Unknown Feb 2014
Were my tears made of money
Would they catch your eye then?
Were my words made of silk
Would you listen to them?

If I took to the air
Would you notice my wings?
If I offered my voice
Would you wish that I sing?

If I lent you my hand
Would you notice the scars?
If I shone ever bright
Would you call me a star?

If I fell to the ground
Would you help me to stand?
If I told you I cared
Would you then understand?

A four year old child
And growing so fast
Conceived from a wild
Relationship past

His mother a girl
Of only sixteen
Placed into this world
By alcohols dream

A man is his father
Of around thirty three
The girl? The mans daughter
They share the same genes

Conception absurd
Illegally bound
A four letter word
A bitter sound
Unknown Feb 2014
When it all comes down to anger
You can no longer hide your pain
When your voice is like a stranger
And it's driving you insane
When your happiness is thinning
Getting thinner every day
And your nightmares haunt your vision
Even when you are awake
When you've searched your mind for answers
But only see what you've been through
This depression is a cancer
And there's one thing you can do

(CHORUS)
Just lay down
Unleash those tears
Just lay down
Release those fears
Look back
At all those years
Lay back
The end is near

(VERSE TWO)
Never question if you're worth it
Never ask if you belong
Never wonder if your perfect
Never mattered all along
For every light there is a shadow
There's a crack in every wall
There's a **** in every meadow
There's no need to hold it all
Free your mind of all it's demons
It will help you in the end
We all wrote this for a reason
It's a lesson from a friend

(NEW CHORUS)
Smile now
From ear to ear
Try now
To reappear
It's fine now
The end is here
Just lay down
Your dreams are clear

Hey dream weaver
Can you weave me a dream?
Can you make me a believer?
Can you sew these torn seams?

Can you replace my mind?
Make softer my bed?
Leave nightmares behind?
Shed light in my head?

Can you take me from here
Place me in a new world
Where the leaves of my fear
Stay withered and curled?

Where the winds of oppression
Are lost in the skies
And I sleep never guessing
As I shut tight my eyes
Unknown Feb 2014
Always she shivered
Against induced winds
Always so bitter
Always so thin

Her hobby; a sliver
It stuck in her skin
But once it delivered
She let her head spin

She poisoned her grace
With the oceans of shame
Unwilling to face
The girl she became

She filled empty space
Was no longer sane
The road that she paced
Became her own bane

Her name was October
She had hazel eyes
Her expression was sober
But was it disguise?

Over and over
She took to the skies
Her habits controlled her
Led her to demise
Unknown Feb 2014
Lust to the brink of insanity
Paying no heed to your vanity
A drink to the lips
A swing of the hips
Waiting is just a calamity

Fingertips warming your skin
Exciting those feelings within
Lay back on the bed
Let desires be fed
Is your head yet beginning to spin?
Unknown Feb 2014
I'm a genuine poet
Some flaws here and there
To my parents I owe it
How I wish they could care

There is pain and I show it
Hide it I wouldn't dare
It will **** me I know it
It is lurking somewhere

Inner light I must grow it
I will embrace the glare
I am no longer stoic
I am no longer scared
