fairy tales
liv Jan 2015
when you are little, they call you a princess
they say
you can be anything
the sky is your limit

when you are older, you learn that there are conditions
you can be a princess,
as long as you obey your king
The sky is your limit,
but a man must build your rocket
a man's fairy tale means you must be crying out for help,
you need saving,
you are a damsel in distress
now it is time for you to write your own fairy tale
this time, you will be there in the night
there is no damsel in distress because you will save yourself
there is no dragon to slay
because you will breathe fire on those who dare threaten you

your fire burns so brightly

reflects off of your shining amor

burns down your tower

Fair Folk
liv Oct 2015
Deep inside the forest they fly
Around rising burning embers
their inner child will never die  
Clasping hands with all the members
The fair folk dance to remember

Confused
liv Jan 2015
The way we live our lives is the same
Day in and day out we play their game
I never know what they're doing
Most of us, we just see the bling
The bridge is crowded by too much cloud
Everyone else is way too loud
I think this is a smaller part of something, but I wanted to put it up here anyway.

poisoned words
liv Oct 2015
your words bubble up like poison in my veins
they are toxic, running through my body with without regard
did you ever stop to think that you aren't the only one who's been poisoned
there are other sufferings, others dying
our blood could boil together but
instead i think you poison others
content to propel that toxic feeling in your mind

because you want everyone else's world to come crashing down, too

Specks in the Universe
liv Jan 2015
We are specks in the universe
We are specks in the universe drifting     -     along
Sometimes we are parallel lines  -  drifting together but never touching
Sometimes we we explode together in passion and love only to never meet again
But sometimes specks are lucky enough to be surround by other specks
And in a world this large, that's all any speck can ask for
Somewhat inspired by a friend who got really philosophical awhile back. Also, I was feeling melancholy, so that's where this came from.

threaded together
liv Oct 2015
we're all broken and damaged
scattered across the earth in pieces
but the secret o five isn't to try and glue yourself together
or never break at all
the trick, my dear, is the people
find people to sew you up & and you sew them up
and watch as the threads weaves to form a
mosaic rainbow
i am bent not broken

Stars

Stars burn forever bright in the darkest of nights
And even after they go, they give us their light

it's not a competition
liv Oct 2015
why does it matter what poison is in my veins?
all i worry about is who's holding my reigns
why does it matter what people are hurting most?
all i know is that i am banishing my ghosts

so believe me when i say this hurts me
i know, i know we both want to be free
it took me a long time to see toxicity
and i know it will not leave with simplicity

do not belittle my suffering
when i say i am in pain, i mean it
when i say it hurts, it ******** hurts
pain shouldn't be who hurts more, so i am sorry you're struggling
but that means you don't have a monopoly on it, either
