    Nostalgia can be a double edged sword.It makes you remember old memories or words.Life goes on and the Earth turns. Nostalgia can remind you of good times.Once upon a time, a fairytale.With a princess,dragon and a well. It can really make...

    Nightmare (Life Is But a Dream)

    • That’s a great piece Nick👍

    • This reminds me of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Miserable. We start out full of hope & sparkle & the world dulls our shine until there’s nothing left. Just bills to pay & the hope we go out on a good note rather than the usual shit. Totally feeling this one

      • The world gets too big I suppose. It’s never enough to stay in your own happiness. The world is designed to take and take. But also the older we get we are hit with reality. Losing people, losing friendships and so on. I think the thing that hurts the most is knowing when those moments are gone they are gone. There will be no other moments like them

        Thanks for the read, friend. Very much appreciate it.

    • Brilliantly penned, Nick. Into the book it belongs! This write has layers my friend, excellent work. Appreciate you.

    • This is the second time I have read this, and I want to think about it. Depression is a strange beast. Not suicidal but not feeling the same. will drop dead doing something you hate. That struck a cord. I used to like the job I do, but too many worms came out of the apple, and now I work. This is my passion. To write and see others do what they love to do.
      Now I’m rambling

      • For me the poem is rather my darkest depression. The world beats you down and some days I feel like I’m just going through the motions. As the poem says I’m not suicidal, but there is comfort in the idea that I choose the way rather than it being something, or somewhere I rather not be.

        Thanks for the read, friend.

    • Superb work, my friend.

    • Oh this definitely needs to go on the song consideration lost! Everything about feels powerfully lyrical. The way your mind moves is fascinating. I can’t wait to hear the album, my friend

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Willow. So glad you connected with the possible lyrics my friend. The more I read it, the more lyric potential I see as well. Thank you, my mind moves constantly for sure. I start Monday. I’m excited and nervous, which is the way it should feel. I got that going for me at least. I’ll keep you updated. Appreciate you.

    • Nice to read you again, my friend. Your writing is almost always musical in my mind…
      ❤k

    • This was fire, friend. I always tell myself that doubt is the devil. Whenever I feel like I’m in over my head or failing.

      • Thanks so much for reading and your kind words, Nick. So glad you connected with the write my friend. Couldn’t agree with you more, that’s what is usually going down. Appreciate you.
