Compromise
compromise doesn’t sit too well
with the life i desire
the lies i despise i try to
ignore but they hit me
again and my pain doesn’t
help me to live straight
without hate it’s not too
late to get up and turn
around to throw off the
deceit, defeat won’t find
me today i’m going all
the way never looking back
the goal is clear i stole
it from your fear.
Flight
a fleeting pulse, a luminescent thought,
a heartbeat of light forgotten.
my dreams infused through reality,
given breath by desire.
heartache, missing the void of absence,
it’s been gone too long.
