The Real Riles...
 
This section includes a daily quotation and a sample of my personal work. All of the featured poetry/song lyrics are original...so don't steal them.

Behind You 
Shifting through this maze
Each one of my days
So many voices
through the hallways of my mind
Bouncing back and forth
I just can't leave them behind me
They tell me the way is this,
no, the way is that
Why can't life be the way
that is was supposed to be?
The fact is I'm trying so sincerely
But what I see and what I hear
They just don't match up
I'm too far behind
 
Too far behind
I'll never catch up
Too far behind
Things won't ever match up
No matter how many times I tell
It just won't be enough
 
When I look around me
in a place like this
I'm forced to believe in something
that I know can't exist
I'm tired of bearing my heart
exposed for everyone to see
So it can be cremated and crushed
Here's to the greatest falicy
that the world's ever created
A mock-up, something for people
to follow
A mirage that people chase
a sweetness they can't taste
 
They're too far behind
They'll never catch up
Too far behind
Things won't ever match up
No matter how many times I tell
It just won't be enough
 
So now I'm done being burned
sick of waiting my turn
Watching others find gold
that isn't meant for
the beggar in me
I know I'm impaired
Because of the hallucinations I see
I recognize the disability
so prevalent in me
The endless array of demons
haunting, laughing, mocking my pain
keeping me awake all night
fighting for the chance
to see morning's first light
With no sign of change
I embrace the reality of my life
 
I'm Too far behind
I'll never catch up
Too far behind
Things won't ever match up
No matter how many times I tell
It just won't be enough
