Wowwwww!!!! Double up described my last two months. Powerful to see it on paper.
Oh My God in heaven! This has to be one of the deepest vents I've read this month, and truat I've read quite a few. Give me more please give me more.
Taste this:

Dreams come to those who aren’t sleep
Vivid imaginations are grown from bright images
I lie down with a song of fire
My eyes flutter from sleepless visions
Hopeful thoughts flood my moods
Running free through my consciousness
I become self aware

I want to run
Create a passage for me
A passage to freedom
Safety from what consumes me
My soul yearns fro for peace
Light a way toward existence
I need to breath again

This is beautiful Savaslas... It was a morning eye opener for me
I try to never let anyone cloud by victory
Push to accept their underdeveloped ministry
I cry out loud how life is suppose to be
Then I refrain from the subjected version of your definition of me
Hot tears burn through white clouds
Cheeks turn red and melt from the fiery lava
Flames escape exploding eyes at a rate impossible to measure
Midnights echo the screams of lonely nights gone by
The heat too hot for arms to smother the flame

I cry
Hot tears burn through white clouds
Cheeks turn red and melt from the fiery lava
Flames escape exploding eyes at a rate impossible to measure
Midnights echo the screams of lonely nights gone by
The heat too hot for arms to smother the flame
No cover could contain it
Density builds as heart beats fuel to ignite the inferno
The winds yell to proceed with caution
Smoke is coming faster than a raging summer storm
An exhale is stronger than a dragon's breath
Inhales just add to the the pressure

Essence of Forgiveness
The bright red flash of the robins breast
Excites the eyes of lonely children at play
Visions of beauty squeal, tap, and sing
Capturing the hearts of bystanders
Those that look on into the noon sky
Shadows of surprise send the invitation
Inviting love to knock on doors awaiting no one
Memories fail those attempting to rethink life to this point
Cardinal's wings sparkle against the sun
Circling bees send the alert of sweetness
All leaving a trace of forgiveness in the scent of the breeze
Excites the eyes of lonely children at play
Visions of beauty squeal, tap, and sing
Capturing the hearts of bystanders
Those that look on into the noon sky
Shadows of surprise send the invitation
Inviting love to knock on doors awaiting no one
Memories fail those attempting to rethink life to this point
Cardinal's wings sparkle against the sun
Circling bees send the alert of sweetness
All leaving a trace of forgiveness in the scent of the breeze
