Am I sitting in the middle Of a room filled with Mirrors Or am I The mirror?

The Judge Stoic and unfeeling Raises his mallet Down it comes Crushing us all. It falls like a guillotine Echoing through the empty halls Of my mind Anger rises But is quickly silenced The case is closed. Nothing Can be done Sentenced to life On the ground.

Judgment Passed

The Judge Stoic and unfeeling Raises his mallet Down it comes Crushing us all. It falls like a guillotine Echoing through the empty halls Of my mind Anger rises But is quickly silenced The case is closed. Nothing Can be done Sentenced to life On the ground.

The plane descends Into a smog The sea barely visible The runway appears suddenly. A grey oppressive place, Large mountains looming ahead In the distance. They seem to be watching. Waiting. Cold, hard walls Reflections are all you see Staring back At you The customs were rough And crowded. A condescending look And your passport thrown back at you Out of the gates More grey The city's dead Yet bustling with people The smog just touches the top of the buildings You smell smoke. A concrete jungle Cold and Grey.

A Cold Grey Place

The plane descends Into a smog The sea barely visible The runway appears suddenly. A grey oppressive place, Large mountains looming ahead In the distance. They seem to be watching. Waiting. Cold, hard walls Reflections are all you see Staring back At you The customs were rough And crowded. A condescending look And your passport thrown back at you Out of the gates More grey The city's dead Yet bustling with people The smog just touches the top of the buildings You smell smoke. A concrete jungle Cold and Grey.

Music Just has a way Of expressing everything Worming itself Deep Deep Down Inside Digging out the deepest Hidden emotions Explaining the inexplicable Showing the unseeable *The Pain Anguish Reluctance Sentiment* Everything you wanted To say To express To think *Anger Tears Frustration Turmoil* It all comes out The instrument An extension of your very self The vibrations reaching Your very core And sometimes You even feel a little Pull In the argument between Melody and Lyrics The Music Is the Power The Words Only give it Meaning But they can only do So much.

Wordless Power

Music Just has a way Of expressing everything Worming itself Deep Deep Down Inside Digging out the deepest Hidden emotions Explaining the inexplicable Showing the unseeable *The Pain Anguish Reluctance Sentiment* Everything you wanted To say To express To think *Anger Tears Frustration Turmoil* It all comes out The instrument An extension of your very self The vibrations reaching Your very core And sometimes You even feel a little Pull In the argument between Melody and Lyrics The Music Is the Power The Words Only give it Meaning But they can only do So much.

There was once an Angel A young one wings as white as snow Smile as bright as day Cheery Optimistic Happy go lucky Bringing warmth all around As she grew up Her wings began to get darker. First it was a few black speckles Starting from the very tips Through many storms She went The smile quivers Shakes them wings But they stay She grew a bit more The cherubic round face Growing longer The black speckles now covering half Like a shadow She fought Blood flew Her own and others It soon didn't make a difference She grew up Tall and lanky Her wings are now black Like a raven's Her eyes were guarded The bright spark Now a hard glitter She barely smiles anymore And when she does, It isn't The same Leaving a trail of Ice Wherever she goes An icy fire Burning within Keeping her going.

Growing Up

There was once an Angel A young one wings as white as snow Smile as bright as day Cheery Optimistic Happy go lucky Bringing warmth all around As she grew up Her wings began to get darker. First it was a few black speckles Starting from the very tips Through many storms She went The smile quivers Shakes them wings But they stay She grew a bit more The cherubic round face Growing longer The black speckles now covering half Like a shadow She fought Blood flew Her own and others It soon didn't make a difference She grew up Tall and lanky Her wings are now black Like a raven's Her eyes were guarded The bright spark Now a hard glitter She barely smiles anymore And when she does, It isn't The same Leaving a trail of Ice Wherever she goes An icy fire Burning within Keeping her going.

It's been so long Yet not enough We've come so far Yet we've got so far To go The journey ahead Is full of twists and turns Forks and bends But I trust That through it all These ties will hold I still remember The six years that changed me Trained me To be something That I wasn't Was quickly undone In the seventh year A new year We shall count from one With the weight of the mould I felt lost and unsure In this place of light And warmth And this new home With an amazing family New ties quickly formed And with the mould disintegrating, I was free... It was YOU Who taught me There's no harm shining; Being proud of what I have It was YOU Who taught me Just give all you've got That There's no need to hide or with hold It was You Who taught me That history could Last It was You Who taught me To just be; Take everything with a smile brightly And It was You Who unlocked That locked door I kept shut so tightly in those six years Trickling light into that dark, closed room Thank you all For these two years You've helped me find Myself Not the old one, Not the one that was Buried Squished and Lost But you've all helped me find A unique New Me And as I lay here Staring at these bracelets I can't help but feel Wistful That it's all going to be Over *The smiles The laughter The undeniable stupidity Tears All those memories All those things We went through Together* That we're all going In different ways And alas, I shed a single tear For what the future holds, I cannot fathom And there are mixed feelings Of apprehension and fear But at least these ties will hold They will have to Over long distance And all Because I can't ever Bear to part With all of you Any of you Ever Despite all these Changes

The last day For the last time A small team of five Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye Not to each other, But to our wings. The wings that we have grown Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye To the skies we'd no longer Soar through, To the fragile ties we've built Through everything we held through Now it's time to say goodbye To a home that we have found A cozy one of five and more To everything we enjoy Through everything we have held through Now it's time to say goodbye All our efforts And all our dreams Now all amounting to naught Through everything they have held through Now it's time to say goodbye Thrown into a brand new place With strangers, maybe enemies We have to start again Through all the pain to learn square one Now it's time for us to die Have our legacy Fade away Replaced by another one Never to be continued again, To just live in our memories We may or may not Choose to leave But either way, it's still set: What's ours will still Be taken away But in our hearts Our very core We'll still be yearning To once more, Soar We'd always belong To the Air, though Grounded, Our eyes turn Skywards Forevermore

Shedding Wings

Fool. I knew I shouldn't have. Shouldn't have stood up Tried too hard Now I'm a joke and A laughing stock Shouldn't have listened Shouldn't have brought Now I'm an eccentric Nut job. Should have studied Should have revised Now I'm just another Hypocrite The end is nigh I say "Goodbye" Hope the wind blows These debris behind. Far far away And never to be Remembered

Tremors and aftermath Resonate through the soul Toppling confidence And shaking foundations Hectic mayhem Everyday Deadlines to meet Marching ever closer Preparations to be done Finishing? Well, almost Never Efforts paid Going up in flames The smoke covering The living daylight And also suffocates Raiders and robbers Stealing what's dear Taking everything away Killing hopes and dreams I am starting to fear Seven days Seven twins Maybe fourteen Or more They come and go On and off Much as I wouldn't want anyone To know The seawall held together By a single thread Of sheer willpower Waves slosh And threaten to spill And the thread strains To hold
