I am a simple man,
A grey in the rainbow clan.
I cry when pinched and smile when winked.
I lay on the grass staring at the stars, into the earth I sink.

I lie, I try, and I wish to live while wanting to die.
On the edge of the cliff I sway, If I jump will I fly?
Clutch my safe while it distorts to danger
I turn around and through the pain, I meander.
Sometimes you feel you gain too little than you have lost. We try to see beyond the ruins of our lives and find solace in the little things that go unnoticed only to find a cliff, a dead end. You might feel tempted to end it all, an escape but that is the point when you clutch the little something you have and turn around for the better.
It is not ONLY you swaying at this cliff, lets all of us swayers hold hands and hold on tight till we sail through.

The man in black
Waiting someone that never comes back
A lost is going bad
The heart is already dead
Drinking poison to moves the mad
Fixing tears to cut the sad
Forget everything that never get

I've always had an affinity
for sugary treats
and he's the sweetest
I've ever met.
Yet,
my tastes have changed.
As I licked his saccharine lips,
I realized
I've outgrown my sweet tooth.

When I was little, I dreamt of a beautiful man.
He would take me in his arms and carry me away.
We would hold each other under the twinkly lights,
and fall asleep Like that.

Then I would wake up, and steal his body.
Then I would step inside and wear it.
Then I would go out into the world,
and be myself.

I would be happy to say hello to everyone,
and be unabashedly me, in a proper body.
And whether  people were kind or hateful,
it wouldn't matter.

Because I was in love with me.

The future is looming over me
watching every step i take
waiting for my life to fade.
I never do fade.
I live in the present
living for my parents
living for my friends and
never for myself.
Healing from the past
still wearing a gas mask.
Stuck in images of my own wars
how many lives I’ve changed
for better
for worse.
He is the worst,
the ghost of the man in the mirror.
His pale skin hushed in the moonlight
eyes red as the fire in his stomach.
I'm left hoping for a future
where this ghost could be alive.

Every night keeps within it's protective cupped palms
At least this much; few bright moments of calm.
But she was a night so perfectly wedded to the dense dark,
Even in love, doing diabolic best, as if nothing else'd work
Never occured no other,in her thoughts or deeds ever.
But he seemed to be not  aware of his eye sight's fatal error,
Always read all her printer's devil just as if all of it's  right,
Her many decisive acts finely co ordinated,  finished him quite,
Love the first casuality, gave an impetus, then followed the rest.
He who fell head over the heals for her, slumped face down in the pit

Enlighten me darkness,
For you hold the key,
Unlock the chains that restrain me

Darkness my friend,
It’s now time to set me free
Tear down these walls and uncover me,
Let me crawl out of this hole
And uproar the cry of a free soul

Enlighten me darkness,
Let me go my friend
I will never return,
I won’t be blind again

know that i have been patient,
tolerated lies in every statement;
don't ask me why this is the end.
