Being born after 2001 I never understood.
I heard about it and stayed quiet during the moment of silence in school,
but never once did someone really explain to me the tragedy.
11 years of school later, and it's the same routine.
We Stand, We Pledge, We Wait, We Sit.
This year it was different.
I did the research and looked at the pictures.
I heard the desperate phone calls and horrified screams.
I asked questions .
I finally understood.
And with all the lost lives and sacrifices,
its worth being silent for.

Rain

Appreciate the Rain
It's subtle beauty is hidden by the sky,
tinted by the grey of storms with a saddened reputation.

my dear

I miss you.

I lose a piece of me every day.

I lose the half of you that I wanted to keep.

And slowly you fade

Not by choice

But you fade ... and it breaks me.

You

I love your eyes,
the way those colors constantly collide
like the Caribbean sea and a sun setting sky.
A perfect combination to which I fell in love,
I swear you were sent from heaven
you're my blessing from above
and i'd die for those lips of yours,
they make my knees grow weak
with each simple kiss and perfect smile,
I lose all ability to speak.
You have some effect on me
as crazy as it seems
I love everything about you
every last little thing

I love every last thing about you.

Haunted By My Own

unspoken words still haunt me
and escape they never will
the scorching pain that evades me
is a sign sort of telltale
its like feeling on the edge
knowing you're about to fall
but you can't do anything about it
not the slightest thing at all
if I did i'd hurt someone else
and that's something I refuse to do
i'll sacrifice myself until these unspoken words subdue.

More than A Bad Mood

I woke up with a streak of hate,
it's running through my veins.
Everywhere I look
I'm blaming people for my pain.
Its pressure on my chest
refraining me from saying what I want to say
All I want right now
Is isolation through the day.

listen to my pleads

my heart is on fire
my mind is stuck on spin
my thoughts won't stop repeating
and i'm keeping it all in
I question your intentions
as 'pure' as they may be
I can't stop myself from wondering
if you plan on hurting me..
