Raging Fury

by: EJ

As the storm blows in,

Balls of light explode within the clouds,

The brightness pouring over the edges,

Giving a mere glimpse of the inner turmoil,

You can't quite hear it yet,

But with each flash,

You know the war rages on,

The closer and closer the storm gets,

The more you can feel it in your bones,

The sudden crack of thunder,

Sends shivers through your spine,

As lightning crashes down,

You feel the burn in your eyes,

Temporary blindness ensues,

The eye of the storm,

Isn't always eerily quiet,

The rumbling sound of destruction and chaos,

Nature in its full fledged glory,

Captivating in its magnificent fury,

Rolling along like the earth and sky,

Are coming to devour you whole,

After the storm passes,

You're left sopping wet from nature's saliva,

Surviving the greatest of storms,

Leaves you with adrenaline pumping,

Leaving you feeling that raging war within.

Truckin

by: EJ

The red glare from passing tail-lights,

Curiosity strikes once again,

Who are they and whats their story,

Where is this journey taking them,

Each to his own exit,

Changing lanes is simple second nature,

So many paths intertwined,

Non-stop merging and yielding,

There are those who cut it close to live dangerously,

A little excitement,

To drown out the mind-numbing sound of the road,

Unfortunately some never make it to their destination,

But the pace moves on nevertheless,

Continuously in motion,

Its a matter of being driven to keep going,

Or be run over and left to rust,

There will be plenty of detours along the way,

Hopefully some road trips of a lifetime,

We'll all come to a dead end someday,

But in the meantime,

There are infinite roads waiting to be explored,

I hope when we cross paths,

On one of these old dirt back roads,

That we'll both wave,

As if to say keep on truckin,

Theres still more out there to enjoy,

Good luck.

Caution

by: EJ

Mindless self-indulgence,

Really just sheer denial of the truth,

The ultimate choice of living,

After finally being made,

Is ironically frowned upon,

Fuck all of you hypocrites,

And your criticisms,

I've hidden from the world,

Stepping aside to let everyone else live,

I had waited far too long,

Finally gaining mental clarity,

My decision was obvious,

Diving in head first into this infinite abyss,

Quite different from running full fledged into a brick wall,

My options are endless,

Daring to risk all,

But taking caution with my heart,

I know what I want from life,

Only my path is unclear,

Atleast I'm willing to take it one step at a time,

I'm finally indulging in life,

And I don't see the problem in actually living,

Its not careless and thoughtless,

If appearing as too much too fast,

All I can say is I do have some catching up to do.
