Flying through the crisp air
Waving like my freedom fine

In declarative mind
This is for you
Because I believe the opposite
That somewhere between your extreme and my distaste
Lies the truth

This is what I find
Freedom Of Opinion Is A Flag In The Wind

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY

I'm laying down
Head on my pillow
Wondering you're doing the same
Knowing you, probably not
I can close my eyes and picture you
Easier than I would like
Sitting in bed
Watching tv and
Eating lukewarm ramen
I shouldn't miss you like this
We never had anything
Yet I still hold out hope
That we can change that
So uh... remember how I was talking about how I wasn't gonna be selfish? Yeah... bout that...

Like I hope one day, eventually your name will be erased out of my mind.
Ur name wouldn't bring back bittersweet memories like before.
Cause then, when I am fully healed, I would be able to love someone without the unwanted toxins in it.
Anything would just be enough, eventually in time.
So I'm guessing that right now, it's just a temporary goodbye.
the first letter of every sentence, love.

Morning star, a goal unreachable.
In contrast  to the obvious,
A dream that's untouchable.

We all fallible, a walking fault
In a barter system, we born
That's systematically flawed.

I applaud,
The human resilience
In the face if adversity
They get lead by simplicity

Surviving for eternity,
A simplistic notion of simply to live
are we scared of the unknown,
Or, is it the nothingness in death.

We stress,
Yet life just pass us by
The next time it passes
Jump on, and just smile
There things we control and thing we cannot,
So forget about things we can't
place it in the attic, with the cot
We all grown up, so let's live by this rule
Live life to the fullest,
we are poets at heart
Let's expose what in this world is untrue.

Power is gravity pulling you down
Till your feet meet reality cold and hard

Anger is nothing but a gleam of a crown
As you try and find your way in the dark

Just as speed can be blind without focus of mind
We are present, though it's not yet known what we'll do

But you'll hear the clout coming like a fire in the mountains
And you'll feel that same downward force once we are through
This team isn't immortal. We're just terrifying to face. And it's so much fun to be a part of.

Sun
You were like the sun.
Bright and warm, comforting,
Hot to the touch.

I thought myself impervious to your blinding rays.

…I was naïve.

In the end, I had gotten too close,
Stayed too long,
And I got burned in the aftermath.

No amount of aloe could treat this wound,
Nothing to prevent my broken heart from peeling,
And exposing the raw, embarrassed flesh beneath.

Was it wrong of me to assume?
That if I fell,
If I stayed long enough,
I wouldn't require any sunscreen?

My friends had all warned me.
Told me to make sure I was cautious,
That the sun-falling in love-was dangerous.
If I didn't look out for myself,
It could cause serious damage.

And I suppose it had.
I can hardly look in the mirror,
Seeing the ugly marks that the sun-you-left behind.
Like this,
How could I allow myself to be seen?

Everyone would know.
That I'd been careless,
Thought highly of myself.
They'd know that I'd paid the price,
For holding out hope like a fool.

I…don't want to admit that I've been burned.

So for now, I'll apply as many gels and creams as I can,
Until the pain goes away.
