Garathe Den Poems

Don't hesitate to write
The moment you feel inspired
Because it doesn't take much
To kindle these fires
...

Life is unpredictable
And it can be a heavy one
Beat you up into a pulp
And not even be remotely done
...

I see you, and seeing you
I bring you into being
Creation in acknowledgment
The whole world, it is beaming
...

Not afraid of strife, war
Bloodshed, destruction
I was raised with this in my life
It is the source of my corruption
...

Life lesson
101
Nobody will hurt you more
Than someone you love
...

They've called me the lion
Ever since my birth
The world in amazement
The eyes that all observe
...

So much pressure being weighed
And I am trying not to cave
Collapsing to expectations
Of an anti-dream's display
...

Stasis
The world's response to fear
How so easily
You let your life be commandeered
...

I'm walking on thin ice
Weighing like an anchor
Cracks beneath my feet
This is clear and present danger
...

All I see is fruit
Some of it is rotten
Hold my breath and fear the scent
It cannot be forgotten
...

Alleviate the consequence
Sacrifice a martyr
Hoodwink the populous
To the genocide of honor
...

The best part of my life
Is that I never needed audience
Didn't need attention
Didn't need approval to gain confidence
...

Emotions have betrayed you
You've traded wrong for wrong
Believed that you were powerless
Instead of standing strong
...

Sometimes in my mind
I think I'm just to shy to thrive
While this pen can pour its heart
My mouth is kept with no reply
...

If money rules the world
We burn money
Instead of being held
To the notion it means something
...

You probably wanted me
To crumble into dust
Had a notion of belief
Completely out of touch
...

Looking outside
"Color-of-your-skin" riot
Kinda feel inclined
To snicker at the "defiance"
...

How do you not acknowledge truth?
You simply turn away
Appalling is the thought
And yet it happens everyday
...

Nobody has empathy
Internet the centerpiece
Declare your propaganda
All racing to supremacy
...

God, we love to vote
Because it matters, truly
So let the Man slit your throats
To hold the ballots of duty
...

The Best Poem Of Garathe Den

[ The Path ]

Don't hesitate to write
The moment you feel inspired
Because it doesn't take much
To kindle these fires
Passions are fleeting
Lost in a dream
And by the time that you wake up
They are never the same

So step to it, lively
Let the song spring from your heart
And if the audience applauds
It's a bonus to impart
But if they mock and ridicule
Don't you waiver from delight
For if the heart can rejoice
There's no need to cave into spite

I've felt that very sting before
Feeling ashamed of something joyful
To embarrassed to stand my ground
And to myself, no longer loyal
And then what's the point
If self cannot be fulfilled
Identity without purpose
Holds nothing which to build

And all because we yield
To the judgements of the lifeless
And all because we think
That sacrifice is righteous
But living self-condemned
Is the antithesis of envy
Who taught us that such a life
Was anything but deadly

It's time to open these coffins
In a hope of resurrection
That we may break from the binds
Of a mindset's infection
That we may heal from the pain
We sustained in suppression
That we may follow our dreams
Without any questions

Because when I was young
My imagination ran wild
Not a height I couldn't reach
Set my sights beyond child
And I clung to my dreams
As they breathed in existence
And when death tried to follow
It was met with resistance

Yet somewhere along the line
I betrayed who I am
And I sacrificed dreams
To the systems of man
And ever since that day
I've been cursed to lament
And it's corrupted me so
That I feel ashamed to repent

So now there's two gods
That dwell in my mind
One that yet dreams
While the other lies blind
And I'm left to decide
Where I'll take my steps
The path to my dreams
Or the path to my death
