Vanish,
It only takes half a second for everything you've ever loved to just vanish
to be diminished
you set your own image
you wish there was no blemish
you are so intertwined with what people on social media think, to where you don't even blink
you say if you do you might miss out
they say, with no doubt
do you even know the people you live with in that house
what there about?
there favorite color?
do you know your own mother?
how about your brother
come on, at least one!
you don't know how to have fun without a stimulant
you said you would only take one hit of it
just a little bit
now look where you are
you can only be seen from afar, behind a freaking bar
you left your family with a scar
not one that's always visible to the naked eye
but one that's deep down in there heart
your life has fell apart
your 16 with no car
you are the reason your life is hard
you know it didn't have to go this far

'Till Death We Do Art
There would be nothing divine in this world without art. Nature may surpass the divine to all intents and purposes, but like everything it absorbs and is absorbed by, it remains here, stuck on the surface of this world, ever-present, physically bound to the universe.

Behind the Curtain A Hidden World
In a world where everything seems visible, there's a place that exists just beyond the eye’s reach, a hidden realm tucked away behind the curtain of daily life. This is not a place marked on any map, nor is it something discussed in the light of day. Yet it exerts an influence that runs deep, shaping the rhythm of our existence and pulling at the threads that hold the fabric of our reality together.
