Your perception of me pre-existed, you saw black and you felt danger, you saw my skin and with it painted a personality from the prejudice of your mind.

You don’t know me, yet you assume that I am just like every other dark skinned man out there.

So that is why I feel angry when you cram yourself in the corner of elevators, if you could only realize I am the one who is truly backed into a corner, provoked by your ignorance, until I become what you painted me.

With your judging eyes, cautious smiles, and nervous actions you made me this way when in the beginning I was just me. Now after all you have done, and all I have done, I’m just trying to be me again.
I just want to be me.

The Butterfly flew
And left a storm in its wake,
If only it knew.

I feel like an empty vessel
Staggering by the shore
I’ve lost my way like an orphan wind
I don’t see a way through.
I don’t see a door.

I need an anchor,
An anchor, to help me stay adrift.
I need a compass.
A compass, to guide me to exist.

Don’t leave me dangling.
Come now love, guide me to you!

I’m standing right where you left me waiting
Waiting, for life to happen.
Don’t keep me waiting anymore
Give me a chance to fend for.

Come, steer me with your grace.
As I lie here in dreams awake,
Be my light, my clearer vision.
Make the emptiness go away.
Be my lover, a convincing reason.

Come fill me up with an appetite for life
Don’t let the emptiness devour me
Give me a bearing,
A tool to survive.

Don’t leave me with my demons.
Come now love, guide me to you!

I need an anchor,
An anchor, to help me stay adrift.
I need a compass.
A compass, to guide me to exist.

I’ve been tried, I’ve been misled!
Come, undo my bungled attempt.
To reach out, I raised my hand
But, I’m falling down instead

Be my anchor, my cornerstone
Bring me ashore, let me come through
Be my compass, influence me
Come now love,
Guide me to you!

I Stood there,
Waiting alone,
The lonely mountains wept for me,
spoke of my torment to the winds
And the winds passed it on
to the trees.
They all stood furious
Matching my ****** fury.
And soon, there was none,
Who escaped it.
The world danced
In the vehemence
Of our wrath.

Love was born of poetry.
Nourished by fools, sheltered by the weak,
the end shall come from within.

Love was shaped by music.
Fed by the greedy, tamed by the sinners,
the heart shall die of need.

For now, there is no poetry
or the music which leads
Of love I speak
which left us Incomplete.

When I crumble and fall
Come steer me with your grace
Take down my wall
Lock me in your embrace

When all my dreams fail
Come give me a taste of life
Let not my blood turn stale
Untangle my inner strife

‘Cause that’s where my life is hiding
Come be my Silver lining.

Don’t leave me with my demons.
Don’t let the emptiness devour me
Be my bearing,
My tool to survive
Guide me to you
Let me feel alive!

When the lights fade out
And my fears crawl
Shed the silhouette

‘Cause that’s where my life is hiding
Come be my Silver lining.

Heave me out of the ruins
Where love was torn down
And lives were destroyed.

Come be my shining light
Break the walls that confine me
Lock me in your embrace
‘Cause that’s where my life is hiding.

Just be my Silver lining.

I've seen people die and come alive
I've seen people drain in misery
I've seen people look like meadows and rainbows
I've seen people sink in blues
I've seen people come and go for the better
I've felt the wrath of the power people hold with my heart in their hands
I've felt the holes they fill in become empty overtime
I've felt a lot, but time is filled with feelings and I'm barely 16
I have a lot to feel and a lot to see


My dear friends, we've all been a little blue
My dear friends, we all wish for the best
My dear friends, the best comes within tornadoes


My dear friends, you're the breeze in my summer vibes
I swear, my dear friends, you are my destiny and have made my fat suicide letters anorexic

We have even died 'together'
in my imagination.
