I'm 18 years old, I love reading and writing and I hope you enjoy some of the things I make.
Do you ever feel like you don’t belong? Look around and feel like everything is all wrong? That you can’t fit with all your crazy dreams? Or maybe that this isn’t really your scene? But not as in a bad way, but more as in a good That you knew your life has been somehow off Like you believe more than your friends Or maybe that you knew you were just a little different Have you ever looked around and wondered why light has become your enemy? You may be broken, but you can now see You may have fallen deep, but you can still be set free Because there’s a little saying that you should know, it might be common to those around That god knows, even angels fall

Even Angels Fall
Stop calling yourself a failure There are planets and stars in your eyes, There are fires and oceans in your veins. Your head is a forest, Your heart is a meadow, And you are a work of art

After I discovered The light in your eye, I finally recovered from the existing high I cannot comprehend the future, goodbye but I can pretend that there is not a why Even when you consume my mind ~ H.M & C.H

Goodbye
See for me this place has begun to feel a little haunted At first I thought it was haunted by you but now I think it was haunted by me But no ghost is at peace until it finally moves on I need a change And I think you do too This place needs new life So please make our old home your new home For it is now ghost free

Ghost Free
My heart breaks As I'm in a state of confusion I don't know what to do Or how I'm feeling My head aches At the thoughts of your voice But my heart says different Did I make the right choice? You hurt me my dear I cried many tears of sorrow For my heart was shattered It feels very hollow But you didn't care Don't act like you did It's okay though I'll be fine in the end

Hurt
4 o'Clock 4 o'Clock Never let me sleep I close my eyes and pray For the garish light of day Like a frightened child I run From the sleep that never comes 4 o'Clock 4 o'Clock Out of bed I creep To climb this tower of shame But the hour's still the same Only madness knows my name At 4 o'Clock Why can we never go back to bed? Whose is the voice ringing in my head? Where is the sense of these desperate dreams? Why should I wake when I'm half asleep? Sure as the clock keeps its steady chime Weak as I walk to its steady rhyme Ticking away from the ones we love So many boys, so little time Why can we never go back to sleep?

4 o'Clock
For tears that fall On hollow cheeks When the weeks feel like years And the years feel like weeks. And you sit by a grave Where the roses grow But the rose that you seek Is buried below. You have my heart Heavy with sorrow For the velvet rose With no tomorrow.

Mirror Mirror on the wall… Can you tell me who I am at all? The biggest question we ask ourselves is “who am I?” But no one knows the answer. You may think you know who you are, But is it the inner Or outer you that you know? Our outer self is what we portray to the world, Our inner self is something no one knows about - Sometimes not even ourselves Mirror Mirror on the wall… Can people look inside and gaze into my soul? Our soul is a representation of who we are. Some are as vibrant as glistening stars. They’re young, Still blooming And living up a storm Others are as black as a raven’s back. They look ecstatic, They have life in their grasp. But on the inside they shriek for help, Plead for someone to see and let them out, They ache for understanding. Most people deem themselves a star, But deep down they have their doubts. They’re entangled between what they want And what they feel. Mirror Mirror on the wall… Is this real? Or have I been dreaming all along? This is what most dreamers ask. They’re caught between reality And make believe. They’re typically blind to what’s in front of them. They could have a partner, who treats them astonishingly, But they’ll have an image of how this person should look and act. They’re oblivious to what they already have. Mirror Mirror on the wall… Is this who I’ve grown up to become? Many people think that once they’ve matured There’s no way of changing. But it’s your will power And strength That makes change in your life. If you crave change Then go out and make it happen - Don't wait for someone else. You are obligated to make change in your life. You have the key to your own happiness. If you truly believe in change Then what’s preventing you from it? Mirror Mirror on the wall… Can you tell me who I am at all? I am me. I am the author of my life And happiness. I am 5”3. I have long brown hair And blue eyes. I portray to the world that I’m young and courageous; That I can dominate whatever life throws at me. But deep down I’m small, Delicate. I still need my mom around to hold me. There are 2 of me: The outer me is easy to distinguish, Yet the inner me is much more complex. Many don't know the full inner me - Including myself. The inner me has entangled itself in the web of fairytale. It clashes between fantasy and rationalism. It has a need to be cherished, but not abandoned; To appreciate, but not suffer. Part of me is fascinated by my complexity But the other wishes it would stop. To those who wish to know the inner me, I am a labyrinth With everlasting dead ends. But that's what makes me Me. All are welcome to join the journey into my labyrinth mind. Let's solve this puzzle together. This journey won't be easy, But nothing ever is I know my cloudy soul won't rest Until my journey ends. Mirror mirror on the wall… I am one of countless others with an unsolved soul. This is who I am.

8 years old We're told "you're too young to unlearn how to smile and hate the world" 8 years from now on You'll forget the art of care freeness and little girls So 6 young hearts Kick start And venture into A labyrinth Of question marks Mischievous Wide-eyed We had nothing to hide Our smiles were bonafide... We dreamed of superpowers Meteor showers Climbing towers Magic, meremaids Flying ships And finding home In our unlock golden coffer All we had was love to offer A currency that once was just enough.... Guess we grew up Theses days We've ceased To give A frail and feeble **** We've got new better plans Crystal clear Each year Since June of 2010 We've grown cavalier And bland We used to dance in rainstorms Fight our battles, win the whole world We spoke in flames And held hands while we burn Now all we ever do is ***** Apathy, we mop it With apologises I'm sorry's I worry..... I worry, We grew up Things have changed And minds have aged We're so far in this infeasible maze When did black and white decide To propagate Cause everything now seems so.... Gray We've forgotten the beats of our own drums We've lost touch in tunes we used to hum We smell of sin And no longer bubblegum Our season is yet to come We're houses with water stained walls We're standing But no longer tall When did we stop having a ball, I don't recall I don't re-call Here... We are So far We've walked a lonely road We're like nomads finding home But some-where far inside The 8 year old resides Whispering "you'll be alright" So let us live Let live Forgive and hope we don't Fail the souls we used to know Let's walk each other home Little souls please don't let go The unknown is ours to roam Our little souls will walks us Home

She was the girl that liked storms movies and books She was the girl that would hum to the pounding rain drops She dreamed to be free She dreamed to fly around To be one with the wind And one with the ground She had many pains And many sorrows She thought it was time to leave this horror And as she stepped up to meet her bridge She was gladly met with the roaring winds With rain drops pelting up against her skin She could only think of having wings She sang such soft melodies with open arms Embracing the world she so greatly loved Upon her lips, she spoke great words Unspoken to those who need her most "When my soul no longer takes this form, You can hear me singing in the storm"
