Maze

Life is a maze.
Life is a phase
Life is a craze.
Life decays
Life can amaze
Life can be full of clichés
Life filled with schooldays, holidays, long delays.
Life is a labyrinth, with a Minotaur in the shades
Life is full of constraints
So leave the maze, untangle your hair and meet me in a different cabaret, I'll be there
I'll show you how life is just one big malaise, we need to fill the maze with a blaze of glory.
After all life is a story. The ending the same, we all die, but in between, we runaways from the maze can drop the chains and create our own tales of the maze.
*And those tales can be quite amazing!

This is dedicated to a young poetess that I feel a kindred spirit to.
Life is a maze, together we can find the exit to a happier place and be called survivors.

the Fire

She was girl with the world on her fingertips
yet she didn't know couldn't see how it could end
No hope
she was hopeless even though
she could make it
She was put down
for being loud and proud
She was let down
by everyone around her
But she didn't see
her fire
She was put down
left out
broken down
She was a girl with nothing but the beating heart in her chest
yet she loved everyone and spread her joyfulness
Smiling wide trying to forget her past
She tried to make through and pass her test
She was worth it
thinking she was
Worthless
and she was amazing
But she didnt see
her fire
She was put down
She was left out
She was broken down
Tried to please
tried to be
everything but who she was
she disapeared
left from here
all because she couldnt see
her fire

Anger

Anger is like the headlights of an incoming truck. It's blinding, and you'll never realize you were on the wrong side of the road until the moment of impact.

Nameless

Patient 003

Grasping onto the person’s throat
Choking the very life out of them
A smile cross’s this face of mine
Their very last breath of air escapes

As the grip dissipates, it fades
Taking the knife and continuing
Stabbing over and over again

The blood splatters everywhere
The smile returns with each stab
This feeling of joy is indescribably

Pity on those that will never know
This feeling of not pain but, joy
Squeezing the last breath out

Constantly called insane but,
Am merely misunderstood by all
Being born into a world of pain
Always tormented without reason

Beaten, bruised, and bloodied
No remorse was given, why though
Why is everyone else treated different

Suffering is known quite well
The military cause’s it and it’s okay
But, when people like I cause it,

We get locked up for life
Tortured even more by these people
And we’re the ones called monsters
(Ghost9er)

what would a world be
without defined beauty
as media defines it
how would that come to be?

every baby on earth
has worth
beauty
how it should be
but nobody knows
what beauty means
you don't see it in a mirror
though your mirror is you
that's beauty to
you see it in a dream

in the darkest of worlds
she stands up tall
in each and every fairy tale
she is fairest of them all

you see beauty in a pure heart
every night going to bed knowing you've play'd your part
and she has
i'm proud to be me
"i don't want you to stand up for me
i want you to stand beside me"
Lizzie Velasquez

i'm with you Lizzie

It's easy to persuade the mind
But the heart is forever

I don't want to

And I'm on my own again
Lord knows how long it's been
Guess I'll keep on hangin' on
To what's already gone

Only thing Ive learned how to do,
Is live without you

But I don't want to.
I don't want to.

Special

He came home yet again
Heart beating out if his chest
"i did it again mom
But I swear I did my best"
three days earlier
The counselor says I'm special
Is that really true
Because mom
If I'm special
Then why aren't you?
The kids still don't understand
How special I really am
I'll show them my super powers
I just need a good plan
two days
"They're not really your friends
They're just trying to trick you"
"Why can't you just let me have friends?
That's what a good mom would do"
two hours later on that some day
teary eyed
While they laugh
At how "special"
They found out he was today
"I'll show you my super powers"
He said while they laughed him away.
the full story
I came to show you my super powers!
"Yeah right ******, go away"
And out of his pocket cam a knife
"Don't worry.
I'll bring you back today.
Abracadabra"
The little boy said
Thinking he would prove them right
But his body wasn't moving
" I can recharge, and he'll come back
right?
So he cam home yet again
Heart beating out of his chest
"i did it again mom
But I swear I did my best"
With tears running down his moms eyes
"this is the last time I can repeat"
"But mom we can get through it
I'm special
Don't you see?"

Whatever it takes.

We're a generation
of bad habits
and hypocrites
that'll do whatever
it takes to be happy;
whatever it takes
to supposedly
remain free.

         Because
         the truth is;
                we're all addicted
                 to something.

And   we     let       it       get
       the    best    of      us

don't feel

don't talk about it
it's not real
it's not there
it's in your head
they're trying to get to you
they want your life
they want you to care
but it's not right

because sticks and stones may break your bones
but a thought can destroy a nation
don't feel for them
don't talk to them
because they won't feel for you
in the end
they'll tell you anything
to get under your skin
then when your at the bottom
you'll trust them again
don't give in
don't let them win
because they won't do the same in the end

don't think
don't speak
don't feel
because in the end

**nothing they say will be real

love

I feel like I am nothing
Whenever he starts bluffing
He plays with my heart like it's a game
I hope he will came back but it won't be the same
For my trust has already been broken
Painful words have already been spoken
I tell everyone your nothing
But the truth is your everything
To me you are my heart and soul
But all along you were just playing a role
I have to let you go
But what's worse you will never know
all the pain you shamelessly dealt to me
But I'm forced to let it be.

mother are you there?

mother are you there?
i don't want to be alone
mother can you make it
all the way back home?

what happened on that day
the day you went away
the day you looked into my eyes
and said "i won't be back today"

what did daddy say
to make you say that to me?
what did daddy do
to make you do that to me?

i heard you fighting
again
like i never heard you before
it sounded like a bat
and then daddy slam'd the door

"what happened to your shirt"
i said though i already knew
the look in his eye
was deadly
so i went up to my room

crying in my pillow
i didn't want him to know
i felt your hand on my shoulder
it felt like i was home

mother are you with me?
mother are you there?
daddy's really angry
i'm starting to get scared

mother can you hear me
all the way up there?
in the heaven that you talked about
are you happy up there?
