It's like being stuck on the same simple simile
something or other about the sunshine and your smile
waking up to a single sheet
bare feet, frozen
black coffee, scalding
Sweeping winds tousling hair just like
  someone.

What to do, what to do,
when even dreams are not a refuge?
What are you, what are you,
another smoking pile of refuse?

What's new with you?
Don't look so confused.

I'm sticking around like dead leaves in gutters
A sudden remembrance about something or other
Waking up to a single light
bare hands, sweaty
open mouth, dry
Pouring rain drenching clothes just like
  somewhere.

What to do, what to do,
when even dreams are not a refuge?
What are you, what are you,
another smoking pile of refuse?

And you haven't got a clue.
Don't be so amused.
Night fell over the land
Washing it in it's foreboding shadow
The wind whistled a tune promising tragedy
The symphony of a thousand hooves beating the earth
Sang along with the gust of the nights frosty breath
Cries of war hanging overhead

"Here come the Knights!"
Men cheered as they readied for battle
Armor draping over flesh
Swords thrusting, piercing the sky

"This night our savior shall prevail!"
The men declared
Placing their souls in the hands of one
They hoist themselves upon their steed

"We ride tonight, We ride to fight!"
A roar of agreement breaks through the darkness
Cloaked in their will to live
They rode out with a thousand demons on their trail

"We will not surrender!"
They shouted a promise so thick with emotion
"We fight for our women, our children, our land!"
They cried a devotion only a warrior could hold
"We fight, our souls be ******!"

How Men truly get caught up
You come
to this broken heart,
this dry desert of a soul,
this broken and empty vessel,
and You come,
You come like rain,
a hurricane,
storming into this soul,
dancing your way in,
and You bring rays of light
and streams of joy,
and You shine through the
imperfection,
You make me alive,
You make glory out of nothing,
You build a home out of these ruins,
You make beauty out of brokenness,
You make these dry bones live.

Adele
She's the kind of girl
who is half of a whole
Her body is art, drawing lines
coming from her heart
The pain she endures,
Putting sadness away from her soul.

They put her down
crawling on the ground.
Her face... so full of frown!

Stop hating, start loving
You may be hurting
but this life isn't about crying
It's about smiling
and creating a rainbow
that makes a heart glow.

Can I reach & grab your hand?
Letting you know
I understand.

Doing this to yourself
won't let you see the real world.
It's because darkness
covers the light.

It's in you to make things right!
And it's never too late
for you to realize.
Come on, get up and try.

You are beautiful,
don't tell me that you're not.
Because we are all born to be
and will always be.

This is for the girl I found on instagram. Her account disturbed me a lot. I don't know why she hated herself (your photos told me that you're beautiful) I hope time will come that you'll stop cutting. I want you to be happy and ignore the negativities. Look how beautiful the world is. You have friends and family that cares for you. You are loved! It may be weird but I want to hug and tell you, 'I'm here to help and together, let's cast that darkness away.' The thing is, this is the only thing I can do. Help yourself. Hold on and be strong :)

Mystery Girl
I can see it
In the faces of couples
I can hear it
In the words they say
I can feel it
Around my family
But I'll never have it
With a man of my own
Inspired by: She's Like the Wind-Patrick Swayze ft. Wendy Fraser
You never left in mind, only
Body .

Shoddy job,
Too.

One minute there,
Next minute gone.

Gone
For minutes long.

The days.
The daze.

The haze in this valley
Couldn't hide the moon,
Only amplify it.

Just like you.
I do still have that scar.
