Mental Health & Self-Worth
The morning I woke I up, And saw my worth, Looking in the mirror, Middle-aged & baggy-eyed, Staring back at the shaggy man, Reflection of sand and time, In the mirror staring back, The lad of nine I used to know, In the mirror staring back, The young man humping sandy dunes, In the mirror…

Hell’s Gate
Taken out back, Stripped upon the roses, Streched and wiped with thorns, No escape from the legion, Pricking skin, each flick a blood bath, Folding skin, bent knee, Gazing into the sky, Muttering under breath, Patience guide their hand, Beaten into the mud, Pain no longer guides the mind, Numb… Numb… Numbness grows, Crowned and…
Imperfection of Sinful Bells
Bells ring and you make them take me down, Perfect imperfection dripping down, Water fall of golden rain, Washed of my sin, In basin of indiscretion and callous cold, Love me because your bold, Sins and all, Dressed for our wedding ball.
