Exhausted Dump Truck of Thoughts
by Inverted Soul

I go home
and feel like a ghost,
Just floating alone.

I'm stuck in my head,
It's to troubled to rest.
I struggle to find
what happens next??

My bodies in need,

Derailed and Deranged
by Inverted Soul

When estranged from myself
and no farther to fall
No feeling inside,
none left at all.

Fracture my heart
as It shatters i pause
To hold up in time,
away from cause.

Drowning Clown
by Inverted Soul

Found dressed like a clown,

it's all happening again

All These
by Pijush Biswas

All these, Distress, Strain, Owe
Fight to the ages' demand
Or, crave for attainment, to bestow
The world, hand by hand.

All these, Love, Mercy, Pity

Manifest the eternity to beauty
When Hate, too long, spent.

Broken and Frowned
by Inverted Soul

As I am losing control
I go for broke
throughout the madness
and begining to choke

Alive in my mind
I can't speak for myself
spent half of my life
I've spent it in Hell
