anger is a fierce lion
he gets hungry
best stay out his way
the eternal put on hold and listen to music you despise, and then..get cut off

Tell me there's a chance;
That elation hasn't eluded us
That love in its purest form
Dwells united in our soul

Tell me we are what we seem
More than any other
We are Stardust and the semblance of time
For it ceases to exist in our reality

Tell me the joy in our hearts
Is fated through eternity
That we are who we have always been
Forever, we will share one heart

The Emerald Outcast
Little by little
I come no closer to understanding
Why I long for closeness
(An introvert like me)

My friends might deny it
But I know
Why the dogs don't tug on their leashes
And why I never wave hello to their owners

There are moments when
I am reminded of a stranger saying
"It's difficult, huh?
Having a sister that's an extrovert?"

In the middle of the night I wake up thinking
"No, but what's difficult
Is wanting to be the best friend I can be
(An introvert like me)"
I used to be totally at ease with being an introvert (unaware of it, even) until I realized social success comes to people who are outgoing, and that's when I craned my neck to see if the grass really WAS greener on the other side. Guess what? It was.

Fiery
Furies,
Lapping
At the base
Of the door.

Whisper
Cloyingly sweet,
"Let me in..."

OH!!
If only
To rapture.

to still be travelling when in fact ****** you do not go anywhere
is one of the greatest comforts a mind can experience

I hope you miss me
The way I miss you

But I also hope you don't
Because I am miserable
And you deserve more
This is silly but I don't care sorry

The street lights streak by as though I'm on an acid trip.
They become rainbows of colors as I'm racing to escape.
Escape what I do not know.
I just feel the urge to run and hide, even from my shadow.
Ignored I have been, so miss me not will they.
Though I have been there for them, a heroine, their dragons I've slayed.
Words of encouragement over and over I gave.
Nothing in return, ignored me have they.
I do not crave a thank you or such.
I do not care for exploitation that much. But to be ignored is something I can't stand.
When I have given my all, my whole world into their hands.
So miss they will not as I run into oblivion. Hide I will till I can place them in my position.
Revenge is a dish best served cold....

The last few weeks I've just needed my friends. I never ask, but I have lately. Always there for them,  but now I know...I am truly on my own.

Am I real, today?
Hovering somewhere between
the darkness and the light
like a spirit
or a dream
I feel the vibrations
of a thousand
heart beats.
You felt it, too.
And if the heavens tremble,
locked in an invisible struggle
So must we.
The rain was real
but it's gone
now.
And knowing
that you and I and he
all felt the same void
last night in our dreams
suddenly
makes it all seem
less lonely.

My desires
How I had to defy her
All of my priors
More so all of the liars
The sound of the choir
Life, in it's entire
The love that I require
The sound of gunfire
Always being in the line of fire
Fearing the ball of fire
Trying to figure out all of the secrets
The treatments
My weakness
Bleakness
People's sleekness
All of my fears
Thinking about all the past years
And what caused all of my tears
And
What will appear
That might cause my love to disappear
The thinking of my peers and their smears
Death
When will I take my last breath
What keeps me up at night
My fears of
"ME"
!!
