Nobody cares for a reject
The ones who break the mould
Only accepted by each other
Conformity seems to be true
The only way they smiled

But that will change
Difference will be welcomed
Try as they may
The clones will disappear
We shall be at peace

In order to make that happen
We have to stand up
Come together against the march
Gain our rightful place
And crack the mannequins open

A steady thunder
Man made and strong
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four

The quiet rain
Sprinkling softly
Bells jingling
In time with the rest

The lightning cuts through
Piercing the rhythm
Beautiful and pure
A melodious contrast

Earth below our feet
Sky above our heads
With the flames between us
We will dance until dawn

Dark purple bruises
They cover my arms
Bright red scratches
Leave my legs shaking
I cannot do anything
So helpless, so alone
I can never be right
Every step another mistake
No one can find out
That will make it worse
So what do you do
When the ones who gave you life
Are the ones taking it away
All I can do is lay here
Silently screaming for salvation
Andrew T Hannah Apr 2013
Mother Earth and Father Sun
Brothers and sisters
All around us
The creatures of the world

Bond together around crimson fire
Dreaming, Sleeping
Guarded carefully
By the moon and stars

Together we live
Together we die
We are one with the spirits
The nature and the sky

Softly flowing
Soaring higher
Carried on the gentlest breeze

Pale pink shade
Smooth as silk
Slowly falling from the trees

Gently blowing
Round and round
Twirling, swirling to and fro

Just in spring
With sunlights touch
Will cherry blossoms grow

It's too bright and too hot
But that doesn't matter now
My hand closes around cold metal
My breathing echoes in it
So familiar to me now
I scream the words they want to hear
"Are you ready?"
Through the dance routines
And hundreds of lyrics
I become tired
Backstage I grab the water
Have a look in the mirror
The one who was blessed
The one who got lucky
What I'm doing is worth the harsh words
Worth the exhaustion
All that matters in the end
Is the rush of adrenaline
And the cheer of the crowd
Andrew T Hannah Apr 2013
The first thing I feel is warmth
A calm breeze blowing
And the feeling of being renewed

Then a blazing heat rises
Almost unbearable
Burning me, parching my throat

Another change to cooler temperature
Chilly winds blow
Dry leaves whip my face

Then all is frozen
Too cold to sustain life
The world becomes white

Endlessly spinning
Birth, death and rebirth
The earth forever caught in a cyclone
