Born
Just a pill for the crown
It doesn't matter what you think
Just a drink for the throne
it doesn't matter if it's your blood

Just a pill for the crown
In the ages of years l drown
pain in my body I toil
under the sun my blood boils

Just a pill for the crown
to pay what belongs to Cesar
my hands  full of blisters
they speak tales of a dwindling faith
the crown indeed,is merciless


If only you understood earth
Instead of creating your own demise
you wouldn't have time for me
and you wouldn't judge me

I strive for gold
With pride that I don't hold
don't call me greedy
I've stormed through tough sea's

You write me
A beautiful lullaby
Soothing to my ears
What a beautiful melody
Exquisite symphony
Drift me away
To a world of fantasy
But deep inside
I'm bleeding badly
By the lyrics of yours
For your words are sharp
And like a blade
Slashing my heart repeatedly
I close my eyes
With tears rolling down
Drifting into a deep sleep
And so I die
Killed by a wordsmith
In his sweetest melancholy

There are kids that don't have a dad
A girl that feels too **** fat
There's a man who just lost his job
Some have gone without food to eat
There's a boy who watched his sister die
Mom's and daddy's getting into fights
There's a girl who's only hope relies
On a man who walked out of her life

So if you begin to think you got it bad

Just remember all the kids without a dad
Or the kids that make the girl feel way too fat
Just remember the man who took
His last breath of free air just trying to scavage
A meal for his daughters and wife
And the boy who wants so desperately to end his life

***
The moment of
utopia
Where ragged breath is
  broken
And for a second,
gravity consumes the both of us
A small section from a longer poem

i wanted to tell you i loved you,
but the butterflies in my stomach swarmed my throat, and all the words got caught in their wings

maybe love is to watch a thousand winters pass, and still stand by his side because you know he's made of spring
