Hunger Pains

Hunger Pains

By: Tyler Ross

I know that you don’t see me,

but I love you still.

I’ve found my time is needy,

and I’m lacking the will.

To see outside of me

and my selfish ways.

We just pretend to be strong,

while caught up in our own waves.

Tumbling and crashing,

trying to take the reins.

Struggling and disconnecting,

feeding our own hunger pains.

I know that you don’t hear me,

but I love you still.

I’ve been working on myself,

trying to stabilize this commitment pill.

To know its hurting to see

and feel these words.

This distance isn’t just torture.

It’s crushing and for the birds.

Tumbling and crashing,

trying to take the reins.

Struggling and disconnecting,

feeding our own hunger pains.

Long Walks On The Beach

Long Walks On The Beach

By: Tyler Ross

I see the changes in the wind

trying to get me down again.

But I won’t let them win.

Not gonna wait it out indoors

even if it rains then pours,

when I want so much more.

Won’t let anyone stand in my way

even if day after day,

they try to cloud the extra shine I seek.

I’ve waited so many weeks

at the bottom of hazy peaks

screaming up, 

do you remember me?

Pretty music plays mentally.

I want to be and feel so free.

Like the ocean all around me.

No more dreams.

No more hope.

Making the best of this reality

and continue to work hard,

happily I quote.

Give me some extra tranquility,

I’m trying to damn near cope

living in this world of insanity.
