"History changes"
Said the old man,
Deep crows' feet lining his
Sunken in blue eyes, as he
Led us through a library.
And I think those old books agreed,
As they tiredly watched me
From their glass prison.

Spotlight is on me.. yet again
I am the main attraction; the one they all came to see
The one they laugh at. The one they joke about
As long as I've remembered, I've always been the "ugly" one, the "awkward" one
A freak
and I'm starting to believe these controversial jokes
I am a clown
and they all seem to laugh at my downfalls
but

**Whoever said I wanted to be in this circus?

where do i go from here
now that you're gone

where do i stay
now that you've moved on

i have no home
because your arms were my shelter

and
you have moved away

away to some new beautiful place

I had some very sick, sad dreams about you.
Not the ones you forget in the morning,
upon the smell of honey and a clean earth after rain.
The ones that leave you wounded and drenched
in your own doubt, frustration, bitter remorse.
I blame you for littering seedlings in our path,
leaving my world overpopulated
and washed out with a malicious, endless green.
I had some very sick, sad dreams about you.

My Time

My soul is ragged as the bags under my eyes
As I lay in my silent bed
Forced to let Past creep under the covers
By day I run like the wind away from her,
But Past is cunning
And knows that in sleep,
I cannot escape her.

My heart is as aching as the lump in my throat
As I say farewell to a love that cannot hear me
To he who stands on the very sands where we promised forever
And who once was my soul, is now a stranger.
A year has passed and the love that has kept me captive
Is finally setting me free.

My mind is as restless as my open eyes
Who wish to see with them new places and new people
And open ears who wish to hear the music of distant lands
And a waiting mouth that wishes to speak the languages of many
And with that gift of language, bring together two peoples as one.

My soul is waiting. My heart is anew. My mind is open. My time for my life to begin is now.

You
If you were a day of the week
     you'd be a Friday night on the couch

If you were a type of weather
     you'd be a snowy winter day in my arms

If you were a holiday
     you'd be a cozy night before Christmas in the  
     light of the tree

If you were a time of day
     you'd be a late night watching TV

If you were a song
     you'd be Ashley by Escape The Fate

If you were a TV show
     you'd be my favorite episode of Doctor Who

If you were a person
     you'd be just the way you are
     because you are mine
     and I would never change that

Scars

all i want is someone to look at me and accept my scars
too look deep in my soul
and see the pretty that drowns in my fear

i see nothing but wrong in my ways
and i need someone to convince me otherwise
or one day
these scars will re-open and bleed away*

next time i wont drown in my fear
but
*my own rusty blood
