The North Star Mar 2015
im not having the best of days
the universe is out to get me
I don't know what ive done wrong, there must be
a reason why I feel shackled, in a haze

weights on my shoulder refusing to relieve
seven days of thorough torment
my life is my own enemy, disbursing enjoyment
of such pain, desperate need of a reprieve

I cried today, internally though
my face mimicked, like a duck
calm on the surface
frantic beneath

i think i needed it though
not entirely certain
its time to close this curtain
before  emotions overflow
The North Star Jan 2015
I was just about to tell you
but I was too late
left my heart out in the open
now it's all **crushed
The North Star Dec 2014
Don't lie to me
you're not helping anyone
this isn't the person you're supposed to be
what am I to believe while you lead me on - am I the first one?

Cease your aimless performances
Clear-out this alluring façade

Don't leave me a shell of what once was
I beg of you, don't let this chance pass by
cross your heart
hope to die
The North Star Dec 2014
I gaze upon the broken rose
pulling petals
finding joy
in little things
The North Star Nov 2014
I used to be sad
you gave me joy

I used to be fickle
you made me firm

I used to be scared
you made me brave

I used to be shy
you made me sing

I once was invisible
Now you see me

I never thought I could change
Until you met me.
The North Star Oct 2014
If I dug a single seed into the ground
I hope it grows, grows...

In a year or two, if you're around
you'll see a rose, rose...
The North Star Oct 2014
Behind this façade of cheer and bliss
lies the gloom and dejection within
in a void of emotions
you'll find my joy has run thin

deep within the mirror...
lies a portrait of me
deep within the mirror...
I don't like what I see.
