Pinpoints of Life
A guilty soul
A stained Spirit
Salty tears
I don’t fear it
Soiled dress
Invisible strength
Eat the mud
I go to great lengths
Walled in
Caved in
Everyone’s in
Let’s go in
Troubled Ego
Trapped heart
Scattered thoughts
Don’t even start
Come and go
With great ease
In and out
Whenever you please
Frame my life
Put it in a box
Thirteen keys
For seven locks
Scented air
Fragrant rose
Painted fingers
Redeem your foes
Much nature
A lot alone
A solid whisper
Just the right tone
Music soothes
Night air calms
The scared weep
Repeat the psalms
Save her life
Discourage yours
Tell me again
Respect your Lord
Desperate kisses
Keep me here
I am of fools
But I don’t fear
A quaint type
Full of surprise
Little one
Of deceit and lies
Mangled face
Tangled hair
Hear the sound
Of the evil stare
Keep coming
Leave me alone
Tell the secrets
Try not to condone
Sell yourself
The Devil awaits
Jesus is free
Call for your fate
Defy the system
Straighten your face
Pretty teeth
This isn’t a race
See the hope
Fell down the hill
Hear the glory
Keep it still
Admire her
Despise the life
The skin of truth
Cuts the knife
Feed the worry
Listen for the one
I know to stay
Until it is done
Propel your life
Towards the sun
Live in hope
Jump the gun
One by one
Until it’s two
Say your sorry
Make believe it’s true
Plan ahead
Draw the curtain
Believe in death
Unless you’re certain
Mix your superstitions
Drown them in sorrow
Brush them away
There is no tomorrow
Express your expression
Held back by support
Approach the bench
Suppress the court
Seem to be real
Tell them your lie
Keep on living
Until you die
Why don’t you speak
Your voice is so numbing
I need not feel
Please, say something
If this is what
It’s all about
I don’t want it
Let me out.
