I am not like you,
I do not have your eyes
Saturated with cunning and hate,
covering lies.

I am not like you,
I do not have your smile.
I do not receive happiness
From another's child.

I am not like you,
I do not own a vacant heart.
I have found another
Who will fulfill your part.

I am not like you,
I do not prey for attention;
Isolation has acquainted with
Me since then.

I am imagination,
but I am reality.
I am not like you, I am
**Me.
When will art die?
Maybe when darkness covers the sky,
Or when we **** each other in atomic war
And our bombs destroy the earth's core
Will art fade away?
When there's nothing left to say,
Will art go out with the sun?
Or be taken away with a gun,
What will be the last song or dance?
Will it end in Kansas, or Paris France?
Who'll make the last painting?
Will they know? Their hands shaking,
Will anyone even cry?
On the day art will die...
But i have to admit,
Seeing the end would be quite a hit,
Second only to the beginning,
When art goes out exploding
Because starving doesn't hurt as bad
As looking in the mirror.

Because dragging a thin piece of metal
Across my skin, gives the pain a place to live.

Because when it's dark and I'm alone
There's no more voices to say "No."

Because I know it'll be hard for you
To understand- thats why I'll give you a hand.

Because I know how badly you want
To know me. But help me understand this-

Are you ready?
It's getting harder to fight. He wants to get to know me.. But who would want to know *this*?
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow—
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream:
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.

I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand—
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep
While I weep—while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?
We were engulfed in flames
Or maybe we just dug ourselves into a hole
too deep for escape
Maybe we promised too much
too soon
But maybe it was never meant
for me and you.
I care not for what may come
I fear not for who I'll be
But I care for what I'll be
I fear for who will come

Make that empty heart red
Don't leave it sad and grey
It takes one click you know
To make the rest of my day
BEGGING FOR LIKES
(not really, it rhymes)
Show me a ghetto and I'll show you a place
A place of struggle and pain
A place about people complain
A desert of hope and grace
The home of the weak
Clawing to make something
Struggling to become someone
Doing whatever they can
Carrying drugs and or a gun
The boys in the hood are always hard
One wrong step and they'll pull your card
Knowing nothing in life but to be legit
If you **** that up,  you dont mean ****
I miss you,

Like you were a thousand miles away
Oh if we could only stay together, but a,
Vile world plugs us apart...
Encouraging our separation,

You're the one i love most
Only you now and forevermore, soon our
Union will be sealed, my future Mrs. Lyles
