Once, We all looked up to you I knew why You were stronger than us We all knew that But it made us feel stronger To be with you When in reality It made us weaker and paranoid because people looked at us as your minions When we only wanted to be your equal Your friend But in time the others left When they realized  they were never needed Because you never needed friends You were better than that

Once I knew nothing  of the world So I picked up a little boys dream And aspired to become an astronaut 8 years I trained And wished that my dream Would evolve into reality And one day it did Reality hit me like a bomb For what I had gotten into, Was 18 years in that spaceship And in that time My eyes witnessed things unimaginable Supernovas, Black holes And burning rocks falling to earth My knowledge began to grow And I was no longer young and ignorant But my time in the light was almost over It was time to go home and there was still so much i didn't know So I jumped out of my space ship And learned the way of the stars I danced on the rings of Saturn And rode on comets until they evaporated away The universe became my friend So she gave me her biggest secret It sat in my palm And I feared it But curiosity was always my downfall So I peeked The knowledge flooded me like a broken dam I  had everything And yet I had nothing Nothing to work for Or gain ... Now that I had everything There was nothing to live for So I didn't

Little Boys Dream
A doll can only fool We cursed them all with smiling faces To comfort little children when they frown But a painted smile can only run as thick the plastic its placed upon When we grow tired of them They end in garbage wastelands With smiles still gracing their faces In rancid piles of various forgotten things Until it rains The cold hard rain of unshed tears And washes away the fake smiles Because no thing , no matter how small Should have to smile forever

Artificial Smiles
In the middle of the night he knocks on your door And asks what you fancy He knows things that are bought can not bring happiness So he'll give you a discount But only because he knows his trinkets will bring bitterness and greed And that soon, you will ask for more And when you do He will give you what you wish For a price of course Again and Again But your money will soon evaporate So you will sign an IOU Sadly, you miss the small print The most important print of all 1 soul , it reads But it is too late The ground opens beneath you And that's when you notice the horns Peaking from the tips of his hair

I don't feel the pain The blade cuts smoothly A burn is present But its a pleasant feeling I can't hear the pain The room is silent Only my breath remains Held tightly in my chest My pain can be seen The redness flows from within The pain it emmits is not physical It comes from inside Pain from my depths My blood tells me Im alive ALIVE IT TELLS ME Who would want to live with such mediocre beings Beats Me...

My pain is in living
The sand is draining Each grain hits with a tick Like the steady beating of a clock Tick Tick Tick The noise is taunting Its impossible to stop The beating carries on Tick Tick Tick No one else can hear it A burden for my ears only Its a secret I want to tell Tick Tick Tick A burden I feel like I'm suffocating The secret is my end My hourglass cant last forever Tick Tick... The last grain falls

Seedling of Life Sink your toes into the earth Drink, like a babe upon the breast of its mother Earth is your mother Your shelter Grow young seedling, Grow Reach your long wooden arms up Touch the sun Feel the warmth The world is your family
