Many times I have been lost,
yet you set me back onto my path,
Even though it became unsteady,
you were there to guide me as needed.

When life plays a difficult card,
your strength overcomes the challenge,
like a knight you have fought for me,
and offered the safety of your arms.

Though you have caused me pain,
I have done the same to you,
despite our fears we have shown,
that our life for each other is our life.

I would fall from the sky for you,
as your eyes replenish my soul,
for the comfort you provide,
feels as though I'm in the arms of an angel.

So often I stare in your eyes,
asking the same simple question;
of why?

Why,
are you not happy with what you see?
for you have grown beautifully..

Why,
must you paint your face to look?
so many hearts you took..

Why,
is your tiny figure not enough?
you have become so tough..

Why,
must you always compare?
you've become too aware..

Why,
will you never love yourself?
a prize worthy of your own shelf..

Why,
do you choose to remain blind?
just look and you will find..

Everything that I see in you,
a beauty that is true.

The wind slices through my hair,
     like a knife through butter,

My skin embraces the feeling,
     like the warmth of a mother.

My fingers slowly graze the grass I stand upon,
     then suddenly tighten as I gasp for air.

My eyes stare blankly into the sky,
     as my lungs begin to tear.

They fill quickly with dust and small rocks,
     making it impossible to breathe.

My legs are weak and shake forcefully,
     I am summoned on to my knee's.

I willingly open my arms wide,
     accepting the future ahead of me.

As my skin disintegrates I'm released,
     my soul has finally become free.

Chaos fills my surroundings,
     with screams from the innocent.

The world is crumbling quickly,
     the situation arising causes content.

I have been absorbed into the chaos,
     I have become a fear.

I am what haunts you as you plead,
     your love to those who are dear.

You perceive this to be a disaster,
     yet to me it is a master piece of art.

The chaos will not end,
     until I have absorbed your heart.

His laughter boils the blood,
that courses through each vein,
Every second that I am forced,
to listen makes me insane.

Chaos, he brings quickly about,
to the voices inside my head.
"Be nice, be calm, bear it."
"**** that, I want him dead!"

The pressure swells; rising,
soon I will lose my control-
"Just let me hit him once,
I'll only make a tiny hole!"

"No! You are better than this."
I try and try to fight it, I do-
"Only a few more days," I say,
*"Then it will all be through."

Each month we rejoiced,
gathering to celebrate life.
Each month we recognized,
our achievements and efforts.

Each month I waited,
with genuine joy for others,
Each month that passed,
brought my day closer.

The month came about,
and still I must wait.
For the one who decides,
was not present 'til late.

Days passed ever so slow,
though I remained excited.
He returned on the day,
that my break came about.

My two days passed,
I came prepared for it.
Little did I know,
it happened without me.

They took the day I waited for,
blindly away from me.
No one thought to call,
and ask me to be part.

Instead, I was disregarded,
my turn came and yet it didn't.
This morning my heart was sad,
for it would not be.

Every night that I lye in bed,
one single thought roams through my head,
of how I always dreamed of you,
but I never thought my dreams would come true.

When I'm with you I have no cares,
because of you my heart has been spared,
you have shown me how beautiful life can be,
you have opened the door as wide as the sea.

Every time you look in to my eyes,
I can't suppress this feeling of surprise,
you make me overwhelmed with joy,
I love the way you make me your toy.

I'm falling deeper in love as every moment passes by,
I could not be more grateful that you gave "us" a try,
who knew that my life would take me your way,
it was unexpected but I'm here to stay.

Every time you begin to softly speak,
your delicious lips make me ever so weak,
the sweet whisper of your words,
are more amazing than songs of a bird.

I knew one thing by the way you touched my heart,
from this point on you and I would never be apart,
without you I could never be complete,
I would lose myself left unable to overcome defeat.

Since I have met you it has become clear,
I am now able to look in to the face of fear,
you are what I have spent my time searching for,
you are everything I could want and even more.

She was cursed from her day of birth,
as she entered with an inevitable disease,
all structures are brittle from the start,
but since then her pain has not eased.

Life begins in such a fragile state,
equal beginnings as we're all disadvantaged,
throughout it all only one thing matters,
do you possess the will to manage?

Time after time it happens again,
her inner solidity has been broken,
she was once held together perfectly,
and now the truth remains unspoken.

Her instructions were full of deceit,
for the healers could not possibly know,
as they protected her from further damage,
in shame her head lay low.

She was punished with anger,
from pain she could not prevent,
she wondered why she was tortured,
her life was full of discontent.

She suffered emotionally as well,
for her heart was pure,
throughout her tragedies in life,
it's known that nothing great is for sure.
