Crushed flowers are more beautiful Than those that are not They tell a story Much like the scars we carry Be it on our skin or in our minds Our tales are what define us And not our appearances That wither just as the flowers That are in bloom and shining so brightly Give them a few more days And they'll be no more Than a fleeting memory

Flaws
All humans are broken inside They are all just shattered glass Held together By some ****** up duct tape The more they live And move on in life The more troublesome shards Fall from them They rot slowly Until they are dead They are all dead men Each with a due date Carved on their hearts That is when their debts are due And they have nothing But their soul To pay the price of living Humans think they're so smart But really, they're just as brain dead As the next species If not stupider They have their cliques and societies Those cute little clubs Where they harass anyone Who is considered other or lesser While the animals roam free Living short but happy lives Without a care in the world Except for the destruction That the humans cause In the natural order How can they be considered superior just because they can have thought? Thought only leads to depression Thought only leads to jealousy Thought only leads to killing I am ashamed to say that I am a Human.

Humanity
My heart cries tears of blood While a smile is plastered on my face When I laugh, an earthquake erupts in my flesh My skin aches to be ripped off To show the world my misery and suffering Yet the lies of my life stitches my costume to my soul Unbearable pain flashes like thunder from a storm I want to cringe, to cry, to shout but my act must go on My only comfort that makes me alive and living Is knowing that all masquerade will only last Until this exhausted disgusting body rots and dies

Finale
I have always loved to write It is a passion and a burden These flames that reside within me Burn me raw with envy The talent I see in others Rips me apart with yearning For more I crave to be beautiful In these sentences I string But these words do not feel real They are but letters on a page Easily destroyed and forgotten Yet the works of others are timeless They exist in another dimension One that does not age For they are the gods of poetry And I am only a mortal That dreams to be in the heavens
