Demons will push
And Demons will play
But don’t let them scare
The ones you love away.

Thoughts may consume
Common sense trapped in a tomb
Demons can stay
Or demons can go,
Sometimes it’s better to let someone know.
I know that it’s easier to smile
But try to rely on others every once in awhile.

Let us smile for it is a joyous day!!
One to be proud of,
One that states hey!
One from beginning to end
Was filled with good friends.
Cheers and laughter!
Love and hope.
One with no worry!
...
But is it a hoax?
Does the truth hide behind some sort of a veil?
Or is it there in the open,
Making us pale.
Do we figure it out...
Or pretend we don't doubt?

You have no clue
How upset i was when i couldn’t see you.
“Poor connection” was what it said,
An “utterly unfair annoyance” is what i read.

Your music tastes are amazing
And if I’m being honest, i love hearing you sing.
That sounded a little weird, i wont deny.
But it’s true, so there’s no need to lie.

I’d love to listen to music with you
Or we could just lose ourselves in conversation too.

I know I live across the states,
But I hope to see you someday.

Perhaps the reason of why we hide
Behind our many masks
Comes more from the inside
The hidden does not speak
The hidden does not feel
A mask can be bent and broken
Take the blunt force of your opponent
Meanwhile you are safe
Watching, waiting, just to see
Is it safe to come out,
Or will they hurt me?

I crave it's feel
The devil and I might even make a deal
To worship it, I kneel.
The smooth and cold steel
Enhances the danger it brings
As if a siren luring men to their death it sings.
Sharp and beautiful like a rose
Red colors blossoming and ******
Flowing down to the sink that it's flooding
The steel is red and dripping
My mind is slipping
I worship the steel that hurts me
But keep my scars hidden to the world, unseen
But after every slice and dice why am I still unhappy?
Perhaps because the steel that I love will never love me

Perhaps I'd like to run away
Perhaps it's worth a try
Perhaps I'd like to dig a hole
And end up in another time.
A brand new name.
A second birth.
A new beginning,
In a different world.
To try again,
To make things right.
To trust in others,
To help the needy.
To always be selfless,
To always be there.
Ready to serve.
A friend to all nature,
No matter the cost.
To bring forth the truth,
Of how we all should act.
To care about the place we live in,
Instead of selfish facts.
To lend a helping hand,
Instead of stabbing backs.
The world we know has come corrupt
With people who won't change.
So one day at a time,
One smile a day,
Let's turn the world around.

How is it any ******* different
Tell me please id like to know
You can bow with the crowd after your show
After you’ve finished screaming and yelling and threatening
And I’m ******* crying wanting to escape you.
Because I’m sick of this hurt as much as I’m sick of you.
You say you love me
You say you care but then won’t let me be
You hurt me emotionally
And when i fight back or do the same things you do I’m the one punished
That’s not fair and i dont care
What stupid ******* book you’re reading because it’s clearly not ******* helping
You’re still hurting me
And i dont care how much or even how you apologize
Because deep down we both know it’s a lie.
So maybe i defend myself because we learn from what our parents teach us
You’ve taught me to be the abusive one who apologizes after mutilating trust.
But it’s okay because I’ve at least accepted that about myself
So now i can fix it. I can get help.
But as long as you deny how much pain you put me in
You’ll never compare in this fight, you’ll never win.
After this long with this painful tune
I’ve learned how to hurt myself better than you.

I see you every day
Watch you as you take your toll and demand your pay
Third world countries
Praying for help, praying for something
People in power trying to help out
But when you arrive those people start to doubt
The things you leave in your wake
The sympathy others fake
The innocence you take
The minds and bodies you ****!
You take, and take, and take!!
But what do you give?!
When you never end but only begin!
How do we help the family you break?
The children you make afraid?
You hold the future in your hands
But I'd rather pry it from your cold, dead ones that the soldiers and civilians you sift straight through like sand.
What do we say to the widows? The parents? The children? The friends? The neighbors??
How do WE fill the holes YOU leave in the broken-hearted?!
Anger and wrath pouring into those holes like cement, weighing them down when they think about those that have parted.
When is enough, enough?
Will you ever stop pretending you're helping? Will you ever get called on your bluff?
The lives you steal...
By teaching others to ****.
Enemies and allies,
Are you DEAF to the MILLIONS of outcries?
"Please. Stop."
Simple words from simple people with the most complex of pain, only showing a single teardrop.
Bombs are dropped! Grenades are thrown! Wounds needing to be sewn!
There goes an arm, a leg, the eyes, the mind.
They want you? Despite the pain that follows closely behind.
Who wants words where bullets will suffice?
We think we control you but really you hold the cards AND roll the dice.
Leading us FAR away from paradise.
Yes, you can be useful and helpful but st what cost?!
All the money, time, and people we have lost??
When is enough, enough!
When we're broken and bloodied, finally realizing we aren't that tough?
When we're just scraps of a former novel?
When we're nothing but dust and fossils.
So I ask you again,
As Humanity is unable to defend.
Through the suffering and pain,
Through the tears you see as a game!
Hoping that you'll see the hurt and destruction and will change.
Just for a minute, stop being so tough.
And decide.
When is enough, enough?

You've infiltrated my brain without knowing
Every time I make you smile it leaves me glowing
Every time my phone lights up
My heart will jump
Is it you?
And I smile too.
Do you think about me?
If you did it would fill me with glee
I'm not good in person
My part of the conversation forced in.
Wanting to look at you unabashedly
So beautiful, and kind.
But here I am afraid to use any pick up lines
Would you care if I did?
Or would my fate be sealed with a lid.
What would you say?
Force a smile and an okay?
Ignore me like I'm not there
For all of these things I am unprepared.
Which is why I say nothing
Which will never turn into something,
But what can I do?
You'd think I lost a few screws.
Averting your gaze when you look at me,
Hoping maybe my stare was not the first thing you'd see.
A habit, it's become.
It's impossible to be undone
When I talk I make eye contact with everyone else
Heck, even that plant on the shelf.
You, however are a much different story
How can I see you without gazing at your glory.
Your eyes are a complete distraction
They seem to call for my action.
But fear of what you would say
Causes me to avert any gaze
What would I ever say?
I have no original ideas, the most I say is hey.
For that i apologize
If I had the guts I might roll the dice.
I would have had I not been afraid
Wasted an entire plan I had made.
I was going to ask you to be my date
To more than just formal if you took the bait.
Formal was going to be my start
To court you would become my new art
But these things you will never know.
Why? Well because I said so.
If you do read this
Then give me a kiss
Haha I'm kidding you won't know who you are
If it is you, you won't figure it out, you wouldn't think that far.
If you asked who it was and demanded a straight answer.
I might not prance around it like a dancer.
I would most likely be honest
But I would not completely express my fondness.
Of course none of this matters, especially not the feelings I list
Why? Because you will never read this.  
It says so in the title you read.
What is it again? Oh yes
Words never said

It can blast your eardrums
Drowning out the world
It can play softly, whispering in your ear
Background music for your life as though it is a movie.
Sometimes feeling strong emotions
Sometimes feeling no emotion
The melodic tune that breezes through the air filling up the empty space
The dark empty tone that echoes as though silence goes for miles.
Tunes that some can't live without.
Tunes that others wish were gone.
Harsh, ecstatic, vexing, tranquil, depressing, joyful, angsty, serene.
Emotions felt through a beat.
The chirping of birds, the beating of drums, feet pounding on pavement, oceans hitting the shore.
Music can be found all over the earth
The beat of the city, the time in your head, music sung by artist, songs made up in showers instead.
Music fills the heart, pumps through the veins.
Pounding a beat of individuality
A gateway to the soul
To find out who you are.
The way you view the music,
The way you view the world.

Look at me
I’m a ******* mess
Sitting here alone
So ******* depressed
In the dark
There’s no point in fighting so hard
I’m just giving up
I should quit band
It makes me feel like this
My body
My mind
Everything
“What’s wrong” they say.
How do I respond.
I can’t assure them
I can’t make them feel better
I only know
I am losing sleep
As I lie here in this heap
My clothes scattered around me
My mind is lost and no one has yet found me
I cannot think
I do not breathe
I’m in my head
Battling the past, the dead.
I haven’t the strength to climb up into my bed.
So I just lie here instead.
