L.I.F.E. “Look Inside For Everything” I wrote this in December 2018, thinking it captured a moment in time.An escape from the madness..I was wrong. It captured a pattern I never broke. Chapter 1A life without.. Though I’m disconnected, I’ve never felt more free. What consumed all of my time & energy, controlled my “happiness” , …
What Light Abandoned written by Matty Shreds From the depths of hell to the surface of earth,What once was rhetoric is now marrow of curse.Forever binding; permanently misled.A society of filth, packaged as holy. Holy: a poor man’s quarry.The deceptive plunge into an imaginary moat.Seeking a scapegoat, pinned as the pinnacle of threat,Resting on the …
WHERE THE SILENCE WAITS written by Matty Shreds Record my final breathAnd let the nothingness that follows explain,How emptiness felt and why I withered away. A dialect only you could understand.Floating in the ether, between breath and goodbye.Like strings guiding an orchestra,The beauty breaks where the silence waits. Where the ocean ends and the sky …

Fragments of You written by Matty Shreds In every mirror, I search for the reflection of the person I used to be with you. Each laugh I hear reminds me of the one I’ve lost. The world keeps moving, but I’m trapped in our memories. In every dream, I find you, only to wake up …
VOICES THAT TAUNT written by Matty Shreds There’s darkness within me that can’t be explainedVoices that taunt me, with pain that’s ingrainedThree seconds ahead, yet 4 seconds behindThis world is winning, I’m losing my mind Cradle the robber; comfort the greedBurn me to ashes—you planted the seedKarma will find you, it never forgetsThen I can …
The Forgotten written by Matty Shreds The Forgotten We’re here again.. Back to the beginning. The part that hurts me the most is I always knew it didn’t feel right. There’s a war within me that will likely never fade. I ignored so many obvious tell-signs that this was destined for failure. How human of …
Yesterday’s Vision written by Matty Shreds I lie awake, as I hear time passing by,tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.Where am I going? Has time stood still?It feels like I’ve worked so hard, yet traveled so little.

Broken Emotions written by Matty Shreds Illustrating the demons, that took over my mind,dark and evil, They’re one of a kind.They deprive your happiness, enjoying your hate,because they decide, your long term fate.
