Joshua Gallatin

I know that face I’ve seen it before
Just before I walked out the door
It was the time I’d left you behind
Cause I didn’t love you no more
...

find yourself nightly thinking
creating doubt and uncertainty
a negative self consciousness
is the only remaining hope
...

Door opens slowly
Grouped together
Small chairs
Sweaty palms
...

In the age of computers
Fax email and cell phones
Connections can rise
Old ways become deceased
...

Soothing pleasure coursing through veins
Pressure rising and skin pulsing
Negative thoughts completely evaporated
Touches enhanced endorphins elevated
...

...

It is the poets goal to manage a feeling into words
Manage an understanding into song
lyrically proclaim a belief
Proclaim a love in a psalm
...

whats it take to be an average joe.
i guess you have to be average
in the middle of everything
average build
...

Dark areas surround the inner most of your spirit
Only thoughts blank like the start of a page
Each direction written leaves another open space
Turning back to your start and it is no longer there.
...

...

My ability is only in my heart and mind
It is controlled by my understanding of others
And others only become understandable
Inside me
...

A suppressed past, blocked behind a sturdy wall
Hurt that left me far away, hidden from
Something that truly meant it all
How do you turn from a friend to a lover?
...

Beat after beat
Hit after hit
Volume is blurred
No one will sit
...

Fog builds in the dark room
The music starts to build
The crowd waits in a huddle
Water drops fall from the upper pipes
...

Youth is sought after by the masses
Stay young and stay strong
Stay healthy and you’ll stay long
I’ve felt my youth wither
...
