No name brand
Caught up in unknown lands
Hard as ice and tough as nails
Rarely fighting just to fail

Will I rise or will I fall?
Or maybe just forget it all
Feel the sharp blade of a knife
Fade away this useless life

No name brand
Wishing for a life so bland
Is it worth the pain?
Just to wake again?

Thank you for your plastic
Stupid, ugly, selfish, dramatic
Make me want to scream
Wake myself from this stupid dream

No name brand
I can't stand
The madness of this town
Surely soon this hellish place has to be going down.
This poem is about my hometown, where I am, sadly, currently living in.

I'm finally starting over
Looking back gets me nowhere
I'm finally breaking free
Lock the door and throw the key

Pushing off with all my might
once again, shall I take flight
With no chains to keep me bound
I lose sight of this ominous ground

Perfectly airborne, and what do I see?
A beautiful dove in flight with me
We admire each other on our mutual quest
The peak of the sky is our silent test

We reach the clouds and push further yet
spinning and climbing as a harmonious duet
Among the stars we both ascend
and together we learn the sky has no end

Drifting aimlessly, hand in hand
we are free from the grasp of the oppressive land
With feelings in my heart I'm not sure how to convey
I turn to the beautiful dove and say:

*I left all I had, not sure what to pursue
until I realized, I was just looking for you

— The End —
