Don't let them silence your heart,
Don't let them tie up your wings.
They will try,
my god they will try.
More than once, twice, three times they'll pry.
Stay strong for yourself,
and for the ones who are unsure.
The life you're meant to live,
is waiting at the door.
Don't pass up the chance,
to just be yourself,
there are too many trying,
to be everyone else.
"I feel like a fake",
"I'm not happy at all",
I can't believe what I'm hearing,
aren't we in charge, don't we make the call?
You'll be told you have this thing,
they call it free will,
then they will shove it down your throat,
and say the only way you can achieve it,
is by swallowing this pill.
You'll have to say this,
look like that,
and say cheese,
It won't be until you wake up,
and see the marks on your knees.
as a receipt from selling,
your morals for cheap,
even though they told you,
you're better than the street.
How did you get here?
You thought they cared about you.
Well thats what they do sweetie,
and they don't care to who.
So spread out your arms,
and jump from the sky,
You'd rather the fall than know,
you could have learnt to run,
but all you did was crawl.

shallow friend see,
more exists than your comfort,
this is not your poem.

Peacocks on HP  .  .  .
Are not birds, yet dinosaurs,
Wingless beneath earth.
What do you do?
Where do you stay?
Oh okay, good to meet you
Now I have to move away.

What is that brand?
Oh its from that shady place?
No, sorry I can't meet you today,
I will call you later, have a good day!

What does your father do?
How much does it pay?
Oh alright well, speak to you soon,
I have to go now, I have a busy schedule, hey!

What am I doing tomorrow?
Well I have stuff to do
And I wanted to tell you that
We should go our own way!
Beautiful.
That's all we want to be.
But who has the power to define beauty? Is it really me?

Can I judge others like a critic?
No. I don't think that's what I'm here for. And what kind of beauty are we talking about, the shallow outside? This case that we're enclosed in? The one we dress up as if it defined our existence?

When we pass away nothing will matter more than the beauty we left behind, the impact we left on others lives not the way we looked today, but the way we made another's day. Beauty isn't simply about appearance-it's all of you as a human being.
I read somewhere that only God has the power to defund beauty and I couldn't agree more.

I've always loved your smile
It was so beautiful
And I was so jealous
I couldn't even speak
Certain things just shouldn't be changed you know?
Cause when it faded
So did my love for you
Money can buy some rice wine
But not a true romance
Wealth can blind some shallow eyes
But can’t win an excellent lady’s hand
Character, virtues, and patience
Soaked with true love and kindness
Will alone cause two souls
To be friends and lovers forever

Innocence traded for
Fun, *****, and an easy lay
What more is there in life?
That's all I want by the end of day

I used to be so innocent
With good thoughts in my head
But now I'd rather **** than sleep
When I lie in my bed

Carefree laughter given away
For carnal pleasures in the night
Companions valued in my lust
Are tossed away at morning light

Intellectual ideas put aside
For desires of the flesh
And a new girl every night
Just to keep things fresh

I've buried myself far, far down
I don't know how I'll get free
And now I'm drowning in my lust
With no way out that I can see

Nobody likes ugly
Cracked pills
Shackled head
Pushed down
To give you head
It's me you see
That used to be
Happy and free
But now I have added
And you have subtracted
On my resume
Good is gone
Bad has begun
Nobody likes ugly
And I am very
Very Beautiful on the outside
