Face yourself
In front of the mirror
Can you tolerate?
The reflection
Or makes you cringe
In an endeavor
To mask the reality
Another face becomes true
Which may not be you

We're just kids battling depression
We're just children battling anxiety
We're just teens battling stress
We're just not quite adults battling fear
We're just at that age battling nothing really matters
We're just kids battling bullies
We're just children battling stupid *****
We're just teens battling terrifying stereotypes
*We're just kids

A lonely man buries his head
A sad man buries the past
A forgiving man buries the hatchet
A man in mourning buries a loved one

What can be read?
Without the reading.
Seen without the seeing.
Felt without the being.
Gone before the morning.
Lost long after mourning.

Please. Pull the trigger, why don't you?
Become a murderer. A sinner.
A criminal.
People will spit upon you in the street,
Their hardly masked disgust wizened old men.
Are you really that willing?
So go on.
**Pull the **** trigger.

When your true soul mate is near,
The world becomes more beautiful,
The colours more vibrant,
And it seems that everything will be ok.

When your true soul mate strays afar,
The world becomes more ugly,
The colours more dull,
And it seems that everything will be different.

When your true soul mate has passed away,
The world becomes more depressing,
The colours more black and white,
And it seems that everything will be breaking.

When your true soul mate comes back to keep you company,
The world becomes more manageable,
The colours more tinted and full of life,
And it seems that everything will be alright once more.

He gave me a choice, you know.
Have a will of my own, or follow Him into battle.
One bite. One bite to free us all.
Did I dare?
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes!
I dared to be intoxicated, be blamed for it all.
Bite, chew, swallow.
He gave me a choice.
And I dared to take the wrong path.

It lies in my blood stream

Flowing slowly though my veins

cloudy vision, thick blood, to my heart it pertains.



Following the path as if set in stone,

haunting me to the core,

haunting me to the bone.



My hearts been palpitating since the moment we met,

since that first gentle touch, and that kiss of death.



But I’ll suffer an eternity if it’ll feel like this,

You’re my lovely poison, my toxic bliss.
