She lives a quiet life,
she tiptoes around,
she whispers when she speaks,
she hardly ever makes a sound.

Although her words are quiet,
her mind is very loud.
She has so much to say,
but no one listens for soft sounds.

She's an invisible girl,
who doesn't want to stand out,
she just wants to be heard,
without having to shout.

Sometimes the loudest people,
aren't saying much at all.
Empty words and promises,
just leave their mouths and fall.

But whispered words fly high,
and catch peoples attention,
they're intriguing, so amazing,
but only when they listen.

So look outside the spotlight,
because often the real star,
isn't anyone on stage,
but the mind behind it all.

Tallulah
I’m addicted
To lying with gentlemen
Breathing unrestricted
To surface every now and then

Second amendment rights
Cigarettes & car rides
Away from bright city lights
In the dark society confides

An early morning fire
Pass me a burning ****
Bring me all the higher
Remove societies’ yoke
in every darkness there's a light
a reason to go on, continue to fight
it's always hope that pulls us through
when we paint the world different shades of blue
sometimes bitter words on the soul can leave a stain
but you can't know love if you've never known pain
you never feel whole until you've been broken
by actions of others or words unspoken
there's no balance to life if you've never known regret
and piecing the puzzle together, why try to forget
that every path you've taken has led you here
and it's a choice to live in happiness or fear
never be a victim to your own circumstances
because life is always full of second chances
new beginnings and new days will come
are you standing in the shadows or out in the sun
this moment, love it with your all
you can rise again, after any fall
in every darkness there's a light
a reason to go on, continue to fight

— The End —
