And the broken hid behind well crafted smiles, they hoped to stand with the innocent, the ones that beamed from where they stood as they called a witness to the stand. The witness said oh judge can’t you see, yes look at them smile and laugh just like they do with me. Objection, declared the lawyer of the opposing side; for do you not see the tears that rim their eyes. Now another witness was then called to the stand but this witness was not of the broken side and she promised to speak the truth and in honesty she said, I watch them fade away losing them selves throughout the day. The judge then brought the suspects to the stand and the suspects told their story, the beginning to the end. they declared not innocence but they spoke up to defend. You watched us fade away, you watched it day by day, but don’t you see broken is not bad it’s merely healing, merely changing, yes becoming. Objection! Said the lawyer once again, overruled declared the judge, continue as you were we were changing for the better because now we will be stronger smarter braver and happier Objection! Overruled! We may have sat alone we may have lost ourselves but can’t you see broken isn’t bad it’s merely changing. The suspects went back to their chairs as a judge told the crowd, be back within the hour and my decision will be made. So the hour past and the people took their seats. The judge raised her gavel and declared the suspects innocent because once she had been broken, once she had sat alone, and because she knew broken wasn’t guilty but the other way around.The blame should not be placed because broken isn’t bad but merely changing. The crowd was in an uproar, the suspect smile real. And The opposition finally found the broken wasn’t bad but merely changing.

Judgement of the Broken

And the broken hid behind well crafted smiles, they hoped to stand with the innocent, the ones that beamed from where they stood as they called a witness to the stand. The witness said oh judge can’t you see, yes look at them smile and laugh just like they do with me. Objection, declared the lawyer of the opposing side; for do you not see the tears that rim their eyes. Now another witness was then called to the stand but this witness was not of the broken side and she promised to speak the truth and in honesty she said, I watch them fade away losing them selves throughout the day. The judge then brought the suspects to the stand and the suspects told their story, the beginning to the end. they declared not innocence but they spoke up to defend. You watched us fade away, you watched it day by day, but don’t you see broken is not bad it’s merely healing, merely changing, yes becoming. Objection!

a player on the losing team a actor in a worn down theatre A singer with a tearful song One person playing the game of life Dancing on a broken stage A piece with no puzzle A dreamer in a forgotten dream One person playing the game of life A lesson with no one to learn A school without students A book with no words One person playing the game of life A heart with nobody to love A window boarded up A room with no door One person playing the game of life a player on the losing team a actor in a worn down theatre A singer with a tearful song One person playing the game of life

They want focus Despise distraction As they talk I Can’t focus and why I notice the moon In the bright sunny sky As they explain I hear what they Would never hear A birds first song They don’t listen But it’s sounds prolong They praise leaders Ignore the silent As they take charge I secretly strategize A voice of knowledge In silence it hides As they command There’s things o would say But they lead as they should If only we could do it a different way The distracted can see The silent can speak But society wants focus Society wants loud They despise distracted And ignore the silent

Against Society

They want focus Despise distraction As they talk I Can’t focus and why I notice the moon In the bright sunny sky As they explain I hear what they Would never hear A birds first song They don’t listen But it’s sounds prolong They praise leaders Ignore the silent As they take charge I secretly strategize A voice of knowledge In silence it hides As they command There’s things o would say But they lead as they should If only we could do it a different way The distracted can see The silent can speak But society wants focus Society wants loud They despise distracted And ignore the silent

They told us no one can win this war So We won the battle that no one could win And we showed them we were fighters They told us nobody could ever love the unlovable So We cared for the uncared for And we loved the ones no one else would love They told us we would never look good enough So We acted beautiful And we felt beautiful We would never look good enough But we would always act better They told us we would never be smart enough So We studied hard we did our best And we were smarter than enough They told us the scared could never be brave So We looked our fear in the eye and we met it face to face and we were scared but we would not run They told us we would never be enough and that we could never do what we were born to do They told us and they were wrong

They Were Wrong

They told us no one can win this war So We won the battle that no one could win And we showed them we were fighters They told us nobody could ever love the unlovable So We cared for the uncared for And we loved the ones no one else would love They told us we would never look good enough So We acted beautiful And we felt beautiful We would never look good enough But we would always act better They told us we would never be smart enough So We studied hard we did our best And we were smarter than enough They told us the scared could never be brave So We looked our fear in the eye and we met it face to face and we were scared but we would not run They told us we would never be enough and that we could never do what we were born to do They told us and they were wrong

People say don’t compare yourself to others but I stand next strength and I stand next to beauty People say do your best and that’s enough, but I will never be enough, cause I vocalize with a singer and play with an athlete People say you need to believe in yourself but I live with popular and I live with leaders People say confidence is key to hiding your fear but I sit next to credence and I converse with bravery

People say don’t compare yourself to others but I stand next strength and I stand next to beauty People say do your best and that’s enough, but I will never be enough, cause I vocalize with a singer and play with an athlete People say you need to believe in yourself but I live with popular and I live with leaders People say confidence is key to hiding your fear but I sit next to credence and I converse with bravery

Everything to know we knew All we did was for each other All we wanted was someone to rely on Together we won and lost theres beauty outside, no shadow to hide because we did the best we could’ve done Gone The light inside Gone The first time Gone The bright color of our eyes All we know is us All we do is for ourselves Nobody to trust, nobody to tell Alone I rarely win and mostly lose Only a shell of who I once was , a shadow of who I could’ve been Gone The light outside Gone The last time Gone The bright color of my eyes

When you don’t care what they all say That’s me Who am I you ask I am freedom When you breathe in a breath on a cold winter day That feeling your feeling That’s me And I am freedom When you make a wish on a shooting star A smile I give to you And I am freedom Freedom isn’t my only name I go by many others names like joy and peace Every time you smile or laugh or love that’s me and I am freedom

The hidden smiles, the hidden tears. The things you shared and the things you didn’t whether you wanted to or not. The times of violation, the times of loneliness. All the emotions you’ve ever felt,shown, or hidden create a song. One that no one can hear but if they did they would laugh and they would cry, they would feel joy and they would feel sorrow, but they won't hear your song and you won't hear theirs, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.

Hidden Songs

The hidden smiles, the hidden tears. The things you shared and the things you didn’t whether you wanted to or not. The times of violation, the times of loneliness. All the emotions you’ve ever felt,shown, or hidden create a song. One that no one can hear but if they did they would laugh and they would cry, they would feel joy and they would feel sorrow, but they won't hear your song and you won't hear theirs, not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
