You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may **** me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise
again and again.

Her lips taste like gold
And I smell lilacs on the wind
As a breeze brushes back her hair
She looks me in the eye
And traces a finger down my cheek
And along my jawline
Just to pull gently on my chin hair
She wraps her hands around my face
And pulls me in for a long kiss
No words need to be said
We were speaking with our souls
And I knew there was a reason for everything
In that moment

I've spent years at loves door
With bloodied knuckles I begged
Each time I knock she'd just
bang the door harder.
Imagine my surprise
When it finally opens
And I see you on the other side
Knuckles Bloodied.

I wish I wasn't shy
I wish I could be myself
I wish they could see
I'm just like everyone else
I wish I could share my thoughts
I wish I could speak my mind
But the harder I try
The more my tongue is twined
I wish I was transparent
So people could see
That the wall I put up
Is just for security.
I come off as distant
I come off as aloof
But take a look in my heart
And you will find proof.
I am no different than you.

Taking in this poison has become our daily lives
we're so caught up in living, we've forgotten to survive

New year.
New heartbreaks.
New surprises.
New mistakes.
New disappointments.
New feelings.
New horrors.
New people.
New poems.

there's something
dangerous
about the way you pause
ever so slightly before
pressing your lips
to mine
it's as if the space
between our lips is
begging you to
keep your distance
because if you were
to proceed, you'd find
yourself in a world of
contradiction
you see, i am the moon
and i find myself
lusting after
the city
instead
of
the
sea

Where does it end
Hell on Earth
Hell in dreams
Hell in death
where is heaven
where is peace
searching amongst this hatred, anger, violence
nothing but Hell
where does it end
