It never occurs to people that life moves slower than we think. It's just that we move at a faster rate than time, we're constantly going, multitasking, tweeting, facebooking, texting, snapchatting, an endless parade of crap that we don't need. I, on the other hand, take each day as if tomorrow will suck, not that it will be my last but that I won't be happy. If you try your hardest to make yourself and others around you happy, even for a little bit of time, you've truly lived. Keep smiling ;)
Pain is the cost of Love but like Love it never leaves only grows. That's how you know you're human. You feel pain, Love, something tangible.

Human
Loss. Morbid thoughts collide Loneliness spreads like flame Emptiness overwhelms me Crash. Burn. Stillness. What was once there Evaporated Slowly Acid climbs my throat Seering scars along the way But refuses to escape Like chains around my neck I'm forced into silence Like shredded paper I fall to pieces Pain. Screams along the inside Walls of my mind Like burning flesh I lose myself I unravel and crouch Into a tiny stone ball Held tightly by the fierce hands of regret.

Chains
The ravages and ruin unwavering in their slumber The ashes suspended in mid-air frozen in time The greenery has turned black The fog settled in permanence Vines spread like disease Smoke escaped empty houses The last lantern extinguished New darkness covered the old sky If it rained, it rained tears and blood Trees tilted unnaturally like hands hovering over the crumbled street My shadow is all that remained This horrid and forlorn city became my home It walked along the ruins and left no prints in the dust The agony and stench It dragged its feet The sound like nails to a chalk board I can call back my shadow anytime but something stops it A white flower grew out of the dust It was beautiful but before i can love it... snap Shadow returns to the darkness

Exodus
inside the glass snow is falling lights bounce out of it a culmination of yesteryears a trapped love inescapable doubt not knowing never leaving then the drop the shatter the rapture the freedom the sadness the depression the loss envelopes me i want to go back inside but i am cast out rejected into reality never going back the sparkles scatter across the floor i can't reclaim them i can't put the glass back together i can't hide inside this globe anymore i must progress i mustn't step on the glass i mustn't bleed not anymore
