Can you hear me?
Ill ask that question every time
Can you hear me?
Im still here
Asking you questions
Wondering if somethings up there
Some being
But being is too human
Some incredible energy
Shaping the stars
And blowing the universe away
Each and every day
Can you hear me?
Because im still here
Begging you
For some sort of boon
Some relief
I need you
I need to know im not alone
That its gonna be okay
Are you you?
Are you me?
Just us waiting to see?
Waiting to be
Can you hear me?
Calling in the night
Calling from my dreams
Breaking at my seams
Im so frustrated right now
And im not looking for a god
A father
A figure
Im not looking for anyone
Anyone but you
An ancient state of life
Something so deep and old
Older than the earth
Than the stars
I need you
I am just a child
Looking outwards upon your great expanse
As I forever will be
But more than I ever have
Now is when I need you
Can you hear me?

The world belongs to no one
And theres is nothing we can do
To change that fact
The world will keep going
The earth will change
Grass will grow
Water will rise
And water will low
The world belongs to no one
None at all can say
That they have it in their palm
For the world has they
Nature does not care
Because nature will keep going
With
Or without us
Nature will keep going
Because the world belongs to no one

Imagine
Someone who can see
The stars in his room
Anywhere he wanted
Or didn't
The stars follow him
Imagine
Someone who's so exhausted
But the lights wont relent
And the world is bent
Every moment
Bursting with energy
New thoughts and ideas
Each one a star
That follows him
Screaming
Because they wish to be free
Free from his gravity
From this dark aura
That surrounds his every word
Coats his every gaze
At night he cries
How badly he wants to set his creations free
How badly he wants them to see
The world unfiltered
He wishes everyone could see
These beautiful little lights
That feel all he does
For now, it will only be him
Him and his stars

Young Lion Heart
Nothing without your words
So boldly you speak
If you lost it all
What would you be?
No more prodigy
No more cacophony
Of claps and shouts
Just you and your silence
Maybe one day you'll choose that
And see who comes
To hear the mute poet
Acting out his words
Ridiculous
Young Lion Heart
You shine so bright
Can you even see
The darkness that presides in you?
Talking to yourself
Pathetic
You're too confident
Lower your voice
No more words
Just quiet
Just quit
Falling
Would be so much easier

I was once nothing
But no one saw me
Become something
So being that something
Means absolutely nothing
Just another nothing
Waiting for something
To happen to them
But its already happened
So I
Feel
Nothing.

I see the world so differently
Than anyone else
I see the things I was told
The earth so bold
Bright
Beautiful
I see it all so differently
All the interconnected things
The colors and shapes
The reflection on the lakes
This vision I hold
Only I can see
Let me paint a picture with my words
Ill start with a background
A deep black and blue
Water is dark at its core
Next comes the red
A violent sunrise
The world hums
As something new is realized
Then theres the scarlet
Scattered on the canvas
Drops of life
Uneven with nature
After its green
Green touching everything
Growing and changing
Shifting shades with seasonss
There it is
A painting only I can see
Only I can know only I could be
The artist
That would be me

People like me
I feel wanted
But at the same time
Nothing could matter less
And nothing could matter more
Nothing could matter more
Than the bitter need
To be wanted
To want
To give
So much frustration
Tension
A depressed conglomeration
Of hormones and talent
Stuffed into anxiety
With a side of want
But that want
It looks so big on the plate
It makes things seem all over the place
Nothing seems
Set
I cant get a grip
On what I need to think about
Theres so much on this plate
I cant even bother with the next thing
The next trial
The next sleepless night
The next missing light
Or keys
Or i lost my wallet
I dont know how long i can do it
Maybe it'll all come crashing down
And ill just sleep
Forever.
