Love is a word I've never understood
It's supposed to be a magical good
Yet its escaped my realm of possibilities
But I've never been blinded by its abilities

But then I saw your face once again
It'd been years since I last saw it when
When I was just a tiny little, lost stray
And you were the guiding shepard to my way  

And now all I can seem to say is 1 4 3 2
1 for I, 4 for love and 3 is for you and 2 is too  
So I'm saying and singing I love you too
So I'm saying and singing I love you too

And now I've grown up from that past image of me
I no longer look at myself and see what use to be
You showed me the light to that dark set
You were the key to the lock on my closet

I want my life filled with a feeling of happiness,
a feeling that replaces this loneliness
A feeling that makes me awaken with a smile
A feeling that shows up and stays for a long while

But even if it so happens that it won't last
Because of our twisted past
I would at least know that it was true
Because of what you did and felt too

I know I'm asking for more
Than I've ever asked before
But when do I ever ask for any assistance?
Never,
So now I'm just hoping this will make a difference

I'm not asking for perfection
I'm asking for protection
I'm not asking for a knight for my arm
I'm asking for a person who is my good luck charm

Just for someone who loves me
Someone to set my mind free
A person that's worth loving
A person that deserved all my hugging

Valentine, oh, valentine
How I hope you hear my rhyme.
So that it is perceived correctly
And spoken, with words formed by me, directly
And for you to understand my love for you
It is no joke, or form of mockery,
but one felt by, not many,
but a few

This air so dark and unsanitary
It reeks of smoke and carbon dioxide
Yet breathing it in is mandatory
And there is no place to hide

And if we don’t soon start a revolution
We will continue to curse and sentence this world to death
This generation may not see its extinction
But our descendants will feel it taking it’s last breath

I want my mirror to steam up
I want my heart to shut the hell up
I want these tears to go to hell
All I want is for you go there as well

See if my mirror steamed up
I wouldn’t see the reflection that’s so ****** up
But If my heart doesn’t stop aching
I think I may end up faking

Faking the smiles and laughs
Pretending I’ve put up glass
Instead of this 10 foot brick wall
So no1 can see my pain at all

I know that I may be more
More than a friend to you
But I feel like you’d kick me to the floor
If she ever came running back to you

So I love you
And I know you love her
so guess I’m just another you
Hoping for a miracle to occur,
Falling in love with someone who won’t love me 2

And I may be mad
I may say you should go to hell
But its ’cause you drive me mad
You make my pain disappear into a well

I don’t know how to deal with this
’cause all it took for me was one simple kiss.
although, even before that night
You fulled my darkness with light.

So I love you
And I know you love her
so guess I’m just another you,
Hoping for a miracle to occur,
Falling in love with someone who won’t love me 2

heart broken tears cascaded upon these words

My blanket isn't the same anymore
It's empty without your cold feet
My arms aren't the same anymore
Since I can't feel your heart beat

My kitchen isn't the same anymore
It's kettle doesn't boil water for you
My ears aren't the same anymore
Since I can no longer hear you

My heart isn't the same anymore
It's got a longing only you fulfill
My eyes aren't the same anymore
Since I can't see the smile of my Phil..

The day that had me fixed to the ground
The day that made me wake up and look around
The day I felt the true meaning of woe
The day I was forced to watch you go

This day is one engraved forever in my memory
A day that sneaks into my dreams so easily
The unique moment in my life that made me realise
That life is full of both truths and lies

That even when sorrowful death is seen
it doesn’t mean that the living always believed
The fact that I was a child, only fifteen
Created my desperate need to be relieved

I wanted the pain to go away
I Didn’t want you to be gone yet another day
I wanted your cold skin to be warm yet again
I wanted to escape to way back when

Back when I could hear your laughter echo through the mall
Back when the last time I saw you wasn’t in a picture on the wall
Back when I didn’t have to cry about you to the unearthly heavens
Back when you didn’t live among the haloed legends

But back to the now we live in
Back to how this could only be the beginning
For with the breaths were blessed with today
And we shouldn’t let these memories fade away

We should learn to stand together hand in hand
In remembrance of those who left unplanned
And learn to preach life’s wonder and glory
’cause I don’t know about you, but that’s how I’d like them to tell my story

To those who have lost loved ones...
Elizabeth Fruin Dec 2016
So much left to be said between us
But these words had become silent
So much left to be done between us
But our actions had become private

We no longer shared every thought
We didn't share thought waves
It's as if our very souls were bought
To mark the stones to our graves
#lost
Elizabeth Fruin Nov 2014
Your hands have stopped ticking for me
Yet I am frozen and you are free
You no longer have to tick tock
You have finally unbinded your lock

Where as I am drifting through space
Going nowhere without a single trace
I am lost amongst the empty galaxies
Like a child lost to the unforgiving seas

In my mind I hear your noise happen
I look around gaining my lost hope then
I think to myself that maybe its you
I lift my shoulders to see if its true

Tick.
My head swings up praying its no trick
Tock.
My heart aches to be free and unblock

Tick tock, tick tock.
I hear as you once again bind your lock

For those who know that someone has sacrificed for you ♡

It felt like love at first sight
Now, I'd never been one to believe
But this person took away all my doubt
This person became a thieve

The thieve to my soul
The one that made me feel whole
Take into consideration
I've never given someone the chance
Or even allowed them one dance

But I'd dance the night away with you
I'd give you a million and one chances
'cause I think I love the view
Yes its true
'cause as long as you feel this trance
I'd be okay with this single dance

You see
Your body fits mine like a glove
And as long as you feel my love
I'm okay with just one kiss
I'm okay with this feeling of bliss

The crackled tensions drifted about
Echoed voices reached out
A darkened room with one ray of light
A couple danced all through the night

But then a blue rose was found and followed by glee,
Because the man went down on one knee
Fore, instead of thorns on its stem
A golden ring replaced them

A boy said to a girl,
Something that made him her world,
He said, “In every book, in every tale,
They say the hero is always the male,
However, times are changing into a new
And my true hero will always be you.”

Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Your life was like a shooting star
A broken ray unable to be fixed
Here one moment, gone the next
But now I'm just wondering where you are

Are you out there saving the world
Are you out there heeding my plea
Are you out there thinking of this little girl
Or are you out there finding the key

Something that can save us in the end
so that we don't have to fall hard
A special something that will help us fend?
Or are you hiding in the sky so starred?
Elizabeth Fruin Oct 2014
I sing this lullaby to you
Wishing you weren't a stranger
For this is what I do
Instead of avoid your danger

Sure you may try
But I know you only lie

You were never there
And you think you may have cared
But you were never here
These burdens weren't ever meant to be shared

- E.A.F
Elizabeth Fruin Aug 2017
Its sad that I can't really remember you
I remember moments that were once new
Like trips to the zoo or car rides in your BMW
But I dont remember the essence of you

I can't remember the smell to your clothes
The scent isn't picked up by my nose
No memory of the last hug we shared
Or the last time I made fun of your beard

You were a dad to me maybe not my father
But you treated me as your own daughter
How can my brain even think to forget you?
Why can't I remember our last "I love you"

I don't know what we actually said that night
The one before I woke up to the medics flight
The way they ran to your room to abruptly try
Only to give us a truth we wished was a lie
Missing a big part of my heart today..
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Once upon a time
I was yours and you were mine
We spent every second together
We were meant to be friends forever

Yet unspoken words torn us apart
Now I keep wondering when did this all start
When did we start having awkward moments
When did we start seeing each other as opponents

I keep thinking back to the days of yesterday
When we thought our friendship would never go away
But here we are trying to have a good old DMC
But we’re not willing to let the truth be

We aren’t the best of buds anymore
Seems we had surgery, ’cause we aren’t attached by the hip anymore

But I’m willing to try resurrect this friendship
’cause I’m not willing to up and jump ship
Not yet, I want to try harder and not sink
Its going to have to capsize before I even think

Think about closing my door in your face
Think about leaving without a trace

when losing a friend isn't an option
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2017
She starred upon passing surfaces
Not dared to look at any faces
Each platform raced by the next
As her mind rebuilds its recks

A lip numbed by her own bite
Holding back her fight or flight
The world still turned with her steps
One off of the edge of this complex

- E.A.F
Unsure of what live should be like at this point...
Elizabeth Fruin Jan 2015
I've put my fears to the winds
And I'm never looking back at my sins
I'm moving far away from here
I'm striding toward a future so clear

With the suns' rays kissing my skin like a lullaby
And blue skies no longer passing me by
And even if they hide behind weary clouds
It'll be like when I found you hiding in the crowds

A dandelion amongst a field of roses
Its beauty's hidden under our noses
A sight imagined, but not commonly seen
Until a dandelion's roar was silent and clean

Unheard, mistaken and a tad broken were you
Loud mouthed, understood and glued together I am
I may not understand you all the way through
But give me a lifeline and you'll know for sure who I am

See I chose the dandelion instead of a rose
Because your beauty no longer hides under my nose

I thought I had found my diamond in the rough
Although he was closed off and tough
I still saw the side to him that not many could
Even past the stomped rose petals and the burnt cabin wood,
The faked smiles and the hollow laughs,
And the fables about not being able to find our other half's

I still heard the altruistic tone to his thump-thump thumping heart
I saw the high percentage of hope on my colour coded chart

I sensed a shivering lightning spark
That ceased in me
All that was so dark
Yet it came with a fee

The cost of eternal bliss or misery
Turns out I was wrong about our chemistry

Down by the river side
There's a place where we can hide
Its got trees and tranquillity
And its so easy to go daily

See down by the river shore
There's a place to explore
No more than your breath is needed
Its a place where thoughts are secreted

No you must know that down by the river
Is where memories are made of silver
Some are bad and some are golden
But they're things unable to be stolen

So come down to the river with me
And you can adventure the paths to be
The world in all its wonders and shapes
It offers the best of all escapes

Last breaths taken away from them
The end to a journey of knowledge
The final stitching to a dresses hem
The first step to the worlds edge

Clouds are fewer
Rains are fonder
Pastors are newer
And yet I begin to wander

Beep-beep beep-beep
A light flashes repeatedly
Annoying me out of my sleep
I get up eventually

My head aches for silence
It pounds for caffeine
My body readies to balance
As my feet hit the ground in routine

I stretch and close my eyes
Whipping away these flakes of sand
As my head screams out, its cries
My legs refuse to listen to my command

One by one they move forward
They begin to trudge lazily
My mind thinking backward
Thinking about the times that were so giddy

- E.A.F
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
I see you for your light
I see you shining bright
For when I look at you
All I see is something new
For when I look at you, I see it all
From summer to fall

The autumn winds and the summer rays
The youth to these days
The lush meadows
The oach tree’s flowing shadows
And the streams in the cracks of the concrete
Even the radio signal’s greet

For when i look at you
I can’t help but sense a clue
A clue to our happiness
The key to end our sadness

Its as if a rush from outer space,
a extreme car chase
Or adrenaline racing through me
Which all this caused
These echoing heart beats from me

Maybe our emotions are things that control us more than we will ever be able to control them.

Some say that we don't have control over the basis of our feelings, love and fear. They both blind us so easily that we don't even see our true reflection in the mirror. Let alone anyone else's. We see either the best or the worst aspects in retrospect of which one is the blinding tool at hand.

Yet some people tend to stipulate that we have the choice to be scared. That we decide whether we fall in or out of love. That we have control of ourselves, the whole "mind over matter" spiel.

However, in reality, its both theories. Sure, you may have some control here or there, but you are never a hundred percent in charge of what your body does. Its impossible. It is it's own being and doesn't really care if you disagree with it sometimes.

Whether its the awkward sounds it makes in public, like a rumbling stomach noise or the rollercoaster of emotions that kick in after the age of twelve or so. We generally don't have much control over it all. Life has a way of making us think that we can and that its possible, but then we have a way of denying that and never even letting the probability of it come to light.

The tune that sets off my alarm
The notes that carry all of my charm
The shivers that make my heart flutter
And my essence melt like butter

The breeze that seeps through the wind chimes
The echoing instruments that full countless lifetimes
The fingers that move against the threads of the soul
Compositions that leave a person feeling whole

The sighing highs and the weeping lows
The breathless moments to the shows
The fulfillment to the crowds screams
The fuel to my fire, my dreams

The mystery behind the composer’s movement
The magic within this fulfillment
The love I entrust with the soul of the music
This feeling leaving me static

I can feel cloud nine within my reach
Don’t make me sit and preach
About my past experiences
And all the consequences
That have left me on my knees
Begging father please
Be rid of my sins
And treasure my wins

Let me Follow what might be
The future me,
my true shades and shape
For this is my one and only escape

If this is delusional then I never want to see reality
I'd rather be insane and live out our small infinity


Where we are who we are despite the outsiders
Where we can live life and survive like fighters


And no matter what you are to all those others
I will always see passed your facade of colours

We can stray along a thread of free impossibility
Or dangle from the rooftops of a towering city

I feared the outcome of my feelings
I felt as if I was an abomination
Like I was the sting-theory without its strings
Or the earth with us as its damnation.

I have felt these sensations before
But I have never let my body succumb
I resisted them like the French, but more
Until one day my opposition become weak and numb

I let my heart take control of my thinker
As my body began to wonder "what is that linger?"

Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
We’ve all lived in that dark dark place
Where no one ever came face to face
I saw everyone’s walls as they rebuilt
I searched for the answer to what we all felt

I felt myself fall and tumble
And watched as my own walls began to crumble
Yet I couldn’t help myself
‘Cause I wasn’t myself

And even though they said it gets better
Why did it feel like I was sleeping on a stretcher
Or the cold concrete floor of lives gutter
‘Cause I couldn’t find my way out of that clutter

Until I was pulled to side
And told it was no time to hide
It was time to stand up
And recognize we were all fed up

Fed up with society
Fed up with our anxiety
Fed up with their priorities
Fed up with most of humanity

So we smashed our walls to dust
We began to learn that the key was trust
Trust that we will never again go down that *****
Trust in one anothers hope

-E. A. F
even when you fall to your hands and knees, STAND UP, dust the dirt away and carry on!
Fee
Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Fee
I need you far away from me
I want love as vibrant as can be
I need a shelter from the storm
I want a set of arms to keep me warm

Not yours,
No, not yours
I tried my best to please you
But you still shoot your words like bullets
Isn't that true

You shoot me in the heart
But that was only the start
You shoot my pride
You made me want to run and hide

You shoot me in the head
Just with the simple words you said
You shoot me to end it all
But never let me take that final fall

You mistreated me over and over
You abuse me time and again
Your words hit like a stone to glass
Yet your fists stayed quiet
like a student in class

You butcher me
Motionlessly
You ended me
So emotionlessly

I took all the of the abuse
I let you hit me for the simplest of bad news
You hit me with your words
Yes you did !!

"Stop!"
I would shout every once in a while
"Stop please, I don’t want to fight!"
And you’d just smile
You made me think there was light

But that’s when the belt left your waistline
That’s when you said I had to pay my outdated fine

My fee for standing up
My fee for even looking up
My fee for trying to be free
My fee for attempting to flee

So I felt the sting across my back
I felt the buckle that made contact
I felt the whips, as my soul left me
I felt myself take my last breath while he chocked me.

Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
We live in a world of consequences
Where freedom and safety are kept in fences
In this world everyone seeks one in the same
But they treat our future like it’s a game

But I don’t want to play ball
I want to fight for it all
I want freedom, fraternity and equality
But not for my generation alone, for an eternity

You see, foreigners may see the buzzing bee’s and the singing sparrows
But we live in the cruelty of the shadows
Where ****, ****** and poverty prevail
Where justice only seems to fail.

But I don’t want to play ball no more
I want to fight for it all
I want safety, choice and an education
Not only for me, but the entire nation

We may not all live to see my vision
But I know that’s never our decision
This just provides an easier choice to make
‘Cause I can’t sit around, I’ll break.
For while I have opportunity,
The rest of my people, my community
Are out there suffering an unjust cruelty

I wont play
I will fight today
They may see me as young, naive and inferior
But all I’ve got to reply is I’ll defeat ya

So stand up and fight with me
‘Cause what would our future be
if we let this be the reason to our defeat
And the unbecoming greet
To our own dooms day
‘Cause if we leave it, it won’t go away.

Elizabeth Fruin Sep 2014
Are my tears forced or real?
Are my emotions truly what I feel?
Or do I just stand and wait?
As if to say my heart will take any plain, old bait
As if the only happiness I will ever see is that of others,
The ones with a happy mom and dad, a sister and of cause those annoying brothers.

The ones who haven’t felt this level of pain,
Maybe the kind that the earth feels when hit by the rain,
But not the kind to make a notebook and pen become a best friend.
Not the kind to make solitude the only thing you’d defend.

No, not the kind to make you feel lonely in a crowded room.
Not the kind to take your reason to life away with a great, big boom.

I envy those that have what I do not,
I hate those that can love what I can not,
I miss those that left me behind…
I wish those memories wouldn’t haunt my mind.

The memories of walking into my first stage of hell,
Tears that could overflow a bottomless well,
Screams of help that could make a deaf person cringe
And teardrops so acidic they could cause my skin to singe

All apart what I am, both strong and weak.
Parts of the past that will always cause a tear to roll down my cheek

And you ask if I’m doing well?
If you must know.. I’m in my second stage of hell.
Seven more to go from here
I’ll let you know if I ever get back to where my heart is near.

I guess these happy times are over.
I no longer own that four leaf clover,
’cause just as everything was going right,
It turned wrong in broad day light.

My heart wept and cried and ached,
It try a smile which was forced and faked.
My body fell and crumbled as it lay.
For it felt as if today was my last day.

’cause my heartbeat echoed and trembled,
While its core recharged and reassembled.
My body capsized, left with no hope or wonder.
No need to do either about the future.

I played games when we never knew each other
The me who I thought I was, would now stutter
I didn't know what it felt like to fall for someone
I always thought that they'd hear my story and run

But then you didn't at first. You held my hand
You took me to a happy never never land
You said my I'm okay could become truthful
But that opinion soon became neutral.

Where the games were once fun for you
It soon became too much for you too
You never thought you'd have to save a life
You backed away to save yourself the strife.

I've been found out on all the games I've played
Each one was just another brick I've laid
To build my walls higher for my own safety
I tried to lock them away but you found the key

Was I meant to understand the repercussions
That each turn would lead to these discussions
That with every act i once did would undoubtedly
Lead to the moment where we're no longer a we

A smile that holds my heart
A person not willed to play the part
A creeping feeling that makes me sink
A thought that causes me to over think

A hug that steals away my affection
A face that seems too close to perfection
A stupid text that gives me hope
Only too tie my throat with a rope

A set of eyes that have me
A voice that sets me free
A note of a final goodbye
One that made me cry

Gorgeous is
What she is
Gorgeous is
What I’m not

Yet your smile holds my heart
Even your not willed to play the part
A creeping feeling that makes me sink
A ****** thought that only makes sense in ink

Gorgeous is
What she is
Gorgeous is
What I’m not

Your hug still steals away my affection
Your face still seems too close to perfection
Your stupid text still gives me hope
Only too tie my throat with a rope

A set of eyes that have me
A voice that sets me free
A note of a final goodbye
One that made me cry

He appeared at my bedside yet again, His eyes an ethereal blue, Filled with concern and sorrow… He spoke to me as I faked my slumber, I watch his shadow upon my pale brown wall, While he said how he wished he could be seen, Be heard and to be listened to by me…

He cried his sorrows to me as the clock ticked ever so slowly. Every night I awaited his arrival and when my cream curtains shifted, so did my breathing. My heart ached for him, for him to understand, that I too know his sorrow… Even so, he continued to speak…  

He started with the same words every time, “I’ve always been the one to protect you, Nevertheless, I may be in need of protection soon… From the heartache I feel every time I cannot hold you… Every time, I cannot look you in the eyes and say ‘I love you! ‘Every second of every day that I cannot be with you…”

His voice floated in the air as I listened to his repetitive harmony. I had already memorized each angelic feature, each shade of light to his shadow…
He always seemed to continue with, “Even if my heart breaks, you are still the light to my darkness, the stars to my night, and the gravity that holds my sanity.” He always sighed this with his head held in his hands.

I have wondered. However, I had never ventured beyond the slumber that sheltered me. Never able or rather, never courageous enough to do so. No… I would never find out, but at least I knew that, you are the comfort to this pain, the soul to this body And the love to this heart…

We use to sit and talk every once in a while,
We had moments that consisted of only a smile.
A few secrets were lifted
And feelings seemed to have drifted,

But I still found myself counting stars,
Searching for your favorite cars.
Believing we had it all,
Even knowing we were about to fall.

I knew I was boarding a sinking ship,
But I hoped that was just a false tip.
A jealous remark from an old lover,
Something to separate me from another.

Yet your words still roam my mind,
Thinking how did I ever get this blind?
You knew from the start right?
You knew I wouldn’t be the one to end this fight.

So you sat me down and explained
That you didn’t want to be claimed.
You didn’t want to have to fake.
You didn’t want to cause my heart break.

So,
I watched all your pauses,
I heard you repeat all the causes.
I hoped that it was all a bad dream,
But I guess that’s too main-stream

Because I looked you in the eyes.
I saw no trust, no love, just lies.
I didn’t see the person that I thought I knew
And that’s when I recognized the fake within you…

He's got those hazel eyes
He's got the perfect lies
He makes the world go round
He's like a king just crowned

He stands front and centre
He'd never need a mentor
He has that natural swag
He makes me want to gag

He's everyone's everything
But they don't see a thing
They don't see his cruelty
Or his true dishonesty

He may seem just perfect
But that's incorrect
He's a thorn to a rose
Its his true pose

Yet he somehow thrives
I don't understand how he survives
His life isn't independent
Yet it seems so splendid

He always lies and cheats
And always somehow repeats
He makes my life so difficult
So much so, its makes me see every fault

I string hearts along with too much ease
They fall and follow with no worries
They stumble over my words as I speak
and let those words create a creak

Its essence spilling out on my screen
As I talk the talk like a aplomb teen
Searching the globe for someone
Whether they're the moon or the sun

That is a question I'm willing to ask
But it seems that it really isn't my task
I'm not meant to string along hearts
Or let them be the way I throw darts

I'm meant to find one that loves me for me
But when I find her, I'm too blind to see
Too oblivious to notice that I'm smiling
But I know my hearts' wings aren't meant for flying

Here we are,

Here we are
Rain down on us

Let the drops fall
As we call check mate

Let them wash away
The sins we bare
No longer have a say

Our freedom will be the outcome of what we are fighting for
You may feel as if we are crawling on this blood stained floor
But we have just a few more steps to take before we can soar
So, stop the tunnel vision, stop this war,

’cause we also have what we believe in now
This imprisonment should end no matter what they allow
Our belief should stomp their efforts against us
We should not let them come between us

We should fight until our last breath
Maybe one day, we can stop
But only when we feel that we’ve done enough
But this should never end with our death
Maybe one day, when we feel that we’ve done enough
For this thought should consist of both hope and love

Hope for an ideal that can change a country
Love for a sense that can only bring unity
Awareness for the fact that we have a common enemy
Hate for the fact they rain upon us in vanity

Their actions have an aftereffect
Ones that not one person can mend
We need, now more than ever, to no longer JUST reflect
But to make this all come to an end

I am a person with a heart that is in need of mending,
A person that feels weak and tends to fail when it comes to self-defending,
But I can’t lie and say that I don’t have some good,
Because when no one else would,
I tried to help the frail
Even if it turned me to become weakened and pale…

I always try to take one-step further,
But to be honest, I am still a learner,
I don’t know what I should be doing in this life,
This era filled of darkness and strife.

A place where you can’t always think things through,
Where not everything you’ve been told is true,
But one can only try to change the outcome
Because, before named victor, you’d have to run.

When I look in the mirror day after day
It's like looking at art you try to say
But I don't see what you see in me
I don't see that apparent hidden beauty

All I see is this mascara running wild
And an old soul trapped in a body of a child
Trying to find its way back to the world
Back to were our lips were forever curled

And yes what we have could be nothing
But imagine if its more than just something
'cause everything could be so eccentric
Consuming my wonder as if it's a trick

If I were beautiful, would you love me more?
If I were magical, would i be the only one you'd adore?
If I were boisterous, would you laugh until unable?
If I were settled, would you feel more stable?

If I were spontaneous, would we have an adventure?
If I was fast-reacting, would our life move in a blur?
If I were lonely, would you kiss me at the kissing booth?
If I were mysterious, would you want to know the truth?

If I was rude, would you think of cursing?
If I wasn't me, would you fall for this person?
If I were me, would you want to be my joy?
If I were me, would i be more than your toy?

If I was optimistic, would you seal the deal?
If you had empathy, would you feel what I feel?
If I were a star, would you see how you make me shine?
If I were your love, would you see beyond the lie "I'm Fine."

Frowns of sorrow raise,
No one stands to praise
Joy merging with the carnage
Warriors trapped in their own cage
Fleeting maidens seek out aid
While souls turn dark and start to fade

A kingdom crumbles to dust
Fir the king could not contain his lust
Which lead to a witch crowned queen?
She who is never truly seen…

He mistook her as a truthful wife,
Even though she was destined to take his life,
A stab to the chest and betrayal occurred
Yet, his death was not enough to cause her black heart to be cured

Still old and weak,
She saw a frightened tear run down a little girls’ cheek

Her black hair, pale skin and red lips screamed beauty
The witch walked over and explained her death was her duty

A scream echoed through the hollow halls,
Blood smeared and stained these dreaded walls

For, her skin as pale as snow,
Her body still in need to grow,
Her hair so dark yet it seemed to shine
And her red lips glistened against the light, as if to say, “I’ll be fine.”
Snow White Parody

I wish my opinions would echo out
Clear as the dj doing a shout out
See my words make the sound of silence
My thoughts are seen as an act of defiance

I sit back in the dark
Scared I'd leave a mark
Scared to make a squeak,
The only time you'd hear my voice is if I were forced to speak

But I'm done with that
Its time I start swinging back
defending what I believe
Not caring bout what you perceive

I'm done with the wall flower persona
Cause I'm about to go super nova
I'm bursting out with this revolution
'cause I'm tired of living this illusion

The make believe image of peace
Acting like crime isn't obese
Pretending that the skies are blue
'cause these lies are far from true

The lies of our country
Like how there is real equality
But as long as we see this as reality
We can not be seen for our humanity

And only When
When more than a few see it as priority
Then we can really live in a true democracy

A place we are able to call home
With honor and dignity
So we don't have to roam

I don't want ppl seeing us as weak and cheap
I want them to follow us like sheep
I want us to be history makers
Not generation breakers

I see other people turning their heads
Wondering if I should be on meds
'cause my ideas are crazy
But if you ask me, they're just lazy

They don't have the energy
to fulfill our destiny
So I'm here to give you a needed nudge
Its time to stop walking and trudge

By any means necessary some seem to say
But their actions tend to stray away
'cause there is no easy way out
Unless your willing it bow out
But I refuse to quit
Who would that benefit?

So instead of sitting back in the dark
instead of being Scared I'd leave a mark
Instead of being Scared to make a squeak,
Instead of you only hearing my voice when I'm forced speak

I'm going to stand in the spotlight
Make sure my mark is a winning fight,
Make sure my squeak is a roar
And that my voice is accounted for

If you feel you want this hidden anarchy
Feel free

But don't expect me to take the back door
Or to play possum on the floor
'cause I'm bursting out with this revolution
Cause I'm tired of living this illusion

I miss the wish that came true,
I miss the arms that wrapped around me,
I miss the love I received by you,
I miss the comfort that use to be…

I miss the cheerfulness in life,
I miss you when I see a smile,
I miss that you loved my mom, your wife
I miss your hug every once in a while

I miss everything to do with you
Like the peeks on my cheek
All the times you said, “I Love you”
And the part about not being weak

I miss not hating myself,
I miss that wish that came true.

to my loving step-dad. memories of you no longer bring tears of sadness, but ones of rejoice, because we cherish every second you were in our lives.

I gave your heart away just the other day
I didn’t want you to stay
It felt wrong, yet right
’cause I didn’t want to end your light

You fought with all your might
You thought you’d win this fight
But I said to you baby
You can’t save me

You always thought I was one in a few
And that may have been true
But I’m no light, I’m a darkness, one of a kind
Something that should be left behind

Like these thoughts, so undefined
The ones that make me want to rewind
Back to when I let you slip away
Back to that imperfect day.

We all have that one thing we're destined to do,
It leaves our sanity something to cling to.
Its the feeling of passion that takes our soul,
It differentiates the empty from the whole.

This is what we have all be told,
But when we are different, we fold.
We don't stand tall in success,
Because we're all scared of originalities stress.

We would rather prosper as copies
Than leave behind our insecurities.
We would rather follow someone else's bricked way,
Before wondering into the jungle with fears to stray .

We have been forced, scared into a cage of indiversity,
But the bars are invisible to my curiosity.
Your minds have been set to a specific channel.
One of balanced fear and comfort with no light at the end of the tunnel.

I never know if I should be moving on
Or staying strong
I never know
how to control
these feelings
That are whispering
In my ear

The feelings that ignite
The moon and stars
Just because I’m willing to fight
Even if I don’t know where you are

I don’t know how you feel
I don’t know if you think this is real
I don’t know when you want to talk
And I don’t know if you’ll stay or walk

But I do know
that I think I like you
'Cause I feel the sting of Cupids’ bow
And I’m hoping you do too

I feel the sting of that never ending bow
I feel the angel wings surrounding me
I feel that mysterious glow
I feel like I’m okay with only you and me

But I wish upon a star
Every night
That I’m right bout you who are
Oh how I hope I’m right

'Cause I know how I feel
I know I wish this were real
I know when I want to talk
And I know I don’t want to walk

'Cause

I feel the sting of that stupid bow
I feel the angel wings surrounding me
I feel that mysterious glow
I feel like I’m okay with only you and me

But I don’t know if you’ll stay or go
I don’t know if you’ll walk that walk
I don’t know if you feel this too
And I don’t know if you ever really want to talk

But most of all

I never know if I should be moving on
Or staying strong
I never know
how to control
these feelings
That are whispering
In my ear

I have a fairly small confession to make
My heart is fine, its not about to break
My eyes no longer glisten as much
And my smiles are from loves' gentle touch

I no longer find myself faking grins
Or forcing blades to rid me of my sins
I no longer wish for that eternal silence
No.. I no longer act against life in defiance

To the people who have been dragged through the dirt by life, but are still here! ♡

My world seems so different to yours
Its like I'm the moon and you're the stars
You get to twinkle at all the good and bad
While I smile at what I wish I had

You get the butterflies and flowers
While my feet dangle from the towers
You get to smell the roses everyday
As I feel myself slipping away

I found myself wishing away the years
Hoping that it'd cure me of these tears
Oh I find myself sinking far to deep
To a dot on the atlas I'd hate to keep

Getting washed up with lives current
As I wish for it to all be different
I remember you and how I wished it
Wished that I was you instead of me
Instead of this imperfect
Instead of this imperfect me
