Relics:
---
This is the path you've chosen – cemented with regret.
In the middle of the crossroad – a life without open ends.
Refusal to engrave your feet into the pavement of bliss.
Tragic relics from the past have turned you into a coward.
A carrier of the fear to live – you'll never achieve, never proceed!
Responsible for self-failure, you'll never be (never be). Be anyone!
This misery – you've chosen. You've never known different.
Buried under the gravel. A fragment – broken by the past.
Refusal to engrave your feet into the pavement of bliss.
Caught in a loop – awaiting demise.
Enslaved by nothingness.
Created your own oblivion. You'll never rise, never rise!

The Shot:
---
I've held on to things, kept my mouth shut.
Of all the truth I've ever learned, letting karma take the shot.
The coiled words from rusted tongues.
If only honesty wouldn't bite you back. It always happens like that.
The temptation for fair vengeance...
Those without shame are never the first to blame.
Time shall reveal what happens to them.

Willingly Smothered:
---
Vultures – soaring around with their craving to destroy joy.
Their beaks will tell you lies, carved into your back before their disguise.
Even with our eyes un-shut, we still give out our trust.
Feeding away ourselves directly into their mouths.
Into their talons from helplessness.
Willingly smothered, despite their desperate ways.
Mutuality ceases to exist when one side remains effortless.
Offer the palm of your hand – your flesh is torn bare.
These low lands are better off burned.

Splinters:
---
Knuckles on wood, while all (is) in a row.
Getting splinters in the hand!
Striding warily, adrift by burdens.
Moments scarcely swallowed!
Setting it all to ruins before it becomes.
Tally-lined impatience!
Reconciliations – reignited frustration.
Uncommon, separate grounds!
There's no truce in all of this.
Gasoline is thicker than blood!
No reclosure for cans of mistakes.
The spilling of helpless sabotage!
Knuckles on wood, while all (is) in a row.
Getting splinters in the hand!
There must be a catch.
Not all align(s) on its' own.
The suspension of existence!

Endless Connive:
---
Without integrity for the invisible crown.
The endless connive for the ego to survive.
Consumed by jealousy – threats living in their heads.
Determined to burn you and the truth.
To drag you down - into their personal HELL.
(Personal hell.)
Slithering around for personal gain.
Insecure with false pride.
They'll ash your name in order to thrive.
(To thrive.)
Many toes - broken.
FALSE tales are spoken
Captivated by deception
the spineless are fooled!
Lips tumble like the weeds -
in the desert of empty words.
The weaklings abide and follow
along with the rest of the heard.
