You called me beautiful
said it was the only word
that could ever describe me.

You called me beautiful
And told me I was the reason
you got up every morning.

You called me beautiful
to make me stop crying
it worked for a while.

You called me beautiful
so I would open the door
and stop hiding from you.

You called me beautiful
so I wouldn't tell others
what you did.

You called me beautiful
even though I had bruises
and scars.

You called me beautiful
even though you were angry
because I wasnt sober anymore

You called me beautiful
but only in front of our friends
so they wouldn't worry about me.

You called me beautiful
so I would stay with you
I had to stay

You called me beautiful
until one day
then you didnt say anything.

To the boy who ******

a place to call home

a place to call home

house.
dormitory.
lodge.
apartment.
duplex.
hotel.

all places to call home.

none of these feel like a home to me.

my home is wherever you are.

your welcoming arms,
your loving touch,
and your greeting; a gentle forehead kiss;;

create a home.

My home is wherever you are.

Wherever you are to welcome me in, hold me tight, and kiss me gently.

Feeling safe is what creates a home, and you are my home.

I've Seen People Jump

I've Seen People Jump

A lot of people jump
I've seen it
they climb up on the railing

and they jump

they fall forever
in reality it's only a few seconds

but in their heads

it must feel like forever

do you think any of them regret it?

Answer

When the water is washing over them
and the tides engulf their lungs
and the salt stains their skin
and the pressure bursts their eye ***** open inside of their head

do you think they regret it then?

We all die William.

there's no sugar coating that
no amount of my preaching will make that ok
I get that
I can live with that

But if my belief in religion
and in turn my belief in you
keeps one person away from this railing

that would jump over it otherwise

well then that makes it all

seem real to me.

Cursed generation??

Cursed generation??

We've come to a point where people treat the clergy as god,
And love is less important than gold,
A mere man has total control over people so much that his orders are taken more seriously than the word,the good news,the gospel.
Making congregants do all sorts of things that could lead to hell,
Making them eat grass,eat snakes,making them conform to deception,
Thought we were supposed to be the chosen generation,a holy nation,
But it seems like that has just been taken as a simple notion.

Its crazy what's happening around us,we need to strive to be on the good side because deception is now as common as oxygen if you ask me.
