A picture is worth
but a thousand words
just as a footstep
is only as far
as the mind allows
them to be
because a mile
in someone’s shoes is the
words of someone’s picture

A kiss is the love
that is said
without saying anything
just as a clock
counts down to
the death that
always comes
because a kiss can be
a loved ones’ death

A headache is painless
to those who live it
every day just as
a bird’s song is long
to those who never
hear its sweet sound
because what headache
could ever resist
a sweet bird’s song

Bleed

In beautiful shades of red
while no one is around
so no one can hear
your blissful cries that escape
no matter how hard you try
because everyone has the right to bleed

Bleed because you can
just as everyone can
nothing makes it special
it's just yours unlike everything else
just remember
that everyone has the right to bleed

Bleed because of sorrow and happiness
because those laughs
that you pull yourself off the ground with
because those tears
that you bury your love one to
because everyone has the right to bleed

Let fire consume the world
the it wash away your soul
let it burn you away like coal
let it prosper
let it spire
let it burn you away
like fire

Flowing down
hot and steamy
as you pound into
my skin to the
deepest level of
relaxation calming
ever pore you touch

You wash away
my pains and fears
with kisses placed
upon my mouth
and cheek and
make me forget everything
as you **** away my breath

You fit next
to my body filling
inn all the open
space as you lay
beside me with
your head on my
shoulder and eyes on mine

Strong
Strong like the wind
blowing in your face
Strong like the sea
pounding into the cliffs
Strong like the mountains
towering into the sky
Strong like the bullied kid
still dragging himself to school
Strong like a forest
standing after a hurricane
Like them all
you are strong

Smart
Smart like the doctor
keeping people alive
Smart like the supercomputer
solving countless problem after problem
Smart like the hunter
tracking his prey
Smart like the student
making another A
Smart like the mouse
finding his way through a maze
Like them all
you are smart

Fast
Fast like the bullet
speeding out of a gun
Fast like the track runner
crossing one of many finish lines
Fast like the tornado
rushing through the country side
Fast like the cheetah
chasing down victim-less prey
Fast like the heart
pounding fiercely in your chest
Like them all
you are fast

Beautiful
Beautiful like the sun
gleaming in the sky
Beautiful like the landscape
running off into the horizon
Beautiful like the model
walking down the runway
Beautiful like the words
spread across the page of a love letter
Beautiful like the strokes
of a painting hanging high
Like them all
you are beautiful

Unique
Unique like the child
born with purple eyes
Unique like your heart
belonging only to you
Unique like the wings
of a bird flying to no where
Unique like the fire
burning in its pit
Unique like today
for it only happens once
Like them all
You are unique

Bright summer green haloed the pupils of her eyes
as wisp of yellow flames found their way
into the crease and creases that the green bypassed.
Her eyes pressed sooth and silkily
into her smooth soft skin.
Her lips parted slightly
but remained closed
showing no teeth as she smiled.
A smile that could warm and calm anyone
but you knew it was meant for you.

Be a wallflower
why be anything else
No drama no fights
just understanding
Problems are  in the past
with few side steps

Be a ****
why be anything else
Drunken parties wreak less fights
just football and girls
School isn't a worry
Dads shop always has an opening

Be a prep
why be anything else
Drama galore clubs
just sweater vest and slim hair
Private schools the dream
parents flipping the bill anyway

Be a goth
why be anything else
Dark clothes death aura
just hate people
Screamo and death metal
will drown any problems out

Be a gamer
why be anything else
Role play first person shooter
just mountain dew and Cheetos
Where else is there to be
on a Saturday night

Be a geek
why be anything else
Grades glasses
Just band and study sessions
Being picked on isn't so bad
when you're not alone

Be an emo
why be anything else
Shy lost
just hate the world
Nothing a few razors and pills
can't solve

Be you
why be anything else
Personalities favorites
just love who you are
You are what best friends
are made of

Devilish and creative
with flurries of twisting
wild tangles that flow down
backs into messy ponytails
You must be a brunette

Sassy and outgoing
turning heads of strangers
straight down past most
shoulders seamlessly
You must be a blonde

Unusual and weird
a stranger to all
draped flat against heads
as if it were all one piece
You must be a red-head

Fixed is a normal that everyone wishes,
broken is the different that everyone wants.
Fixed is the laughing and playing in a sun,
broken is the crying and shooting of a gun.
Fixed is a gift under a tree,
broken is a frightening plea.
Fixed is the love of a mother,
broken is the lost child.
The fixed want to be broken,
the broken long to be fixed.
The fixed want to feel pain,
the broken don't want to feel anymore.

Slaves to our imagination
Is the worst type of slavery
There can possibly be
For then you are a slave to yourself
A slave to what you think is ideal
When you truly don't know
What is best for you
It is that other who does
Who sees you and not who you should be
Nor what you can be
They see you for you
And that's all you should want to be
