Do you realize
The elements that shape you
What defines your mind
Do you
Understand the origins
Of your horrors and your joys
All the people
And places you have been to
All the smells
All images and touches
Do you feel them swirling
Through your hot brain matter
Do you know why
You do the things you do
And why you feel
The way you think you should
Do you realize
Do you
Hear the whispers
Of your deepest wishes
Can you see them how
They distort and twist
Your naked identity
Do you feel it
Your skin is cracking
With noises in your blood
Your subconsciousness creeping
In your body
In corners of your mind
Can you separate it
Can you become pure again
Can you comprehend
Your elusive personality
As a realized possibility
As a probable entity
The elements that shape you
What defines your mind
Do you
Understand the origins
Of your horrors and your joys
All the people
And places you have been to
All the smells
All images and touches
Do you feel them swirling
Through your hot brain matter
Do you know why
You do the things you do
And why you feel
The way you think you should
Do you realize
Do you
Hear the whispers
Of your deepest wishes
Can you see them how
They distort and twist
Your naked identity
Do you feel it
Your skin is cracking
With noises in your blood
Your subconsciousness creeping
In your body
In corners of your mind
Can you separate it
Can you become pure again
Can you comprehend
Your elusive personality
As a realized possibility
As a probable entity

Writing
I am a writer
I write what
I wish I could say
Trapping my feelings
On paper everyday
I am a writer
I write what
I see around me
My eyes; wide open
Have set me free
I am a writer
I write what
I need to do
Clear and confused
Just give me a clue
I am a writer
I write what I feel
And I feel what I write
But when I stop feeling
I stop writing
And my little world
Starts reeling
I am a writer
Who writes to find reason
And maybe even some treason
In this world
Where insanity rules
Behind a piece of paper marked:
"Here are the fools"

I Will Not Be Hypnotized
I will not be hypnotized.
I will not be controlled. I will not be owned, I will not be confused. My mind will stay clear and strong, and I will remain my own man.
Your colored lights will not dazzle me. Your loud voices will not command me. Your images will not trick me, destroy me, and rule my mind. Crack into my skull and just try to take a hold on it, there is no grasp for you to find.
I will remain my own man, and I will not be owned.
Because I will not be hypnotized.
I will not be pressured.
I will not be forced, I will not be tricked.
I will not listen to the voices of the multitudes. Two and two is four, one and one is two. A th

Paradigm Shift
Emerging flash of starlight pap
between sunset and ocean cap
colliding spang into my eyes
for once to have me realize
not everything becomes a song,
and I shall sleep before too long.

I've been thinking lately about what it means to be yourself, how one's personality is shaped and why we are who we are. The question of existence of free will aside, there are things in our mind that we do or even don't remember, shaping our every day decisions.
What would it mean for one to completely understand why he / she acts in a certain way or why things in one's life turned out to be the way they are? Does the understanding itself free us to some extent from the influences of the past? Or are we just pawns of the past events, mindlessly reacting to what is racing through our brain, having barely enough self-awareness to realise that we exist?

Not bad. I feel a mixture of materialism and astral realms melting together to form a shape which later becomes what humanity calls "human". The sad part is that even if humanity realizes that one lives a material life with a purpose which is leading the soul to a higher realm, the person has to let go of "the fear of the unknown" concept and than he or she can awaken truly. About the past, well a very wise mentor said "You must let go of the past, because it is like a dead person" and i would like to put a little more to the end of this quote: "And how long do you wish to torture, the dead persons soul?"
