Looking up, the light Is blinding And I am falling Down The light fades The darkness grows And I am falling Down The wind is rushing Deafening, Roaring And I am falling Down There’s no more light All is quiet And I am on The Ground

A Haiku
Walking to class Fearing all words When I hear a toned, bittersweet, thoughtful word. It calls to me, and I answer, following the word into a place where the acoustics could carry even the most sinful of sounds to Heaven There's no one there but Aphrodite Are we in Milos? She stands there; atop a fountain with water so crystal clear I can see my reflection A reflection, so vivid, I can almost hear myself, Speaking meaningless words that sound Better to Hear than to Say And I see what I could have been

Venus de Milos
Everyday I imagine a future where I can be with you Some things truly are impossible In my hand is a pen that will write a poem of me and you Happiness can't exist there Some things truly are impossible The ink flows into a dark puddle Happiness can't exist there Just move your hand, write your way into his heart! The ink flows into a dark puddle Like Quicksand, smothering me Just move your hand, write your way into his heart Maybe I can make it out Like Quicksand, smothering me But in this world of infinite choices Maybe I can make it out what will it take just to find that special day? But in this world of infinite choices One choice always results in more choices What will it take just to find that special day? When there are no more choices to make One choice always results in more choices Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today? When there are no more choices to make; When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyways Have I found everybody a fun assignment to do today? I don't want to let you guys down When you're here, everything that we do is fun for them anyways Nothing I do makes anything better I don't want to let you guys down. When I can't even read my own feelings If I can't make anything better, What good are words when a smile says it all? When I can't even read my own feelings I don't know what to do What good are words when a smile says it all? No one else here feels real I don't know what to do And if this world won't write me an ending We're the only two who feel real What will it take just for me to have it all? And if this world won't write me an ending I can write my own ending What will it take just for me to have it all? How will I know when I have it all? I can write my own ending Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me? How will I know when I have it all? Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free? Does my pen only write bitter words for those who are dear to me? This wasn't my intention Is it love if I take you, or is it love if I set you free? I just want to love you... This wasn't my intention The ink flows down into a dark puddle I just want to love you, How can I write love into reality? The ink flows down into a dark puddle I succumb to it How can I write love into reality? I can only give you mine I succumb to it If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat I can only give you mine What do you call love in your reality? If I can't hear the sound of your heartbeat How am I sure you are real? What do you call love in your reality? How do I know love is real? I'm sure that you are real; And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you I know love is real; I'll leave you be. And in your reality, if I don't know how to love you Everyday I'll imagine a future where I can be with you I'll leave you be Though my hand will hold a pen that will write a poem of me and you

I thought I knew what was best for Me Everyone always told me I had great potential Even though I kept messing up and it wasn't what I wanted to hear Everyone always told me I had great potential If I would only work a little harder That wasn't what I wanted to hear My motivation only grew weaker If I could only work harder I didn't know what direction to go in My motivation growing weaker How could I ever make it in this world? I have no clue what direction to go in I'm hopeless, everything I planned was wrong I can't make it here, in this world Something has to change I'm hopeless, everything I planned was wrong I keep messing up Something has to change I don't know what's best for me

"The Chimney Sweeps are children" And suddenly we're back In the 18th century Sitting in a blackened church And I am the monarch Indifferent to it all
