet memories
And countless packs of meds;
I often sit a while and wonder
If we've really fixed their heads...
