They say its for our future
They say its for the better
They say its meant to set us right
But do they realize,
That were putting up a fight?

The building is the jail
The classrooms are our cells
And we,
Are the criminals

But of what crime?
Is youth our punishment
If so,
Could we meet death?

Forget this hell
In which the flames are sharp
With every word they speak
These devils make us weak

The inmates beside us
All tough and cruel
Or only do they seem

Behind their masks
Are their broken tears
With the pain of this hell
Which we hoped wasn't real

And then they say
This is for you my dear
With lies they fill up our ears

Yet,
One day i hope
That i can be set free
Either by my time
Or by a friend i have longed to greet

Death, my dear
Set me free
Before they take me away
And refine me

Into one of them
Who have no sense of individuality
For they have gone through this jail
Which they call reality

But for us,
It always is,
And always will be
The prison of a youth

Our Song

Forever and always
Was our song
We were each others
But now its all wrong

I miss your smile
Your eyes,
Your voice
I miss you

For now, I have nothing
Except memories of our past
Since you have moved on

On to another song.

But I miss it,
The days we spent
The moments we shared
But most of all
I miss that song we called ours

Many say, the cure to boredom
Is at the feet of friends, at the feet of family
And everything that's lived day by day; in reality

But, is it really?
Is this the cure to my pain?
How can that be, for you see
My problem is this so called cure,
For insanity

I do not wish to be like others
Yet, only to be me
I do not wish to be surrounded by others
Yet, to be only with me

Yes, Some call it lonely
But,
I enjoy this solitude, for when i am alone
I feel truly at home

And when that is,
I am happy not bored
Nor and Never will I be
Lonely

Because to me,
Just ‘cuz you're lonely, doesn't mean you're alone
So for me, i will always be me
When i'm all alone
In my true home.

Blank
Blank sheet
Blank sheet asks
Blank sheet asks to
Blank sheet asks to hear
Blank sheet asks to hear my
Blank sheet asks to hear my song.
Some days, I don't have any music.
Some days, I don't have any
Some days, I don't have
Some days, I don't
Some days, I
Some days,
Some

Only **words.
I wish I could be
so invisible and free
then none cold grasp me
.....................................

Dunes do change daily
so you guide by stars at night
for winds of change blow
.........................................

She howls like banshees
through the tress barren of leaves
this seasons favourite
...............................................

Blow the ship ashore
give the captains crew mercy
not fast to the rocks
..............................................

Sweet winds blow your hair
oh how beautiful you look
as it flutters wild
...............................................

Bird song in high winds
I am sure you will hear none
for it takes all song
............................................

Capsized is the yacht
three trapped in a air pocket
will any survive
..........................................

It is so cold here
damp with a lack of fresh air
can not die in here
.............................................

By open window
I greet you with a deep breath
oh glory to you
.........................................

Carbon is airborne
atoms that are carried in the air
breath someone today

It's my own fault.
I always knew it was but I kept denying it.
Which is normal I think because who likes to admit that something bad was their fault but denying it doesn't make it less true.
I guess I just looked for an excuse or someone to blame, someone else.
No one wants to face their mistakes but everyone wants to fix each other.
I still don't understand why people put so much effort in fixing the broken even if they succeed it's going to hell anyway.
So I close my eyes, save a little prayer and hope when I wake up I can start over again.
Darkness may come ,
The rain may fall.
Whats there to believe,
If you've lost it all?

Trust in yourself and the world my be free.
The darkness will have no hold on thee.
