Autumn is here
Today is the day
Nothing to fear
Beauty on display

Red is the leaves
Their passion showing
Allowing me to believe
There is reason for growing

Yellow as they fall
Bright and on fire
Giving hope to all
Enabling us to aspire

The world is amazing
So we should be too
Our souls glowing
Together we continue

The Slave

I keep forgetting
That I matter too
Maybe I'm too caring
So much, myself I *****

I bend to people's whims
So they can be happy
Their joy a synonym
For me feeling ******

I need to learn
To love my being
Otherwise I'll burn
And die screaming

I lived my life being a scapegoat, but the people I talk to now help me learn that I deserve to be happy too. P.S. No one worry this isn't a cry for help. I just haven't written anything sad or angsty in a while. Need a change of pace.

Don't Regret

I have too many regrets
In my mind they rage
These feelings I want to forget
Put me inside a cage

The past catches up
And rips apart the future
My feelings pileup
And I can't stop the torture

Then I open my eyes
The dawn is here
Beautiful is the sunrise
I never want it to disappear

Falling Prayer

Pushed off the cliff
I begin to fall
Beginning to drift
Waiting for the angel's call

The world rushes past me
As I begin to descend
Wind screaming wildly
Maybe this is my end

This dive is killer
My demise stalling
All of life is just filler
To hide the endless falling

The ground never hits
Realizing this isn't dying
I gain bliss
As I begin flying

99

We can't be perfect
No matter what
At least one aspect
Won't make the cut
Maybe it's all a sign
Can't be 100, so be 99

Life, a list of chores
It's not going to be easy
But it's always yours
You'll start to feel crazy
When it's not all fine
Can't be 100, so be 99

The last percent
Can't be attained
Because it's an accent
Rather than feel stained
Call it mine
Can't be 100, so be 99

Never Cry

Sometimes I'm in the dark
And the night closes in
I live with this mark
Sadness upon my skin
Ask if I'm okay and I want to lie
Because I never want to see you cry

It can get hard to move
My feelings are howling
But your care it does soothe
No longer it feels like drowning
I feel happy and begin to fly
Because I never want to see you cry

The world keeps spinning
And life goes on
Yet just beginning
A new day's begun
I want to go on, ask why
Because I never want to see you cry

All I Want

All I want is to be happy
For everyone to feel okay
But that's not the reality
The outlook looking grey

What does it mean
If life is so worthless
To escape the machine
We start to lose purpose

If people are willing
To just throw it all away
Because it's not fulfilling
Then why should I stay?

I am answered quickly
They come running
Knocking on my door already
Making sure the sun is shining

It's dark outside
The sky a work of art
I can no longer hide
As people warm my heart
