monsters come in many shapes

some are cuddly
some truly terrible
   bad-blooded beasts
   and look it
others hide their monstrosity
   behind a cordial facade

the most dangerous kind
that makes you like them
only to discover
   at some crucial point in time
how monstrous they really are
how in cold blood
they do their monstrous deeds

and you forget
that monstrosity
   like madness
may be a different kind
of communication

             * *

We're only people
Misunderstood
Fighting to be heard
When we should just realize
Underlying
We are all the same

Fighting about fighting
Everyone loses
If there is a God
That God would never
Encourage violence
Doesn't make any ****** sense

It's about love
It starts with our children
Telling them
To welcome their neighbor
With open arms
To share culture,
Not abhor it

To tell them
Because someone is different
Don't judge them
Don't hate them
Get to know them
They probably have something to teach you

The world is a crazy place
Always has been
But now, because of the internet
We know about it

It's okay that we're all different
But we (not the extreme people) want the same things
A safe place to sleep
Somewhere to go home to
A future for our children

If you are a person that isn't extreme
It's time now, to speak up
Let others know
(Especially anyone extreme)
That the rest of us have a voice too

**** the hate
Don't be afraid to debate

Then he
Then he
Who could love you better then me
Break the chains on your heart
And set it free
I can see it in your face
The contemplation  
How much you're afraid
Of trusting me
A second chance is all I need
Then he
Then he
Who can love you better then me
Give me the keys
To the doorways you closed
I can love you better then he
Feelings were blind
But over time your love helped me see
Why is it so hard to grasp the concept of my love
If you don't think I can love you better  then he
I hope you find someone who can love you better then me

I see in front of me                                                                                                       A little glimpse of hope ...                                                                                            I try to cling to it,but                                                                                                   Those ugly stumbling-blocks                                                                                    Hinder me greatly ...                                                                                                   I attempt a few time to overcome                                                                             Those ugly hindrances ,but                                                                                        All in vain ...                                                                                                                finally a big light emerges from                                                                                   Inside that tunnel of hope waving for me                                                            To come forward ...                                                                                        _________________

I would've told you that love at first sight
Was just a bad joke for me to laugh at
But it was a disease that infected me
Your hello was full of love
And it cornered me
Wrapped my in its grip
Unwilling to let go
Your hello was full of joy
And it filled me with happiness
I only laughed when you were around
Your hello was magical
All I could see in my future was you
But now that your gone
Your hello has become a curse
There's still a remnant of you
You had me at hello
Until you said goodbye

Am I drowning? The void of my soul fills
with water as I dive deeper in order
to escape this calm catastrophe
called "living".

Where do I go next? The city lights I
see through the murky haze, hallucinating
in my final breaths. Seeing the stars of
Atlantis, the long lost beauty.
Seeing the scars of myself, the long lost
calamity.

Was I ever beautiful, or did I
become so skilled in the art of pretending,
my art of hiding, that even the best
critics couldn't find me behind these canvas
walls?

Mermaids bearing blades pierce my canvas heart,
its surface painted by countless sorrows.
Blood swirling around me, closing my eyes
as I die in a painting - the girl who
sank her own city.

The beginning is sweet like cake
They're all you want to see
Kisses melt on each other like chocolate
Left in your pocket
Hugs a simulation of baked cookies
But this honeymoon stage just a phase
And after its reach its last days
You dug yourself in a grave
Because of the Expectations and misconceptions of how it would be
But it's just an illusion  
You weren't expecting days to be grey right away
What use to be cute
You don't want to see
Wanted them always by your side
Now you can't stand there company
Butterflies in your stomach
Has moved on for the season
Who knows the reason
That this honeymoon stage gives way

For all the things I've done
She was probably the one I hurt most
With words like daggers
And still I stagger from what I did

I'll internalize this shame
Metabolize in vain
You see my brain won't let me see another day
Without remembering
And all I do is pray you're happy

A skeleton structurally unsound
Every bone vibrating with
The echoes of *goodbye

So what should I do?
-Forget about her she's to good for you
I can't stop thinking of her
-Thought you hated thinking of the past
I do
-The past is the past she's apart of it to
I know, I hear what your saying but it's something that's hard to do.
-Just move on
It's not that simple.
-I know you love her but she no longer loves you
What about a second chance.
-Shouldn't have ******* up the first
Well ***** you.
-Well you asked for advice so I'm advising you
You not very good at it.
-I'm just telling you what you need to hear
Guess it's what I get for talking to the voice in my head
-Do is both a favor, forget about her she's forgotten about you

Love tossed you out in the cold
Now you can no longer feel your toes
The color has left your finger
They're no longer useful anymore
You use to love winter
It's the season love introduced herself to you
You two played in the snow until your nose was blue
But when the snow storm came through
When the wind was the coldest
And the snow stung your face
That's when she abandoned you
Took the warmth she brought
Without her
Your just an empty shell
For the cold to just seep into
Love has treated you so coldly
But hypothermia with comfort you

dreams of April
turn into snow

swirling in the wind
under a leaden sky

growing dark
with lost memories

Can be amazing
Then drive you crazy
It can be the rope that snapped
That once held you to the Clift
Love can be the one blocking the blows
But the one throwing the fist
It's the life guard that saves you
After it tried to drown you  
When you were lost
It was the one searching for you
And it found you
Forever your in its grip
When it's not around
You'll do anything to feel it again
A cure after its poisoned you
This thing call love
Is the bandage after it hurt you
