I'll stay here with you. If you still need me
We can delay the inevitable.
We've laboured at our hearts. We're weary
You think we'll revive this. I'm sceptical

The Jolteon
To love and peace
The well being of others
Might as well commit me
I’ve gone insane with intent
Overthrow the system
Free the oppressed
Rise with the masses
Unconscious means unseen
Men write ****** odes
Which is only a painful reminder
That men have no clue
How to turn women on

I wish I wasn't so afraid
So shy
So worried about everyone else
And what they think of me

I had the courage beaten out of me
I've walked home with bruises
Both physically and mentally
I've never been the same

But maybe I don't want to be
Just like everyone else
Fake smiles plaguing my universe
I wish I could be
Honest

Every smile you've seen
Has been fake
I'm a liar
It's been a night

I'm drifting
through my dreams,
occasionally colliding
with a hint of certainty.
I'm higher than I seem,
fighting the concept
of reality as a means.
I'm lost in the sky.
I can't remember why,
but life is just easier
when I get a little high.
I listen to the daylight
I hear its promise
And it's warmth.
I feel my sense of sight,
Softened from its usual callous,
Showing me beauty
Instead of things
I may fear in the night.

I hear the daylight singing
A song only I can see.
I feel it's breath on my back
As it sings it's mournful melody.
All alone I bask in this daylight's
Momentary glory.
I am warm and unafraid.
Wooed by the light.

These pangs I feel
Melt into the sight and sound.
I am hypnotized
By the setting sun.
I am, for now -just for now-
Fine.
And I fall fast asleep
Listening to the daylight.
