For each breath i take
i die a thousand deaths
the pain echoes through my lungs
a burning fire impossible to quench

i gasp for air waiting to be heard
how much time has passed
since I've been forgotten

but than here you are right in front of me
with your hand reaching towards mine
pulling me out of the pain i was trapped in

you are sturdy like stone
but soft underneath me
all i can think through this moment
is how did you find me

and with a intake of breath i realize
that the pain i had been carrying with me
the one that once consumed my every thought
has now dissapeard

how is it so that when you least expect it
love can come bursting forth
it comes in all shapes and sizes

big or small
tall or short
true love truly has no form

you pull me in deeper shielding me from the bitter
cold winds of the raging storm
to be loved must be like flying
once you lift up you no longer want to land

And if we're no longer slaves
Why do we lend an ear to
the demons' voices?

And if  we've been saved,
then why do we still believe
we're chained?

And if we're children of God,
why do we care what the devil's prickle
Can hurt

And if we believe,
why don't we thrive?
why don't we conquer?

For we're slaves no more,
For we're powerless no more
For we're worthless no more.
I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God

As time pass by
My memories of you die
I had hopes that we'll never say goodbye
but there's no more room for one more lie

I'm done chasing people.
It's way harder that chasing my dreams.
If you want to stay astray
Go on, I'll be out of your way.

It's my right to say no
Whats not OK is the looks you get when they don't like your answer
Whats not ok is the sounds they make when they don't like your answer
WHATS NOT OK IS THE **** THEY SAY WHEN THEY DON'T LIKE YOUR ANSWER
" I did't want you anyway"
Good Because I said NO
So whether you decided you wanted me or not
I had made up my mind that YOU where not getting ME
Because I said NO
And when your face turns sour because I said no
I want you to understand
I DO NOT CARE
" Why are you being such a *****"
Well sweetie
Its probably because I was born this way
Insert ****** joke here to lighten the mood
Except it doesn't
You just don't want to look stupid
News Flash...it's to late
I said no
Because my body didn't want you
My mind wasn't into you
It wasn't the right time
I wasn't into it
insert rationalization here
Whatever the reason
I still said No
And Its my right

Breath softly into the night.
So I did
And the world
                                                         Fell Apart.
Like the tears,
As they fall from your eyes
At night,
                                                        I crumble.
The light I hold in my hands:
Burns, flickers, and fades.
As do my feelings.
The difference? Feelings stay
Unlike the flowers
                                                      They wither,
But I,
Burn, flicker, and fade
Till I drown memorialized.
And in the iris of your eyes,
I burn flicker and fade
As the world around me
                                                      Falls Apart.

All these things,
mean nothing to me,
stop giving me gifts,
you can’t buy me with things,

I’m on a flight with no baggage,
only carry on so carry on,
just checking in I just checked in on a flight,
gone into the light of the night so if you’re checking for me I’m already gone,

on a flight with no baggage,
can’t get used to taking this abuse,
I mean I know we’re all monsters,
but that’s no excuse,

and I know we usually destroy our own lives,
so why even try to improve I mean really what’s the use?

Destroying our own cities,
look what horrors we’ve become,
toying with our own citizens,
becoming old and alone instead of together and young,

living long enough to see ourselves become the villains,
growing ugly and old instead of dying beautiful and young,

oh Lord what have we done?

And I just want to escape,
please I want to leave and go anywhere but here,
see you don’t own me I’m not your doll,
so don’t call me baby or sweetie or honey or dear,

I am not any one of your things to be given,
I am not responsible for your oppressed childhood tears,

I am bigger than that,
I am bigger than you,
I am the Cheshire Cat,
I am the moon,

I am bigger than big,
I am a monster to monsters,
so no do not try and control me,
because I conquer those that try and conquer,

a monster,
with metallic scales and electric hair,
I grip your tiny Hell of a shell and crush your rig caged fury,
I step forward the earth quakes and my black eyes rage,

little man please,
hitting me doesn’t make you’re weak self stronger,
and I know I put up with your passive aggressive attacks before,
but I’ve turned into a monster and won’t put up with it any longer,

you’ve turned me into a monster,

so I’m standing up,
to all the times I’ve been knocked down,
I’m getting you out of my life,
and I’m getting me out of this town,

out of this place,
away from these things,
and I swear to God I’ll cut off my fckn finger,
if that’s what it takes to lose this ring,

all these things,
mean nothing to me,
stop giving me gifts,
you can’t buy me with things,

I’m on a flight with no baggage,
only carry on so carry on,
just checking in I just checked in on a flight,
gone into the light of the night so if you’re checking for me I’m already gone…

Stop hiding from yourself,
it’s time to shine,
you used to be your own worst enemy,
got to used to that when in fact you’re your best friend,

don’t be scared of your emotions,
let your Love Light shine,
you are a manifested miracle,
you are everything divine,

open,
no more fear,
life is too short,
to be scared,

stand up,
uncurl,
be here,
right now.
