where have they taken me?... where now can i turn?
not kidnapped by force, but by my own decisions
i let myself be guided by greed, by loss, by anger
by circumstance, by pride, by lust, by guilt
and in such choices, i have built my own distruction
a great and hidious beast it is...
both powerful and aware of all my flaws
and yet i find myself sitting..
observing this evil thing that i have created...
as it tears down those people i love, those i hold dear
as it pulls me further from the near past..
into my near dark future...
one of pain and regret, of loose and sorrow
why have i let it become such a monstrosity?
why have i chosen to ignore it's presence till now?
why do i choose to let it continue to control me?
these are the kinds of choices that made it
i chose to let what was once a small shadow in my soul
become a truly massive, distructive entity..
one that surpasses my own emotion understanding.
one that carries me along like a great dark wave
inside of me somewhere must be the answer..
it has to be... doesn't it?
don't all things the like of this have a solution?
a shining, heroic point of understanding?
one that will come forth.. present it's self to me..
and serve to arm me in my stuggle to vanquish this thing
but as i await this wisdom..
i am further intrenched by my choice of inaction..
in letting time pass.. in waiting..
i have once again impowered my burden...
let it pull me further into the abyss of my dispair...
i must make a choice...
for indecision in it's self is a choice
but will my action; or lack there of.. help or hinder me?
Lost Inside Myself
i posses a selfish knowledge
i posses a selfish pride
i am filled with foolish longings
i have a sickness deep inside
and when you look at me- look at me
can you see my flaws
when you look at me- look at me
can you see the cracks...
...in my really
i am traped inside my habits
i am trapped inside my mind
i'm inprisoned in feelings
in dreams i cannot seem to find
...a song in progress...

An elder Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life. He said to them, "A fight is going on inside me ... it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.
One wolf represents fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.
The other stands for joy, peace, love, hope, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
The same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too."
They thought about it for a minute and then one child asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old Cherokee simply replied..." The one you feed."
