It's a strange world, one so vastly small,
It can feel as if it will fit into the palm of your hand,
And stretch on forever and beyond.

There are monsters in this world,
And then there is me.

The monsters and me.

We will fight, and be slain,
They won't even know your name,
Scars will appear and fade.
But there are always the monsters and me.

Oh yes, there are monsters in this world,
The Monsters and you, too.

Maybe you will sometimes be the monster,
But as will I,
And even as you die the monsters will come,
Wait by your side.

They want to bring you down,
so that you're on the same level,
But we must become the one,
Who fight with the devil.

And even as I speak they surround me.


Will they ever let me be?

She stands on the edge of space

If she jumps, star fire will become beating wings
And she will fly throughout the galaxies
Never stopping, not to eat or sleep
She will be a beacon to star travelers and the lonely ones

She stands on the edge of space

A penny for your thoughts?
More like a million!
It's a priceless thing, you see?
My thoughts are my own, no one else's,
They are only mine to be!

I always talk about leaving,
But I know that I'm going to stay,
I love it just where I am,
I don't want to go away.

It scares me to think of it all,
The world is big and vast,
This sudden wave of difference,
Always leaving me aghast,

But how do I deal with the world,
If nothing near is right?
I will figure it out,
I'll try with all my might.

Everyone has a skeleton in their closet,
Something that no one should know,
Each bone is different,
But none of them are for show.

Sometimes they come alive,
And creep into your mind,
You want to run away,
For none of them are kind.

Some bones are broken,
They can never be replaced,
Others turn to dust,
And are forever misplaced.

I have all these words that mean something in my head,
Waiting to be picked through and cleaned into a sentence,
But they just end up a jumbled mess when spoken.
I have so much to not say,  that I wish I could,
It's an endless list of words, words, words,
That I wish could stay.

I was told to write a love poem,
But I don't know how it would go,
I've never been in love,
I wouldn't know the flow.

I have read about it,
and have seen it portrayed,
It is terrible and gorgeous,
It can make you need a zaid.

One thing I have learned is,
That even when your lost,
Love can warm you up,
It can melt away the frost.
Happy Valentines Day!
