13/M/Somewhere Under A Rainbow You don't know me unless you do.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we— Of many far wiser than we— And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE. The age demanded that we sing And cut away our tongue. The age demanded that we flow And hammered in the **** The age demanded that we dance And jammed us into iron pants. And in the end the age was handed The sort of things that it demanded. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference. O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won, The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring; But O heart! heart! heart! O the bleeding drops of red, Where on the deck my Captain lies, Fallen cold and dead. All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king. Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship, My senses have been stripped, my hands can't feel to grip, My toes too numb to step, wait only for my boot heels To be wanderin'. I'm ready to go anywhere, I'm ready for to fade Into my own parade, cast your dancing spell my way, I promise to go under it. Arise my body, my small body, we have striven Enough, and He is merciful; we are forgiven. Arise small body, puppet-like and pale, and go, White as the bed-clothes into bed, and cold as snow, Undress with small, cold fingers and put out the light, And be alone, hush'd mortal, in the sacred night. so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens It’s just a moment he said, we die every night— You are young, and I am older; You are hopeful, I am not— Enjoy life, ere it grow colder— Pluck the roses ere they rot. Hear the sledges with the bells— Silver bells! What a world of merriment their melody foretells! How they ****** ****** ****** In their icy air of night! While the stars, that oversprinkle All the heavens, seem to twinkle With a crystalline delight; Keeping time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells From the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells. And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon’s that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o’er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Poet's Medley
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore— While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping—rapping at my chamber door. But our love it was stronger by far than the love Of those who were older than we— Of many far wiser than we— And neither the angels in heaven above, Nor the demons down under the sea, Can ever dissever my soul from the soul Of the beautiful ANNABEL LEE.

The footprints I find The ones I left behind I watch my every step Through the valleys I kept. The places that I've been Or the places that I went. The handprints I'd found The mud it makes no sound The road ahead is harsh As I slosh through the marsh Of the places that I've been Or the places that I went. The fingerprints I see Different on you than me I think on what I've done And about what is to come For the places that we've been Or the places that we went.

Footprints
I wake up and I'm not so mad at Twitter now. Living ***** but it's ******* just a little now. And I don't wanna cry no more, So I set my bar real low. I'm a-ok, I'm a-ok, You say it but you just don't mean it You're so insane, you're so insane, Shut up and just enjoy this feeling. Don't you love it? Don't you love it? No, I ain't happy yet, But I'm way less sad. I may be wrong, I may be wrong, It's stupid but it's all I have. Don't you love it? Don't you love it? No, I ain't happy yet, But I'm way less sad.

You were never one for goodbyes Never ever would take it slow Always had that gleam in your eyes Followed by a bluish glow. You never could say goodbye When they went and took your home You hated the food with all your might When you went to the nursing home. I didn't get to say goodbye Enough when it was time to go That was the last time you'd say "Hi!" If only I had known. The reaper said to say goodbye When we sat at down your funeral I could hardly look into your eyes You broke me, I will never be whole. Now I cannot say goodbye Can't dig you up out of your tomb Telling myself that I'm alright Trapping myself in my room.

Goodbyes
if i were better would i not care when i ***** up or if i erupt or if my teardrops fall down my face, should i mask up all my shame or leave that to the drama the drama of not being good enough or smart enough or tough enough or strong enough or any of the things that fly around my head keeping me up at night while i lay in my bed scared of these feelings i feel feeling red do i think i am better off alive than i am dead? 'cause i wake up in the morning and i wish i could still dream 'bout all the things i dreamed about before i was a teen 'bout the things i'd given up on ever since i learned to see that all of my dreams are just hopeless... and i take my medication and i put on my mask and i do everything i can to pretend and play and distract myself from who i am and try to enjoy this life although sometimes all i want to do is break free from this strife the chains of my insanity are still on my wrists the heaven i had made for me is falling out my grip the heaven i had made for me using my hell as the bricks and i close my eyes and think of a better time when i was so innocent i thought everything was splendid i had no idea how much hurt and grief and inner screams and loss and tears and judging stares and stress and pain and going insane was in this world. if i were better maybe i could lie and i would say "i'm fine."

If
I walk a lonely road The only one that I have ever known Don't know where it goes But it's home to me, and I walk alone. I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk alone. My shadow's the only one that walks beside me My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating Sometimes, I wish someone out there will find me 'Til then, I walk alone. I'm walking down the line That divides me somewhere in my mind On the borderline Of the edge, and where I walk alone Read between the lines What's messed up, and everything's alright Check my vital signs To know I'm still alive, and I walk alone. I walk this empty street On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams Where the city sleeps And I'm the only one, and I walk alone.

scream
Not sure of where I am Not sure of where I'm supposed to be. Trying to fit in Is like trying to be a new me. Because sometimes all I want to do Is lay on my bed and scream, With my head between my knees, In excruciating agony, Shaking and wondering where I would be If I were where I'm supposed to be. Not sure of who I am Not sure of who I'm supposed to be. Trying to move on Is harder than it ever seems. Because sometimes all I want to do Is lay on my bed and scream, With my head between my knees, In excruciating agony, Shaking and wondering who I would be If I were who I'm supposed to be. Not sure of why I am Not sure of why I came to be. Hoping I am found While I continue falling. Because sometimes all I want to do Is lay on my bed and scream, With my head between my knees, In excruciating agony, Shaking and wondering if I should be And if there is a reason That I had came to be.
