I will always be afraid of broken teeth
With blood in my mouth when everyone leaves
I have the tendency to bite my tongue
And I ask myself, "What's it like to breathe?"

To live life with ease is an unfortunate trait
My hands are stubborn when my mind wants to create
I still see your face when I'm barely asleep
I've screamed into foam to get out of this state

The vibration of jazz slips through my bones
My parents aren't allowed to leave me alone
I cannot wait to return to my jungle
After all, that's my only home

Apparently, my brain has been out of tune
My medication should be kicking in soon
That is the solution to this generation, right?
For the kids born ******* on a golden spoon

I can't lay in my bed if it's never made
I can't face my fears if I'm never afraid
I want to lead a revolution
I would give my life for kids to be brave

There are so many people that I want to defend
There are so many times when I want to pretend
That everything is running so smoothly
But I'm still praying that the youth will transcend

And while we're on the subject of praying
I am not religious, it's spiritual I'm staying
However, I will respect your views
Unless it's the innocent that you are slaying

I cannot organize the thoughts in my head
Is there really peace in knowing you're dead?
It's 11:04 on a Tuesday night
I suppose this means I should go to bed
If I could be anything I'd like to be rain
I could supply all the world and cause terrible pain
I could be a drop on my own or never be alone
And in falling I would feel no shame

I could try my best to make this world clean
And land on things human eyes haven't seen
I could flood the whole earth leaving no remains
Because I could be anything and I would be rain
Today I find myself comfortably numb
My brain has gone silent, my emotions feel dumb
I will find warmth in a Moonlight Sonata
In an empty room filled with no sunlight
I will tell myself to live, I’ll say that I’ve got to
But looking around, how does one live?
I hear a voice, it says I must protest
Keep your focus, do not digress
For sleep, from you, has been solemnly taken
Until you leave a mark, the world must be shaken
I have proven to you that you are not a priority
And to surrounding people you are rarely picked
You do not exist to the vast majority
And you are left to die, you are left to be sick
So you must force yourself to leave quite the impression
And the world will know it was you, nonetheless
Get yourself out of this depression
And give everyone what you have left
I found closure in the idea that I was free
But the one who was chained down, I saw it was me
I reached for a helping hand; I felt my left take my right
How beautifully remarkable, what an incredible sight
And then my brain began to defrost
How cold and lonely; I was no longer lost
Without myself I was surely deserted
The evidence cannot be destroyed  
And I made a promise, it can’t be averted
I have lived for too long in this void
How lovely you seem, how lovely you are
Your body has hidden most of your scars
So get yourself ready and get yourself dressed
Pick up your courage, pretend you are blessed
Sky
My love for you is the sky
Never ending
And when I feel that my heart has taken its beating
I will reach for you, but never touch
Each star resembles a new reason
A reason for which I love you
And they shine, bright
And I hope they never dull
Because there will be no more room for new stars
Your mood is the sky
Changing colors so uniquely
But always beautiful, like you
And when the sky rains upon me
My imagination runs free
Rain drops turn to kisses
And somehow I can feel your careful lips
The hardest winds that blow
Cannot come close to the way that you ******* away
And only you
But when you speak harsh words
Your love, my sky, it hits me with bolts of lightening
And I cannot recover
Your eyes are curious, always looking for reasons
They are my moon
And I wish to live in them forever
Your glances light up even the darkest of my nights
And I could never escape them
Your smiles
They are my rainbows
Full of joy and mystery
I want to know where they really end
But I don't want them to
Because I love you
I am far too timid to touch my lips to yours
Even when you want to
I know that nothing in this world could compare
You provide me with oxygen, giving me life
And I promised you I'd never ruin that
I wouldn't...
I couldn't...
Your mind is the clouds
It can easily take you over
And it can also paint extraordinary pictures
I wish I could touch them, your thoughts, my clouds
But what if they dissipate?
I beg you, please don't ever leave me
Because I couldn't live...
Without...
My Sky.
I am the silence
I am the sound
I am the sky
When I am the ground
I am the body
I am the soul
I can be country
When I'm Rock and Roll
I am the rain
I am the sun
I'll be your safety
When I am the gun
I am the prisoner
I am escape
Trust me, I'm broken
But I'll be your tape
I am the ice
I am the fire
I am the hate
And I'm the desire
I am myself
But I can be you
I could be false
Or I could be true
I am the player
I am the game
I am the crazy
When I am the sane
So let this be a lesson to both you and me
I could be a spirit so careless and free
Or I could be serious, full of anger and hate
But only you can determine my fate.

— The End —
