Why is it that some people don't believe that we should **** animals for food,
but those very same people will **** insects just because they think they're annoying or creepy.
I understand that insects are insects not mammals, but how does that make it any better to **** them.
I also accept the fact that some insects such as the mosquito can spread deadly diseases, but then again so can heaps of things.
I know that insects can reproduce a lot quicker than most other living creatures and so there will a lot more of them, but i still think that their deaths would be noticed by others of it's species.
So do harmless insects, no matter how annoying and creepy they are, not deserve to live.

Walking by myself
through a crowded street
and every stranger around my age
whose eyes mine do meet
makes my mind wonder
if you could be my soulmate
and some might say that I'm too young
to think about the forces that decide my fate
and maybe I'm not old enough
to truly understand love at first sight
my mind floating idly by
like wind catching a kite
my mind it stops drifting
when your eyes meet mine
and now my minds completely empty
and I know I'll be just fine
if only this,
this love that I see
you already
feel for me...

Is this life real or just an illusion of a life
Am I real or just the reflection of the person in the mirror
Is this world real or just the dream world and is the dream world the real world
Are my friends and family real or just figments of this false life
Am I just the shadow of the shadow I think is mine
Are the colours I see real or are my eyes just lying to me
Am I real or am I just fooling myself?

Say Sorry
*Sorry I'm so socially awkward

Hi fans.
I don't know a lot of you (by a lot I mean like 5 or so of you, cause I don't have a lot of fans, which is why I appreciate every one of them), which ***** cause I love my fans.
So if you have the time send me a message, I wanna be friends. I promise I'm not a creep, as far as I know.

I can't see a thing
Through the darkness in my mind
You're calling out my name
But I just can't seem to find
That smile on your face
That makes the sun shine
Please just smile
And help me to unbind
The shadows from my eyes
And the darkness in my mind
You light up the world
For all of mankind.

If we were zombies could we still fall in love and live happily ever after?

Sitting in the corner
lost in a maze
listening to songs
about the guy not getting the girl
they're just so much more heartfelt
than those songs
with the fairytale endings.
writing or singing about what you don't have
can make your heart feel empty
but at least we're not lying to ourselves,
writing can be like going through a maze
the start can easily be found
but then you get lost somewhere in the middle
and when you find the end
you can still feel lost
so we go back to the start
and become lost
all over again...

Seems I'm unintentionally hurting everyone today
I'm sorry guys (and girls) it wasn't meant that way
In some cases its cause you pushed me
I'm not that great a guy, now do you see
In some cases I said it not meaning to be rude
But it seems that I had the wrong attitude
In some case it's because I'm afraid to trust you
Even though I have no reason not to
I'd give up my heart just to take it all back
But its impossible, so I'll let my vision fade to black
I'm sad about it now
And I wish I knew how
To tell all of you that...

According to Cecil
I'm such a ****
More than slightly psychotic
Borderline *****

Cause I'm such a liar
Turn your back for a second
And I'll burn you like fire

Yeah cause according to Cecil
I'm just so rude
I'll dampen the mood
With my antisocial attitude

Don't touch me, I bite
Always looking for a fight
So don't get caught in my sight

Yeah cause according to Cecil
I ruin the art of writing
My works just not exciting
So terrible, that its frightening

Just so arrogant
Not a true artist, its apparent
Not to mention I've got no talent

Yeah  cause according to Cecil
I'm just not nice
As annoying as head lice
Cold as ice

I've got no friends,  can't you see
Cause there's so much wrong with me

And if you can see it all after only knowing me for an hour
Then it must all be true
More power to you
My 'friend' Cecil Miller.

Who can I be if not me?
Someone Else

Where would I be if not here?
Somewhere Else

What could I be if not human?
Something Else

When could this be if not now?
Some Time Soon

You and I
Well we could talk about lemons for hours on end
Yeah it’s got me thinking
Maybe we can be more than just friends

You say I’m no fun
Cause you wanted to send me a letter
But I said no
A picture of a letter is better
So you sent me that instead

(Chorus)
I just want you to know
You’re still in my head
Even long after
The messages are read
Cause you’re like my favourite song
You’re close to my heart
Cause I could never let myself forget you

You know you make me laugh
With all the weird things that you say
You know I find it strange though
Cause we think the same way
We’re so weird

[Chorus]

You say you’re without emotion
Well no need for commotion
We can just keep procrastinating
**** what’ll I rhyme with that

You said no one’s ever written you a love song before
Well no you can’t say that anymore…

They say that love
is a strong word
so believe me
when it's said, it's heard
I know I'm not
the prince charming
you've been waiting for
but I don't want to be harming
you're feelings when
I tell you
that the only person that doesn't
love you, is yourself.

Just broke up with my imaginary girlfriend
So I'm single now
Who wants to hook up.

I just want to spin in circles til everything makes sense.












Who wants to spin with me?

There once was a scientist named Frank
Who got a loan from the bank
To purchase scientific equipment
To perform crazy experiments
In his little scientist tent
Or was it castle made of cement
Well you know one of them is what I meant
Frank got a cup from the cupboard
He mixed up a mixture and into the cup it was poured
He waited and waited and got quite bored
Until it happened, the mixture in the cup
Fizzled and poor Frank blew himself up.

You want me to write something
about this holiday
but you want to know what I think
well this is what I say
I'll never be your perfect valentine
because the truth is
I hate it
I hate this
it's just another holiday
telling you how you should be living
but I don't care
no flowers or gifts will I be giving
no tacky greeting cards
telling you that I choo-choo-choose you
it's just another reason to spend money
just another reason to sit on your own
just another day to dream about
the one you love
or the one you're without
just another reason to be a couple
just another reason to be kissed
just another reason to hold hands
just another reason to get flowers
just another reason to say I love you
just another reason to go on a date
just another reason to be in love
just another day like any other...

Reading tales about
Damsels in distress
Oh will I ever find my princess
Or will I just give in and believe
That there’s no happiness for me
In this land, in this world, on this earth
No it can’t be true

[Chorus]
There’s no princesses in the world
They’re all trapped in books
Or inside my head
Oh why wasn’t I told
Now all my fantasies, all my hopes and dreams
Are dead

Let’s all dance around badly
Run around madly
Til we find what we’re hoping to find

But all my fairy tale
Fantasies
Are dead to me
Specifically because

[Chorus]

Don’t know where to go
Cause no one’s here with me at all
But I don’t wanna slip
I don’t wanna slide
I don’t wanna fall
I just want to hide

I don’t wanna slip
I don’t wanna break
I don’t wanna fall in love again
Be-cause

[Chorus]

So stop lying to me
I know what I see
And what I see is this

There’s no princesses in the world
No there’s no princesses
Nor knights or ladies fair
So I don’t care
Because I know that you don’t exist

No there’s no princesses
So don’t try to tell me there is
Cause if I know one thing
It’s this

There’s no hope or dreams
Just sadness it seems
That’s how it looks to be
So please don’t read out my story
Because I know how it ends
And there’s no happy ending for me…

If you wrote something like this
for someone like me
would I manage to smile
and feel more happy.
If I opened up my eyes
would it help me to see
or am I still blinded
by your own misery
what's that you're saying
oh sorry
you thought this
was meant to be about me...

Running into old friends
Whose cheeks are always rosie
Talking about life gets me thinking
So I supposie
That I should write a little about
How special you are

I remember all the times you were there for me
Because you always were
I remember only good times
Because there aren't any bad times
I remember all those laugh we shared
And the tears that showed we cared
I remember how you smiled, all the death glares too
But most of all just always remember
How much we all love you...

I would love to say "I Love You".
But I'm afraid that I'm just in love with the idea of love.
And that makes me sad.

This is a story “For Those Who Have Heart” (A Day To Remember)
For “The Young And The Hopeless” (Good Charlotte)
This story will “Free Your Mind” (Anarbor)
It all began in a “Room On The 3rd Floor” (Mcfly)
We had “All That We Needed” (Plain White T’s)
And yet we were “Guaranteed To Disagree” (We Are The In Crowd)
“Oh No” (Ok Go)
It’s “Nothing Personal” (All Time Low)
But one of us was “Homesick” (A Day To Remember)
And the other had “Night Visions” (Imagine Dragons)
“Chasing Ghosts” (The Amity Affliction)
Til we “Collide With The Sky” (Pierce The Veil)
In a burst of “Red” (Taylor Swift)
You’ll always be “My Forever” (He Is We)
This is a story of “What Separates Me From You” (A Day To Remember)
And it’s going “Straight To DVD” (All Time Low)

I don't care if you don't like me
if you insult me and criticize me
if you send me hate mail
because I always fail
if you try to push me around
I will stand my ground
so don't act like you're better than me
because all you are is a sad little bully.

Hey whats up everyone?
So I'd like to start the new year off with some news that I'm sure will make a lot of you happy (and hopefully some of you sad. But not the fakers or the posers)
I'm giving up on hellopoetry, in the few years of having an account I have gained nothing from this site but a legion of undead fangirls and lifelong friends who live too far away. I joined this site because I wanted to get honest feedback on my work, and in fact I often ask for feedback, but i never get it. And that upsets me.
No one reads my work anymore anyways (except those friends that i mentioned before, and I can just send them my work in private anyways), so whats the point in posting?
Exactly there isn't a point.
Which is why as I said I'm giving up on this site.
I'll still keep my account, but I will no longer be posting anything.
Feel free to message me whenever, in fact who knows maybe I'll message you. (probably not though)

And with that I say Goodbye

When I think about you
it makes me so sad
because you'll never believe in me
you just want me to feel bad
and you'll never
see me cry
because I'll wear a brave face
to hide the tears in my eyes
and you'll never
see me smile
because the truth is
I havn't done that in a while
I gave you something special to me
and now my minds torn apart
because you're not here
to return my heart...

Am I really so oblivous
to all of lifes problems.

"Songs are like words, I know of a lot of them but that doesn't mean I know what they all mean".

If this life is false
then what is truly real
all these painful emotions
or this love that I feel
if we're not truly writers
then can we find our voice
if this life we know
it was never really our choice
and if what we know
is all just lies
then why do we
cover our eyes
if we're not dreaming
then we're not living
and then who am I
to tell you
another lie...

Why can't God be female
imagine it a world where women wouldn't
have to have fought for their rights
where they would have been treated equally
from the start
so instead of saying thank god
why not thank The Goddess.

To everyone else you're just the quiet girl who sits at the front of the class
But to me you're one of the most beautiful and interesting people I know.

You're just so pretty to me
I'll tell you everyday
until you believe me
when I say
you're just so beautiful
to me
and I know that
someday you'll begin to see
you're just so stunning
it's true
but what's sad it that
I'll never be with you
because I'm no one to you
because you're almost a queen
but for now you're still a princess
and there is no magic bean
to help me climb to the treasure
you mean more than any
golden eggs
so don't spare me a penny
because I don't
want a dime
the only thing I want right now
is to see you one last time.
Because you're just so brilliant
remarkable, inspiring and just so pretty
and it's a shame that you don't see it too
it'll always be a pity
until you notice that
that beautiful girl staring back through the mirror
is you.
You're just so brilliant
it's true
and now I think I've fallen in love
with you.

What is love if not confusing.
It's one of the greatest things if you can find.
And one of the most terrible things if you can't.

I'm not going to waste my life waiting for you to come back
So I'll give you 7 days

7 days is all you'll have left
Til I move on without you

6 days left
And I'm hoping for a sign
A single simple message
Telling me your fine

5 days left
And I want you to know
I be at our meeting place
So I really hope you'll show

4 Days Left
And now I think you really hate me
And guessing that you now regret
The time you said you'd date me

3 days left
And I'm deleting all our photos
They're gone forever, but I don't mind
Down the drain they go

2 days left
And the sadness is all gone
Should've called me back when I gave a ****
But you didn't, so I guess we're done

1 day left
And I'm happy and I'm smiling
You'll be out of my life soon
Cause I'm done caring

She's the smart, popular type
The one that everyone likes
Sadly that includes me
And I know i never had a chance
Cause when I asked "Do you want to hold hands?"
She just laughed and slapped my hand away
Cause she doesn't take me seriously

I say I want to talk to you about my problems
You say sure lets talk, lets get this over and done with
But when all's said and done
You're the one having fun
I'm the one who's in tears
Cause you don't care about my fears
So I guess you don't take me seriously

I went to a doctor,  she said "You're not sick"
I talked to my friends,  they said "Stop being such a ****"
I spoke to my parents,  they said "You're such an arrogant *****"
I asked all my relatives, they said "Just stay where you belong"
I questioned my teachers, they said "We've never gotten along"
I screamed at the mirror "What did I do that was so wrong"?!
Cause no one takes me seriously

"As long as you have a reason to criticise yourself then you should have no reason to criticise others."

Letting go is never easy
it's always going to be hard
that's just how it is
but if you can, I'll write you a card
giving up on dreams
is heartbreaking
believe me it's even harder
when your mind is shaking
but if you can
I'll write you a song
I'm sure it will help you
to move on
but right now you'll be sad
and you just want to be left alone
so I hope you don't mind
because all I wrote, was this poem...

"It takes a lot of talent to incorrectly spell one's name, most people can only spell their's correctly because they lack the talent to incorrectly spell it."
Karl Franssen

“I think that just about everyone hides behind a mask, puts on a brave face or wears a façade.
And everyone knows that someday they will have to remove the mask and face the real world, and the sooner the mask is removed the easier it will be to re-adapt to our real lives.
But it's not always as easy as just removing the mask if we have lost ourselves, we need to re-find our lost souls and embrace the real life.
Only then will the masks fall off.”

Karl Franssen

Don't be afraid of the hell everyone else see's.

See hell as a nice place, and you'll never be scared of it.

I wonder why clocks tick, tock
it annoys me so I get a rock
and at the clock it flys
the clock smashes with a thousand sighs.
Even clocks have a rhyme
saying tick tock tick tock, all on time.
Don't you wish you could go back and do something once more.
But that's impossible, something that you could only wish for.
In a book something could happen twice
how awesome and nice
if it were true,
but stop dreaming, wake up i'd have to tell you.

I said "Hey
What are you doing today"
She replied "Don't know
Gotta go"
And that's all she said
To me

Cause it just seems like
You don't want to talk to me no more.....
So you just say goodbye

Hey please, just give me the time of day
I don't give a **** what the hell you say
Just talk to me
Ask me how I'm doing
And tell me how your days been
Juet talk to meeeeeee
Just talk to me

I see you walking around
Your hand's in his
But I say I don't mind
Cause I don't want to see this..
****

Cause while you're talkin to him
You could be talking to me
But you don't care...
You're hanging off every word that he says

Hey please, lets just sit and chat
Yeah yeah, lets talk about your cat...
But you say no
I've found someone better to talk to
So lets just leave it at that

You can't tell
But my heart is breakin
Yeah yeah, my hands are shaking
I really wish that I was faking
But I'm not...
Cause you don't wanna talk to me

"You can lie about anything you want, but don't mess with the heart".

“Is it really living if someone else is pulling the strings”?
Karl Franssen

Is it possible
to forget who you are
when you delve too deep
or get pushed too far...

Life happens
You can’t stop it
From doing what it does
I know you know this
So it’s hopeless
To try to change it up

[Chorus]
Cause when everyday
People die
People cry
People live
And they forgive
Life for what it does

"Why does everything bad
Always have to happen to them"

I wish I could’ve known them
So I could tell them that they’re worth it
But I didn’t know them
I wish I could’ve shown them
That every life is worth living
But I couldn’t show them

[Chorus]

But it’s hard to understand
Them and their emotions
And it’s hard to understand
Why this is happening to them
When will it get better for them
Or will it never
It’s never really made sense to me

Everyday people die
And people cry
So don’t make yourself die
And leave us to cry
Don’t bring your death upon yourself
Just let life bring you to the end

I flipped a coin
My choice was wrong
I've hurt you now
And that was wrong

Cause I could see
Why you might love me
But I'm not as nice as you think

Cause I excel at hurting feelings
And I know that's not a good thing
But its better than playing with your heart

I flipped a coin
I missed my chance
You're sweet and you should know it
I wish I hadn't rejected your advance

I had your heart
And I tore it apart
I ruined a perfect fantasy
Of you and me

I flipped a coin
I treated you wrong
And nothing will make up for it
...not even this song

I shouldn't have flipped a coin
I should have let my heart make the choice
Cause maybe I could love you

But the truth of it all
Is I'll never deserve you...

"Our dreams prove our sanity".
