observing all these young men and women
give up everything that they have
just because theyve got an extreme amount of nationalism
caring so much about their country
they are willing to go and die for it
sure they may think about how their families feel
but only for a second
theyre more worried about defending this terrible country
they say "land of the free and home of the brave",
but then they wont let us say what is on our minds without getting in trouble
those being drafted are just getting brainwashed though they dont even know it
never trying to do more than what they are told to do
and it is because of all the propaganda
buts its because of all this
"that we have all the freedom we have"
(which is none by the way)
and its because of all this
"that we are the greatest country in the world"
(which is also *******)
were going to war to just prove that we are stupid enough
to try and fight everyone who'll ask
and its really all because of
the young men and women
who are willing to give up everything they have
to die over this ridiculous country the call
The United States of America!

Alcohol drowns my sorrows,
smoking numbs my pain
ya i might lose my lungs and my liver
but it s nothing compared to what i feel in my heart
the aching and the breaking
like its dividing into to itty-bitty pieces
i feel like you're killing me
but don't worry, lucky for me its just cancer.

Facebook- deal with all of your friends drama that's none of your business
Twitter- read about all the pointless things that celebrities have to say
Instagram- look at all these foods that look amazing but you know you'll never get
Vine- watch people be ******* and post videos to prove their stupidity
Pinterest- scroll through fantastic DIY projects that aren't as easy as they say

But there is one different from the others...

Hellopoetry- read things that are influential,
       they affect you in a way that you never thought was possible
       and it is all in a good way
read beautiful scriptures that actually stand for something
nonsense doesn't exist on hellopoetry
just honest feelings that make you want
to relax, enjoy, and just read

sitting here staring at a picture of you
i realize ive made a mistake
this emptiness inside is killing me
i gave everything
even what was sacred
i thought id be able to make you stay
but oh, was i wrong
i shouldnt of let you take it
i shouldve just waited for that special someone
but being young and naive
i was desperate
you knew all the right words to say
you became a pro at playing with my heart
and pulling its strings
treating me as if i meant everything but nothing
all at the same time
you played me like the fool that i was
but now i realize that im better than you
i deserve better than you
so i know to stay hidden behind my walls
and wait for someone who really care
its amazing that i learned so much, just from
sitting here staring at a picture of you

looking in my mirror
i see nothing wrong
figuring out now
i was beautiful all along
imperfections, i have them
but its no big deal
its just a way of proving
that im 100% real
i may not be attractive
but im sure great to be around
the queen of self-confidence
shall i be crowned

dark, dimented, and twisted
i watch you walk past my door
you ignore my cries for help
you see me lying on the floor
stabbed through the heart
my blood spreading fast
pulse slowing, barely alive
not much longer shall i last
you tried to tell me i'd be fine
that i'd survive without you
and like the fool i am
i fell for all your lies
there once was a time
when we were in love
you were my everything
my soul mate from above
all i wanted was to be in your arms
just to feel warm and safe
your kiss was my drug
and how your tongue would always trace
every line and imperfection
so soft but so sure
the way you'd whisper in my ear
with words so beautiful and pure
but none of that matters now
as i lay here and cry
because you broke me unexpectedly
and left me stuck here
just waiting to die

lonely, depressed, and dark
love has left its mark
it's all just one big lie
and it left her there to die
her hearts been torn to shreds
barely attached by a single thread
a sick, dimented place
until she saw your face
your existence changed her world
even though she's just a girl
promising to stay around forever
to play her you would never
then one day you disappeared
and suddenly it was all too clear
the one she needed all along
was always close but far too gone
the perfect person to treat her right
was the beautiful being inside her mind

You'd say you'd always be here
      You said you'd never leave
           You started saying "it's not you, baby it's me"
                 You broke my heart in to pieces
                      Your love for me now ceases
                 You have moved on without me
          You'll never be able to see
     That anything you wanted,
Gladly, I would be.

I am beautiful.
People go on dates, to come and see me.
I will fight to find the sand,
So that I can lick your toes.

Moving constantly,
You try and stop me but you pass right through me.
I go on trips with people,
All around the world, everyday, seeing something new.

On a hot summer day,
I am your best friend. Cooling you off with a single touch.
I will always be there for you,
And I will never run away.

It's hard to hate me
Like I have a secret potion.
Because why?

I Am The Ocean...

A dim light-bulb flickering, needed to be replaced.
A clock clicking, time needed to be reset.
Lots of mistakes, everywhere, needed to be erased.

A messy room, needed to be cleaned.
An empty bed, needed to be made.
Lots of mistakes, everywhere, more than you ever dreamed.

Slackers, sitting on the sidewalk, needed a home.
Thieves, stealing, needed to be put away.
Lots of mistakes everywhere, more than would've known.

Why can't the world be a better place?
One w/out any problems, because there are,
Lots of mistakes, everywhere, needed to be erased.

Silence,
   The only sound coming from a fan.
Darkness,
   The only light coming from the stars outside
Coldness,
    The only warmth coming from a single blanket.
Isolation,
    The only company coming from old memories.

Who would've known quitting was such a big
    mistake?
Now I sit here, rotting,
    my soul free to take.

Nothing of my own,
Not one thing belongs to me
Nowhere to go,
Not even someone to see.

I want to turn my life around,
But I don't know how.
The place to do it is here,
The time to do it is now.

Now I'm on top of the world,
Not a single thing can stop me.
I'm a great success,
I go as high as the eye can see.

But now I can't sleep,
My sequestrations keeping me awake.
Now I sit here, rotting,
My soul free to take.
