Headstrong
Niko Apr 2017
Dark thoughts come flying in like a storm.
The way the wind takes me away.
The way the lightning paralyzes me.
I watch the darkness crawl into my arms,
knowing that they're only here to bring harm.
I wish I can go back to my happiest days,
when I never felt pain or darkness haunt my dreams or my soul.

Where are the stars that used to guide me?
They used to shine through my eyes,
telling me that I'm never alone.
They seem to move on, forgotten me.

I overthink too much,
that it's the end.
I don't know why I let it dig into me.
Small things become big things.
I always hoped that one day someone will embrace me into their loving arms.
Understand every dark thought coursing through my mind.
Feel my heart through their ears.
Face the reality that I'm not perfect.

I'm not a robot built through metal.
I sometimes bottle up myself,
I sometimes smile like I'm okay, but sometimes I'm not.
I can feel weak, but I know I'm strong.
I fought through the storm before,
I know what it feels like to want to give up.
It's such a strong urge, but I don't give in.

Because I have people counting on me, looking up at me, admire me of who I am.
I'm a good person for helping others.
I let them know that their not alone,
They let me know that I'm not alone.
Sticks and stones won't break our bones.
We are headstrong!

Watching Over You
Niko Feb 2017
I see you there,
where you crawl up and give up.
Your burning tears on your cheeks,
Your desperate battle cry,
I see you wanting to reach high in the sky,
and drying your tears from your eyes.

Don't worry, don't hide and throw away the bitterness from your soul.
Fight, never give up.
Live up to your dreams.
Because I'll be watching over you.

Please don't feel blue,
because I know you can break through.
You can do it,
you have the spirit.

The Guitar Effect
Niko Jan 2017
The guitar makes my heart sing in melody,
giving me a remedy of specialty.
Somehow it calls to me desperately,
telling me endlessly its my destiny.

The guitar and I have chemistry,
Somehow the guitar is a legacy.
The music of the guitar makes me breathless,
making me feel weightless.

I feel light-headed to be exact,
its making me relaxed.
This attraction,
this passion,
Its electrifying.
Its what I dreamed for, for so long.

A Blazing Star
Niko Apr 2016
Don't take that defeat.

I can feel your heart beat.

Dancing to the beat.

You're strong.

You ain't wrong,

this battle is too long.

You gotta stay headstrong.

You can't fall into the dark,

so feel that spark,

fight the battle scars.

Set your sights in the stars.

You shine brighter than a diamond.

It's time.

Show them who you really are.

A Blazing Star

Unnecessary Thoughts
Niko Jan 2018
I can feel anxiety crawling into my mind, feeding me with unnecessary thoughts.
Self-doubt reaches out for my soul; fear smiles at me as I quivered my lips.
My trembling hands strike down on the concrete, and my head spins.
I slowly shut my eyes, hoping my demons would leave me.
But they persist, making me feel like I have to plea for peace.

I grasp my reality behind a mirror and watch the clock unwind.
I hear the faded children laugh, it echoes through my mind, and I feel the fear within my heart.
I wish my thoughts were sane, so they didn't fall like rain.

When I look ahead of the storm, I see a generation full of demons.
Darkness may rule the world, but I kept holding on.
With every battle I withstand, I fear the shadows will bind my heart and take my breath away.
But somehow, my spirit will never give in.

Words of a Silver Tongue
Niko Feb 2017
He watched her red rosy lips move when she talks,
Beautiful words were coming out her mouth.
Like a silver tongue.

Falling for her in every word.
Her blue eyes were like oceans he can swim into.
The fool was in love with a woman,
who had a silver tongue.
Her blonde silky hair brought the sunshine to his eyes.

She broke him down and walked away.
And the man in love learned to never fall for a woman who had a silver tongue.

Words of a Silver tongue brought darkness to his eyes.
But now he knows that she lied.
And to never fall for her again.

Release Me
Niko Feb 2017
Release me from this disease.
I don't want to freeze.
I fall on to my knees
Feeling the breeze.

I'm at unease.
I don't want to die alone,
and turn to stone.
You know?
I can't go, on my own.

I've grown weak.
I ain't unique.
I been living on for weeks.
I don't know what I seek.

I feel so sore,
I fall to the floor.
When is this war over?
I don't want it anymore.

I'm in a trap door,
what a bore.
Before, I had a score.
I knew what I was looking for.

A dream that fired up like a hot steam.
I had a purpose.
I rose to the surface.
I felt nervous.
I was never worthless.
I never closed the curtains.

So please release me from this disease.
So I can go on,
and achieve my dream.

Words on the Wall
Niko Feb 2017
Please don't leave me.
Can't you see?
The words on the wall.

When I take the fall,
I reveal my true words in blood.
The words I spoke were lies.
I had to hide the pain.
I didn't want to reveal my broken heart.

I wrote words on the wall.
To let go of my deepest thoughts,
I fought a lot.

So never forget the words on the wall,
and remember why I told you to never leave.

War
Niko Apr 2016
War
Peace maybe with us,

but there will be always a shadow hanging over us.

That they want to corrupt our dreams if they must.

We all are different that people are afraid of us.

When I opened the door, I saw a war.

My eyes became sore.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I watched people dieing with my own eyes.

I believed in lies.

The lie that war will never happen.

I tried to hide.

But they found me.

I look and see,

I'm trembling in fear.

I feel like I'm breaking down,

with tears.

Why am I in this war?

What did I do to deserve this pain?

This is insane.

I can't complain,

because I was dragged into this war.

I have no choice but to fight and sacrifice my life.

I don't know why I was fighting.

I wanted to run,

and see the sun.

All day, I seen dark black clouds loom over me with rain.

Now, I'm ******* in chains.

Not knowing what happened out there.

Then suddenly, I felt pain.

I was killed with a shoutgun to my head,

and I never got to say my last words.

But, my last thoughts were,

"War is inevitable, you can't do anything to stop it"

Reality
Niko May 2016
Reality likes to take away my happiness.

It drags me down to the dirt,

Like a monster that lurks,

my nightmares.

I cannot bare,

the pain that is coursing through my veins.

But once I put my headphones on,

I left reality alone.

The music burst in my ears,

taking away my misery.

I rise to my victory.

I ignored my sorrows and,

let the music take over me.

But once I awoke from my dreams,

everything was gone.

It was dawn,

I was the last one standing.

There was no one,

only me.

I was the only one,

looking down at the corpses.

I realized that I missed things in life.

I realized that I was alone.

Now I learned that,

I can't run away from reality.

It always remains in me,

and I have to create my own reality.

So I can never see the world in ashes,

with corpses again.

I can make the world, my world.

Where I can make everything anew and,

be happy for the rest of my life.

Fire in the Sky
Niko Apr 2016
The fear within us,

we always rush.

We run away without facing it.

We are afraid to do mistakes again,

its insane.

We can't blame ourselves.

We just do it without realizing it.

That's ok.

We are human,

we make mistakes.

We are not perfect,

we are a mess.

And thats why there's fire in the sky.

The fire may burn us but,

we keep looking above.

And we keep looking at the sky.

Why?

We have a long journey ahead of us.

Its just the beginning.

— The End —
