Panoptic Destruction Cryptic instructions Like the layers of an onion Breaking through each one, Only to find another The revelation bringing a tear To your eye Separation from a fear inside As the distraction prys Irrational actions of analytical mechanics From a mind that wanders Seeking answers, When the question itself is unknown. Digging for treasure, we bury the flowers.
Cast aside the flask
for I've watched the last of my sorrows
be washed up in a bottle.
Throwing away
every hard earned dollar
for a sip of false freedom.
How long
must I watch my reruns
of the same mistakes
that poison the vision of tomorrow.
Drip drop
I'll break the chains
Flip flop
Back in the hole again.
Like a fish out of water
I feel I need it
I know that I don't
but it's just so damn easy.
I am nothing.
Behind this veil of a smile
lies a coward in denial.
Observing, watching the world turning,
spiraling out of control.
I have heard the thoughts,
the unspoken voices of many;
sickening, sad, violent and full of want,
never at ease with what is.
We are led to believe
that we
deserve or are entitled to things.
Such has created unease in myself
for my own importance
is unequaled to that of
societies' acceptable addictions.
What makes any of us
more important than another.
We are all living,
breathing
organic beings
interacting collectively
on this plane.
Yet...
I still continue to smile,
to love all that is around
We say "they"
like they are not us,
but they are an "us"
that is lost,
confused and deluded
by inconvenient truths of a world polluted.
Driven by a fear that,
without control,
there is chaos.
Let the chaos reign
for it is the engine of change,
the driving force of evolution,
peeling away at the
layers and masks of illusion.
They are an "us"
we choose not to be.
Deceiving the mind
to believe that happiness lies
not in the lives that we breathe,
but in the lies and the greed
that fills the pockets of politicians,
lined with the cries of countless victims
on which they feed.
Power mongers are they,
determined to dominate.
Con
Never have I felt so used and useless as I do now.
Please throw me away and flush me to the gutter.
I can't take any more of this torture.
Like a fool I fell victim, giving in to your every whim.
Still looking for something better, I'm set aside and toyed with.
It's tearing me apart. It's tearing me apart.
I'll put on my mask and say it's all right.
Wipe away the tears for it's just another restless night.
Withered away as I give in without a fight.
I keep my mouth shut so as to not make you cry.
With each time I do this, I'm feeding the lie.
It's tearing me apart. It's tearing me apart.
Trying so hard to please.

I am Timn Freignen and this is my story:
Another night approaches in Logo City as I wind down with some Bourbon and Coffee. Listening to Radiored, I reflect upon Nietzsche's' ideas of Will to Power. How is it that majority of the human race has become such a Lazy Ass Destroyer of the Earth. Such Tormented Minds. Search
Cursed is I who must suffer,
Who must endure
These throes of loneliness
Thrown into the thorns
Left alone to fend off
These spiny vines of defense
Which only hurt when struggled against
Alas, this curse is placed upon me
By mine own self
Chasing impatient endeavors
Impartial to others restraints
Let not pity be shown
Thy tears shall become wasted
Thy prayers lost
With the parting of lips
Not only mine own
Nay, a thousand lost voices
Grasping their vices
Reflecting imperfection upon thine eyes
Blind to the hearts true calling
For when I were but a child
Lesser evils did entreat
Binding and holding a cold dark heart
Beat
Perceiving what you see to be reality
Following dreams to escape the duality.
When in believing what you feel,
Feeling thoughts fill empty spaces.
Spaces so dark, for they've not seen the light.
Dark places where we like to hide.
Hiding from ourselves,
The things that make us cry.
The fears that haunt us,
That keep us awake at night.
Another day, another number
Hours washed away in a see of slumber
Sleeping days, becoming years
Lives come and go
Lovers and loved ones lost
Misplaced emotions
Placing masks upon faces.
Facing ourselves, we see
We're chasing a ghost.
Perseverance through patchwork
A sewn up heart
Pick up the
Trekking through the desert of the mind
Leaving the ego far behind
Crossing vast expanses of past experience
Slowing down to glance back
There is no shadow, only tracks
Tracks leading back to a self you once were
Lost among the mass distractions, searching
Looking for an answer
Fighting your battles from a distance
As to not take chances of falling victim
Joining the ranks of countless fallen
Failing to slay their dragons
The guardians of happiness are created
By the barriers we've established
Struggling with sorrow, we find ourselves stuck
Living lives lost in the reruns of yesterday
When tomorrow brings more misfortune
Cause You're There by TheAppleScientist, literature
Literature
Cause You're There
Cause you're there
When I am mad, sad, suffocating
Trying to run away from my frustration, away from myself
-you're there, holding my hand
There, to help me face it, deal with it, be strong and overcome my hurts and disappointments
You're there
Cause you're there
When I am happy, flying high in skies unexplored
-you're there, knowing exactly why I am smiling and you smile with me
I've never seen a hint of jealousy or selfishness in your eyes
Always true, always sincere- isn't that rare?
Cause you're there, even when you're actually not with me
-you're there
Your spirit lies deep within my soul, keeping my heart warm and full.

My name is James, mostly I spend my time on here looking at everyone else's artwork. I like to walk around outside and take pictures of stuff which sometimes inspires me to write. Anyway, hope you enjoy my work. Comments and criticism are always welcome.

Despite it being a few years since I've posted anything, I've still been viewing and admiring all the beautiful, original creations by the deviant artists worldwide, and have still been writing, just haven't made time to share such things. Since life told me to slow down (broke my ankle jumping off some rocks), I've some time to catch up on some of the things I miss. I've recently put a good deal of writing on the computer and will be uploading it over time. Thank you for being you and may we all continue to create and enjoy all this world and our imaginations have to offer.
Have a grateful day.
It's been a while since I've written anything here, and all is still well. Despite economic struggle I still have a job, house, car and most importantly loving friends and family. It's been an eventful summer and now I'm ready for winter to bring with it a new motivation, as it usually does.
Even though this was the mildest winter I've ever experienced, I'm ready for the warm weather. Bring on the sun, bring down the rain, it's time for summer again. Camping and biking, kayaking and hiking. Festival season is here and I'm looking forward to hearing good music accompanied by new faces.
Thank you. So far, so good. I had cake for lunch last night at work (third shift) and parents coming out for dinner later. Maybe it'll snow for my birthday , until then, listening to some tunes .
