Misconception Point by Micah Carter

Digging out from the center, no splendor indeed, no need

In order to function, no perception, connection broken

Out of the shadows I've fallen

Stalling for a light at the corner of my eyes

Please hold on to this while I awaken the tearful triumph

Prying and tying me down

This failed gain of learned intellect

Must be checked, how to dissect, how to split

And as if the sound wasn't troubling enough already, tears are steady

Lucky as they are, they would never know who I am

Not but a man, staying aboard the sand

Slowly dragging the hand

Sense of Touch by Micah Carter

You don't now have to worry about the skin touching against your own ideas

Raw possibilities made us cold with sweat so easily

Sudden and swift moments are missed

As though they were not so important so vital

The only thing we can escape is our constantly morphing train of thought

Don't get caught, brain will rot

Fill the slot with change for the better

Touching you, singing, dancing as a cancer

Fearing, hearing, trusting the answer

Facts are not trusting but apparently noticeable

The Other Side by Micah Carter

Their eyes are so lonely and their hearts are so gray


Longing for something to trickle their way


Outsude, such bitter cold


Such a dark cloud to behold


Unto no one shall their stories be told


For them there lies inside only fear


Eyes only swelling and drained of the tears


They walk the same earth


They share the same sun


The hopeless mother and daughters


And old lonely ones


With no riches and wealth, no greed to forget


What they never had leaves no room for regret


If only we were capable to share


If only we had hearts to care

Dim light

Acting on old, fragile faith, we aren't alone

Singing my song, gracing a tone

How to condone

Where to move further, when to ensure

Death is much stronger than life we endure

What was said, now fades away

Bright as a star, short like the day

Take another gasping breath my friend

Mutter so softly, this is the end

Welcome home

Finally, a soldiers feet entangled upon unfamiliar shores

Slowly moving, their spray shatters the glistening waters

Only one way to find out behind the lines

The country now flustered with dust in the air, only a newborn is saved

And now I trust them to believe by bitter faith

How they were betrayed

If a sea if wildlife were only stronger, for centuries they would pass by,

solemn and distraught

A new savior runs their temple as if consuming of trustworthiness

Assuming a kiss, such mortal bliss

As if they rest their aching bones here, who was I to become

Noone and none
