Something different
Something full of potential
Something unlike anything other
Something determined
Something strong

Flying through the sky,
Singing a soulless song.

Above the doubt of the world
Above the worries and pain
No more sadness and sorrow
That will wait for another day

Voice ringing,
Painting a tune,
Upon a azure sky.

Alone
Considering life
Had I followed the flock
Yet I regret nothing
I stand alone

Shining
I shine among the stars
Among the planets
Among the sun, the moon
I shine

Rising
Above the others
To a better future
To a better life
Rising above all the stars in the sky
*I rise

I wonder,
Why had he cared
When I hadn't eaten my food?

I wonder,
Why had he cared
When others made fun of me?

I wonder,
Why had he cared
When I was unusually quiet?

I wonder,
Why had he cared
When no one else had bothered to listen?

I wonder,
Why had he cared
When I cried?

I wonder,
Why had he been the only boy
To truly understand?

Heart pounding,
sweat drips down your face.

Screams ring,
filling your ears.

Footsteps pound,
against the cold sidewalk.

A knife,
shines in the moonlight.

Blood pours,
as you gasp for air.

You awake,
for it was only a bad dream.

He fought the demons,
but he lost.
He found his way,
into the darkness.
He feared the outcome,
trying to get help.
He was pulled back,
into the dangerous world.
He lay still,
a fatal accident.

I wish nothing more
than to feel something,
anything, really.
Whether it be sorrow,
sinking in my stomach.
Or anger and rage,
my blood boiling.
Perhaps nervousness,
shaky hands and sweaty palms.
Even fear,
my heart beating rapidly.
Why not disgust,
how wrong and twisted.
Surprise me,
oh how unexpected.
Anticipation,
I really cannot wait.
Maybe even joy,
though I doubt such happiness
will fall upon me.

I wake up and look in the mirror,
To see the real me.

But that simply won't do for today,
So I plaster a fake smile onto my face.
