Fiddler on the Roof
Halo Feb 2018
I am a Fiddler on the Roof.
Someone like me is rare.
Daring enough to put my life on the line,
Make my presence known and there.

But I am a villager.
A mama nonetheless.
I get my hair pulled out,
My heart pulled out.
Then I have to clean the mess.

The Russians!
They torture us with
Pogroms and demonstrations.
The Constable their leader
In conquering many nations.

My soul is the Fiddler.
A simple sound happy on its own.
My love is whats keeping me on the roof.
I wants to grow and grow.

A villager and a Russian.
That is what I want, why I was sent.
Arm in arm with the Constable.
Happy to life´s end.
I can change things.

I am a Fiddler on the Roof.
Ready to change tradition!!!!

Fade Away
Halo Nov 2017
The things you'll think will always stay
Will always seem to fade away.
Whether you're like Joyce and you talk to the lights,
Or you're like Mike,
Dustin,
and Lucas,
and you just have to fight.
You can't avoid the guaranteed,
you can not make miracles.
The spirits and creatures are against you,
And you'll just make yourselves criminals.

My friend is to move away,
It is a miserable day.
She's going to disappear like Will,
Leaving me here to stay.

I've just gotta remember
Be brave like Nancy,
Ask for help like Will,
Use my mind like Eleven,
and just CHILL.
The things you think will always stay
Will always seem to fade away.

Fade Away
As you can tell,  I LOVE Stranger Things!!!
<3
I'll miss you Smithse!!!!!!

Halo
Halo Nov 2018
I am a fallen angel.
Taken down by those among me,
And fearful of the demons that live under the surface of the clouds.
For they could break my wings again.
And they would.

I have taken a step down from grace,
Into a forsaken place,
From which I cannot tell light from dark.
Right now I need hope.
Even a spark.

I am left here to drown in my emotions,
In my thoughts and feelings.
My wings will not move.
I am tied down.

But I have a halo.

It keeps me from the evils,
And the sorrows.
So I can be happy for another tomorrow.
I am going through a really quite emotional and confusing time right now, and I am writing what I feel and what I need, and what everyone feels and needs, when in desperate times.

Moonlight & Sunshine
Halo Jan 2018
Moonlight.
Lights up the night.
Keeps you out of the dark.
It casts a defiant sheen over life.

She is his moonlight.
She lights up the night.
She keeps him out of the dark.... sometimes.
But she's defiant, and she wants everything that is not hers.

Sunshine.
Brilliant and stunningly bright.
Adds a sparkle to his life.
Keeps you out of the dark but also brings light.

I want to be his sunshine.
I want to add a sparkle to his life and his eyes.
I would keep it light,
Fun loving and free.
Just the way young kids should be.

The moon gets it light from the sun.
I am no longer her ghost.
She will be my ghost.
She will want what I have,
And what I love most.
I will not be her follower.
I'm going to take him far.
I will be my own star.
I will get him away from the world and bring him to the stars above.
I will bring him to me. And the universe will too.
I will be his sunshine....... Someday at least.

The sun does not need a moon.
The moon needs a sun.
I am no longer the moon.
My journey to the sun has begun.
This is for me and my friend Serenity

Sugar Dust
Halo Nov 2018
We can spread a little sugar dust,
Have a laugh if we must.
We can have a sugar rush,
Talk about our feelings and maybe blush.

But sugar always leads to crashes.
And friends will always have their clashes.
We'll focus on the best of times,
And think about them oftentimes.

We can spread a little sugar dust,
And laugh if we must.

When a nova happens,
A star shines bright.
And makes all the galaxy awe at it's light.
The star is born.

When a Supernova happens,
A star explodes,
Full of bright colors that nobody will ever know.
The star dies.

The most beautiful things on the outside
Are either just barely getting the chance to live,
Or are dying while people admire,
Not feeling their pain.

Supernovas might be marvelous,
But there is a always a story behind them you will never know.

I Pity the Fool
Halo Nov 2017
I pity the fool who takes pity on me,
Says "Little girl don't get hurt."
I am not some pretty princess,
wearing a sequin skirt.
I've always been the small one,
the meager, shy geek.
I pity the fool who sees this in me,
and finds me tender and weak.
For that is not me.

I pity the fool who takes pity on him,
for his size and not himself.
He is a strong individual,
with his feelings high up on a shelf.
He has always been the short one,
the "Munchkin," if you must.
I pity the fool who will not look past this
and leave the poor boy to dust.
For that is not him.

I pity the fool who takes pity on her,
for her seemingly awful life.
It may have it's dark spots,
but there is always light.
Deep down inside she is unique and daring,
but all of people's harsh words
leave her heart and soul tearing.
She has always been the outcast,
the one too weird for words.
I pity the fool who won't get to know her,
and leave her up high with the birds.
For that is not her.

I Pity The Fool.

Flawless
Halo Nov 2017
Look at the girl,
She's flawless.
Her inner beauty shines so bright.
You have to try and play keep-away,
Try with all your might.
She is Flawless.

She says she trusts you,
But you know she does not.
She wants to keep him all to herself,
And she has tied you in a knot.
She is not Flawless.

Look at yourself,
You're definitely NOT flawless.
You may have inner beauty but it is dull and unliving,
Your glasses make your eyes seem too big
And your friends are unforgiving.
You are not Flawless.

No one is Flawless,
No one is Perfect,
No one is You,
And you are You in every aspect.

Be Yourself,
No matter how crazy you are.
You may not belong here,
But there is always somewhere afar.
You are flawless in your own way.

Upside Down
Halo Nov 2017
When you just want to cry.
When you just want to fade.
When you just want to try.
When you think you have your life made.

Happiness is not a smile on your face.
Happiness is a warm embrace.
Happiness is the feeling when you share a bond.
Happiness is what makes your life seem long.

When you see something awful.
When a person you love disappears.
When you have a crush that is out of your league,
When happiness just seems to leak.

You can get ****** into the Upside-Down,
Your life can turn into a merry-go-round.
You can have a voice in your head that likes it cold,
You can draw vines and have tragic episodes.

Don't make yourself cry.
Don't think to fade.
You just have to try
And you'll have your life made.
Don't turn your life upside down.
The monsters will get you.

The Upside Down
Halo Nov 2017
Being a geek doesn't get you far,
If it did I'd be on top of the world.
The only thing it get's you are strange sensations,
Like you're being twirled.

No I don't like Stranger Things,
No I don't like Harry Potter.
I'm a geek and I love my stuff,
Almost as much as you may love your daughter.

Stranger Things is my life.
I live for things that excite me.
And you better not judge me,
Because I still sting like a bee.

Should I Stay or Should Eggo?

Opening Poem
Halo Nov 2017
I'm broken down for no apparent reason,
Its almost as if I've been accused of treason.
I love this kid with the brightest smile.
I swear it seems to go on for miles.
No one understands what I feel,
What I think.
My mind is everything but the kitchen sink.
All that matters is him,
Right there.
Taking in his somehow warm, blue stare.
Sometimes I wonder if he is worth the pain,
But then I remember with pain there is gain.
I look at him, and I realize
that I am in love,
And it's the greatest surprise.

Reaching for the Sun
Halo Aug 2018
Snow falls softly all around.
And it disappears when it hits the ground.
The days grow shorter,
There's a hopeful breeze.
As dark turns light,
The oceans unfreeze.

Now we march footprints in the snow.
We don't march to the beat that everybody knows.
We march footprints to show the way home.
Everybody follow.

Don't take that life for granted.
You don't understand it.
That when it's gone it's gone.
It's gone.
Just raise your hands up higher,
Forge your path in fire.
Way up past the sky
You're
Reaching for the sun.

That it is much more than itself.

The one I'll know in an instant.

That pure feeling can still be distant.

I exist to prove to myself that love is real,
That love is not tragical.
I exist to make myself believe
That love is really magical.

Loving the person behind it all.
Support is being there when others are stressed.
Support is loving when they are not their best.
Support is smiling your very brightest.
Support is making that special person feel like they're the mightiest.

Support is emailing every day during English,
Making sure he's okay
And when he is fine,
You feel kinda tinglish.
Support is getting a special dance from a boy.
Support is love in an envoy.

As I watched the boy with the balloon give me a smile.

Forevermore
Halo Nov 2017
Why does one sing?
Why does one listen to song?
Why to hear a single voice
Would a person wait so long?

There is a pitch and a note.
A count and a smile.
A song can seem to go on for a mile.
A voice that melts hearts
starts to sing,
And suddenly your heart is free of suffering.

People don't wait for just anyone,
They wait for a person above everyone.
They wait for a voice that is so filled with love,
You can't help to love the person,
Even if he is so far above.

Forevermore I'll love him so.
My heart will leap and slowly grow.
He'll never leave my mind.
He'll have me feeling out of it.
I know he'll never leave me.
I feel we're the perfect fit.

Even as he fades from view,
His smile shines bright.
Forevermore I'll love him so,
He keeps my soul shining with lasting light.

Forevermore

Blind as a Bat
Halo Jan 2018
Love is as blind as a bat.
It is cold,
Stubborn,
And cruel as well.
But love is also the bag of ice to make your wounds not swell.

Sometimes I want to scream and slap him in the face.
Make him see the things I do.
Give him the wisdom of an elephant,
And make him know love when it is true.

Love is blind as a bat.
He doesn't see what she is doing to him.
Love is a daze and a tornado in the summer.
He gets caught up in a storm not meant for him.
Love is mean,
And tough.
And yes rough,
And I'll be there when he's had enough.

I'll be here waiting for him when he realizes she is not the right person for him to be with. I'll be here when he gets cataract surgery and finally sees we belong together. I'll be here when he is no longer as blind as a bat.

Look Before You Fall
Halo Nov 2017
At some point you will be knocked down,
Maybe by bullies,
Maybe by something unknown.
Maybe by something you know is bad,
But you can't push it away because you're scared.

You would think someone would catch you,
Especially the person you love,
But what if they disappear with you in their arms?
What if their spirit turned into a dove?

What if you are neglected when you need their warmth the most?
What if you know they have feelings
But they love someone more?
What do you do if they act you don't exist and pass through you as if you are a ghost?

He was there to catch me when I fell,
That much is a miracle.
But my soul has gone to the Upside Down,
And left there just to dwell.

Safe yourself the pain,
Keep feeling 22 for heck sakes,
You could stay or you could go,
Or you could save yourself the pain.
The most miraculous thing of all,
Would be if you keep your guard up
And look before you fall.

Life is a Game
Halo Nov 2017
Life is a game we play.
It can be cruel and
                                awful
                                          and painful.
But when you think about it,
there are not that many bad things, just a handful.
There are things to live for,
                                           like friends,
                                        family,
                                                  and even Love.
Life is a game made by God and sent down from above.
        Life can be hardening and emotionally tiring,
         But Life teaches you what to do when you hear a gun firing.
When you are beside yourself,
                                                and think you are dying,
  Remember you haven't beaten Life and you have to keep trying.
Many people mistake Love for Life,
                                                        even though they are merely siblings.
Neither is whole without the other,
                                                          alone they each need filling.
Love is sweet but can be the hardest on your soul,
                     While Life is there to help love grow.

                                                 Life is a game,
                                           But Love is the name.
For a special someone who has no idea how much I love him.

Everyone said "Decisions, Decisions"
As if it was a matter of life and death.
Now I know that they are right,
All it took was one starstruck breath.
We all have our own decisions,
Who to hate and who to like.
But when decisions are not your own,
What point is there to life?

His smile does not belong to me,
Neither does his heart.
Decisions are like the redwood trees,
Daunting and hard to pick apart.

The girl he likes,
She likes him and many more.
This world we face is cruel and mean,
And he has done nothing to deserve feeling sore.
The girl walked down the hall one day,
Hand in hand with another boy.
My face lit up with sympathy,
And me and my perfect boy talked more.

Why should I not be angry?
Why should I be unphased?
How can I go through the pain
Of seeing the dark in his face?

Descend the Stairs
Halo Nov 2017
Why
        is
           a
             word,
                       but
                             also
                                    a
                                      question.
                ­                                     Love
                                                              is­

                                                                ­            

Words are much more than words I dare say.
They may seem like nothing,
But they always have a way.
The only time our simple brains find  this out
Is when we descend the stairs and we never come out.

We have to climb the stairs any way we can,
Once we descend we lose sight of our entire life span.
Descending the stairs is risky,
And frightening.
But if you find your way up,
Your heart will glow like lightning.

Descend the stairs,
Take the risk.
Just take your time,
It doesn't have to be brisk.

Run away to try and reach the above.
Run and hide,
Hiding is what you do best.

I love myself no matter what others think.
My hair can be purple and then bubblegum pink.

No matter high up on the shelf.

I go through lots of things,
Even suicidal thoughts.
Times of wishes,
Times of love,
Times of babies from above.

There are many different stories,
Told to me in my youth.
Storks and fairies,
Magic and wizards,
Tales of falling in love in a blizzard.

I did fall in love.
I fell suddenly and unexpectedly.
I change all the time.
My hair my clothes.
I change suddenly and unexpectedly.
But this, no, this is destiny.

She loved a guy,
He didn't love her back.
She laid on her bed and had a heart attack.
She threw her glasses at the wall,
Her hair as curly and frazzled as her.
She tried to think of one bad thing about him,
But her mind was just a blur.
She was heartbroken.

He is in denial.
He lays awake at night, thinking about what he had done.
He had done the right thing.
Just think.
He ran his fingers through his golden blonde hair and tears brimmed his ocean blue eyes.
He hadn't done what his heart wanted,
For it was in disguise.
He was heartbroken.

Again, I’m up at the witching hour.
For the third week straight.
Just thinking of you.

Blinding white light makes its way through the night and drips through the curtains,
While the bracing wind dances with the flowers you gave me so long ago,
Sitting in their vase and wilting,
Still all alone.
I look at them and I remember that night in December.
Encapsulated in a dull mist.
I crawl my way out of my cradle in the catacombs,
As I stir like a cat in a box.
Every day for me is an equinox.

I make my way to the wall full of pictures,
The wall that always brings up a few snickers.
I see braces on smiles,
I smell gummy bears and  I somehow hear laughs.
But although I know we’re there,
I can’t see me and you anywhere.
We are encapsulated in a dull mist.
Together
Yet
Apart.
Encapsulated by a dull mist.
I would love to hear your opinions.

Colors of my Dreams
Halo Nov 2017
The colors of my dreams vary from
                                                                 blue
                                                                           to pink
                                                                                           to green
                             The prettiest colors you have ever seen.
Some are dark as dark can be,
                                                    some are bright and filled with glee.
  The only thing they all possess
                                          is the very same thing that makes me a mess.
They all have a power over my heart,
                                                           a power that I hate but can not part.
A certain love that can not be denied,
                                                      A certain love that is fueled with pride.
A certain love is what it seems,
                                                  A certain love and color of my dreams.
I know it's a little sappy, but is it good?

Music Box Bear
Halo May 2018
My music box bear is my pride and joy.
It is much more than a toy.
When I sleep with it,
I feel at peace.
As it plays the gentle sound of Fur Elise.

My music box bear came to be long ago.
And from the very beginning it made me glow.
But there is a magic that fills my heart with a long.
And that magic is not within it's song.

My dearest mother gave me the bear,
And told me to keep it with great care.
And every time I feel so calm,
I feel my mother's warming palm.

Truth be Told
Halo Feb 2018
Truth be told I love a boy.
He rocks my world and he lives in another.
There are stars in his eyes and he sees beauty in everything.
We are made for one another.

But Truth be told boy,
You're already dead.
Hit by a smooth criminal right in the head.

Truth be told boy,
You should've seen it coming.
That "Angel" of yours is really just a siren.
She plays on your emotions and your heartbreak.
Dude she's not from heaven.
Let her go.

— The End —
