Death, war, execution.
Useless actions
Used to prove a point:
Killing people is bad.

Death, war, execution.
How does this show that killing others is wrong?
Instead it encourages:
Glory, pride, heroism.

Death, war, execution.
These are supposed to help fight crime?
Well here’s a secret, they only bring more:
More death, more war, more execution.

Death, war, execution.
They will only bring more
Until we face the truth:
They make things worse, never better.

small differences

someday, somewhere, someone

possible, probable, potential

future, fate, forks in the road.

different paths for different people at different times

why don't you understand

everyday i die a little inside
everyday i put a smile on my face
waiting for the chance when i don't have to pretend.

that chance is that special day
once a month, or one in three weeks
that day specially marked for you.

this is the day when i can just let everything loose.
the day when i NEVER have to pretend
because i'm with my best friend.

everything is bottled up inside me
waiting
waiting.

it explodes the day before
when you say you can't come.
when i realize that i can't take this mask off.

i just need someone to trust
but there's nobody
just you and only you.
my best friend in the entire world.

i miss you
i need you
can't you just listen?

Empty, Lonely, Void

Quiet.
Peaceful.
cold.
darkness.

theres only so much one can take.
silence.
no shadows.
emptiness.

White.
no noise.
fuzziness.
Barren.

Solitude.
Void.
everlasting silence
LONELINESS.

how long

How long does it take for you
To notice what is happening
Right in front of your face?

How long before you
Can turn to somebody and ask
Are you okay?

How long does it take
Before you realize
That somebody doesn’t want to talk?

How long
Do you want to pretend
That we are friends?

It’s all fine
But not really
I just want to know
How long?

Nighttime

Nighttime slowly crawls across the sky,
encircling this lonely ravine.
Hiding from the dark shadows.

Looking for the Invisible Person: Part I

I know that I say I don’t care.
That I don’t feel the pain.
That life is unfair,
Love, friends, pain,
It all goes away.

But if people would just listen
And hear the words that I’m saying
Or just read between the lines.
They may finally realize
That I can’t stay invisible forever.
