Listen
I close my eyes, hearing
Hear
I open my heart, listening
For the quiet, for the love
It will come eventually
Quiet

As it creeps slowly to the back of your mind, you gradually forget it. That one thing, so important to you, the scar that never fades. Although you don't remember, you'll never forget. Just know that time heals all wounds, and that words will be thrown. Never forget.
Never Forget

Hearts breaking
Time awakening,
Lives are at stake.
Blocking windows,
Locking doors,
Until there's nothing more.

Held back by the chains of poverty,
As you walk aimlessly around
The people around you flying freely through the mischievous ways of life, without a care in the world, and you realize you are alone. No money, no home.

Purple patches coving your completely swollen cheeks.
Gums conquering your teeth.
Bruises all over you arms.
You walk into class, and all goes quiet.
Then comes the incessant laughter.
After they calm, and you sit down, embarrassed completely.
The whispers, the giggles, the pointing, you cannot handle it.
You run out of the room and dash out of the school.
You run all the way home,
and as soon as you reach your bedroom, you drop to the floor,
screams and sobs flooding your household.
Of course, the kids would laugh. I'm ugly, I'm different, I'm disgusting.
And I've been cursed with Leukemia.

I found myself in a room of mirrors.
Some were kind, and others, not so much.
They said to me "Come closer, come closer!"
So I walked into the room,
And dropped. Thousands and thousands of feet,
Into my own living hell.

Poets Comment: See the point of this is that you can never see the true you, and reach self Actualization, even if you try to conquer the demon inside of you.

He spoke the words in a slur
As if they came straight from hell
And they seemed so true, so sweet, I could taste it in my mouth.
I felt that I must follow it, and I will realize what life means.
So, I went deeper, and deeper, and deeper, into my soul.
And I found what I was looking for.

The darkness enfolds me in its holy grasp, as I take in my surroundings,
My life, my home, are gone, like the quick breeze of a day gone by.
And just like that, a snap of the finger, I bring myself to face,
The demon inside of me.

Have you ever felt like something around you's changed,
Your oh so perfect life has become deranged,
You've become a person in this world that doesn't have a clue
Who she is, or what to do.
And your beginning to realize,
That not everything is what it seems to be
In your eyes.
Lurking behind every corner,
Dodging questions left and right
Hiding from your problems
As darkness turns into light.
But don't you feel the cold breeze in the air,
The leaking faucet
Uncontrollable hair.
Are just part of life that your supposedly in
But don't you realize,
That everything's not what it seems to be,
In your eyes.
