- <!– a word can cause – the earth to quake – the walls to shake – a crack to take
- a word can cause – the mind to break – a heart to ache – a life to fake
- a word can cause – a passion to grow – a person to know – a river to flow
- a word can cause – the urge to go – deep deep down below – a more natural row
- there’s a broken timeline within a prism prison and it inverts the image of a man
- a hanging man longingly awaiting humility and to unwrap the umbilical chord
- it plays in varying pitches as he falls and it snaps him right back by his ankle
- filled with self awareness and striving for more than just existence
- confidence is an optical illusion derived for the most optimum of outcomes
- a word can cause and it does cause this
- the word is loss – the word is duty – the word is family >

- <!– bargaining begins with bar and ends in gaining – slipping and spilling – slurring over speech – dressed to impress but failing to express – we wait – we wait for connectivity – we wait for convenience – we wait for the final approach – in a descent that is far from decent – in a finale that leads into a sequel – we wait – we pray – we pray there is a god – we pray we have done someone proud – in all the decisions we have made – we pray we waited with cause – we wait – we wait for fate – we wait to be shown the way – through all the demons we slayed – through all the species we spayed – a reason why we stayed
- there is a balance in life – we walk a fine line – trading all that we have for that one look – an invite into the dance – preparing for that final stance – where we rest our dreams on someone else’s intent
- awakened from a dream – things has gone array – thoughts have gone a stray – time is not a constant stream – it seems it creaks where we walk – lets us know where we have been – lets people know where we are going – where we begin and where we end >
