So you wanna serve your country, huh?
Well to me, it seems like nobody’s fighting on the front.
Their all waiting for their grand opportunity.
Click. Click. Boom!
He went out with honors, y’all!
So you better believe it was all worth fighting for.
Now you’re telling me, you’re going into the Marines.
The few, the proud.
But doesn’t that mean I’m going to lose you, too?
Of course you’ll be working to make our country safer, but I’ll working behind the counter of a fast food restaurant.
You’ll be making life changing movements, but me, I’ll still be behind the books in the university.
So tell me, is it all the risk?
To lose you, and still come home a hero?
Because if you die, you’ll never play the basketball game you promised my kid brother.
You’ll never swish him in a pair of purple crocs.
You’ll never get to see me graduate.
But I will be serving my country, just not quite like you.
I’ll be saving lives, just not like you.
It’s pretty selfish of me, I admit.
But I don’t want to lose you, because I already lost myself.
You’re my first hello and my last goodbye.
Goodbye soldier, fight well for us all.

Dear secret person,
I met you a few months ago,
Already I think I love you,
You make me happy when I’m sad
You’re funny just for me
You are so close to me
I can’t wait to see you again
Because you’ll call me, “Mine.”

you’re looking at me
but not really at me
your eyes take in the sight of me
but you never make eye contact
you look a little to the left of me
your awkward gait
your peculiar hair
your whole being
approaches me
your compliment
lights up my year
i want to get closer to you
but you
you’re lost in the crowd
i can’t make my way
back to you

There was a girl and she tried and tried
She would try to fix your broken bones with the bandages in her satchel.
But you looked away and never paid attention.
She’d come to your rescue before you need her too, but you turned her away and sent her home.
She gained a voice in the back of her head, that told her all the lies she felt.
The lies felt like truth, so she listened to them.
She became abused and neglected, so she faded into the background.
She sharpened her knives and took havoc.
But she didn’t hurt you, no, instead she hurt herself because she loved to deeply and hurt so much.
She began to fade away, the scene became quieter and quieter.
You realized something was missing, when you were down and no one was around.
You didn’t know where she was, you didn’t know she was alone in her room, dark shadows around, feeling numb to the feeling while sadness overwhelmed her.
You needed her then and you need her now, but you pushed her away, and now she’s gone.
So you paid her a visit, hoping for a few sweet words and the sympathy stringing, but when you came inside you found her body beaten and bruised.
Because you weren’t there when she wanted you, you didn’t want her when you needed her, so she faded away permanently. Because the person she loved didn’t want or need her so she believed that was her fate.
Now she’s gone and there’s no coming back from this. You should’ve been there for her when she was alive and happy.
There was a girl and she tried and tried

It's amazing what a little light can do,
Illuminate the soul,
Like cold water against my dry skin,
You brought me alive.
I was drowning in my own self doubt before you stepped into my life.
Masqueraded in disguise,
You weren't the darkness this time,
You were light,
You lit up my world,
Transformed from black and white,
HD and in color,
Happiness floods my soul.
Despite this revelation,
I'm afraid what will happen when I lose my mind.
What happens when you get rid of me,
The darkness will grab me,
And carry me far, far away.

People fear meaningless things,
An occurring fear occurs,
Everyone's afraid of death,
So they say,
But I say, what's there to be afraid?
I know my fate,
Just let it take me already,
I'm not missing out on much,
I'm not suicidal,
But death,
Tis so sweet,
It's ruby lips,
Poison dripping,
Calling my name,
Hair on end,
Goosebumps rising on my skin,
Chills dancing down my spine,
It won't take much effort,
To end it all.
Can't you see?
I'm not afraid of death at all

Don't take her from my arms,
The only thing pure in the world.
Her laugh, so angelic,
Takes the depression away.
Flaming hair,
Icy eyes,
Hot and cold,
A miracle,
Love in a loveless marriage.
Her grace so mighty,
Rescue us from our stupidity.
Just a babe,
Winning all of our hearts,
Bringing smiles to our frowning mouths,
She is ours.
She is pure.
She is angelic.
She is Cheyenne.

The scars on my thighs
Little pretty lines
They are memories of the times
I couldn't fall asleep
The grief was too much
I cried
My heart was suffocated
So I found the little sliver of silver
Now I have scars across my thighs

These people are strangers,
My friends, family, everyone I see,
Nobody knows me,
I stay to myself.
I give them clues,
I let them win,
But nobody wins,
The prize inside.
I don't know why,
But the feeling inside,
Says I've got to stay silent.
And I do,
Because I'd rather not let people see,
The messy parts of me.

I break my own heart
Too pieces
Two pieces
As if heavens breath rescued my soul
It lived on within my bones
Deep down in the depths
That dark place
I don't know the name
But I do know
If I sprout wings
I'll fly away
Maybe
I'll stay
But too long
Too bad
I'm too bad
But I tell you I'm fine
Even though my heart regrets beating
