Choice

 Influence

Is fleeting

The things we can change

Are within


We cannot push the boundaries

We cannot change the past


Accept what it is

Accept yourself


Others don't influence

What makes you, you 


The death of you

Dwells within


I hoped to accommodate

The wished within

I hoped to accelerate

The fire within


I was wrong

So very wrong

The fight

Is in you


I can only provide the basis

By which you can choose

If it's me or you 

Or the death of me and you

I am, 13

 I am still here

not that it matters

I am still here

Longer than anyone


I am

Not enough

I am just an imposter

For you


I am

The one who had been here

I am 

The fool who believed 


I am 



ME

 There is no control

1, 2, 3 ,4 

I feel the beat

The drive to the melody


I felt the verse before the chorus

I lived the verses in order

I forgot the holdover

The hook, the cut, the memory


I forgot

me



What You give

 You wanted to find love

It's been so very long

You want to feel the freedom

You want to be wanted


Little did you know

That the secret to love

Is inside you

It's been there forever


The only thing to know

About love

is that you get 

what you give


What you give


I tried to be a hero

I was wrong

So wrong , I can't explain

You wouldn't get it


There is nothing

Stopping your love

There is nothing 

Keeping you down


Little did you know

That the secret to love

Is inside you

It's been there forever


You get what you give

What you give

Whatever you are willing

To connect with

To part with

To be with 

To alleviate

To elevate

To be a 

Part of


Love isn't something you get

It's something you give

Interdimensional Being

 There was a slit

In the timeline

I burst through

Like an atom bomb


The metal of creation

Burns deep within

The carbon form

Takes shape


Don't count me out

Don't count on me


I'm a figment


Interdimensional Being

Drips of uncertainty

Interdimensional Being

All about me


Breathe the breath of life

Exhale the waste of yesterday

Inhale hope and dreams

Export existential reach


I'm a figment


Take my hand

I lead you far away

Take my hand

There nothing left anyway


I tried to make it about you

But I'm an

Interdimensional Being

A being 


Within the realm of possibility

Without the realm of nothingness

I am a being

I am 


Interdimensional

Being


Feed my love

Feed my soul


Feed me

 


I am, Part XII

 I am


Still

Always

Forever

yours


I am


Above

Beyond 

and below

comprehension


I am 

absolute

Undeterred

Unfortunate


I

Am 


part

again

20

 There's been something for you

Hiding in plain sight

for twenty years


But did you read it?

Sunrise

So dependable, to a fault

Irrefutable, I am not


But I've been here

Standing in your way

I've stayed here

No matter how you swayed


And like the sunrise

 I will be here in the morning

Like the sunrise

In mourning


Like the sunrise

I will help you greet the day

Like the sunrise

It is the only way, for me

Gone

 Shh

The time to speak has passed

The moment, like so many others

Gone

In an instant


A blink of the eye

And the world moves on

Completely

Incoherently

Gone


I hoped for so much better

I prayed for your return

Instead, I received nothing

Not a word

Forlorn


Between the silences

Beneath the shadows tall

I hid from you

I hid from me

Gone


The sunlight warm

The moonlight cool

the in-between 

So smooth 

And uneventful


I long for the friction

the Passion

the heat 

before

we're 

Gone

I am, Part XI

 I am here

I have been here

I have moved on from one chapter

I have moved into another

I have slipped and damaged

myself

I am

drinking too much again

For reasons you wouldn't

understand


I am

still here

still lonely

still wondering what it would be like

to be adored the way I adore

To be admired

To truly be 

appreciated


I am

still

I am old

I am dying

while living

I am a stupid optimist

I am a fool

I am a man of means

to an end

I am a man

I am





Like Batman

 Like Batman bending the rules

I tried to make it work for me

Aboard this ship of fools

How did that work for me?


I seek justice

I seek love

I seek forgiveness

Push came to shove

Like Batman

I'm gone in the night

Like Batman

A dark night


The comics got it wrong

There is nothing worth it

No true love song

No redemption to be had


I seek justice

I seek love

I seek truth

Like Batman


Never had I been so alone

Unsheltered against the cold

Never had I wished I had gone

And gave up all hope

I forgave your sins

You count mine

I forgave your indiscretions

You weaponized mine

Like Batman

Seeking Vengeance

Seeking Justice

Punishing those who love

Who gave you everything


I seek justice

I seek love

I seek forgiveness

Push came to shove

Like Batman

I'm gone in the night

Like Batman

A dark knight

Underfoot

 I was there

did you see me?

did you feel my presence

in the room?


I was there

Did you want me

did you care that

I wanted you?


I am here

and I see me

and you

for what you truly are


I am here

and I feel used

 and alone

And out of reach


There is nothing more I can do

without losing more and more of myself

There is nothing more I can give

Without fading into the darkness


There is nothing more

for me to do

except finally get out of the way

get out from being

under 

your foot
