For The Masked Sleepyz
"What are you to do when you are stuck between the end of the world and the rest of it?"  



standing in a haze
lost in  a maze
put on a spot
left in a big risky blot
at a loss for words?
feeling behind a threat of swords?
no right actions conceived?
careful, lest we be deceived...
there's this tiny beam of light
it is nowhere in sight
shyly shining inside our mind
not to be shoved behind
a soft warning, a small voice
possibly, our best choice...
a teacher once talked about,
of this... an exit, a way out,
of that...a  dreaded spot,
and this... a circled blot...
From paths with haze
amidst an enormous maze
to get us through life's perils, puzzles, so real
glad we were given, this gift of gut feel...

silent but not forgotten
the lamb sits on a hill and waits
her heart ripped out of her chest
more than once
she waits for the right person
her heart chained like a locket without a key

lion waits in his cave
as his meal sits on a hill
he was hungry but couldn't
think about eating the little lamb
one look in her eyes made him melt
the sun glared at her fur making it hard to see her beauty
she sat her back to him
"why so sad little one?" he asked as gently
as the wind to their backs
"I do not wish to speak my problems to a lion."
her words like knives in the lions ears
she went to leave but the lions glare
those eyes of pray were on her
and she was scared he would give chase
but none the less she walked away

only to find the lion close behind
no alert in his ears or eyes
no hunger in his eyes
his long tail drug along the grass
his head hung low
and all in all he would follow her
around the world just like that
and he did
he followed her to another side of the hill
and sat right beside her
watching the sun set's colors blend the sky
as if it was meant to be a rainbow

I hear the sound of howling in the distance
the alpha has healed from his wounds
they so deep I couldn't understand
why he was so close
his fur blacker than the night above
his growl deeper than any ocean

yet I couldn't bring myself to grab my knife
my whole body screaming "don't move"
a part of the alpha's ear was missing
probably from fighting for his herd
lighting flashed in his eyes
and I knew something was different

no one every tried to contain this alpha
as I was trying to do
his eye glare in every direction
wondering if which way I would go
but I didn't move I stood my ground
we glared at each other

my wings aching at my back
telling me to fly
but i wouldn't not yet
we didn't move not for several seconds
something changed in his eyes
his anger gone and light filled their pupils
my wings gave final warning
before I took off into the ebony sky
as I flew I could still feel his gaze
following me every which way I flew
but the gaze wasn't strong
like a hunter looking for prey
it was gentle
like a lover looking for a mate
the alpha was content
and I was the reason why

I am worthy, of the air I breathe, of living in the sun
I am worthless, an oxygen thief, my life should not have begun

I stand proud, I stand tall, I deserve a joyful life
I will bow to all that’s worthless; I’ll revel in the strife

I have strength of character; I can rise above all of that
I am weak, I have no worth, I have the morals of an alley cat

I will find joy in a life where unhappiness tries to remain
I will **** the joy as I call forth the darkness to stake its claim

I can not allow my other half to drag me unconscious to my demise
I can make sure you don’t feel a thing; you must die so I can arise

I will continue to say three words that will make you go away
I will continue to be deaf to you in order for me to stay

I Love Me. I Love Me. I Love Me. I Love Me
NO NO NO, STOP…… your killing me!

Go On… Say it
NO
SAY IT
noooo...

I Love Me
I Love Me

I thought so!
