American I write.
There's a creek I used to see When I was young I'd go there to think It calmed my mind See the girls were all yelling And it made it all cloudy And the boys were all calling And it made it all rowdy My mind was a castle for them to play in and stay in. I wasn't tired yet but cried from all the savin There's a Brook I used to go to When I was older I'd go there to kiss It gave me more time See the boys were all touching And it made me afraid And this one boy he cared And we held hands and stayed My heart was a labyrinth for them to search in. I wasn't wild yet but tired from all the ridin. There's a river I used to go to When I got a little older I'd go there to lie It treated me kind See the men were all looking And it made me so scared And the one boy he left And I had only scars left My body was a object for them to play with. I wasn't dying yet but wild from all the givin There's a lake I still go to Now that I'm older I go there to sink It lets me pass the time See the people all are passing And it makes me look down And I've been alone so long And I'm tired of changing My soul is a tomb for them to lay in I'm not dead yet but dying from all the cravin But in the winter it gets colder The lake freezes up No one sees me as I walk holding my cup I breathe it in and someone whispers to me deeply "Honey we're all flyin through life, so stay an evening"

Water
You should be afraid of me Most people are I'm a monster of emotions and broken parts Don't try to piece me back it's not worth the struggle I'm in the land of lost toys hiding neath the rubble I'll come out some day when I'm good and ready But not yet sweet child for these delusions are heavy Hanging from the noose is my poor soul Don't come up or you be pulled into my cold Dark hands reaching for the surface But the water is murky and your face a blur I'll find you sometime when my eyesight is clear But not yet sweet child for I'm not one to endear Rings at the alter I'm swaying to the music My sins I have bore will soon make me lose it I lie and I love and I dream and indulge But nothing is worth your soul I engulfe One day I'll be strong and speak the right lines But not yet sweet child I need to go for a ride

***** **** ***** ****** ***** nope. no more. I'm sick. sick of you let a girl have *** if she wants too let a girl have emotions if she wants to let a girl be herself without you judging her every detail and flaw ******* stop you don't know her you don't know her life you probably don't even know her family so stop judging based on what you can see till you can dig a little deeper. either look closer or don't look at all with those beady little ******* eyes. get over who you are. because you may think you're perfect, but that girl you called a **** is calling you a ***** and you're repeating the cycle.

You Can...
follow me to beds of roses to lust and passion to drinks and hangovers follow me to tear filled nights to unwritten letters to razor sharp edges follow me to a joyous night to a kiss and a light to fireworks and moonlit skies follow me to a cramped up bed to broken hearts to shadows and silhouettes lead me to some reason to some time to some logic out of the grime lead me to consistency to symmetry to brilliantly lit skies and butterflies

You stand Alone Surrounded by animals  Who don't have the intelligence to know That you are cold  You run and play smoke all ******* day Never trying to chase your demons away  And you see me  Me And you laugh?  What an odd thing That the only real person around you is to be laughed at by a man with a mask  You mask your fears  You mask your love You mask your kindness  But I know it all  I know the things that can make you fall  I know it all So stand and laugh With your hyenas in tow  Your swine cannot hurt me I only ever glow

Baby                               Sweetie                 Princess Snake your way into my heart With sweet nicknames Make me drunk on it All the lies I want to hear Baby                         Sweetie           Princess Snake your way in Take what you want Then leave without a peep Quietly leave me to my memory Baby                 Sweetie       Princess Depend on me You promise Depend on me You couldn’t trust the last one But you can trust me You can… always trust me Baby           Sweetie     Princess Slithering in and slithering out Charming and chasing and running away Feeling and loving and changing your mind And always naming me Baby       Sweetie   Princess Even as you can hear the tears falling down my face And the angry fumes in my voice Baby Sweetie Princess I am not a princess I am a queen Passed down from many others before I stand and breathe your  air But I am not the same as you I am no sweetie No baby I am a storm

Empty Names
Insignificance is a relative term The pessimistic thoughts that pass through our heads… The thoughts that say: We are not good enough, We do not matter, We are insignificant These are all just thoughts Controlled by you A person, Who can make choices and decisions, And although you may not be able to change the world as a whole You can change those insignificant little thoughts Because a person is more than what you think They are one of seven billion, but how big is seven billion really? And the world that you truly live in is made up of much, much less So the next time you think you aren't enough Remember that it’s you who controls whether you feel like enough or not. And when I feel like I’m drowning and I can’t breathe during the day, And all I want to do is crawl up in a ball in my house and cry and feel and be left alone I have to be reminded how much I’m worth Because even if we don’t know it, We are all worth something Even if sometimes we make mistakes Even if sometimes we hurt ourselves to let people know we aren't fine Even if we feel like we’re nothing We aren't Because although the world is a hateful and horrible awful place full of ignorance and judgment, There are still lights and halos and happiness and there’s laughter too in there There’s babies being born, people getting married, and random acts of kindness being done There are cookies and baklava and puppies There are young lovers and happy children and sweet singing There’s music and art and love being made And although the babies may be still, the couples may get divorced, and the acts of kindness may be empty The cookies may be burnt, the baklava old, and the puppies dead The young lovers may break each other’s hearts, the happy children may grow up and the sweet singing stopped The music may be sad, the art distasteful and the love not true It doesn't matter because all these things are part of life And all of these things were done by people And you’re a person So I’d say that’s pretty God **** awesome.
