LoveHave you ever loved someone dearly?
Of course you have.
Watched their backs as they walked away,
Kept silent because you weren't sure what to say,
Only had a dollar but wanted to give them the world,
Ignored your friends so you can say hi to them,
It took all you're courage to even talk to them.

Felt down when you see them talking to someone else,
Afraid they would fall for them,
Spent hours thinking about them,
Knew they weren't perfect, but they had no flaws.
Thinking about what they said to you that day.
Could it be a sign? Or shall their feeling remain undefined.

Have you ever had your heart broken?
Of course you have,
Fe

It's Funny How You Bleed.Funny how you
Don't even realize
You're addicted
Until you really
Need it.

Funny how the
Blood running
Down your arm
is soothing.

Funny you
Can take the
         pain.
Can do it to
         yourself.
Can hide it
       from
         yourself.

Pain is the only
Release from the urge
The urge to see
Your own blood
       Dripping
         Leaking
    &

AloneI dim the lights,
And turn on the TV,
Even though I'm not watching I leave it on,
It's the news, seems like another fight,
Why's the world so violent?

I take my time going to sleep,
I close my eyes,
I see someone's face,
I think I recognize her,
But I can't remember her name,
Who is she?
With eyes like that it must be a sign,
But I brush it aside,
Even in my fantasies,
I'm afraid.
I'm afraid of showing my feelings inside.

What's wrong with me?
My life isn't that bad…
What's wrong with me?
I won't accept that I'm sad…
I'm not, am I?
Am I? I don't know…

The next day, I go to school,
I hear laughter,
Is som

She was the Light She was the Light

The music that surrounds these lyrics
They don't understand
But I can hear it
I can hear it…

The hidden message
That you can only find
From reading in-between the lines
These broken lines…

That fell apart
When you left her
When you took her heart
When you took her heart…

How could you leave
With the door wide open?
You never believed
She'd have loved you longer

She wrote you letters
In her familiar slant
She kept them all
She could never send them
And she still can't…

And where were you
On the days she cried
She had always known
That you had lied

She never beli

I can't belongHave you ever had a breakdown
Seen your world just fall apart
Wished to God you'd die
While weeping in the dark

Sat and tried to take stock
Figure what your life is worth
Felt so useless and unloved
That you cursed your day of birth

That takes some getting over
If you can find the strength
Only those who've been there
Will be on my wavelength

That kind of hurt brings changes
It alters everything
Never can you be the same
A different song you'll sing

Some claim it makes you fragile
Others say it makes you strong
I simply have this feeling
That I don't belong

With new ears I hear
This dark worlds dreary chant
And no matter

Beautiful SanctuaryInside, there is a beautiful world of minds.
These minds combine to make something beautiful
Worlds are flowing like ripples of a river
as the mind flows with spirit and be
Where the pain quivers and anger resides to its hole
where mind body and soul collide
to create a truly wondrous prospect.

In me, in you, in everyone is beauty in mind.
As we all voyage through our inner minds
we find our sanctuary where we ourselves reside
and our mind will continue to show us the pieces
of our true selves, whoever that may be.
Our lovely minds are what make us unique and powerful
and they will continue as long as they are blossoming.

That Perfect OneThere is never such thing as perfection
Only by a physcial standard
Only by a morale standard
Only by a individual standard

Perfection is only found in the dictionary
That's where you find my perfection
But in my mind and heart there's only one perfection that stays
Not about me but about the woman I want in my life

A life without love is meaningless
A life without life is pointless
A life without your definition of perfection is one thing
A life under society's perfection is tryanny

That perfect one in my life
Oh that perfect one is what I want
I don't mean what the dictionary says or what society wants
My definiton of perfect

EducationEducation?
See that's what they call it.
But they teach us to do, not to think.
A genius doesn't answer every question perfectly,
A genius questions every answer given.

A system that judges success by the amount of bills you have,
Makes you work to the bone,
Cuts your soul in halves,
Make us seem like a bunch of clones?

Are we nothing more than machines?
Fill in the right answer, nothing more is accepted.
Thrown away if you can't follow instructions,
Is this in efforts in increase production?

Shall we drive the passion away from everything?
When everyone tries only to survive,
Shall we exist solely to die?
A system that compl

Cinema SparksImagine a man and woman,
or woman and woman,
it really doesn't matter;
huddled together beneath
an umbrella as if it
were a tree with long branches
to stop the rain and
block out the sun,
or simply provide a sense
of security if the weather
were to suddenly change,
it really doesn't matter.
For whatever reason,
they are together-
but what's interesting is
they obviously do not even
know each other.
They both clutch the umbrella
but their hands are
very
careful not to clutch
each other's;
because in some cultures
it's not polite to
touch strangers,
but in this case,
it really doesn't matter.

For whatever reason

Don't Look BackI can see it in your eyes,
Inside,
Your breaking, shaking,
You feel like you've been forsaken,
Like the smallest of organisms,
Ants,
Worms,
Bacteria,
You feel lower than them.

Who are you? No one cares,
They'll brush you off,
As if you were the wind,
Why do they hate you?
You've committed no sin,
Why do they hate you?
I guess it's no reason at all…

Why do they tease you about the way you look?
You're still beautiful to my eyes…
Why do they falsely claim your sexual orientation?
Why should they even care?
Perhaps it's out of fear,
Whatever the reason, it doesn't matter.
Pull your chin up and walk forward…

Loving blindly .Darling, there was always a difference between
who you are and how you made me feel;
Instant competition, perfect opposition,
I just chose to turn my compass backwards.

I cared too much about how the poison tasted
to notice I was drinking it while
forcing it down your throat.
I was too blind in bliss to see that
when we kissed, you spit it all in my mouth.

And when you gave me a mocking grin
while watching my body decay at your feet,
I wonder why did I always see
a loving smile?

I guess that's why our hearts are not eyes
and they beat on the left -
there's nothing right about loving blindly.

Behind Those Eyes You HideBehind those eyes you hide
The fear and pain you feel
Kept in secret of oblivion
Seeing what isn't real

The mask of contentment
Covers your wounds
But your eyes
Well up in the fumes

Everything captured inside
Begging to escape
Can't be concealed
Your eyes being the gate

The weight bares down
Like an anchor at the bottom of the sea
You wait there patiently
For someone like me

burning mirrors, freezing souls.ready?
…
set?
…
burn!

have you ever stopped
to think (clearly)?
i see nothing but
burnt out memories
inside your head
and a soul so freezing
cold that refuses to
melt.
stop screaming.

i'm the kind of demon
to scare you in your sleep
ripping apart your dreams,
feeding your nightmares.
is there anything darker
is there anything lighter
than nothing?

how does nothing look like?
take a look in the mirror,
you tell me.

smoke.
i can see it.
it's coming out of you.
taking away small
particles of thoughts.
blurry.
will you ever see again?

you've always hated mirrors,
you say they show you
your worst enemy.

FlowI see kids, who only follow the flow,
Never wanting to grow,
At some point, with no place to go,
Welcome to the show,
Without a star; I congratulate you for coming so far.

Are you just swimming, or limping?
Or perhaps, you'd rather try running?
Running away from those fears,
Away from the tears,
Is there to much struggle in a year,
My dear, you've got to stand up for the world premiere.

Will you do heroin until you're achin',
Float with the current until you've broken you're fin?
Live you're life with endless sin,
But don't you like to win?
If you do then pull up that chin,

You're not hopeless, soulless, or a noblesse,
You'

Untitled IIThis is for the ones, who have no place to go,
The ones who feel alone.
With no place to call home,
The ones walking in the rain,
The one's who've seen nothing but pain.
With one touch, I'll wipe those tears,
With one touch I'll relinquish your fear.

This place isn't heaven,
Honestly, I'm glad it's not,
What the point of living in perfection?
We need to live everyday to the fullest,
Stay fishin',
You've got to stay on your grind,
Because too many people are faking these days,
Too many will be your friend for your name.
Too many just try to look the same.
Too many are in it just for the fame…

M-I-CDon't accept reality,
Even though there's no 100% guarantee,
I thought you loved the feeling of touching the M-I-C.
No one said it would be easy,
No one said you'd make it a day.

Wipe the sweat off you head,
And stay high, stay in the sky,
Don't trust the lies you've been fed,
Anyone can do this thing.

You've flopped? Don't sweat it,
You'll make it to the top soon,
It'll be your time to shine.
Amaze the world with your beautiful rhymes,
Make them see that passion,
Isn't this your addiction?

You're an artist already,
You're just lacking confidence.

If you close your eyes,
You can grab the floating melodies,
Nothing but you

RealityWhat is reality?
Just another form of brutality?
What's the point of living in this world,
If you can't confidently announce your sexuality?
It's just human bestiality.

Surely you won't die...He takes a drink,
Then puts a needle to his arm,
He tells himself he won't die,
No need to be alarmed,
Though, when is the last time he has felt alive?
He shoots God into his Body,
A feeling like no other,
Isn't it?

Surely, you won't eat, die,
And shall be like God,
Sure, you won't eat, die,
And shall be like God…

With a shattered heart,
She takes out a razor,
Still doesn't get why everything fell apart.
Put the blade to her wrist,
Bleeding out the devil…
A poison kiss, couldn't see the twist,
Still remembers his face,
Why did he leave?
Are they all the same?
She takes the knife, aims it to her shattered he

Still Beautiful to Me

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

When people tease you for the way that you look,
Please know this isn't your war.
Close the book. Burn the pages.
Our soul is like a piece of paper,
Easily ripped to pieces,
Though beauty is hidden between pages,

You sit still contemplating how to please those you hate,
Will you become one of them, or will you be yourself?
You let your inner demons lead the way,
As you follow aimlessly, is there any point to life anymore?
Your whole world turns grey,
Your eyes go blank; will you make it through the night?

Your life is still worth the pain,
It gets better in the end.
I know because I've been through the same.
My feet have the scars to show.
You'll find what you've been looking for at the end of the road.
Don't pack your things and head home, not just yet.
Smile at your enemies, this is who we are, no, we can't change.
You're still beautiful to me.
