this is the moon's
quiet rose, the unfolding
of the clouds, tranquility
resting her head,
the beautiful sea.
the best poet on hello poetry
they keep to themself
they hardly communicate with others
they're writing stays on the shelf

the best poet on hello poetry
writes down what's in their head
no poetry sisters and brothers
they are the one who is never read

The emptiest hearts,
Are the heaviest to carry.
thinking back to my unloving crimes
back then i was lost, and i was blind

back then i never believed in never

i didn't see your light that shines
i missed the love, i missed the signs

i never knew our ties would sever

if i could hold you just two more times
once for my heart, and once for my mind

in that moment i would live forever
When the crowd leaveth,
We seeith who the real ones art...
this is a world of contradiction

simple facts erased by complex lies

they have a thing called a smile

but they only use it when it benefits them


i just want to come home


they have a large homeless population

that doesn't out-number the empty houses

they spit on those who would beg

and wish them the worst


i just want to come home


they have a thing called collateral damage

taking lives over an opinion

they only seem to value themselves

and material items


please, let me come home
