The rules made to shape you in a preferred way are set in the strongest stone
So I cut away the ropes which are pulling me up and carry on
But I’m unable to move between one person to the other
My senses demolished, lost, forgotten. Do I want them back?
The louder they scream, the faster my heartbeat and the quicker my pulse will stop
I died for no cause and I rise without reason
Swept away by dreams thinking it was the right corner to turn
The further resistance of any attempts of help, unintentional or not
They can’t see them but does this mean they don’t exist? No.
It was when they took over they became alive
Insane you call me. I am nothing more than myself
Go ahead and rip my veins out and puncture my lungs and choke my breath and extract my blood and pull out my teeth and skin my face
I may be the equivalent to a disease
But you are promoting ignorance to my kind

i want to be next to you
breathing your air
with your fingers intertwined with mine

i want to feel
your lips pressed against me
a thousand times a day

i would spend hours in silence with you
because we all know
actions speak louder than words

i want to be yours
and you to be mine
no questions asked

i could spend my life in admiration
you're the missing piece
to my empty soul

we could have those midnight talks
as we watch the stars
as perfect as you

or we could sleep in the most innocent way
so i no longer feel alone
and you have a reason to live

Words, searing through my heart, unstoppable
Damaging my vision
Like you're throwing arrows into my eyes
What if I said something - would the world stop spinning just for me?
No.
Don't be stupid now.

your lips were
as soft as mine
every time
we touched
there were
fireworks
between us
enough for beauty
too little for danger

i swear
i could stare
as long as you did
but you were
unique
so i stopped

your hands
warm in winter
cold in summer
watching movies
time flying
id sleep
when you were
distracted

sometimes
i wouldnt know
right from wrong
yes or no
but i rely
on instinct
only

its all a matter of
*****-innocent love
but
was it love
or imagination

what does a pulse prove
in the spirit of the moment
why
were you
the only one
and why
did i still feel
alone?

Push my head underwater and let me breathe liquid
Forget that I'm a person with a life and ambitions
but let's not think about that because apparantly that's not important

I didn't know you kept a chainsaw in your office
Until the day I was in the middle of speaking and you started to cut off my limbs
your argument was that it would prevent risk

Temporarily isolating myself for a better cause
Your involvement made me begin planning homicide
well as long as i'm socialising, it's fine isn't it

Dressed for the mourning of a grandparent
I get told I'm wearing too little and a staff member comments on my ****
but in community meeting, it's the patients that are said to be the ones talking inappropriately to staff

What if one day we both brought a gun inside
I bet it will be me who is tortured for it

I could peer into your soul and see nebulas
Now I only see black holes
The moon used to shine behind your eyes
Now just a plain night sky
But just remember,
Focus on the darkest part for long enough
And soon thousands of galaxies will be found
Incredibly distant, but alive and breathing
We see into the past, while they're in the future
We see them tiny, but they're a million times more complex than ourselves
Think -
Just because it didn't snow this year,
That doesn't mean that snow no longer exists
So next time you come across an apparantly blank soul
Look deeper to find the beauty inside

‘Cast Your Fate,’ so where has that led us?
A painting with holographic colours
A way of life put into words
Comfort searched for by the uncomforted; we all know this is every single one of us

Cast your fate etched into every notebook, postcard, skin cell
Every syllable that escapes your throat
The race to be the one to do it first and do it best
Gain some and lose some so we all remain equal
Every dream, every verse, every prayer, repeated over and over until it’s all just sounds dripping out of your mouth

Cast your fate and be the ones that live to see their kids have kids
With their lips and hearts touched by those they love
Not the ones who wait for a saviour to come save them while they sit there waiting for that letter from the Lieutenant saying that their son is dead because that’s where his dream led him

Cast your fate so the lazy are stuck and so the motivated can fly
So that we as a population are no longer stuck between yes, no, start stop, right, wrong
So that every word of ambivalence will stop scratching the blood off our hearts and souls, attempting to fill the empty gap inside us with something we believe is real but is not

Cast your fate so you can go where you want and breathe what you believe
Because who knows, maybe in one day, two days, a month from now, you’ll be in a better place and no one can pull you back down

Do it for the ones who can’t
Do it for the ones who aren’t in the spotlight
Do it for the ones who are beaten up every day at school and don’t report it
Do it for the ones who work hard all day and night and are stamped on until their faces are as ***** as the ground beneath their feet
Do it so you can shine brighter than everyone else because that’s what you deserve

Cast your fate so that the painting maintains its meaning
So that next time you’re faced with Jehovah’s Witnesses knocking on your door, maybe it will start to mean something
Maybe, at the bottom of our hearts, we will start to uncover some growing sense of belief
So equality means being equal and the gap between black and white is closed and remains closed

Cast your fate so you become the mothers, the fathers, the grandparents, the future
So that every single eye that blinks and sparkles in the night has the privilege to see good and not bad
So that our generation is no longer looked down upon and so we become idols and not criminals

Cast your fate
