Dawn Is Still Dusk As
  I Walk From Security
Into A Dark World

         Evil Lurks In
            My Presence And It Is Ruthless  
                   A Cold Wind Nips Skin
  
                                            The Scent Of Blood Hangs
                                        In The Atmospheless Air    
                                  Trees Gaze Past The Twinge
  
                      Cry If You Need To
                         Stars Will Take Away The Tears
                              The Moon Will Kiss You

Remember The Chills?
   The Sun Starts Slowly Rising
            To See Our Faces

                             Nails On A Chalkboard
                     Claws On The Frosty Pavements
                               Grass Dying Below

                                               One Last Kiss From Me
                                   One Last Goodbye From Hate
                                                    The Veil Is Lifted

                      You Can Regret All
                               The Misery And Pain
                                         But What About Love

                  The Cold Onyx Pavement                                                               Will Someday Lead Us To Clouds
                 And We Will Forget

                                 A Deal With Demons
                            Withdrawn From Eternity
                                 Drawn From Forever

                                                        ­Tonight It's Just Me
                           But In My Dreams It's Me And You
                                              And Tonight We Dance

                       *On A Dance Floor Of Pavement

You Used To Tell Those Little Stories,
To Help Me Smile When I Cried,
Once You Told Me The Story Of Aries,
Because He Was My Zodiac Sign,
You Called Me On My Birthdays,
Telling Me How Much I've Grown,
But Still You Said I'd Always Be,
As Precious As An Emerald Stone,
One Time You Gave Me A Jewelry Box,
I Put It On A Shelf,
Next To A Broken Wrist Clock,
I Put A Necklace In It But Really Nothing Else,
And When I Found Out The News,
I Sat In My Bathroom And Listened To The Box's Music,
It Was My Own Record Of The Blues,
I Tried To Listen To For Your Voice Pretending I Was Physic,
But That Did Not Work,
And I Felt My Heart Drop,
I Felt Like I ****,
Because I Hadn't Cried Nonstop,
I Can Still See All Those Pictures Of Me,
Hanging On Your Fridge,
I Wonder Where All Those Pictrues Went,
Now That You Are Gone

Paws Carefully Lurk Across Freshly Fallen Snow,
One Lay Limp And Cold,
The Others Glide Like An Eagle On The Wind,
While Holding A Fiery Orange Furry Body Above,
A Black Muzzle Is Dressed In White,
Evidence Of The Pursuit,
Evidence Of The Hunt,
Evidence Of The Winter Starvation,
Tree Trunk Brown Eyes Swivel,
Taking In This Risky Surrounding,
The Taste Of Prey On A Lollipop Pink Tongue And,
The Sounds Of Frozen Feathered Birds Perch In The Ears,
Of Blackfoot The Fox

Player Player, I Played Your Game,
Once Again I Lay Limp And Lame,
With A Stepped On Heart,
Which Was Caught And Tamed,
Dry And Brittle--It Waits For Rain

Player Player, You Found Me Fooled,
Helpless I Slipped Under Your Rule,
My Firey Soul,
Was Darastically Cooled,
Why Oh Why Heart Do You Fall For The Tools?

Player Player, Do You Think I Am Easy,
Like A Warm Summer Day's Cool And Breezy,
Boy, I Really Ain't So ******,
If Only You Tried To Find The Real Me

Why Should I Believe,
In A Better
                                                          ­            Tomorrow
When All I See Is
                                                              ­           Misery
                           *Why Should I Love,

When All I Feel
                                                            ­                  Is
                                       Hate,
Where Am I
                                                                ­          Going
Where Am I Going
                                                                ­            To
Be In This Paraless Universe
        
                       Let Me Just Leave From This,

Just Trust Me And It'll
  
                                                                ­            Be
Okay

Allow Me To Be
                                                              ­     Vanquished
From This
                            Dream Killing World,

Let Me Spread My Wings,
                                                          ­                If

I Decide
                                                          ­     I Can Fly From
I Shall Feel No More

                                                           ­           Pain

                                       If I Can

                                                          ­   I Will Finally Be
And It Will *All Be
                                                              ­       Okay

Dawn Returns To A Land Of Darkness,
Shadows Long,
Lights Blinking Quietly,
The Clicking Of Feet On Concrete,
Are Covered By The Roar Of A Giant,
Green Leaves With Flecks Of Yellow,
Surround A Sun Bleached Road,
Last Night's Rain,
Left Marks On Chilled Pavement,
Sunlight Hits Strait On,
Allowing You To See Your Reflection,
Then It Slowly Slips Off Your Face,
Leaving You In Darkness,
A Melody Buzzes In Your Ear,
But You Are To Disoriented,
To Listen To The Words,
A Field Glistens With Waterdroplets,
Dancing In The Suns Returnimg Light,
As A Yellow Monster,
Prowls Along The Road,
Clouds Whispy And Smooth,
Covered By A Bright Blue Sky,
Look Over You Below,
You Pass The Road Of Memories,
The Road Of Old New Beginnings,
And You Keep Going,
With Out Even Turning Your Head,
And As The Sun Slips Behind The,
Dark Whispy Clouds,
You Are Left In The Darkness,
Once Again

A Pale Pink Hovered Over The Tree Line,
As Yellow Enlived Winter's Stark Dusk,
The Wood Down Below Was Quiet And Still,
The Snow Laden Trees Firm Yet Picturesque

I Found Myself Watching From My Window,
Supervising The Skies Darkening Blue,
And As I Watched The Sun Lay Down For Rest,
I Found Myself Thinking Of Someone New

There Is Only One Race,
The Race Of Reality
There Is Only One Race,
The Race Of Humanity,
Someone's Color Does Not Bother Me,
It Is There Heart That Matters,
They Could Have Skin White As Can Be,
But A Heart That Is Black And Battered

Race Does Not Exsist,
It Was Made By Humans To Create Control,
I Could Be Racist,
But The Only I Color I Judge Is That Of Ones Soul,
I Don't Mind A Headdress,
It's Simply Just Clothes,
Im Tired Of Peoples Heartlessness,
Over What Someome Else Chose,
If Someone Speaks Another Language,
That Is Fine With Me,
English Is Average,
With Words I Don't Know All I Hear Is Beauty

You Should See The Beams Of Hatred,
Towards Anyone Of A Differnet Color,
Good Friendships Wasted,
Or Maybe Even A Lover,
I Don't See Myself As White,
I Don't See Myself A Caucasian,
I Don't See My Self As Light,
I Dont See Myself As American,
All I See Is Who I Am Inside,
I Wish Other People Could See It Too,
I Wish People Could Confinde,
In The Person Inside Of You,
Behind All The Clothes,
Behind All The Skin,
Or Whatever Comes And Goes,
Just The Person With In,
I'm Not A Hippie I'm Just Saying,
People Should Ignore The Faces,
And See What's So Amazing,
Ignore The Races,
And Stop All This Creating

I Stare At A Keyboard,
26 Letters,
Able To Create A Million Words,
There Are So Many Words I Wish To Say,
But I Don't Know How To Say Them

Conflicted Feelings,
Swirl Through The Crevases Of My Mind,
Like A Warm And Cold Wind,
Meeting On A Gloomy April Day

A Storm,
A Rain,
A Waterdroplet,
That Will Allow A Beautiful Flower To Grow,
Growls In The Sky,
Of An Atmosphereless World

A Flower Will Never,
Live Forever,
But More Will Sprout,
In The Spring,
So In This Very Moment,
I Shall Nurture My Garden,
To Keep My Lilies Floushing,
So I Will Trick Myself Into Thinking,
They Are Immortal

Insects Slowly Climbed From Their Winter Sheets,
Making Their Bed With Hardly Any Care,
For The Snow Would Melt Away Any Day Now,
They Could Smell It In The Damp Spring Air

The Newborn Tulips Made The Morning Air Ripe,
In Which Sleepy Spiders Spun Their Silken Strings,
The Winter Fingers Which Gripped The River's Surface,
Slowly Released As Birds Stretched Their Thawing Wings

Music Returned To The No Longer Frigid Night Air,
Stars Swam In The Rejuvenating Eastern Sky,
As Nocturnal Critters Took To The Evenings Again,
With Their Reawakened Bodies Sleek And Sly

Almond Shaped Green Eyes,
Soon To Turn,
A Chest Heaving Sighs,
It's Almost Time For Her To Burn,
Burn Through Life's Pages,
Lift The Door From All These Cages,
Her Words The Outcome Of Pain,
Standing Proud In The Rain,
Her Strength A Silhouette,
In Societies Prized,
Time To Play Russian Roulette,
There Are To Many Things To Hide,
Lipstick On The Glass,
The Gun Ready To Blast,
Spines Of Books Watch,
And A Million Unspokwn Words Hang In The Air,
A Bullet Strikes The Clock,
Her Skin Still Fair,
Though Now It Is Covered,
In Intricate Red Lace,
A Light Burning Bright Is Now Smuthered,
Which Lays On The Floor,
Is The Rose's Shattered Vase,
Russian Roulette,
Played Fate,
That Silhouette,
Tried To Vanquish Hate,
Don't You Forget,
*The Sound Of The Trigger

People Say They Respect,
The Stength That I Own,
People Say They Respect Me,
Because It's So Easy For Me To Put Up A Smile,
Respect Is Something You Earn,
Not Something That You Automatically Get,
I've Busted My **** To Be Respected,
But I Am Slowly Crumbling,
From The Alliance's Change In Wind,
I Hate Pretending I'm Perfect,
I'm Human,
You Gotta Respect That,
Do You Respect The Pain?
Do You Respect My Name?
Who Ever Respects Me,
I Respect Them Back,
You Can't Be Respected,
If You Don't Respect,
Let Be Your Teacher,
I'll Teach You The Ways,
The Ways Of Getting Through The Rough Days,
I'll Teach You,
If You Don't Have A Clue,
How To Respect

Rusty Gates Close Slowly,
Licking Water's Clear Surface,
A Salt Water Lake,
One Made From Tears,
Another Sleepless Night,
Or One Filled With Nightmares,
Falling Stars Kiss The Atmosphere's Surface,
And Then Rebound Back Into The Dark,
Make A Wish,
Every One Counts,
A Fist Clenched,
Knuckles White,
Lips Soft As Rose Petals,
Pout Permentally,
And Eyes Green As Seaweed,
Are Read As An Open Book,
Medicine Is Out Of Reach When
It Is Most Needed,
And One Little Trip Up,
Will Make Her Go Insane,
And As The Rusty Gates Close Completely,
She Knows They Will Never Open Again

I
  Swear
              I
                 Always
                                Fall
                                        Into
                                                Playing
                                                               The
                                                                      Same
                                                                                Game

~~~~Winter~~~~
The blue moon shimmers,
Light grazing my frosted soul,
Each snowflake smiles,
When the sun returns the day,
If only she could be mine

                         *~~~~Summer~~~~
                        My heart burns brightly
                        The pain so very intense
                        For I am the flame
                        But my love belongs in frost
                        If only I could have him

~~~~Winter~~~~
The days grew longer,
As she quietly approached,
Her strides warmed the grounds,
But as soon as she reached me,
I was no longer myself

                      ~~~~Summer~~~~
                        His hair wasn't shards
                        His face was no longer ice
                        But he was now mine
                        Ever so slow I touched him
                        But my smile like him melted

Created By Bailey Kreutzer And Sydney Kakuk)

The Red Leaves Quivered;
Slowly They Began To Die,
In The Changing Breeze

A Crimson Heart Hurt,
In A Wind No Longer Warm;
It No Longer Kind

A Raven Had Called,
Sobbing In A Dying Tree;
The Sun Was Setting

A Full Moon Had Rose,
But The Wolf No Longer Sang,
For She Had No Song

Frost Covered The Earth,
Slowly The Crimpson Faded;
The World All But Ice

                                                                ­               My
                                                              ­                      Hot

A Ghostly Moon Climbed,
Over A Thick Tree Line,
The Ground Was Covered With Mud,
Adreniline Swam Inside Churning Blood,
A Lip Was Being Bitten,
To Block Back A Scream,
A Story Was Being Written,
Even Though It Was A Dream

Green Eyes Turned To Gold,
Ontop Of Wood,
That Was Rotting,
It Was So Old,
Talons Ripped Through The Moss,
Her Heart Was Being Tossed,
Around In Her Chest,
She Wasn't Human Then,
But She Was At Her Best

A Sly Silhouette,
Crossed Her Path,
She Was Playing Russian Roulette,
But She Faced The Wrath,
She Layed On Her Back,
To Ask For Trust,
Piercing Her Neck,
Teeth Felt Like Tacks,
It Was Hard To Stay Calm
But It Was A Must

The Shadow Realeased Thy Grip,
But It Didnt Let Her Leave Without Blood Drip,
A Cut On Her Sholder,
Left A Scar,
One She Gained Underneath The Stars

She Woke With A Fright,
In The Early Morning Light,
Blankets At The End Of Her Bed,
A Red Hot Pounding In Her Head,
She Looked Down,
And What Did She See?
The Wound On Her Shoulder,
She Had Recived

Sound Penetrates The Ear
& Seeps To The Soul

Singing Can Make
The Broken Heart Whole

Music Notes Litter My Mixed Mind,
Day Dreaming,
In My Personal Shrine,
Green Eyes Beaming,
The Ones In Which I Lay Behind,
Walls Of Red Bleeding,
Into The Oulets Of Time,
A Composer's Doubt Retreating,
Everything Is Fine,
Black Walls Enclose A Rhythmic Scheming,
The Core Of Life Preserved In A Hearty Rhine,
Dull As The Midnight Moon Gleaming,
Yet Colorful As The Tranquility Of The Divine,
In My Sanctuary Slow Songs Live--Teeming,
Swimming In Black Walls Which Are Entwined,
In A World Worth Believing,
Subdued In The Warm Scent Of Pine,
The Composer Ponders--Her Own Creating,
A Peice Blanketed With A Matrimony Vine,
Black Walls Comfort, After Days Living A Curse,
One That Is Layered In Every Line In Each Verse

Black Waters Sway Underneath The Moon,
As Kelp Promenades With Sleepy Tides,
The Sun Lay Motionless On The Sandpaper Floor,
As The Slow Swinging Seas Whisper A Faint Lullaby

The Snow Lazily Falls To Earth,
As I Clutch My Elbows And Clench My Teeth,
As Goosebumps Rise Along My Spine,
I Love The Snow,
I Love The Feeling Of Cold Piercing My Skin,
The Snowflakes Melting,
Freezing Water Running Down My Temples,
I Breathe In The Frigid Wind,
Frozen Air Swelling In My Lungs,
It's Just Like My Dreams,
The Cold Robbing Me Of My Human Mind,
Taking Away My Troubles,
Helping Me Walk Along,
The Path Of My Brothers And Sisters,
Now I Ask You Frosty Wonder,
Could You Make A Dream Come True?

As Horses With Blinders We Walk Half Blind,
Hate Grows With A Fury Strong As A Flame,
Ignorance Is Traded Like A Disease,
Cruel Words Infect Every Cell In The Mind,
And Every Mind--Is In Some Type Of Cell,
Caged In A Reality That Doesn't Matter,
But Who Is To Say One Even Does?
Our Souls Are Now Clouded With Confusion,
Our Hearts Centered In Narcissistic Joy,
This City Smog Turning Us Doves,
Into Copies And Clones Of Rock Pigeons,
Twisted Smiles Surreptitiously Lurk,
In Every Corner And Every Hallway,
The Real Question Is--What Have We Become?
It May Be Chiché--Ugly In Physique,
And It May Never Ever Be Answered,
We Know We Have The Power To Change It,
To Change All This Bloodcurdling Chaos,
But I Think The Question Really Is *When Will We

I Love The Feeling Of Dirt Frosting My Skin,
And My White Pants Staining From Muck,
I Pulled Out My Old Friends Today,
My Cleats, My Glove, And My Luck,
I Slipped On My Sliding Pants,
Ones I Haven't Worn For A Season,
The Hole On My Knee Matched It's Scar,
The One I Am Most Proud Of For Many Reasons,
I Just Had To Trace The Stitches Of My Ball,
The One I Missed All Winter,
I Am So Excited To Plow Myself Between Bases,
And Re-Awaken My Inner Sprinter

The Moon A Spotlight,
Hugging Me In Its Rays,
Sometimes I Prefer The Darkness,
More Than The Sunlight,
The Tree Branches Sway,
Giving Life To An Abyss,
A Passage For Dreams,
Dreaming About What Life Really Means

Do I Really Belong Here On Earth?
If All I Do Is Put Up A Fake Wall,
Do I Really Have A Light?
Which People Say Glow Inside Of Me,
Do I Really Have Enough Strength Left?
To Make It Another 80+ Years,
I Feel So Fake,
I Feel Like Plastic,
A Tree Trying To Reach The Stars,
But Being Held Back By The Ground

And As Dawn Slowly Approaches,
Dreams Recide With The Dying Moon,
And I Reflect,
As I Stand In The Freezing Breeze,
And As Colors Peak Over The Trees,
I Finally Know,
What Life Means

My Breath Suspended In The Air,,
The Chilled Autumn Breeze Kisses My Cheeks,
Brushing Up Against My Body Like A House Cat,
These Are The Moments I Love,
Solitude In The Strawberry Sunrise,
One Little Star Telling Me Good Morning,
Where A Leaf Falling To The Ground,
Is A Loud As Gun Shot,
In Dawn's Silence,
I Prowl The Pavement,
Like A Purple Irirsed,
Black Panther,
Cloaked In A Cape Of Secrecy,
I Am An Enigma,
Which No One Can Understand,
But As The Goosebumps Rise Along My Spine,
From The Cold Biting At My Flesh,
I Know Someday,
Every Moment Will Be Mine,
I Don't Want Sunlight,
I Want Moonshine,
I Love My Solitude,
Underneath The Starlight

Sometimes I'm Afriad,
He'll Leave Me,
Sometimes I'm Afraid,
That He'll Begin To Hate Me,
Sometimes I'm Afraid,
History Will Reapeat Itself

I'm Not Really Afraid Of Anything,
But I Am Afraid Of Being Broken Again,
Sometimes I'm Afraid,
I Won't Be Able To Control Myself,
That It's Only A Matter Of Time,
Before I Make The Same Mistakes,
I've Learned,
I've Grown,
But That Doesn't Mean,
I'll Ever Stop Being Afraid,
Afraid That All Of This Is Fake,
Afraid That He Is Lying To Me,
Like The One's Before,
I Don't Believe He Is,
But You Never Know

I Feel My Judgement Is Good,
And He Is The Begining Of Something New

It's Good Now,
But Will It Be Later?

The White Snow Glitters In Dying Sunlight,
Underneath Lie Frostbitten Dead Flowers,
I Know Not Of How To Stay Warm Tonight,
The Sun Slowly Dropping Every Hour,
The Tables Have Turned In Utter Despair,
My Muscles Screaming With Every Step I Make,
My Heart Lies Limp And Lame In Winter's Stare,
My Throat Laughs Yet My Soul Is Full Of Ache,
My Lips Chapped And My Eyes Frostly Glazed,
I Walk Aware Of The Panthers And Crows,
I Know I Am Their Prey--My Judgement Hazed,
Creatures Watch As I Walk On Bare Corn Rows,
Yet My Brothers Watch From This Whitened Wood,
I Knew They Would Save Me--I Understood
