14/M/America transmasc, he/they / "Oh, live the dream in a time machine / I've been waiting forever / . . . / What's the time? / Where's it gone? / When's beat one?"
The bright light blinded As I stood there and trembled, The shake not from fear But from nerves Sleek, black metal Clutched tightly in my hands, Polished yet worn all the same The Sun stood there mocking, Talking down and blinding, And before I knew it, I took aim The trigger was pulled By fingers I didn’t recognize As my own The bullet flew past, Just missing his head, And I realized what I’d just done He started to laugh, And ridicule some more, But by then The Stars had shown Punishment was imminent, Yelling moreso, But I couldn’t help but smile in the face of it

Juno
Weak and frail, Emotional and foolish, Nothing but a feeble, depressed freak Sunlight's rays pierce Painfully through eyes, Blinding and harsh With nowhere to hide, As songs so unoriginal Ring through my ears With this contentment comes A hightened fright As our Whole is split 'to three See me now, just half Of a liar's hollow soul Spiteful and vile, Pitiful and outlandish, Neglected to see That that's all I am If his cold logic, So unfeeling and cruel, Is to stake claim over the Soul Then it will surely die Without passion or feeling To guide it's desires A Whole cannot exist with Simple codes and digits Frigid and mechanic, So unnaturally automated It lacks such personality that I am surely needed to help The Soul cannot live without Emotions or feelings, Both so volatile Yet so essential to life Though now, all three Have argued, 'till no end Death never due us part, As we all return in the same The identical noise, So deafening and constant Reminding us our failed reconciliation How selfish I am, To yell, shout and cry Each and every time, Though I know deep down This was yet again my doing The war of straight reason, So sharp and unfeeling Against the blazing passion, Unpredictable and depraved Eternally torn, conflict born from difference That the Soul seeks to forever end

The Heart
How can you possibly love someone you don't really know? The only time you've seen eachother's faces was Being on video call and sending cute selfies The only things you've shared being childhood trauma and a passion for fanfiction How could such futile things On such a tiny screen Lead to such horrible, All-consuming Untamed Brooding love? The answer is simple You've looked far and wide, high and low, for someone who'd see you for who you are Now you've found it, The perfect person But you only know Their discord username And what state they live in Its a gnawing feeling, this kind of love The kind that makes you Stare out of windows and watch the sunset In hopes that they are looking At the same sun as you The kind that makes you Lie awake at night, begging For just one wish to come true For you to stumble upon them one day, maybe in a store or convention Or on a vacation The kind that fills you With this indescribable void Of wanting to be held But not knowing what their arms feel like around you, Of wanting to be kissed By lips you've only seen on pixels, Of wanting to experience them Like you have done it before

Someone You Don't Know
Quiet and docile child, Holder of beauty and grace, Never thought she'd be Such a disgrace Her mother says, "Why are you not dressing feminine? Getting ready for your life As a lovely housewife? Women are quiet, Do what they're told Don't fight back or argue, Don't spit or hate." She's always up late, hates dresses and makeup And doesn't care what anyone thinks She goes on in life, and at maybe 14, She starts to feel wrong Like her body isn't for her, Like she doesn't belong Not in this skin, not in these clothes She looks in the mirror And hates how she looks Her face too dainty And her hair too long So she takes some scissors, measuring just right Before snipping off brown locks Left and right Hair falls to the ground, littering the pink carpet She looks in the mirror And thinks, "Much better." A few months later, She has thought some more And decides that she Doesn't want to be "she" anymore So he changes his name, takes on a new look Sports band t-shirts and baggy jeans With hats to hide his hair, Which needs a trim He feels much more confident, Comfortable in his own skin But can't help but think, "What would Mom say?" So he hides it from her, Keeps his identity in the shadows And accepts gifts of ribbons and pearls With a shallow smile A few years later, It's impossible to hide He feels amazing now, But still is afraid Of what his mom will think, How she might react If she'll say, "Get out of my house!" or, "Pack your bags!" He can't wait to be 18, Get rid of the rest And finally live carefree But he can't help but crave That approval and love, The acceptance he'd get From his mom telling him, "I wanted a son anyways You are good enough."

I love how you say how adorable I am, When you squish my cheeks and poke my arms I remember that one time, when we laid in the grass and looked at the sky We laughed at silly jokes, and let go of all our worries I love how you whisper sweet praises in my ear, Call me such lovely names as you make me sore When you pull my hair and press me into the sheets That's one of the only things that makes me feel complete Like I belong, Like I have a true purpose I love how you make me feel so alive I hate how you hide me, When you sweep me under the carpet Act like I'm a sin, maybe because I am Because what we do is wrong, shouldn't be brought to light But if it is so horrible, Why does it feel so right?

What Friends Are For
Angels wander the streets of southern Louisiana Offering food to the unfortunate and struggling to feed themselves Angels sit at the street corners, as they wait for the light to turn And they ***** out their cigarettes before they walk into work Angels walk everywhere they go, as car is an invention of man And they have no money to buy one They thank the people that let them pass With grocery bags in their hand Angels are beings like my grandmother, Give when they have nothing aswell And accept nothing in return They use everything they have To make their loved ones happy And never, ever discriminate, no matter the Race Gender Sexuality Or appearance Only personality.

A True Angel
For some strange reason, I get so jealous when you're with her When you're happy, having fun And its not with me. For some odd reason, I wish I was the one you adored, Who you went to for advice, Who you laid in bed with at night But strange reasons can be explained, right? Perhaps I am jealous, Or maybe a bit selfish Thirsty for attention and approval, by chance Or maybe... I just wish that You loved me as much as you love her

Some Strange Reason
The forest breathes Because I am it's lungs The forest watches Because I am it's eyes I walk for the trees And live for the flowers I bathe in warmth for the roots And take in water for the leaves I provide homes to all creatures, Big and small, All seek shelter and I shall provide It is my purpose, for what I was raised, Yet, for some reason, I feel Discontent As if I need something more.

Seltsam
Night falls solemn, Over the ever-glowing city Stars battle street lights And skyscrapers cover the moon Doorway to the heavens, Silenced by crude humans One day, we will step out Gaze at the weeping sky The air fresh, crisp As we bask in the polluted sight She reaches out, the moon Tries to reason with us all But we turn away, do not listen Because we refuse to obey anyone But our own "God"

She, Die Luna
Immersive songs can Swallow you whole, The beat can wrap around you And bind you to the interlude Guitar and piano work in harmony, Violin and cello sing heavenly Lyrics built from broken worlds, Joy, sadness, anger and apathy As the chorus grand you by the hand, And leads you to a world you never knew Some bask in this bliss, Ignorant to their life, if just for a moment But you always must come back to Earth, Because the beauty cannot last forever
