A kind and gentle King. I welcome friends, and I adore the art I see created here. You are all beautiful, and I love you all.
I am ready to open throats And yours will be the first I sink my teeth into I'll tear out those lies You spew about me And spit them in the dirt Like the bile they are Play with the wolf And see how fast I can turn Come at me again And I'll show you How much blood I'm willing to spill **** off from me From turning my friends Against me Or I swear to god You won't have a throat to speak from

**** Off
I have teeth And I will ******* bite I am done being the animal Kicked into the corner I will be the wolf That takes no **** I am out for blood And the moment you test me I will sink my teeth Into your yielding throat You are a snake And I will break you The next time you so much As look at me Don't believe me? Come find out.

Teeth
The dark universe opens up To a blooming galaxy Spanning light years across the space From my brain to my heart A mix of understanding and enigmatic thoughts A paradox in what I thought was Simple to comprehend Only the future will tell So here I go One foot In front of The other

A New Journey
I'm so ******* bitter And it's festering like an abcess And I must express it I'm so ******* bitter Because you made a promise Got me to believe again That love was vibrant and worth Giving one more try You Painted me a picture of forever And left me with a tragic water damaged Oil painting that I can never Forget The colors blending together And now they're an amalgamation Of greys and blacks And now I can't remember When they were something beautiful I'm so ******* bitter Because as soon as I needed you The one time I really needed you You decided you'd rather forever Be never I'm so ******* bitter Because of you

Bitter
It was the first time in a long time. I had resigned myself to being locked in my fortress, alone, but safe. Then you came. You were a friend at first, and then you were more, and I opened my shackled doors. Things were good. They were hard sometimes, but they were good. You wandered my castle for a time, acquainting yourself with the parts of me you could reach. Sometimes you hurt me when you were hurting, but I didn't blame you. Because I loved you. After more time had passed, I allowed you into my throne room. Told you what had been lurking in my depths, the fears I felt and how the mortar of my structure was crumbling. I let you into my very core. I thought you could help. You seemed to grow slowly hostile after I told you. My halls weren't filled with the usual warmth. Then I brought you to the throne room when my stone began crumbling and my throne began splintering, you agonized on how the splintered wood affected you, instead of giving me the support beams I needed to stay together. The wood of my legs split, and I was hurting, and I needed you most. I still bore your weight when you hurt, but my breaking, jagged wood was... Too much for you. Though before I began crumbling, you had told me you would endure anything, for you loved me. But then you left. My throne was broken, the stone of my castle shuddering without support; I was falling. I supported you in your loneliness, cradled you by my hearth when life was too much. But when I began crumbling, you decided my halls were not for you any longer. You would not help maintain that which sheltered you through brutal storms, that which always promised you a safe place to stay. You left. And it hurt at first. But then I was angry. My fire flared, knowing you told others that my crumbing bricks weren't really breaking, that I was an insult to those that truly needed help, even when you knew that the bombardments of my crisis shattered my walls, broke my throne. You would have people look at my cracked stone and jagged wood and think it a ploy for pity, even as I struggled to keep myself standing in the vicious storm that raged on. I allow close friends to wander my halls after you left, and they help rebuild. Place mortar between the cracks of my walls, clean the cobwebs away from my corners. I will not allow them to enter my throne room. Not yet. It will take time. I will rebuild my broken throne, my hands will bleed from the splinters, but I will prove you wrong. I will be the King I was meant to be, I will show you how wrong you were about me. I want you to know what treasure you left behind. What you took for granted. My walls are fortified, my dear friends maintain it for me, and I hold them by the warmth of my hearth. I will support them as I did you, for they are grateful and help keep me standing. Not like you.

A fragile little thing. Xylophone ribs that heaved as coral reefs beneath a hurricane, and a prominent spine, a mountain range down a plain of pale white. Mountain range cutting against a pale plain in sharp and jagged ridges, a volatile and fearful structure, shifting with the quakes that came from the planet's heart, a flighty beat. Gashes in the land, deep fissures in his earth from tremors of stress in his core, bringing more fractures and gashes in the delicate white frame.  Two brown moons, always wide and full. He was a dying planet, orbitting a dying star that pounded within, a ticking bomb awaiting a cataclysm; and such a force came to the withered shell of a planet. A supernova burst forth, and the fragile planet crumbled into nothing, thin fragile bones blowing away as dust among the stars, along with his brown moons and plains of sickly white. This was a death, and a beginning, too. From the dust of his bones he reformed, the gashes of his tremors and quakes becoming hills and gentle ridges upon the healthy soil of his new skin. His spine no longer an unforgiving range of sharp bones and discomfort, now settled comfortably beneath his earth. A true structure to be relied upon, one that will not bend beneath force. His brown moons are warm and quiet, calming the tidal waves and vicious tremors that once stormed in his core and tore fissures upon his coasts. A living planet, one that could give hospitality and withstand forces unknown. It took a supernova, a death so loud all the solar system tembled in its wake; but from that, he was reborn. Greater than the sickly planet and fragile core, he became a system of stars and comets, constellations in beauty marks upon a thriving expanse of healed skin, a new being, strong and resilient. Do not be afraid of the end, because more often than we may realize, it is a beginning; the one we have always needed.
