And so, she gave herself release.
A slow gentle tear made its way down her scarred cheek and fell.
It froze midair and shattered on the frost coated Earth,
next to the still cooling corpse.
The girls rubbing her arms,
trying to coax life into her.
But there was just bleak nothing.
The tears fell faster, freezing faster,
until her eyes froze shut.

And so, the scarred, frozen, broken girl laid down
to die with her companion.
The world mourned No One
As No One became a lifeless shell.

Why squeeze into the tiny paths
created by the society
Conformity can sometimes
come in the way of creativity

It does feel weird to be different
But if your heart dictates another path
Why then go with the crowd
Why open the door to a feeling of emptiness and unhappiness

The fear of failure or
the thoughts of what
would people say or think
could be a stumbling block
But the empty feeling of not
chasing one's dream is actually worse.

I don't crave love
I don't crave hate
I don't crave joy
I don't crave innocence
I don't crave what makes others seem so...
human

All I crave is peace

here stands a skeleton
of a girl who’s heart is all she
has left and in her aching,
that heart’s last beat will
be for a love only found
up above.

-turns out only one person can save me

Lord please meet me here
at the foot of your cross.

I will bow down
right before you,
sing my praise
to your name.
For uou have done
such great things for us.
You have called
your heaven down
to the broken world below you.
O! You cleanse
me to the shade
of your innocence.
For you heal the world
after we broke it.

Lord please meet me here
at the foot of your cross.

There is power in Your name
It puts strength in the legs of the lame
It gives hearing to deaf ears
And puts words in the mute mouth
Your name paves ways where there's none
Your name is our shield and comfort
We are heirs of your promise
Your name is our everything.
Glory to God
