I was once a strong
Knight
Smart even
But
I'm not as sharp
As I once was
My armor grows
Heavy
But I can't bring
Myself to take it off

My Queen has became
Afraid of this monster
I stood my ground
And fought it off
I didn't defeat it
She became
Terrified
My sword
Cracked and chipped
My shield
Scratched and dented
As long as my
Helmet
Was fine she wouldn't
Know that I was
Terrified of this monster

You seek for a king
But all I am is a
Knight
A king no more
I've failed once before
So I made myself
Stronger but gave up
My crown
For my armor

I sleep alot
I don't mean to
I hate sleeping
When its not time
Everytime I wake
The feeling comes
My heart slowly
Pumps faster and then
I realize
I would never know
If my heart had
Stopped

They said I could
Be anything
They said I could
Do anything
They were wrong
I try so hard
And what am I?
Only third rate
I could never be
The one they wanted

It matters not
How hard one
Works
Only if
Someone
Notice

It's so warm
Yet wet
And the smell
slightly potent
I could move
But
I was free
I knew
But
Then I didn't
I never knew
How beautiful
It was

No one likes a
Knight who returns
On time but they sure
Love one who's
Late
They were both there
But one had to go back
The one that was sent
Home had to go through
The feeling of
Not being there
This knight began
To hate themselves
While the other
Was left there protecting
Their prize
They waited and waited
For the other knight
Rarely did they show
On the day of return
Everyone loved the
Missing knight
Though the knight
Had returned the other
Knight hate for themselve
Did not end

They ask me if I'm
Overwhelmed
I tell them
No
Then they ask
Don't you ever get tired or anything
I respond with
Not really
They ask questions
About me but I know
The question
They want to ask

They say
Whats yous is
Mine and
What mine is
Yours
Hers could never
Be mine
But mine are hers
I guess
Whats mine is
Yours and whats
Yours is yours

I started out knowing
Next to nothing
I had nothing to
Offer them
But they kept
Me
I messed up a lot
All my friends were
Way better than me
Yet they chose me
To be a team
Not everyone can
Be on
They said
I was one of the
Only ones that kept
Trying to do better
That was my first year
But now I'm
Wrong Way

I was always told
That being apart of a
Team
Was the greatest thing
But when I look at
This one
I feel like we hold
Ourselves back
We manage to
Accomplish our goals
But time is never
In our favor

As a knight
I must protect
My Queen
I'll be her servant
Until she no longer
Needs me
She'll never know
The sight of sorrow
Upon my face
Only the reassuring
Hope that everything
Will be ok

She just lays in my lap
Most of the time
When she doesn't
She plays with my hair
Bating it back and forth
She looks at me with her
Big hazel eyes
Her fur so soft
And pure
I'll never let her go

I can't make art
I can see it
In reality and
In mind but
I can never make it
I start to think
I see in my mind
I can't show anyone

They're all better
I can think of the most
Fantastic
Brilliant
Of thinks
But thats where they remade
As thoughts
Never to be seen
For I don't have the talent
But they do

Even thougb they aren't there
I can still feel them
The dead cold grip
Digging into my skin
Restricting my movement
Some see that I'm bounded
And ask
Why do I stil wear them
I tell them
If i take them off
New ones will take there place
The links may be broken
But I'm still bounded

I always seem to
Be there when they
Talk
They never notice
I always get the
Gossip of the day
They make the
Mistake
Of gossiping in front
Of me
The gossip some how
Gets passed along

I put my
Heart and soul
Into it everyday
But they think it's
All a ******* joke
All the sweat and
Blood
I put into it
And they don't
Want to even make
An attempt besides
Showing up

Look at them
They were so weak
But they found
Their own strength
They started climbing
They've made it
Pretty far
The furthest
But they still have
A long way to go
I guess we'll wait
Until they reach the top

We're his best class
Grade wise
That's it
Everytime he blows up
It only last a few minutes
At worst
His feeling running
Wild outside of him
For such a short time
Obsidian surrounds us
Trying to straighten us
Back into order
It only last the day
Though
Before someone breaks
Through

Its just so easy
Why do I try so hard
When I cos end it all
Its only a bit away
Ready to do the job
If I let it
Eyes turn into
Waterfalls
Then it's over

You'll get them next time
They always say that
I know its not true
no matter what
There's at least one
I could go the extra
Mile and some went
The extra two
Just knowing you are
Every single time
Is too much

How did it all
Come back to this
Everything I tried
To escape my pain
Fails I'm bounded
To it all
Arrows shot by haters
Find there home
Inside my heart
All I can do is
Lick my wounds
The only thing is
I help ease others pain

I was told by my father
"A man should never cry
But for only a death"
When you hate yourself
As long as you can remember
You tend to cry for things
You do
But I always had to force
Myself to stop or I'd
Disappiont my father
So I hid my feelings
Still visible but out off
Sight

Everywhere you look
There's an infinite
Combination of colors
I want people to be hooked
But their gaze never last
I slave away with my knit
Of needles and thread
Trying to fix the torn
Blanket that our mothers
Worked so *******
piece by piece

They say such hollow words
There's nothing backing them
They seem happy at times
It never last though
They say they love me
I know they really
Hate me

Why would anyone
Want the knockoff
When they could have
Something better
They ignore me
Only noticing when
They want something
Being a knockoff *****
You're alway compared
To the original

You people are just amazing
I could never do what you do
You all have your reasons I'm sure
But those who do it just to do it
Are amazing
I try to like you
I try to do how you do
It doesn't work I know
But I just want to accepted
My hearts to weak right now
I wish I could put more into it
But it's been
Step on
Broken into pieces
Torn apart
There isn't much to put in
But it is slowly getting fixed
I'm afraid I wont see the day
Where my children
Will be among-est
You people

They don't sew me
They only see the me
They want to see
They see do things
That seem bizarre
They can't figure it out
That I'm all the things
They see and more

I've lived most of my life
Trying to meet others
Expectation
Trying to do something
I know I can't
But they thinks it's
Funny
I'm forced to be
Reminded of my failures
For they are everywhere

When you become
A ghost
You lose something
Your appearance
Is said be a faction
Of what it used to
I guess some don't
Have that problem
Or she's just
That beautiful

I could do the most amazing thing
I could do something thought Impossible
But it doesn't matter
I wont ever get full credit
Even if i did it on my own
They will question me
There alway has to be
A reason why I did it
But they wont accept
I just wanted to know of I could

She saw me
She sees me
All the time but
Not like this
She saw me
In a weaken state
My shell
Was no more

Some people say I don't
Care about most things
They're half right
They say I have no
Heart
Thats true
I gave it to someone
Special
They say I'm never happy
But they never  seen
Me witb her

She just so
Perfect
Her hair so calm
And steady
Her eyes so
Full of compassion
Now she does
Have her flaws
But my love for her
Is strong enough
To overlook those

Click
No not right
Maybe more light
Click
No still not right
Something more flashy
Click
NO
More makeup
Click
Almost
New pose
Click
There now I can just barely
See the real you

They used to be
Magnificent
At one point
I'd dream to
Be with them
After that I
Eventually did
But over the years
My love dwindle
And now I wonder
Why I stay
Could it be
The people
The game
Who knows
People ask
Who is this person
But the truth is
They're not a person

Some people had at least
One person for them
Growing up
But I
Never had that
I was always on
My own
I've learned
That I
Give some pretty good
Advice
I started thinking to myself
Telling myself things
That weren't always true
I soon lost touch with people
Most had no idea
I was suffering
They all had no clue
Of how long
I don't know
What to do
Or how to fix myself

They tell me it'll get better
As long as I keep trying
But when I try
I have to stop
I get too into it
I can hear
See
Them laughing
At me
When I'm all
Alone

It's amazing
How people take things
For granite
Some people don't see
The luxury of having
Some one cook for you
A minute ago
I was cooking
And the smell brought
A tear to my eye
Because it smelled
Just like the one
They never made
