Danger
They wanted more
For them to suffer
To believe
This isn't the world
You can live in

Stranger
Spread words on them
For them to bow
To believe
This is the world
You could hope

Ranger
He survived enough
For himself to strive
To believe
This is the only world
He could prosper

Which do I choose?
When given the choice of either:
A bullet to the head
Or a knife to the heart
How do I choose?
When I know the result from either:
Will be the end of me,
As well as impossible to recover from
Why do I choose?
How did I get myself into this. either:
From being in a state of limerence
Or finally finding someone who appreciates me
What do I choose?
I need to make the choose and either:
Use my brain, take the knife and perish
Or follow my heart, take the bullet and be in forever pain
I don't know what to do

We all have a flame in us.
One that is unique in
colour and fuelled
by your passions.
Don't choose
to die before
sharing its
light and
its heat.
This is something I keep telling myself anytime my mind is in a dark place and I nearly do something reckless. We're all unique. Share what your passionate about to add to the world.

Anyone can say sweet things
To sway your heart in one way or the other
Without meaning or thought
Just plain words
To bring you deceitful happiness

But I'm not anyone
I say what I feel
And mean what I say
I care for you in not just simple ways

You could be defective
You may be confused
Even a little scared
But you're the one I choose
So listen when i say,
No quiero la mejor, quiero el que ya he elegido

There Is no shame in the degree of uncertainty. It's not easy to grant someone your trust, especially when it concerns things you can't afford to lose, such as your marriage, the well-being of your children, your job, your assets, your professional reputation, or your personal honor.

A name on a form
speaks in front of you.
Focus on that
not the box they tick
when asked to pick
a side
when they don't quite fit
in either.
i had an interview today and we spent more time discussing my gender than my academic ability

I choose you.
And I will continue choosing you, over and over again.
With no hesitation, without a pause;
No doubts, nor second thoughts.
I will keep choosing you.
Even in a heartbeat, it will always be you whom I choose.

Through labour divine have I crowned my true self
Through heart I have nurtured pours love so to help
Mine eye witness the highest of truths
Whilst the lexical throat turns to glorious sooth
With grumbling pride geared forth in direction
Clutched sacral chamber in the hope of perfection
To be found

Let the beast within me refuse to bow
In the face of doubt
Conjure king bearing iron sickle
With this riddle he tickles and teaches me
That to let go risks one anonymity
To the passage of time

I shall have to decline thy generosity

For his other bears specular mountain to climb
So I may look upon splendorous peaks of life’s mind to remember
How these steely, dark quandaries must be quietened and tempered
Upon the anvil of hope

The hammer of the philanthropist’s humour will bear down
On this ill-advised, mischievous sprite renowned
As she nibbles at my future’s lobe with sensual demeanour
It is a pleasure to see her

Yet I know this dark queen is a **** in disguise
As the beast rattles its cage demanding demise
Of the higher self
One stroke
I allow
For the sake of goodbyes

These phantom personas aside
We will quickly define ourselves
Alive and well
Each limb we have is able to tell
The story of our privilege
Honour this
Dally not
This is your shot
With the arrow of certainty
Blessed with serendipity
Honed by universal energy
To focus your senses
Then fire away
The reward is life’s blessing
Beginning this day
