Peter Pan once took me home To Neverland I met everyone From Captain Hook and Mr. Smee To Tiger Lily and Tinkerbell For as long as I could I stayed with the Lost Boys But I soon had enough Of the homesickness Swelling within So I left Neverland But once I returned I saw that the home I had Was gone And the world I knew Was hidden deep in smog And metal "Time passes quick on Neverland," Peter told me "Home is gone," Then we flew back to Neverland Where children came But never left

Neverland
Born in the past But living in the now And will continue to the future Made a deal with the devil But a soul isn't the only price A tooth for a tooth A lifetime for a lifetime To see forever One must also see Things once loved Shrivel and die Not invincible Only immortal Is it really worth Seeing loved ones Grow old and pass While you stay forever young And helpless?

Immortal
We say we are original That no one person is alike Yet how can we say this When people obsess over celebrities Or everyone wants to be A part of a trend From dances to poses Originality is craved Yet never truly made Songs hold the same meaning Words have the same impact People think the same ways So when one person Thinks outside of the box Society ridicules And denies this person The right to originality We say it was already done

Originals
Onyx wings and silky feathers Sadly beautiful and mesmerizingly furious A broken soul and a shattered heart to pair Scarred, pale skin appears translucent A face that is beautifully depressing Once upon a time They walked among the stars Now they are forced to walk amongst humans The devil showed pity For he was God's favorite and an angel once long ago One wrong choice Now he rules below So angels become demons Because they were once loved But wanted more So Lucifer showed mercy Now they have their beauty again Now they are angels with a dark side

Fallen
Consider this We tell ourselves to live in the moment But we are afraid of change We tell others to follow their dreams But snicker and tease when they do We promise to do good tomorrow But never think about it Unless we receive as well We set standards of normalcy But tell others to be different Or be unique And outcast them When they become too unique We are scared of changed Or of being different We are scared of stereotypes And labels But never do anything to change them Consider this

Stop and Think
On one hand, You're seeping in To the most delicate And untouched parts of my soul, On the other, My organs inside Are like dry rough bark Anyone who comes near Is sent away with scratches on their heart, I want to feel my whole insides become wet, capable of unconditional love, But I fear myself. Many men have tried to roll like sweet honey into my heart Once my drunkeness has worn off Or the initial thrill has dimmed I scrape them off like a bug from my shoe. When you look at me it is different, When you look, I can feel you seeing inside my soul in a way I can't hide, Still I try. I have no abandonment issues, Or low self esteem, I am just truly and simply a bird When I see a cage I become concerned.

Bird
With night sky there is usually a moon there. Usually. But not always. A pale surface beaten into— An expression, as if saying, "I am tired. I have seen too much."

With Night Sky
When my existence ends, Do not hold me to earth. Bury me within the stars; Return me to which I came from. Let me shake hands with those who watch over the night and dance to a song Unheard by the living ear. Here I will find my soul. Here I will join immortals.

A flame is the lonely rage, hidden in the heart of desire. It burns for love and compassion, yet is stoked by the poker of hate, Corruption is a dragon, greedy and terrifying. Books are knowledge, inviting and comforting, but filled with the heavy truths of the world.

Metaphors
Drawing images using some words Telling some stories that are unheard Stealing the moment, freezing the time Killing the beast that vultures the mind Spilling blood, the pen is our knife Collecting traces from this mysterious life Connecting dots to create a line Polishing stones to make it shine Our words are riddles, a must to decode Giving multiple key for them to unload The meaning of some could make readers insane If wrongly unlock it will conquer their brain We are a shape-shifter just like the cloud Painting angels and demons to enlighten the crowd Hoping they’ll listen to our joy and our pain Wishing they’ll get the lesson of our every rain 11/03/2015 Mysterious Aries
