I was a lost boy,
Who wished upon a star for his prince

You woke me up from my lifeless slumber,
You make me wish for tomorrow,

You turned me into a real boy
You helped me find my heart,

You made me long for more
You brought back my voice

I left my world for you,
You became my world

You were my knight in shiny armor
You unfroze my heart

You tore off my mask
And broke my disguise

You give me strength
And brought me back from the depths of hades

You had my love... But she had yours.
Magnetic
We needed each other

Electric
A passion I will never forget

Carrying on with your absence is hectic
But it turns out you're too sweet and I'm a diabetic.

Compared to a lot of things around me.
I come from a different world, a world within their world.
A third world.
I come from struggles
From contentment
Wonky neighbors, communities, and families.

I’m a result of conflicts.
Of trivial desires and strong feelings.
                            Of a moment.

I originate from peaceful sights on Golden Beach
From bustling streets with peculiar smells
Sweltering summers and rain invested winters
I originate from Red, White and Blue.
                     From the lone star.

I am the effect of hard work.
Of a fighter
A single mother.
The repercussion of strict rules.
Respect branded in me
Obedience molds my body.

I am an original stereotype, insanely mindful.
I strive to forge new roads.
I am conventionally unconventional
I walk the unpaved jungle lighting my own way.

No matter where I go
There’s one thing I’ll always for sure know

I come from  a different world.
A world within their world, a third world.

I will  always have arms to return.
A culture that is my own.
A sense of self that is me.

I'm your sunshine
Its my duty to wake you from your void
To warm your heart in its icy prison
I bring you new beginnings, a hopeful future

I'm your moon
I'm bound to you by a force greater then us
I'm your light when all you see is darkness
I keep you company when no one is there.
I'm there even when you only see rainbows and sunshine and not me.

I'll always be your moonlight...
As long as you dream of the future by my light

I can live with my dark side.

I shine bright on the outside but my I'm burned out inside

My heart just gaseous, my words unfilled
I don't have a sun, I don't dream by moonlight
I Shed tears that just evaporate

My void grows bigger by the day
My heart burns hotter by the night
My light dims by the hour,
Each day you drift away, each night you dream by another light,

You drift away
And with you goes my purpose,
Unneeded and taken for granted
I go through the motions
Awaiting the end
When my heart burns out
When my life freezes in the darkness
I'm your anchor, I'll be your shoulder... But I put on face just so you'll have your sunshine.
Instead of trying
to stigmatize
perhaps you should
prioritize
and realize that
everyone flinches from
pain and for some people
life hurts so ******* much
that flinching out of existence
seems to be the only option
and instead of trying
to minimize
perhaps you should be trying
to sympathize
and it doesn't matter
if nobody was there
for you during the
bad times
that you pretend didn't
happen
because withholding
your compassion from
those who need it most
is the worst sort of death
you can inflict
and there's no
justifying it.

it wasn’t love
rather lust
a gentle hand
a breach of trust
a quickened breath
an easy lie
a dance with death
a hard goodbye.

johnny got some bullets that dont shoot slow
johnny got hisself a big auto-matic rifle
johnny got his own version of the bible.
