How will I be remembered?

Standard

I was diminished
And I agreed
Outnumbered ruthlessly
Then nailed to the floor
And stigmatised
Deeply stigmatised
Never will I be
Crucified to your cause again

How will I be remembered
When my life is tempered?
Forsaken by all
But I tried
Before I died

I stand alone
Face the rain
The endless river
I cried into the sea
Before tears dried
Now they are dried
Always will I have
My smile upon my face

How will I be remembered
After the world has ended?
No one left to see
All the scars
Of endless wars

I walked away
From the edge
The bottomless pit
Where I once resided
Before I climbed
Up I climbed
Never will I go
Back into my murky shadow

I don’t need to be remembered
When my soul is rendered
Back to it’s home in the light
Finally free
I am me

Black hole

Standard

I’m living in a black hole
Suspended since time began
Stuck in the physics of my soul
Inside my own event horizon
Never touching my whole
Can’t travel this universe
As if I am pinned to a pole
There I can see it,  while left to feel
All of the pain within my role
There is no escape, no solace
Just the hope to reach the goal

Puzzle

Standard

In the vortex of time
To know
It was always mine
I am left and right
Above and below
After the fight
There was the blow
Sudden and unexpected
And I hear music play
Words that try
But fail to say
And there’s no need
No question why
As in the silence remaining
I am heard and understood
All encompassing
Minds destined to melt
By the spark that ignited
All of my life
I catch it falling
Into the perfect fit
Like the pieces
Of the grandest puzzle
The universe has to bid

Up

Standard

Up
Up in the clouds
The world mounts
From the valley sounds
I need to decide now
Reach through the fog
And find out

What is truth?

Have some from me
Or just let it be
I maybe right
I maybe wrong
But I’ll be up
Up in the clouds
Where I belong

Song

Standard

At the coffee machine a song poured out
and so she drank the words first.
They consumed less time
than it takes to have a coffee.
But the satisfaction they bring lasts much longer.
