Life asked death,
"Why do people love me but hate you?'
Death responded,
"Because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth."
Death is not the opposite of life but a part of it.
It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.

Sometimes I wish not to feel anymore.
The hurt and pain of a leaving friend?
Make me blind to it all.
Weak from emotions,
exposed like the ocean,
I wish for it to be no more.
I wish for my eyes to be dry,
for my heart to be healed,
for a mind to be rewind.
Sometimes I wish not to feel anymore.
The memories and laughter?
Make me blind to it all.
Let me forget it
so that I
don't forget
who
I am.

What am I to make
of a world so easy to break?
The silence of fading lines;
the boundaries that couldn't hold.
Once a beautiful picture
has withered away to a dull blur.
Rain.
Harsh pounding of the sky's cries.
Cold.
Forgotten presence of souls.
Wind.
Disappointed sighs of Mother Nature.
Heat.
Anger building behind the eyes.
Earthquake.
Strikes and smashes for the beaten and bashed.
A place meant to strive
cannot even survive.

I'd like to be alone,
but I don't want to be lonely.

I'd like to be in hope,
but I don't want to be hopeless.

I'd like to be in love,
but I don't want to be broken.

I'd like to be sad,
but I don't want to be weak.
For when I'd like to be 'me', but I don't want to be 'her'.

Frozen snowflakes burning my soul
I’m not afraid of cold anymore
You taught me how to be a snow queen
not a fire girl that I had been
Please don’t worry that I’m walking
barefoot in the snow
follow me slow
and I’ll show
the burning footprints over the ice
I’ll keep setting fires in your cold heart
although it is falling apart
I’m both ice and fire
freezing the snow to your desire…

They are bombing children
as their own
are hummed lullabies.
They are bombing children
as their own
are tucked into bed tonight.
They are bombing children
as their own are rocked to sleep.
They are bombing children
with rockets burying them
in rubble deep.
