Read Poem: Per aspera ad astra by Joy Espiel

Diving into the depths of my realms,
Looking for nirvana in my desolation.
Trying to find balance within,
Meditation to transcendence.
Practice what others considered “eclectic”.
Detached…
Detach…
Detached..
and detach…
Being STILL for a moment,
while colours swayed and fade.
Deep lines hiding, passing and forming another,
voices, feelings, thoughts that bothers.
Sleepless nights, anxieties and struggles…
and yet inside every curve…
like a problem… behind every point…
yet, knowing you are bound to solve it all.

The Midnight heat will keep you
Feeling secure in the the darkness
No awareness of what’s to come
That one living carcass

Thousands of people in this foreign town
But there’s soon to be one less
Each person for themselves
Not worried about the rest

Feeling high or feeling low
There’s emotions running wild
You see insanity’s in reach of us all
And it caught the one who’s riled

Who knows what they were thinking
But there mind was not at peace
That person painted a villain
In the eyes of the police

The moment it was heard
That sound I’d rather forget
A life had stopped being lived
Like in a game of Russian roulette

The innocent minds searched for the fireworks
But no explosion of colour begun
Just blood stained fractures of hate a violence spewing out of a gun.
