I'm breaking bonds,
I'm healing scars,
I'm making my way out here.

I'm fighting for,
what I deserve,
let me make myself clear.

I'm rising up,
I'm making waves,
I've got a life,
that I'm not gonna waste.

I'll take two steps,
for every negative,
for every word they've said,
that put me down.

This world is raw,
it's fresh for the taking,
and I'm gonna take it,
and make the best of it.

I'm rising up,
I'm making waves,
This life is nothing worth wasting.

I saw the good in you and that made me happy
I saw a light that ignites when I see you
I saw the excitement in your face when I talk to you
I saw that smile that hides all of your sorrow

And now that I'm closer
I feel your pain
Now that that I'm here
I feel it in my vanes
I hate seeing you sad
So please try to understand
I do this because I care
Not because I'm mad
You have opened up this door that I haven't seen before
is it normal that I wana know more
That side is attracting me to come
Hold me tight cuz I don't wana go there
I'm feeling scared that's it's pulling me there
I won't do that cuz I know who I am
And to me that side is just a passing spam
Hopefully that door will close soon
And I'll be free
So go to hell dark side I'm not coming today
Cuz I'm better then this so bye bye forever

liturgical language of wind whispers in the pines.
the sky filled with the pearly puffs of Her word.
the hymnal call of the mountains.
angles rise from the depths of lakes.
the taps of rain on the ground proclaim the Almighty.
cavernous churches entombed within the minerals
of Her love.
upon Her watery canvas She paints portraits
of Her ardent, blue dreams of eyes, and erases them
with each passing kernel of time
repainting them just as fast.
paradise.
pinnacle of unselfish endeavors.
untainted beauty encapsulated in Her smile
She is good; She is infinite; She is yes.
my only escape,
ever-faithful,
unchanging beauty.
all is held within the womb of Nature,
waiting for birthing death into the ethereal.
thank god for Nature.

right now
right here
i'm drowning
in thankfulness
that i feel like
i won't ever be able to
express in full,
so i write these words
to let out a little
water and get enough
space to breathe.

friendship is
the greatest gift
i have ever been
blessed with.
i'm indebted to you
in a way i could
never pay you back.
i know i haven't
been a good influence.
i was always bad
at being good.
i'm expelled now
and you're still here
by my side.
i know i saved you
from this punishment
but that won't ever be
enough.
even the most
taboo of my thoughts
don't send you running
and that dumbfounds me.
the moment that we have to leave
and part ways, is the moment
a piece of my soul is going to
die. i love you.
know that,
no matter what,
you will
always
have
me
as
a
friend.

i swallowed the sun and
washed it down with a little inky night.
now wildflowers bloom in my heart
and light fills my mind. these
words are solar flares of a
fallen petal.

the price of it all--
welded lips of unspoken words.
now other people mishear
and believe i am speaking,
but it is only the wind
whistling through
my teeth.

now i find that,
being alone is silence,
but it is never quiet.
You want to push,
and shove,
and scratch,
and claw.

If you think I,
won't fight,
right back,
you're wrong.

I will make sure,
you feel,
the pain,
you dealt.

I will make sure,
you feel,
the pain,
I felt.

You cry,
and beg,
and weep,
and plea.

But I,
will show,
you no,
mercy.

You can't,
just take,
a heart,
to break.

I won't,
let you,
take me,
for-granted!

I've been broken down before,
treated like **** and nothing more.
But I won't let you get away,
I won't let you take my heart.

traveler of souls, a
looking glass shattered,
the infected cracks
murmur to my eyes,
telling me more
about myself
than the
reflection.

i see you in the silence
and the blanks of
mind. crazy how violence
says more about love
and its power. the contrast
is fading unlike your
eyebrows, and the last
drop of sanity hits the floor.
thoughts of you as
your actual presence,
because your absence has
finished its evanescence.
I lost you somewhere along the way,
somewhere deep inside my brain.

I never thought I would see,
and when I did, I couldn't believe.

I'm just trying to find my way.

I feel everything,
even the bells when they ring.

The bells, how they toll,
searching for my lost soul.

I'm just trying to find my way.
I'm just fighting for another day.

Wrists smudged with red,
let the voices in your head.

I thought I was immune,
but I'm just a human, out of tune.

I'm just trying to find my way.
I'm just wondering astray.

Another statistic right,
says I'll **** myself tonight.

Another statistic right,
so why is no one by my side.

Comfort me.
Comfort me.
Be my friend.
Be there in the end.

I'm just trying to find my way.
I'm just trying to survive,
another day.
