her tears fell salty like the sea in which she drowned her feelings out so she cried and her heart shrunk and dried, it turned from soft to bone because you can't squeeze blood from a stone . . .

turning cold
To be looking for giants And seeing nothing but dust. Can we make our own legends And tower over all Even though the world is so big And we are so small? We are not heavy enough For our steps to leave a trace A whisper in time, A forgotten face So we will die Disappear Please just remember that we were here Welcome to our home, our birthplace and our grave Hello and Goodbye Welcome to planet earth This is where our bodies lie

Dead in Time
The ledge was slippery, Like my mind at the moment. A time in space that didn’t seem to matter. I fell, but I didn’t jump - I was pushed. I might have made the leap, but I never made the choice. I might have made no sound, but I never had a voice. I fell, but the truth is still that I didn’t jump - I was pushed. I silently drowned. I had been dead for a long time before I even hit the ground .

falling to heaven
"Death gives meaning to life." It makes me so angry, because, How ridiculous is it not? That we accept an end? Death does not give meaning to life. - We do. And meaning is not something to be given It is something to be taken. With every breath - With every step - And every leap you take You create your purpose. "Death gives meaning to life." No. Living does. You do not read a book for the end -you read it for the journey. You should not wake up just to go to bed -you wake up to enjoy the day. You do not live to die. You live to live.

The Meaning of Life
Human life is funny. I tend to think of us as candles. And we flicker. We’re small. We die. But, you feed that candle, it can be a fire. And we burn. We blind. We remember.

life like fire
We are descendants of legends, making our own ones.

I heard that Anger is a secondary emotion. I want to scream And tell them to look at me. I want to beat them up So they feel like I do. But I think I actually just want to cry And stop myself from hurting.

A screaming cry
Is it hope That we feel When we stare into the dark And hope something will stare back Or is it fear That we feel When we hope for something In nothing

fear of hope
"There’s too many”, And they looked at me. Did someone stab me? It felt like it. And then they said my name. Did someone twist the knife? It hurts.
