Sunrise, we boarded the train
Weather was misty, with little rain

All were happy, all were cheerful
Hoping the ride would be peaceful

At noon, when sun kissed our skins
Came a knock from a folk, tall and thin

The lofty figure, all dressed in green
Entered hastily, with a big scream

"There is fire on the train behind"
That cheat cleverly played our minds

Then a fish market was all you saw
A horrible scene, impossible to draw

After all the tempest, and the storms
Bad and glad tidings formed

"There's no fire" the news spread
Misinformation our minds fed

Nothing but a lie told
While he stole all our gold

And the journey ended sad
Horrible, devastating and bad

Soon the angels whispered my mind
Make sure first, don't be blind
For all those who easily get fooled, learn lessons from the passengers on the train!!!! Stay home stay safe!!!

An empty frame
is not a window
is not a door
is not a mirror
so how do I see
behind the scene?

If you want to take my hand, just cross the line you drew there in the sand
If you open up your heart I'm sure you'll find
Love doesn't have to be so blind.
If you're afraid, it's okay to let it show.
Fear is how we learn to grow.
So if it's me you want to stand beside, just close your eyes and free your mind.
Do you want to be my friend
Or do you want to be my lover
Do you want to see a movie or meet me under the covers
When you figure out what you want just let me know.
But whatever you decide, let your true colors show.

The world is so cruel to you
But your words are so kind.
How can you trust people
or be nice to them
When they've robbed you blind?
I don't trust them.
But I believe that even though words
Have incredible power,
Actions have even more power.
So when life gets me down,
I think of a phrase
I act, therefore I am.
I act happy, therefore I am happy.
Yes, I'm still wearing a mask,
But if you say something enough,
you start to believe it.
I don't fully believe it yet myself.
But I want to get better
So I'm up to the task.
Are you?
Yeah...doesn't rhyme completely but important message nonetheless

Early morning
When little birds' songs are heard
Blinding sunshine pours into one window
With the smell of coffee
I smiled as I tasted the bitterness
Suddenly remembering you for it still lingers in my heart

I wanted you to love me as much as I did
But as WE, US
Was all in my head
I am just someone you need to fill your void

I said "I love you"
You responded "I love you too" with hugs and kisses, yes, neither it was warm nor cold
It doesn't feel right

No matter how much I love you
Your heart doesn't belong to me from the start
Your eyes didn't light up to my presence
Blinded with love I still continue to love you
I was alone in this fairytale of mine

It was then you no longer needed me
You rejected me, you denied me
It was easy for you to let go, easier for you to forget, for I was a nobody to you
I am the only one carrying this love
I am losing my mind that maybe
There can be YOU and I

My heart became numb
Unloving you is the hardest thing to do
If I could unsee the videos in my head
I'll erase all my memories of you
So I can't remember you
I know I can't be with you

I have been blind
for all my life
What disappointed me most
Is that when I opened
My eyes
To see for the first time

Your colors were dull
And my disappointment
Great.
When life happens

Sometimes, it gets dark
and other times I wish that I was blind,
because there are some things, I wish I’d never seen
but then there are some things that have no place in my mind

The world can be a scary place,
but when left alone,
my own mind can scare me more
than whatever thing the world has known

The world can be a scary place,
but more so I fear my mind
because whenever there’s a blank
it fills it in with all the horrors it can find.

The world can be a scary place,
but nothing’s scarier than me
because only I know what truly make me scared,
and how scary that can be.
I often scare myself, and sometimes it feels like my own mind betrays me by making up scenarios that will never happen.

I get undressed and pat my bed
Until I find the pillow that rests beneath my head.
As I slide beneath the sheets,
I can't help but get excited
As I hear the pitter patter of your feet.
Then the bed creaks,
And as you get closer,
My face gets hotter. I'm sure it's as red as a beet.
Now, I feel something close to my face.
It's not my pillow, but a warm embrace.
As my head lays to rest, I can't help but wonder
if it's cradled in your hands or your *******.
As I lay there, tears stream down my cheek
And then, I feel blessed as I hear you, my angel, speak.
"What's wrong, my love?" you say as you wipe away my tears.
"I just wish I could see you.
To be able to look you in the eyes and "thank you."
You have no idea how much it means to have you here."
You just smile, kiss my head,  and stroke my hair until we fall asleep here in my bed.

Clouds before the moon again,
as if she had put his hands over her face, leave it, old friend

We are all like that
Can't take it sometimes
