Dark disasters and pointless pain
Illusions bitten for no gain
Take a risk, take a fall
Follow the ones who do it all

Herds like sheep, follow true
Bask in these secrets simply subdue
Bury it deeper in the ground, not who you are
Not who you’ll be; you are now from afar

Hands grab the mind; call them stress
Those illusive peers they start to press
Molded like clay and distorted in guilt
A castle of lies that was built

Walked a road through thorns
Near the end, quicken your pace, your feet warn
Don’t trip up now, you’ve come too far
And those memories? They weren’t all so hard

Light shines brightest in the dark
And if it weren’t for fear there’d be no spark
You’ll keep going, stronger than the past
Time moves fast so make it last.

It’s hard to say I can look into your eyes
Can’t turn away, I see me
In them in you
I’m the sun, you’re my moon

A deep lake, succumbed by silence
Rippling across distorted in waves
There I find you
I’m the sun, you’re my moon


Roses, soft, grow by me
Fed by a stream, the soul
Flowing in you
I’m the sun, you’re my moon

Shatter edges of glass under pressure
Like the shoreline itself
That tide is you
I’m the sun, you’re my moon

Never to meet, cycling, once in a lifetime perhaps*
Who’s to overshadow?*
Less often it’s you
I’m the sun, you’re my moon.

today I will unleash my inner self to my class
read a few poems
and hear them clap

I have a storm of butterflies in my chest
of what they may think
am I too deep?
what will they think?
the nerves shoot through my spine
Mom says I'll be alright

as long as I stay true to me
it doesn't matter what my peers think!

I need a remedy
a remedy for insecurity
some magical potion
that will act as a lotion for that unbearable
world in front of me
what caused this
who  knows
how to end it
I want to know
please
I beg of you
my friends
dear friends
is there a trick
a miracle
handbook
that has all of the answers
cause that would be great
or is the answer somewhere closer
within reach
or maybe is the answer
not very far apart
but maybe in my heart?....
