No matter how hard we try,
How much we fight,
How much we work,
How many we ****,
How many we hurt,
How many we loved,
How many loved us,

**We are all forgotten eventually.

Why is it that impressions on a page express more than my words ever can?

Why is it that I can not speak the emotions that ink can easily represent?

Why can't I just live behind these scribbles and hide from the world?

These are the questions that I need answers to. But only **one person can answer them...

It's frozen solid,
Too cold to touch.
It just wants another,
Is that asking too much?

It needs to find,
Another that shares the ice.
It wants to find,
Another who's cold, yet nice.

It doesn't require her to melt it free,
Just someone who can realize that it is me.

My eyes racing from word to word,
I hold in my hands a whole new world.

With these scratches on this page,
Today I'm a spy, tomorrow a mage.

I'm on a journey to the center of the earth,
Then I'm a teen questioning his worth.

I'm a girl suffering from cancer,
Then I'm Santa rushing Prancer.

I'm an assassin on the hunt,
Then a footballer about to punt.

I'm the boy chasing the girl,
Then in 80 days I circle the world.

I'm a man in an iron suit,
Then I'm a death god craving fruit.

Behind these words is where I live,
But believe me, It's a world I would never give.
Reading pretty much everything I can get my hands on lately. From novels to comic books to poetry to manga.

Grab the knife which leaks ink,
And scratch your emotions into dead trees.

Let the knife bleed your life,
Onto the corpses of our source of breeze.
Welcome to what it's like to be inside my brain haha xD

Just a kid,

In a little house,
In a little city,
In a little county,
In a little island.

In a big ocean,
In a big planet,
In a big galaxy,
In a big universe.
Just a kid. Simple as that

I write when I feel like it,
Always have.

I don't pleed for anguish,
To feed my poems.

I don't beg for heartbreak,
But in fairness I don't need to.

I don't request sadness,
Which others crave for "inspiration."

I just sit back,
Take the hits,
And write.

Do people enjoy my poetry?
I think they do.
But I dont hope they do.
I enjoy writing it anyway,
So it's not as if I'm going to stop.
Bit of a rough day. Just thought I'd do a little writing. Always cheers me up xD
