American Actually, if you're reading this, you probably have read a few of these poems. I write tragedies and sins, because I can see a happy ending.
It’s all about the lessons We’re never taught to be strong Because we never think we’ll ever need to be So we get hurt and we only ever blame ourselves But if ever, just know, it’s not your fault you see Don’t you think that I’ve gone too far And don’t you think I can’t fall apart. Now I tell myself, I won’t be the victim I Grin as I break to pieces Everyone around me watches as I bleed Revelations from the parish of me Our world begins to crumble Finally we get to drink this Filthy poison we're forced to swallow Each and every time this follows All we need is some sanity, something to Reveal to me why it’s wrong to be afraid

Never in my life.
What happens when our eyes shut? I don't wanna know.

For a community we don't have a lot in common. I like black and you like white, now that's a common problem. And so, we're here today to see if we can solve 'em. Now, say I like black, and he likes white(and I hear you like, "What's the problem", right?). But let me portray it in a different light. With regards to gay rights, what's the problem with thinking the bible was right? Who cares what you think, as long as you don't shove it upon people. Of course I believe freedom of all people, that means everybody, including gays, are equal. But what if I didn't? Would you resent me for my way of living, for the way I grew up, for the way I was risen? Would you hate me, would you call me ignorant? White and black, two ends of a spectrum, but ultimately the same thing. What a metaphorical conundrum of ethics.

The Same Thing.
Clouds over your head, with lightning from the sky. You saw fear, they saw courage in your eyes. You fought all their demons, you keep them at bay. You've kept them all safe, you've saved the day. Your friends gave you the will, and you know that's pretense. Everything that you've built, was it all just pretend? This city in the clouds can only hold so much. Burn your palace to the ground; why does it hurt so much? (Stop the bleeding!) A symbol of triumph, be your own hero. Take all your mistakes, make them your own. This world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. You make a difference by snuffing out flames. You smile for all of these people, day after day. As the light in you burns, it takes it's toll; this double sided candlestick will ***** on it's own. You can't take it, ignorance isn't bliss; signed up for the long ride, but you didn't think this'd be it. The darkness you fought creeps up again. Fighting it this time will be harder than then. Why would you tell them? What do they even care? Who is gonna save you from your own despair? (Didn't think so) A symbol of triumph, be your own hero. Take all your mistakes, make them your own. This world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. From all that you were, to all that you are, I've never seen anything like a fallen star. No one shines as bright as you, so many hopeful eyes wishing upon you. Like a shooting star, you shine so bright, clear up the darkness in midnight skies. But you know what they say, about a falling star? No one appreciates it, until the star is too far. (Better start running) A symbol of triumph, be our hero. You took all our problems and made them your own.Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. (What I wouldn't give to be young again.) Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day. (To go back and change all this.) Maybe this world isn't lost, it can still be saved. All we need is a hero to save the day.

Don't sleep, these thoughts will only keep racing Don't sleep, you're a legend in the making These opportunities among us Don't sleep, you’re too old to dream Don't sleep, you're way too young to be Please, I want you to stay among us Don't sleep, you're way too young to Close your eyes but please talk to me Don't you walk toward that light you mean so much more to me Will you be my shooting star? An angel in the sky? I never thought you’d fall this hard Please fall into my arms tonight My shooting star Don’t sleep, come watch two stars collide Don’t sleep and I swear you’ll be just fine There is so much metal among us Don’t sleep and I swear you’ll make it out alive Don’t sleep, I know there is some fight in you Look at all these tubes among us Don’t sleep, there is so much left to do Close your eyes but please talk to me Don't you walk toward that light you mean so much more to me Will you be my shooting star? An angel in the sky? I never thought you’d fall this hard Please fall into my arms tonight My shooting star Close you’re eyes you don’t have to speak Go ahead and rest You’’ve earned that at least You tried your best All of your cards on the table How will heaven feel With two more angels. You're a shooting star so We’ll watch the earth from the sky I never thought you’d fall so hard Please fall into my arms tonight My shooting star

My Shooting Star(Don't Sleep)[I Wrote A Song I Want My Friends To Perform]
Golden waves it’s a sign from the gods ******* Athena has fallen so far from home Angels come in pairs isn’t that odd? Even if we add or subtract, they’d still be whole Who needs another half to feel what they know? Those who smile know all about defeat. Those who frown have only known victory. Forever the optimist; you saw the best in me Forever the pessimist you turned out to be It’s okay if you don’t like what I write It’s not okay to read it and call me the next night The moon can only handle so much from the stars The sun can only handle so much of a freezing heart A flower can grow, and it may even bud But ultimately roses wilt, and people die

They said time flies, that a moment will fall through your palms like sand If it's so fast we can't see it with our eyes, how do I react to a pill this size and move my hands to guard against my throat opening; my hands are closing in. Reality won't be the death of me, I'll die awake but dreaming in a fantasy

I swear this world is an illusion So mundane; it feels diluted I know that I’m delusional But I'd rather feel more than just the usual I’d rather fall down the rabbit hole with you I used to think that I was a boat, and you were the sea I’m only good for you while You’re still beautiful without me I swear I'll change it I’ll weave a different fate This isn’t just another reiteration We’re running out of time Our clock begins to tick by Scream all you want You won't fix this flawed design We’re running out of time You can't stop this clock Scream all you want It's flaws will never be a fault of mine Interesting the life you made me And oh, the confidence you gave me But the sea is rising And I think I’m drowning Our worlds are changing And for some reason The walls are caving Neither of us can breathe I swear I will change it I’ll weave a different fate This isn’t just another reiteration I’m running out of time I’m going insane Scream all you want You can't fix this flawed design I'm out of patience I'll leave you my name Scream all you want You'll never find out where those perfect days went This will never be a better place Shadows fall on those who shine brightest So I’ll look you in your face “I won’t miss you in the slightest” You’re running out of time This world isn’t the same Scream ‘till your lungs give You won’t fix this flawed design You’re all out of time It’s better of this way Scream all you want Your flaws will never be a fault of mine

Give me some adderal Would it be worth it? For once to pay attention To start observing When you never gave a dime to me Ignoring The shrine I built in the likeness of you Unnoticed glory I built it with glass and held it together with glue Your amazing on the outside But you're so transparent As soon someone throws a stone You lose your whole foundation Won't let someone too close Afraid the ground will start shaking When you tremble; and knees get weak I look at you, and I see a piece of me Walking away

A horror of my own device My voice faults for my demise My inability to speak Has costed me my life Sometimes Before I sleep I like to think I'll leave Sometimes I pack my bag Just to see what could be That is when I remember That I'm just out of reach I’ll be moving out eventually I’ll be leaving the past behind me ..Although.. If I could rewrite the past I don’t think I would If I could rewrite the past I don't think I would
