Like a ghost on the wind
She comes from the sea
And trembles the foe
So wild and free

With swashbuckling swagger
And a Jolly Roger laugh
She flies the black flag
On a whalebone staff

She has terrifying eyes
And a ring in her ear
And on her sun tanned face
A flippant leer

With a bone-cold glare
And a sneer on her lip
She has coins in hand
And a cutlass on hip

With a thunderous blast
From her cannons' might
She plants fear in the strong
And steals the fight

She takes all that's lost
And turns it to gold
For she's crafty and devious
And frightningly bold

She is dashing and daring,
A fierce buccaneer
Faces of many
Pale when she's near

From ocean to ocean
Her tales are spun
About the queen of the pirates
For in the end she won

We can cry
We can hurt
We can craze
But that's fine
That's okay
Our grades matter more
Then our tears anyways

I seem to be allergic to sleep
Wolves have slain my sheep

Falling into me
You are a butterfly in reverse
Letting go of your wings
And accepting my curse

My kingdoms catch fire
Much to my delight
For shadows are common and leering
On these cold and heartless nights

I have fallen for rhyme
Every word
Every verse
I gladly give away my mind
And welcom in its curse

Getting up is hard
Getting dressed is hard
Looking at people is hard
Getting started is hard
Getting it done is hard
Making food is okay
Eating it is controversial
Talking is hard
Loving is difficult
Laughing, that's good

I am going to hell
I am certainly aware
Maybe I'll send you a postcard,
When I end up there

The pain it creates cannot compare
To the joy she knows that will soon be there
It's worth the scars that will never heal
For just a moment not to feel

Ball and chains
Twisting like snakes
The water is deep
He knew the stakes
Plummeting farther
He starts to drown
Into watery hell
He is impelled down

Salt in eyes
Life swims near
The water, dark and earnest
Airless intentions clear
The sea swallows him
Weights and all
Cold fingers drag
Death fall

Silver plattered chances
A way to start out new
Sweeping ballroom dances
Are all just as impossible as you

I constructed myself a glass box
You can see
But you can't touch

I love to hide in my glass box
It's solid, impermeable
Though it may have become my crutch

I cannot open my glass box
My emotionless prison
My safety is my noose

I don't care if I'm stuck in my glass box
It's now a pandora's chest
And I'm hell ready to let loose

A glass girl
With a clock in her hand
A bomb ticking in her stomach
And they called her bland

One day she will go off
With a bang and a crash
And barrel through lives
And watch us all thrash

The underworld follows me around
Clinging to my skirts
Hugging my legs so I won't leave
Because being alone hurts

Once upon a time
A girl and her demons
Fell in love

It didn't end well

Once upon a time
An flawless little child
Played with fire and blades

She's not so perfect anymore

Once upon a time
That innocent angel
Collapsed in defeat

Her devil knelt down and smiled

I will always keep fighting
I will fight with every breath
Because weaklings can't decide anything
Not even their own death

Apologies for the interuption of your scrolling
But I must inform you of old news
For some reason you have forgotten it
And I am not at all amused
I need to tell you that your beautiful
In a devastating, broken way
The peculiar kind of beautiful
That makes night explode into day

I can't remember who I was
Five impossible seconds ago

She was a wonderful girl
All the writers wrote
She was a wonderful girl
Until she slit her throat
