One day, only the truth will remain,

slowly opening your eyes.

Every breath taken has meaning

when these arms become the place you run.

Instead of running away,

growing a belief in something more.

Something greater than yourself.

Those concentrated endeavors…

So disconnected.

You aspire for more.

Life’s struggles once again

become the only picture you see.

 

Here’s a new canvas.

Inspirational Denial

April 22, 2011

All the while filing the good with the bad

In this cabinet of unforgettable regrets.

Too hard to smile now..

All feeling is almost completely drained of strength.

Patience…

Be patient for what I ask myself.

Cause everytime I look back, it was something that I did wrong.

Like a song repeating over and over again in my head.

Or a constant ringing in my ears,

I hear nothing but the loudest whisper of my past.

A haunting?

No.

A calling to find more, but to accept less.

Life.

The meaning of this small word

So caught up in inevitability…

With this one word, breath is slowly exhaled from the earth.

Like a vapor in the ocean we are nothing.

But like one grain of sand we make the beach one.

Hope is nothing but a cure,

but once this realization is known,

All Hell will break loose to find that This Life brings purpose.

Purpose not to fight and lose.

But to fight and win this neverending battle

that we call Life.

Dying Away

January 21, 2011

In the cool wintry night
Everything around me slowly dying away..
Alomst too harmful to be true..
…True..
Life has a funny way of bringing
you to your knees..
But I would have never thought it would be like this..
Missing too much in Life for..
Anything..
Anyone..
To take any pain away that I might still have left..
As if it’s a blessing to even have Life…
With such a message as to be blamed for who I am..
I’ve forgiven..
I’ve forgotten..
But this past still lingers close behind…
Calloused fingers..
The only things I seem to have left..

Lifetime

December 27, 2010

To define.
Is impossible.
What words will describe what you live.
…It is but a rain drop.
Falling into a puddle…
But with this one drop…
Constant ripples are formed.
Thus, the impression of one life
Has changed us all.
Let this Lesson be learned.
That we yearn for one thing.
To affect the lives around us.
With one word that we never use.

Seconds

December 27, 2010

A year has passed now,
Life slipping away so fast…
With every breath that I take
…one more is taken away…
Seconds are lost,
Lives being the cost.
When will I wake up
and see that change is inevitable.
Yet, I continually fight,
to stay the way I am.
You deserve much better than me.

Today…

December 23, 2010

So amazing…
Finding time out of a carefully made life
to make mine seem so much greater…
Later I’m sure dwelling on this fact
will make my dreams fall into a trance
Standing still for days in a daze.
Your eyes…they light up the sky…
The next time I’ll be fine
is when we are once again..
Caught in a neverending embrace…
Looking nowhere behind us…
Facing everything ahead…
Close your eyes…
Put your hand in mine…
I’ll lead the way…
Our Life begins today…

Rhythm (Reid Chavis ft. Brandon Byerly)

December 17, 2010

Theres no crime from behind,
the sunlight still remains
and from fame to new game
…you should be the same.
And through everything
i saw fall
will still be fall
and youre in trouble
because youve got no rhythm at all.
and so the beat has stopped..
the waves have come to a crashing still..
all is lost…
only silence is needed…
For the fear is gone…

Every Corner (Brandon Byerly ft. Reid Chavis)

December 17, 2010

Life is not bound by feelings derived
by a just injustice
but by the life we see…
to yearn for learning,
seeking out only meek hearts
You say im low,
I should hit the road.
The dangerous trick you play
will always return
in a quick, meek circle.
Lurking around every corner
you see life not up to your standards
so should I lift the curtain
and find that life actually has meaning…

Mysterious

November 17, 2010

To glisten in the sunlight..
fighting almost everyday
to just stay
one piece.

Almost discomforting to know
below this skin bore something just as this.
as if pain could erase what was
laced through my mind.
Sigh…

It’s a life I see
almost too demeaning to be in existence.

It’s this fact
that makes me so mysterious it seems.
So many walls.
so many barriers.
I put up around this stone cold heart.
Apart from time,
debased from my own mind

I can’t even find any reason to fall asleep.
