American I am nothing more then human. A human woman trying to make my heart known to the world in the only way I know how.
In this season of death, We walk the hollowed halls, Deep within our own minds, Stroll through the graveyards, Of broken promises and lost dreams, The thinning Vail reminds Us of the loved ones lost, And the sunnier days we had with them, The days grow shorter and colder, But death is such a beautiful entity, In that with death comes new life, Each peril comes a decision, A chance to create beauty from the ashes, Every choice made, Through and to conclusions, Is a chance to rise from the previous cinders, Even through the end of our knowledge, Where life is unknown, And we face uncertainty, We have the ability, To face a new type of life.

People always tell you Life is what you make it Then why is it the hardest working people Get the short end of the stick? Is the lower middle class unlucky? Is luck passed down From one generation to the next? What is luck anyway? Some mystical force that not enough Of us pay our tributes to? A shooting star? A dandelion? A penny with one's birth year on it? And why then does working hard not earn us The wondrous ways of "luck" If you ask me... And yes no one ever has Luck is simply having the right devices When opportunity comes knocking We, of the lower middle class, often forget We make our lives what they are And we have the power To change our own circumstance Without the luxuries of “luck”

UnLucky
The human heart Broken Whole Old Young We all at some point Put a lock upon it Some do it because of hurt Or fear And hope That someone out there Holds our Key Each lock though is different The metal changes Some are made of soft metals Some as hard at diamond Some are see through Some are tainted with evil Begging to have the seal broken Others are pure and innocent Fearful of being broken Our keys are just as different The only one we are given It never has a name with it No instruction guide You'll never know until It is in front of you what to do with it And even then the key Maybe not belong to the lock That you think it does But one thing is for sure When the lock and key belong To the right people A Beautiful Love blossoms And it shines to the whole world

Lock and Key
Sometimes the road of life Leads to some cities and towns You don't wanna go to Some are the big smog filled cities Some are the deserted ghost towns Filled with all the things that An innocent child's nightmares are made of These places are uncomfortable They make us want to hide Run. Our thoughts are all different But they have the same purpose We roam down the road of life Sometimes fast at times slow But the road keeps going We are brought to places We don't want to be But we are never brought to places That have no exit There is always another place When our path finally does end It is never in one of those places Fear and hostility are No where to be found at the end of time Peace and serenity When we finally leave our path Where our human form can no longer walk We are home.

Places on the Path
Easy ways to lose yourself Fall in love Fall in hate become King or Queen Have a Death of someone you love Lose the one you don't want to live without To him: I am myself when I am with you Without you there is everything missing I lose my soul and passions When you are gone My life has no purpose Though others love me You are the most important One I want in my life Your love completes my existence Without it I will fade into Nothingness...

How To Lose Yourself
I want to bleed To make sure I am still living The pain growing inside my chest I want to bleed Please mercy let me bleed Bleed out as my body falls limp Surrender to the pain 'Cause that is all I feel anymore Happiness is a mere apparition in an obis Of eternal darkness We like to sugar-coat it With peace and humanity But the black hatred Will always over power the light and love War will always take down peace I want to bleed out the happiness For it will only bring deeper grief.

I Want To Bleed
My mind lifeless Body aching and tired You leave me drained Too tired to continue Running in endless circles You try again to steal my heart Though we are already too broken To fix what was once so abundant It twas here in loving merriment But we didn't cherish it And left it to wither away Now it's gone This time unlike all the rest Never to return to our feeble hearts So please I beg you Stop running me in circles Be the best you can be without me And one day you will find the love that I have Realizing that there are so many fish in the sea Though I still love you Love Me.

Love Me.
Strong. Do you know the meaning? Of this extremely powerful word? Will. The will to live, Is a strong one, Do you have it? Have you stood, Through the down pour, Wondering if you'll ever, See him again? Have you watched the, Strongest person you know, Fall to pieces before, Your eyes? In the eye of the storm, Have you seen, Your very foundations, Crumble? The pain that stabs, Through your very core, Have you felt it? Do you know, What it truly is to be Strong? Will you ever know, The strength in your neighbor? Your best friend? Adult, Child, Young, Old, You may see them as weak, Do you know the story? Behind their tired eyes? Have you seen, What they saw? For you do not understand, The strength that they endure, You may never know, The wonders they have overcome.

Strong.
Wind whirling, Songs to be sung, By the birds, Hush in an instant! The hail pours from the heavens above. As the rain floods, The once inhabitable streets below... No one is safe! Mothers hide their babies, In a futile fight for life. No one is safe! Husbands try to rescue their families, As they are crushed, In the rubble that was once a home. No one is safe!

No One is Safe
Awaiting the rising sun, Like a bird, In her cage, Strong and calm as the earth, Stalking the moon shone shadows, Cooing her midnight song, To the dead wood, The waters still, As the sleeping sea creatures, Yet to hear, The fragile tune, Sleep lonesome dove, Sleep.
