Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give man a mask and he will tell you the truth
Why am I afraid? Outside the spotlight, Do I think I'll fade? Is that why I feel such a fright? I'm hiding from the man in the mask. I'm worried to pass under the arch. So before I go I want to ask, Why are you afraid of the dark?

Why Are You Afraid?
Splatter paint has stained His sunlit skin Blacks, blues, and grays chained Him to his sin Painted words have trained Him on what could have been His charcoal tears Paved roads as they fell And after years I'm still under his spell His streets still refuse to disappear, Still lead me out of my hell

My notebook has been left blank since that day... This is the story I didn't write down.

How can I write poetry about you, when you've never compared my eyes to the sea during a storm. or told me I have galaxies inside me?

and i guess i'm just asking, if all the things you said to yourself, appeared on your body, would you still be beautiful?

BUT NOBODY TOLD ME THE FUNERAL NEVER ENDS. IT'S BEEN ELEVEN YEARS NOW, AND THE CASKET'S STILL LOWERING. "LEAVE ME HERE MOM. LEAVE ME HERE. I'M DEAD TOO."

I could sing a song Would they listen? I realized something today After months of figuring Who am I? I am me. And who is me? Someone to warm your cold hand Someone to protect your battling soul Someone to bandage your ****** heart Someone to trust you when you can't Someone to sing you asleep I'll tell you a story of a girl I knew Who couldn't fix herself quite right

The nightmare you wake up to at 2am, You look around the room and see a figure, A person, Then you stare at it and realise its staring back at you, As it creeps closer to you, The darkness that figure is, Consumes you, Only for you to wake up from a nightmare, Looking in a mirror.

Nightmare
Instead of throwing into a wishing well; Go save another child, Go save lives in another country. Because every second 1.78 people die, 107 deaths per minute, 6390 per hour, 153000 per day, 56.0 million deaths a year, 3.9 billion per average lifetime. Maybe even someone you know.

Wishing well
The pretty rose was full of thorns, But that knowledge came far to late.
