Babu kandula
Cold winds
Stacked up snow layers
Watery nostrils
Freezing bones

Lazy eyes
Painful muscles
Snoozing alarms in cellphones
Inactive ears

Energy captured
And stored like rock salt
Crack it and crush it
And finally get it

Time to do work
She was dressed in the sins that matched mine,
She exuded imperfections as she walked
and her eyes bore the scars
Of seeing through a screen
In a life spent a life spent half-mad

She made me feel okay to be flawed
I no longer looked in the mirror
And felt like I was chewing on the glass
Swallowing whole the shattered shards
To hemorrhage what was left of my self-esteem

Yet, now that she's gone away..
I'm tearing at my skin again
Abrasing my blemishes,
My specks, and my spots
Re-opening old scars
Astonished by imaginary disfigurements.

Now I sit here, look in the mirror,
Blood is running down to the sink,
I'm chewing on glass again.
Yeah..

Joseph Schneider
It's in his shadow we plead
Under his wrath we bleed
His destruction leaks hate into the weak
Leaving the unsubstantial reaping his critique
His actions scorned through years of neglect
It's in his perception only, that we become wrecked
Why do we follow knowing wrong from right
Pushing those we love away from the light
His power is without doubt equal to the greats
Although derived from stray minded it opens the gates
The gates into the souls of those who are tattered
Turning old memories to ones now shattered
Although through it all, we have nothing to fear
For he is nothing more than a broken mirror
It just takes practice to realize his weakness
All his power is nothing to the strong but bleakness
It's in his own prison he will rot
Although it's up to us to become the Juggernaut

Every cell, every little cell is replaced every 7 years
How fantastic will that be?
I will finally have a body that will never have been touched by you.

going.
going.
going.
gone.
She flew away because you took too long
Her heart could no longer hold the weight of a boy that was just too late.

I find myself in book stores
Sitting there admiring the worlds around me
Full of possibility, wonder and a new start
You see darling, I live in a world of my own
Built by these pages, every day is a fairy tale
No princesses or castles but the magic of each day
Unfolding itself before my eyes
I hope some day you can come for a visit
It truly is a beautiful place to be.

Bailey Marie
Someday I will fade
Just like a photograph in one of those books you keep
A distorted memory; there but forgotten
I am nothing but a familiar echo, haunting you from the past
I still live in the moments where our eyes would meet
When we would communicate with smiles and stolen kisses
You were my future
I am your past.

I wish I knew where I was going
and why it was so hard
But you see for people like me darling the world is quite harsh.

Crimson and glorious; Let's paint the world
A place so full of hate yet so full of beauty
You see I've got a problem in my head
One that cannot quite be fixed
I live for the glory, the guts and the gore
To feel in control
but you see, I am spiraling out of control
I want to put this brush down
