Happiness is not far; yet not too close
The wind whips by, like a chilling ghost
Every thought and every action stands idly by
Until the violent rupture stares me in the eye.

Happiness teases in the most displeasing way
It tricks and alludes in all the common ways
Although your eyes; they cannot see
For it deceives, both you and me

Happiness is a fallacy; this is all that is true
You cannot depend, on anyone but you
You mustn't cry at the alterations
Focus only on, your narration.

Calling someone fat,
Doesn't make you skinny.

Calling someone ugly,
Doesn't make you pretty.

Calling some one stupid,
Doesn't make you smart.

When your in high school,
You sure learn a lot.

Don't act innocent,
Your just malcontent.

Kicking someone when there down,
Doesn't earn you a crown.

Holding someone's life in your hands,
Doesn't make you king of the lands.

Like a bird in the sky, flying high
Or a fish that swims in the waves of amber
Don't wanna be locked in a chamber
Don't wanna be stuck in a tank; a lower class rank
Don't wanna be held down, told what to do, does anyone happen to feel this way too
Brings a tear to my eyes, my soul full of fears.

I seem to disappear in this dangerous world
stuck in the middle and the fault is my own,
just apart of this life's stepping stones, no one around me, day dreams,
and thoughts of how things could be, but then I'm shaken awake,
and from my mind there embezzled, Try to get away,
but to this life I am glued, its my independence day, it will be pursued!

Failure is Everywhere
Its Everything
And Anything

Can't you feel it
As it creeps around your body
Every situation
Every moment that your living

It ties its adhesive tentacles
Tightly around your neck
Intoxicated by its grip
You sway and stumble

Failure is Watching
Its Waiting
And its Anticipating
Laurie Fisher Oct 2011
Possibility is the killer
Its the force that will destroy me
My worst enemy
Shes looking right at me
I see it and I believe it
and it makes sense
Logical in these weary eyes
Could I step out and concur this world
The answer is definite
The truth; solitary I am bound
Greatness lies within these eyes
Doubt in every mirror
Do it tonight
Conquer this decimate land
But these weary eyes see all angles
Widening and constricting
Disturbing my perceptions
I'll close these eyes
Just for tonight
Over whelmed with the possibility

Every time I wake
These feelings always quake
In my head
They start to grow
And I can't stop it anymore.

Everywhere I go
These feelings always show
No I can't hide them anymore
And as you can tell
I'm about to blow.

Every time I speak
My words they hit a peak
They spike and drop
And I can't stop
From feeling like I'm weak.

Shores of salty sting call upon my most wanted dreams
Beams of sunlight, rich with warmth, dance upon my skin
An aura of comfort peaks, sleepish smiles bloom and it mirrors
It brings about sensations before buried, because of the burn
Possibility was gone and here we stand
On the top of the oceanic land.

The warm waters rush upon my ankles
My knees fall weak, heat sweeps my every nerve
I breathe in deeply; my senses are heightened to highest of limits
I skip back for fear they will flow too high
The sea is pulled in close, I feel its pressure with my toes
Filled with warmth and satisfaction...
They are cooled much too quickly by the undeniable pull of the sea
Where the tide pulls tightly, far away

Anticipation lingers; as you outline my face with your fingers
Rough and cracked, yet so beautifully molded
No god on earth could suppress such a empowering scape
The sunset skims the endless ocean line
Together, the two shimmer and they shine
