The tears that fell on that day
Mountain of ash
Sky of smoke
Grey
The ones who were lost
The ones who lost them
Even the stars cry
Black
Hatred
Hurt
Sadness
Fear
Confusion
A world of emotion
But every action has an equal and
Opposite reaction
Hatred turned to empathy
Sadness turned to hope
Through fear many showed courage
Bravery
Confusion became acceptance
And though the deepness of hurt
Could never be lightened
Defiance
Refusal to give victory emerged
Through the ashes
What was meant to tear us apart
Worked...at first
Until it bound is together tighter than before
Always remember
Courage
Sacrifice
Love
Kindness
That is what this day is about.

A lost soul wandering in the wilderness
For a thousand years
Searching, searching
But if you were to ask,
"what are you looking for?"
They would reply with one of two things
If you were a stranger they might say
"Something lost."
But if you were a friend
One they decided to let into their
High-walled fortress they have built
Only for their protection
They might reply
"I don't know how it looks or feels or tastes, but I do know when I find it I will know it is what I have always wished for."

I don't know what to say to you
Because when I stand by you a few inches away
A million and one words come to my mind
They choke me
I try to speak but no sound comes
And so I stand here
Wanting To say a million things
But instead remaining in silence
So instead of saying a million things
Ill just hug you
Ill wrap my arms around your neck
In hopes that through this action
All the things I've wanted to say
Will be exhaled into the air
And you will knowingly wrap your arms
Around my waist and pull me in closer
Letting my chin rest on your shoulder
All my heaviness will fade
And everything will be okay
Through your embrace

There is a monster living in my mirror
Be careful
Look away
You are not allowed to see
I approach it carefully
But I have to see
To make sure it's still there
Not coming after me
I have to remember its face
Just in case
I should see it elsewhere
I glance in my mirror
And it begins to scream
And scream
Awful things at me
I look away plug my ears
Trying not to hear
But it's got into my mind
Not just my ears
Or my mirror

There is something peaceful about being alone
Allowed to sit with nothing but your own thoughts
Doing nothing only taking a moment to relax
Close your eyes take a deep breath
Let your mind wander to infinity
Relive good memories
Bit your lip as the bad make their reappearance
Contemplate the reason for making particular decisions
Imagine
Do not be bothered by anyone else making noise
Blah blah blah
Going on and on and on
About things you have no interest in
And go off to be alone
And find peace in the nothingness
That's all your own

Brown eyes
Everyone says they're dull
But yours shine so bright
Braces
Everyone is dying to get them off
But your smile lights up the room anyway
You don't know
But my friend
You are so beautiful
Kind
An oh so caring
Always polite
Your daddy raised you right
You are no stranger to pain
An with that power
You bring us happiness
You are so loved
And if you were to forget this
It would be a crime
Never ever forget
How special you are
To all of us
And when you feel like nothing
Remember god isn't finished with you
And neither are we.

The colorless sunrise begins
Dawn
Your eyes blink open, tired
But they know its time to awaken
The sun is hightest in the sky
Noontime
Everyone is rushing, bustling
Too busy to be bothered
The sky is mild orange and pale pink
Sunset
Soft breeze blowing, calming
But no one stops to see its beauty
Black sky sprinkled with lights and the white moon.
Midnight
Hush falls over the city lights, silence
But all are at rest no one awake to see.

You never know what beauty holds until you see it in little things
The soft curve of someone's chin
The clean scent in the room after you shower
The warmth of your blanket as it hugs you while trying to fall asleep
You never know what beauty holds until you see it in little things
A soft breeze blowing as you walk down an old and familiar street
The piano in the background of your favorite song
The mouth-watering scent of someone making your favorite breakfast when you wake up
The peace of being in the sun with a hint of sweet scent from the flowers
So the next time you think you know all the world has to offer, look for the beauty in the little things.

There once was a man I met
He took my hand
And whispered run
There once was a man I met
He saved my girlfriends life
And took her off to have some fun
There once was a man I met
He captured me in his blue box
And showed me the creation of the world
There once was a man I met
He had two hearts
And kept me alive on the moon
There once was a man I met twice
He saved the world once again
And took me away to see the stars
There once was a man I met
He came when I was a child in bed
And I waited for him to return
There one was a man I met
He stole away my bride
And eventually me as well
There once was a man I met
He took me away in his box
And told me I was impossible
There once was a man I knew
He was my sweetie
And he saved me eternally
There once was a man I know
He stole me away
And cared for me until our deaths
There once was a man
He fought wars
And saved worlds
He saved lives
And destroyed them
He was always kind
And very lonely
He was me

Why do you teach me of wonderful things and then place me in a box ?
Why do you see my dreams and ****** them away?
Why do you see my imagination and tell me to quiet it?
Why do you tell me I should not believe in that which I cannot see?
What is so wrong with belief in beautiful things?
What is wrong about wanting them to be true?
I do not understand the thinking of this world.
