It’s a losing fight
Please help me find the strength
To make it through this night
I'm not sure I can go on
I'm holding back my tears
Fighting off my fears

My heart is breaking inside
Please help me find the pieces
Before the joy has died
And I am left alone
I'm praying to heaven up above
Clinging to the ones I love

There’s a light at the end of this tunnel
If I just keep moving on
There’s an end to all my troubles
If I just keep going strong
Things build up and build up
Until I can’t take it all
But in the end ill make it through
I’ll make it through the fall

When this cloud has passed
And the sun is shining down
When the pain at last
Finally stops coming around
I'm wondering if you’re still there,
Wondering if you still care…
There’s a scent in the air
Like treasure hordes of old
It smells a bit like hard, cold…
Cash.

Roll the dice
Double fives
Roll again
And the threes make nine
It’s all or nothing here
There’s nothing to fear
Take a chance

There’s something gleaming here
It looks a bit like gold
Could it really be? Hard, cold…
Cash.

Spin the wheel
Lands on ten
All chips in
And spin again
It’s all or nothing here
There’s nothing to fear
Take a chance

Deal the cards
Royal flush
Draw again
And feel the rush
It’s all or nothing here
There’s nothing to fear
Take a chance

Insert coins
Pull down the spinner
Three in a row
You’re a winner
It’s all or nothing here
There’s nothing to fear

Keep in mind
The odds are against you
But will you…
Take a chance?
Somber silence,
The simple sound of violence;
And truth be told,
It's my desire

So let it be
More than a memory;
As it fills your soul,
Feed the fire

Tempting flames,
Chaotic games,
Made insane,
And left in pain

And isn't it so beautiful,
And isn't it so right,
And isn't it pure justice
To watch them burn at night?

So light your matches,
So grab your torches,
Man your pitchforks,
We're gonna play;
A night of flames,
A night of games,
A night of pain,
It's all to gain
Until break of day

And when the sun beats down
Nothing is left to be found
Not a single silent signal
No evidence around

Nothing like sweet revenge
You don't know me or my heart
You've never seen what lies within
When several things come crumbling down
You won't be the one I turn to, no

You've no idea what it's like
To be on the outside, looking in
When I begin to break away
I know that I can't count on you, so

I cannot spare you any love
I cannot bare to look at you
I will not let you see my tears
Because I fear I will see yours

I know you aren't there, because you don't care
I know you aren't mine, and you never were
I wished for an ending from a fairy tale
And all I got was a nightmare

You've never held me as I cried
You sat and watched stony-hearted
As pieces of me faded and died
My self, my soul, the dear departed

Turn away, she died today
And your words were not comfort when
She called to you, and begged you to
Be the one she needed then

Now I'm dead, let this vengeance live:
To hold a grudge and not forgive
I am not what I seem to be,
Wish to remain a mystery,
There is more than you can see,
Lying behind my eyes.

Paradox I must remain,
Driving people's minds insane,
Conundrum in need to be explained;
Can you see through my lies?

Complex puzzles, find the key
Not quite what I seem to be?
Look beyond, and you will see
What's been here all this time.

What is a person but a game,
Tiresome thing that is the same;
Every time it's just as lame:
There's nothing more to see.

Look beyond, in darkness too,
Look what lies inside of you,
What is there that isn't true,
That's the part we know.

True selves very rarely show
Everything that should be known
If I was the same as when I'm on my own,
Pretty sure you'd hate me.

Why live life as a shadow being,
Letting people believe they're seeing
Everything and still believing
That they're doing just the same?

No more I say, will these ones see
What truly lies inside of me,
Foolish ones, by my decree:
We're all living lies.
Red, orange, yellow;
the fire.
Scarlet, gold;
the Phoenix
rises from
the flame.
He screeches.
The earth shakes.
The people cower.
A shadow blocks
the sun.
All fall to
the ground before
the mighty firebird.
From the ashes
he has risen,
and to the ashes
he will return,
only to be reborn.
Phoenix immortal;
Phoenix eternal;
Phoenix undying.
All powerful,
and indescribable.
Phoenix
of the ember;
Phoenix
the firebird.
Loudly it sounded,
The horns message clear,
The gods had been warned,
The giants were near.

From Jotunheim to Midgard
To Asgard they came,
Their intent was clear,
Their purpose the same.

Loudly they shouted,
They yelled, and they raged,
The gods and the giants
Were battle engaged.

Thor with his hammer
and Vidar with shoe,
One would think battle
Was all that they knew.

Tyr with one hand
And Frey with no sword,
They should have stayed back,
But of their own accord

Into battle they leapt,
Into battle they ran,
Against the giants
To make their stand.

The moon and the sun,
Luna and Sol,
Went into the bellies
of Hati and Skoll.

Tidal waves crashed
all over the world,
Out of the oceans came
The serpent of Midgard.

Thor ran at the beast,
The great Fenrir Wolf,
But he was soon
In snakes coils engulfed.

Thor pounded away,
He hammered the snake,
But he did no damage,
No dent did he make.

The great Fenrir Wolf
Rushed at Odin,
The god stabbed with his spear,
But the great wolf did win.

Vidar rushed at the beast
With his big heavy shoe,
Kicked in the jaw,
The Fenrir Wolf flew

Away from the battle,
away from the fray,
In the depths of space
The Fenrir Wolf stays.

The gods and the giants,
The battle they fought,
And in the end
it was all for naught.

They destroyed each other,
Each and every one,
And out of the darkness
Came a new sun.

In the sun’s warmth,
A great green was spread,
The great land had died,
And was back from the dead.

Two gods were left,
The young sons of Thor,
They were spared because
they were good and pure.

The gods met with two humans
Who had lived through the strife,
And together they planned
a new and better life.

And for this reason,
The Norse people say,
The gods stay in Asgard
To this very day.

But if in the future
The giants attack,
The gods will come to Midgard,
And they will attack.
i read some Norse mythology, and turned it into a poem.  this was written a while ago.
