I swallowed the ocean
I gulped it like tea.

I devoured the land,
I drank up the sea.

I ripped open the heavens,
I inhaled the trees.

I left nothing in my path,
Not even a pea.

I engulfed the living,
Even the smallest of fleas.

I swallowed the ocean,
I gulped it like tea.

But I did leave one thing behind,
Me.
So I decided to stop being miserable

because nobody cares.

I decided to just be

Happy.
I saw a quote like this and i liked it so i just put a little twist on it.
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

Silence — our silence,
Unspooling,
Gone now, and ****** with the wolves.
Dethroned,
Without importance.

keep breathing in poetry
and exhaling unwound emotions
dusting off dreams a gift to the star
praying to the dictionary god
and the rhyming wizard
dreaming for a clearer tomorrow
and a brighter future

you don't take my breath away*
    

              
you suffocate me like cigarette smoke to an asthmatic

she rides like a mustang and runs just as fast
you can never catch her because she will break
just like all the things made out of glass

her heart is the most fragile part of her frame
and if you touch her she will turn to sand
just like the wind over the dunes
