you hate foreigners coming

Soy yo, y ¿Que más da?
Me miró al espejo y odio mi aspecto,
Bueno, quien soy mejor dicho
Y por la clase d persona que me he convertido

Rompo el espejo por miedo,
Miedo a saber que de verdad soy así
Huyó del reflejo, de las miradas de todos,
Basta, yo se quién soy y quién fui

¿Se pueden callar?
Solo quiero respirar y volar
Llora y reír
Cantar y brillar

Sin embargo el pasado me ha de abrazar
Y yo he de mirar
Ver en qué me convertí
Y ver cómo me marchite

If I were to tell you
All the stories
In my
Head,

Would you believe me
Even
If I
Said

That:

I see mortal war
Waging
In your
Plan,

I see me staring numbly
At the destruction
You are
Clad

In?

Fight me,
Fight me,
Tell another lie,

I’ll believe you
Once I die

And you close
Both my eyes.

Fight me,
Fight me,
Tell me again

That you are
Not
A foe,

But a friend.

Smite me,
Smite me,
Oh, God above.

Is my imagination
The same as your creation?

Spite me,
Spite me,
Oh, my dear friend.

Are you willing
To take me on

With your words
And not your hands?
I see young old skin
Fearing to feel
Paint wearing thin
Truth in a ring-pull

Deliberate distraction does what it must to retract us from us
But none of this has stuck

The privileged pretend, the poor attend
And stringed ones will strive for their view of amends

So shoot off their judge wig as fast as they send it
Use humour to poke, laugh like a blanket

Lie between the meadow and the edge
And wink at clowns with the mask of death...

I climb mountains
Camping along the way
Taking my time
Planning the play

Sometimes its hours
Maybe even weeks
Stuck in one spot
Cloud gazing from sheets

Taking these breaks
Barely even deserved
Numb in many ways
Unable to find words

Then realization hits
And its the part that kills
I've been stalling all this time
Just to walk over hills
I overpack for everything

How do I cross
a line that hasn’t been drawn,
How do I hold
the might of a thundering storm,
How do I kiss
the sea until it withdraws?

How do I break
A wall that hasn’t been built,
How do I pick
the flowers without letting them wilt,

How do I kiss
The sea until it withdraws?

How do I
Kiss
The sky

Until it withdraws?
2nd year a sophmore turning 16
cant wait for the day that I can leave
happy birthday too you, finally free
whose going to dead and gone at 13
dead and gone at 13.

wondering what I'm gonna do
stuck down here without you
I don't want to live alone
its so quite now you're gone
I'm so tired calling your phone
to no answer and a voicemail clone

I'm sorry

Tell it to my face,
No more hiding
Behind

My back.

Is this the life I’ve
Chosen
Or just the one
I’m forced to

Stand?

No matter how many
Seas I conquer,
No matter how many
Skies I paint,

I still feel this gnawing
Emptiness
In my heart

And

In my brain.

So,

Tell it to my face,
No more hiding
Behind

My hands.
Are the words that

Come out of

My mouth
The truth or
A desperate
Back-up plan?

Do you stand me
For a reason,
Or ‘cause you,
Too,

Can’t bear to

Run?

Do you swear
With more than
Your tongue,

That
It’s

Less than

What’s begun?
Fear has been there since the beginning
It has seen the rise and fall of mankind
Fear is all some people know
Yet some people claim not to have it
Fear is a complicated emotion
It can stem from trauma
Or even for no reason at all
Fear makes us feel unbelievably weak
But also makes us massively stronger
Fear has many forms
And also many reasons
Fear can be in the form of something simple
But the strongest form is of the unknown
Mercury Aug 17
Sometimes the s in she gets caught in my throat
And the girl I’m about to see turns into a he

That one simple letter that I never wrote
Like its existence just embarrasses me

I’m just not quite there! I can’t admit it out loud
Because what if it makes them think I’m odd?

I’m too scared to let myself stand out in the crowd
To let others see how permanently I’m flawed

So, I choose my fears above my love for her
And pretend I’m something I never were
I'm sorry.
