Im alone on the hill …that I died on
Fragile deeds… done in vain
As the world looks on
…
In a song …sung in pain…that i lied on
Never knew…how it felt
To be this far gone …
…
Sometimes I feel strong …
Stolen hope …in the dark
I must hold my own
…
I Suffered.. all alone …
Every step …every breath
I guess we all earned
…
Stop and think ..
What really matters . In life
Shattered dreams
in the night
…
Can you see
Too many lifetimes gone by
Spent in misery …and why
…
Are we just animals
Clever beings built to be
Just machines that bread and eat
…
It’s understandable…
The grand scheme a tragedy
How else can we be
…
In truth …
Love is soo strong
But I feel soo damn wrong
…
This path that im on…
Unprepared for the shock
Oblivion…
Poem i wrote just messing around lol i like it tho

Did you ever think of putting them into your music? Either with your own voice or a computer synthesized voice?

And honestly man…the poems you come up with are really good. Every day you find something meaningful perspective on life and put it in a poem thats clever lol pretty awesome man!!!
