'Naked Unafraid'

Ribbon shreds from a heart float through the sphere of ether.
Pretty bow ties a knot around a shred dripping with blood.

Does anyone  ever stop to question the madness? That's probably a bad idea anyway. 
Its a love hate relationship. I hate that I love it. Love that I hate it. And while the cycles may be vicious and unforgiving, I still find a beauty in the maddening chaos. 

I don't think it is supposed to stop. Maybe it will get to the point that these moments become more smooth and artfully transitioned through. But It will always be there. A dark day, a bright night and the howl at the moon echos a homely vibration.



I've blazed a trail with my sins that I'll have to atone for.
Marks on my back tell a story of who I was before.
Before I realized the broken pieces of hearts that I was finding,
Were the shattered pieces of my own heart
I'm so crazy, I should be crying.

But the only crying I do, happens on the inside.
Like black magic I cast a spell, trickery.
If reality is just a summation of my thoughts, fuck me.
The habits I formed from pondering jaded poetry.
The poetry I die for, lyrics come to life or,
I'll flap my wings like a phoenix; rise from the ashes; reborn.

A dream that I see, so true it feels real.
Drink down the madness, cheers to free people.
Carry on wayward son, face into the sunset.
Darkness at my back, tame the demons and set them wild again.

The landscape is barren, ripe for the building.
Left over trinkets come to life in the morning.
Poetic justice drives a hard bargain, leaves no trace,
Of what has come
 Fire
Desolation in it's place.


 The focus is tainted form the smoke of burning emotions.
Iv'e been swimming in the blood of this shipwrecked ocean.
I knows stars shine brightly above the storm and the flood.
But I get so lost, lose purpose, make a pact by blood.
For all the drops of my blood, my sweat and my tears,
 I vow to fight onward, sail forward and face my fucking fears.

And the greatest fear of all, is to face my own truth.
As I slip down the rabbit hole, darkness, cold fingers
Grasp for the last shred of light that I knew.
Make friends with my demons, now I'm coming for you.

A light reborn, a spark from the deep.
Fueled by wasted years of menacing sleep.
I'm the dragon from a lost land, a tiger on the hunt.
Born from the fire of the greatest of Suns

I'll be there
Naked
Unafraid

Cult: The Escape (pt. 2)

 I graduated with honors, although I didn't hand in one homework assignment all year. The math teacher would give us the answers on the tests.  It was honestly a joke. And looking back, the entirety of my schooling was limited to a dogmatic perspective. Dinosaurs never existed.  The earth was 6,000 years old. Things that seem so insane to me now.  The highs school I graduated from lost their accreditation the next year.  At least I had a diploma that was somewhat valid.  In the Cult there was this idea that you should give God at least a year.  They really wanted the kids coming up to devote their lives to Jesus. And what that really meant was serving in some capacity in the church.  Be a pastor, a Bible school teacher, a youth minister. Anything really. So long as you didn't go out into the real world and start thinking for yourself. Can't have the devil getting a grip on you. They coaxed most kids to attend the Bible college for a year. Which was a pretty penny.  I honest

Cult: The Escape (pt 1.)

 Smashing heads,  and sweaty workout drills.  Twice a day. A full game played each day.  An entire season of sportsball, or football if that's what you like to call it, condensed into one week. (I was too curious. I just looked it up.)  They call it 'Man Camp' now. And I'm dead.  If that name doesn't adequately and succinctly describe the essence of this one week devoted to God, I don't know what does.  And that's where I was 16 years ago. Headed into my senior year. I was about to embark on my last year at the only school I had ever been to. Set within the walls of my church. I had spent my entire school life inside the walls of this building 7 days a week.  That't kindergarten to 11th grade. 12 years up to this point. And 7 days a week is no exaggeration.  Monday through Friday for school. Saturday all day winning souls to Jesus and inviting people to church. Twice on Sundays and Wednesday evenings for some good 'ole fashion preaching. And if you m

From Antiquated Ideology, To Expressive Individuality

        Rites and rituals, they seem to all be gone. Or maybe not gone but have become so construed by our society that the essence of what they are has been cast by the way side. Maybe there are some that see things the way I do, but I do know I want change. I can even see its latent course beckoning for awareness. But I feel as though the dogmatic fight me because they themselves are afraid of the change. Time changes everything. To fight it just means you prolong the inevitable.  And I feel put in the dark because of your antiquated perceptions of grandeur that fell by the way side as soon as I realized religion was not all that it was told me to be. I felt put in the dark when I realized that our politics were a giant fucking game that the corruption of which only  hurts people on every level. I felt put in the dark when I realized I was utterly alone in fighting this abhorrent war between freedom of mind, thought, expression and the condescending energy snuffing vampires of the kn
