Poetry your words flow with rhyme
it slowly passes time

Sometimes your meanings are as deep as the sea
other times it’s all about what I can see

You hide your presence in words
Making your intentions blurred

You tend to please everyone in different ways
For me, you bring out every trouble I hid for days

Poetry complex to me
Yet so simple are thee

You have saved me countless times before
I live another day as each stanza grow

I learned to stop dancing with the memory of you
to stop hoping someone else might fit in the depression your body left on my mattress
you were not my saving grace
I wake up in the morning and my sheets kiss my bare skin
the sun running across my shoulders, warmer than your hands ever felt
I am whole without you, I am whole by myself

I've lived my life long,
No longer shall I fight.
I've cried hard,
Now my tears will dry.
I've yelled for help,
But ended up saving myself.
There's nothing left for me,
I must die.
I was born to make a change,
that change was within myself.
Destined to become different,
But saw nothing was normal about me.
I've been different since birth.

you said that i clung too much and that i was making you drown
but how could you blame me? you kept throwing yourself at me
as if you were a life saver sent out to sea to save me
i was falling in and out of life around the time that you came by
you didn't save me, no, you aren't an ethereal being - you are just like me
you are just like me
human, merely being
here
where things tend to stray and life falls apart and comes undone
so i'm sorry that i clung
my love was too strong
but it was more than just love
it was everything and more
and you pushed me back out into the sea
but it's all right -
i never expected you to save me

"If my art somehow
Manages to save one life."
That's why I do it.

Save me, oh, save me
Don't you see I'm hurting?
Save me, oh, save me
Help me lift this burden

My heart is hurting
My wings are broken
My sky has darkened
And death lays sparkling

Where were you when I needed you ?
Where are the promises that you told me?
Where is my knight in shining armor ?
Where is the life promise with glamour?

But you lied
The hope I had died
So I reach deep inside
And finally realized
That it's only me that can save me
Only me that can Lead me where I need to me

So I no longer cry save me
For I know now
It's only I who can save me

Feeding the little thoughts
The doubts
The dreams I'm lucid in
But for a second they wrap around me
They grasp me with their warm hands
Tell me there's more
More to this
Something magical could happen
If you just wake up and run

And I believe it
In moments of anger
On days I'm misunderstood
I believe it
When I feel stuck

Feeding the little thoughts
Giving them characters and stories
Taking away from my own reality
To fuel this dream

And I'm sinking
Sinking ship
I feed these thoughts
And you reach out
And you save me
Every time

Done with the dark I step into this light,
it's been so long it's more than enough to excite.
It's a vision made up of light of the sun,
and the exciting part is that it's only begun.
This is a gift given to me
I know I don't deserve it
And the pride I've layed down is not even close to worth it
And this is just perfect,
though it's far from what I am,
That's why I'm glad that none of this is my plan.
And it's predetermined that I'm going to be the best of who I am.
Nothing's gonna stop me, not even if I'm outnumbered by the grains in the sand.
Just try me now,
you'll never know how.
Even if you land a punch it's still you to get knocked out.
Though the fight's not mine it's already been won.
And like I said before it is only begun
