Feeding The Fire Refusing to let the light burn out in this lifetime Let the burning embers ignite action With the wood & wind The flame shall sustain With continued maintenance Building up To burn bright The warm To comfort the chaos A sign To re-align with the design Division from the collision Enhancing decisions Embracing emotions Faced with the tears And all the memories through the years Memorializing to live on Long after their gone Brave through the brokenness ...

Cracks In The Castle Outside or within Where to begin? Sowing up the sin Mending to win What in? Deep within? Where the hurt began Why? Must we? Yes Put it to the test To reset And invest To re-press The weight of the world Diminishing away At the end of day From the action Laced with passion The pain of the game Reframe Set the aim Knowing your name Refueling the flame Burning away The decay Diagnosing distinction Making decisions With intuition And aligned vision Stationed foundat...

Lost In Translation Flooding the floor I can't take this life anymore Opening up the flesh To help forget Puncturing the pain To open the vein Let nothing remain Bleeding out the disdain Staining sanity Saturated in sickness I can't quit this A room that I will never leave Bound to forever I go in, but don't come out alive From the life I denied Dead to the world Beaten to a pulp I can't take another step

Why?! A question with no need for an answer It's out of my control Advance in acceptance Receive what is decreed A nightmare of an outcome Paralyzing Analyzing Crying Goodbying Memorializing So much life left So many questions to ponder the mind racing endlessly in wonder A mystery of memories Musing Mentally drained Thoughts deranged Why does it continually rain? Remember the past Not to dwell in grief Continue to seek Life in the light Don't waste the time here Even as the scars...

Eyes The determination in those eyes Hardworking Sweat Tears Never to be deterred No matter the obstacles Inspiration An invitation An opportunity To unity With peace in the mind Colliding the chaos Cultivating creations Killing the cancer Continually calling Falling To rise again To take a stand And see where we began Fueling the fire Matched by desire Even when feeling tired Life taking higher To much, it require Iron ironically Sharpening skills Heightening thrills Amongst the hill...

A Shipwreck In A Bottle Colliding with these barriers Contradiction in conversation Collaboration on the invasion Building bubbles Closing in concern to burst Fragile fragments Flying futility The illness that lives in me Surfacing Wanting to be faced Not applying some kind of mask But navigate head on So, it doesn't rear its ugly head Yet again The worry some waves Building from the tears Through the years Bleed out the overflow So, it has some where to go What shall I do with ...

Making ways Into the new Inside of me As You break through Making A Way God You're making a way As I pray to You He's making a way As I pray for you Making ways Into the new Inside of me As You break through Guide me from my wicked ways Guide me to Your loving grace Create in me a clean heart So, I may have a fresh start Undeserving of Your mercy Though thankful eternally for the infinite blessings It's alright to not feel okay Don't be lead astray For God will make a way Though t...

*Inspired by the song Hostage by Chelsea Grin Hostage Housing Obscurities Satisfying Tendencies Agonizing Guilt Exponentially Time we'll wasted Getting wasted Faded into the fantasy Dancing in ecstasy Fixated on the enemy Entranced The subtle infiltration A progression Possessing Personifying Identifying Integrating Identity Denting distinction Intoxicating instinct Attracted to the atrocity Desiring to decay Beginning to fray Stitching being removed An unhealed wound Bleeding from a...

Crying For Help Continually corrupting my mind Convincing me to hide my pain It's not significant enough to convey It's easier to continue the habits The enemy twisting the truth Blinding Now realizing reality Revealing my battles I can't contain Unable to conquer on my own Suffering in silence for far to long Hiding so well, living in this hell Nobody's fault but mine Being reeled in by temptation Intrigued to try What it's like to get high The feeling longed to persist Taking away t...

Hello Everyone! Welcome to Poetry By Taylor Fink! My name is Taylor Fink. Now that I've released ten of my poems, I'd like to do a little introduction. Over the past few years my writing has drastically developed. From journaling to this rhythmic articulation of experience. Expressing how I feel. As well as sorting through situations and seasons. Through this life journey. Only from what I've seen and felt. I can't speak for other people's experiences. That's not my story to tell. In life i...

Locked On Lust Temptation becoming overwhelming Unrelenting attacks Unable to relax Continued until viewed Gripping my mind Seeming to be no way out Being surrounded by doubt Focus shifted from the true perspective Away from the purpose Prevented to surface By those afraid of who God's made Placing barriers to keep separated Blinded away, not seeing the savior Becoming a shell of self Being unaccepting of the help Living in dysfunction Believing it's normal And there's no better way...

Music Mind Music marinated in the mind Devising the lines Reaching out to the cry To those living by lines Climbing above the sky Stuck in the clouds And don't want to come down Back to earth Investing in work In finding worth Through the world Withering the worry, of fitting in Practicing placing the grin That's been grim within Growing thin In the chase for the win Only to lose more and more Proceeding the wrong way It's okay Reframe & focus Reducing doses Gaining back the one...

To Kill Ya Quilt wrapped around Face plant on the ground Suffocated & sedated Dating back in time When the future was in mind Investing in ventures Venting the victim Victoriously vacating the vagabond Suiting up so strong Writing the wrong Ringing reducing the roar Ravenously creeping Seeking to slaughter What a bother Finding the falter Falling down at the altar Torn to pieces From the inability to resist Cynically clashing Dashing to grasp The rasp Sanding away the skin Kindl...

To Dust DNA intertwined Ascending down the line Traits tailored within Shown as a familiar grin Shining on through time Dealt for opportunity to deal Through the past there's opportunity to heal Living real In reality Out of the fallacy Tripping over the fault lines Drawn by the hand Needed to be reprimanded Self-will demanded Suffering just as I planned it Oh, so blind Unable to see behind The hindrance hiding For the back of my head With the plan for me to wind up dead Ding Dong! ...

Binding The Column Compromising integrity Fixated on a feeling Unable to let go Searching for healing The hollow That follows The echo Etched in time From persevering the chains that bind Wrapped around Suffocating Relocating the mind To a better place in time Stay in the present While pressing forward Rewarded by the investment Venting all the questions Continuing the quest Stumbling over all the yets Keeping in mind, as to not forget Forging ahead The mind made new Dumping out the s...

Acknowledging Agitations Arising tides Overwhelming the mind Taking a look from elsewhere To understand the despair Beginning to repair Through becoming aware From the ways the enemy attempts to scare Prepare Suit up & show up Pressure repressed Ignoring irritation Irrational instincts Intersecting agony Gone again, against the wind Winding up, wilting away Weathered, dead, & gray Dealing with doses Hopeless heartache So weak it's ready to break All the mistakes Again, to ba...

Woe is me Why can't I let myself be? Berating the behavior Descending to the dungeon Instead of learning to function The conjunction of the junkie Unable to see the key That's right in front of me Menacing morbidity Incarceration to infinity The problematic perspective From the dumb detective Duh! The deviance devised Stems from the devil that hides Conspiring to spread wide the lies To multiply & occupy the mind Investing in the middle Infected with the riddle Drowned out by the fidd...

Welcome Home Lost soul Come to become whole Molding your role Wearing the sole Fulfilling the soul Shed the weight and surrender To a way of living better To make way for the new The brighter visions in view What will you choose? What are you willing to lose? Descending to worse Or Deciding to put in the work? Of course, "Things could be worse" "I'll be fine" Starting to deny Declining, to get high Losing sight, in the eye Why ? Who knows As the symptoms show Unwillingness to grow Bestow ...

The Invitation The Invitation The Initiation The home invasion I can't explain it Tangible Torture Unable to see the order What is this for? Am I needing more? In time I shall explore Experiences extracted Mistakes manifested Festering feelings Feeding forgiveness Given a nest For times of rest As God invests With every test Learning to reset All that is to resent Meant to take us out Lingering in a life full of doubt As if there's no way out All this surmounts Against certain...
