Darling I know the sun hasn't shone for you in a long time,
But the night never lasts forever.
You've seen things that people never should,
And you have done things that most people never could.
You've lived through hell
And come out on top
And I know that you'll never stop.
No mountain is too high
No ocean too deep
No promise you can't keep
Keep your head up
And you will see
That everything is exactly how it's supposed to be
There's warmth in your heart
And a spark in your mind
And everyone knows
You're one of a kind
You have control of your fate and destiny
And you have the means to set yourself free
The words of other men will never bog you down
Because you're already so high off the ground
I believe
That you can achieve
Anything you set your heart on
And you'll be put down in history




Never let anyone tell you otherwise

I was once told that
You are what you listen too
And if that fact is true
I must be at least three quarters you

He whispers sweet nothings into my ear
His quiet musings that lull me to sleep
His teeth gently graze my earlobe, pulling at my earring
He's almost like a raven, always fixating on the shiny parts of me
Except instead of repeating never more, he screams forever from the rooftops
He's taught me how to fly
How to leave the ground
How to soar above the earth, into the clouds
He's given me hope and serenity and peace
And for this I will forever be grateful

Dear god, his touch is like fire.
His fingertips leave burns on my skin, every place he lays his palm blisters
It's mesmerizing
Everyone knows the flames will hurt if you touch them, but they are oh so pretty
And he just so happens to be  gorgeous, the type that I can't take my eyes off of
It doesn't matter if every time my skin meets his, it scalds my heart
None of it matters anymore
Because he provides the most addicting kind of torturous pain that I could ever imagine
But as soon as he takes his hands away, I turn cold as the ice I was born from
He is full of fire and I am made of ice, and oh he makes me melt

It made no sense to her
All these rules and regulations
All these laws they had set up without a second thought
She was had always been recalcitrant
Never wanting to mindlessly obey the powers that be
She didn't believe in any sort of god,
In any being that was above others
And she didn't believe any human should be above her either
She created her own rules and formed her own morals
And figured just as long as she stuck with those, she could be true to herself

She was stunning, gorgeous
Everywhere she went she turned heads
The boys whistled, the girls muttered their jealousy
They poked and prodded her until she was reduced to nothing more than a hopeless nobody
She stopped trying, she stopped looking for the compliments and the easy smiles that seemed to spring up when she came around
She didn't know what had turned the opinions of so many,
Maybe it was a nasty rumor made by a popular girl
It could have been anything really
But all that tearing down allowed her to build back up
She realized that she didn't need the makeup and the dresses and the fancy shoes to be beautiful
What really mattered was her heart, her soul
And so she found beauty inside
Her new found shining grace shone from deep beneath her skin
And although there was still muttering when she walked in the room,
She had learned to push it all aside
And see the true beauty of the world around her

She never thought that she'd get to this point
She was so far overboard that she couldn't think, couldn't even dream of anybody else
She was so far gone
So enveloped in his being
That she would sacrifice everything to be with him
Her family, her job
Her hopes, her dreams
All out the window to be with the man she loved
But she would be lucky if he never let her down
