The tides are taking me home,
On a bed of shimmering ice.
The dawn of your smile,
The heart is on stake,
For the hope of those days,
I will carry this break.
For the coffee you make,
I live out this day,
To see you smile,
To see your heart in fire,
I would open those doors,
To the chance of you and me,
Standing in the sea,
Holding your hand.

Sometimes, I snap
Some things that I wish I could take back
Because when I do them I catch flak
And I fall into a punishment trap

And
I just want to defend
All my friends
Until the end
As peacefully as I can
But my patience is easy to bend
And yet everyday I pretend

That I'm Mr Cool
Nobody's fool
Yet in fact I am a fool
For believing I could deceive you all
From the fall
Without  a warning call

But yet even when I persevere
I just can't and the results are always severe
You know they all say "no fear"
Yet I do and my eyes have shed many a tear

All I wanna do is just chill out,
Have some good times and not freak out
Share the fun and not the pain,
Did this all yesterday
Now I wanna do it all again

Living in the past
Thinking this is my last
Moment coz life is fast

But I
Hyperventilate
Tryin' to delay chance and fate
Open up this mystery crate
Look inside all I see is dead weight

That I carry in my chest
My inner demons I try to best
This annoying f*cking little pest
Eating my heart, wants my eternal rest

But I must stay alive
For my friends I must survive
Even if my demons deprive
Me of the the will to live that I possess inside but

All I wanna do is just chill out
Have some good times and not freak out
Share the fun and not the pain,
Did this all yesterday,
Now I wanna do it all again...

I wish for inner peace
And safety for those that I call friend
Save them all from myself
Don't wanna be nobody else
For honour and loyalty I will defend...


All I wanna do is just chill out
Have some good times and not freak out
Share the fun and not the pain,
Did this all yesterday,
Now I wanna do it all again

For my friends until the end
                                                             ­      Just chill out....
I will fight and I will defend
                                                          ­          Don't freak out....
                                      Share the fun and not the pain,
                                             Did this all yesterday
                                       Now I wanna do it all again....
A rap, actually, but straight from the well where I store my poetry. :) enjoy!

I can't remember the last time I played my guitar and I know when he gets home he'll ask me whether or not I've been playing like the star that he wants me to be well no, I'm sorry.. Please don't hate me for not wanting to carry out your childhood dreams that somehow became my own I just want to survive without becoming too broken before the end.
Put your hands up
If you're wanting things you can't control to finally change for the better
Put your hands up
If you're wanting something more out of this rock
Put your hands up
If you're tired of being victimized
Put your hands up
If you're tired of being treated like your nothing
Put your hands up
For those who don't have hands
Put your hands up
For those who don't have legs
Put your hands up
For those who don't have Mothers and Fathers
Put your hands up
For the hungry
Put your hands up
For the suffering
Put your hands up
For the poor
Put your hands up
If you're cognizant that your problems are just a tiny fraction of a molten galaxy-share your pain with the rest.
It's a great way to make sure unity survives

I'm tired of surviving.

Look at the people who survived on islands
abandoned and lost
Look at people who survived car crashes
mangled and broken
But they survived
They are the definitions of survivors

Look at me I went through some ****
but my life isn't in danger anymore
so why do I feel like I'm just surviving?

I don't want to survive anymore.
I want to live.

A year ago today I woke up.
And for the first time in years
The sun rose,
Its rays blinding me,
Not with helplessness
But with hope.
I stretched and the sadness slipped away
As the anxiety evaporated in the morning heat.

A year ago today I saw the world for the first time
All its bright lights and smiling faces.
I saw how wonderful it was to be alive.
I stood in the centre of the world
Consuming the beauty,
Breathing in the wonder.
To think I could've stayed asleep
And been oblivious to this place.

A year ago today I breathed a sigh of relief.
It had gone.
There was no longer a black hole within my heart,
Destroying my happiness.

Oh my god it is wonderful to be alive.

A year ago today I woke up.
And I smiled.
It was over at last.
It's been exactly a year. I am so proud of myself. Life is so wonderful and so precious, don't you dare try to end your life because you are brilliant.
oh my stars Sep 2015
we are just two broken shadows
clinging to each other
desperate to love and be loved
we find solace in one another
equally hurt and destroyed
we have both witnessed the destruction of our own hearts
seen them obliterated into thousands of pieces
littering our souls with pain
but together we will survive.
i love you
i'm so glad that i have him in my life

The world cries
For the mother, who works
And works,
And had dreams
That did not involve
Cement walls,
Cement floors,
Cement ceilings,
Torn muscles,
And numbness in
Her hands.

Those beautiful,
Calloused hands.

There's a guy out there
With no home
Or family to claim,
But he'll rob her
For all she's worth
If it means to damper
The hunger and
Shakes.

He knows a "doctor"
That'll take care of him
So long as his palm's greased
And the supply is good.
Sure, it's not love,
But after his dose
It won't matter.

The guy would mourn
If he died;
Not for him, but for
The loss in demand.
Hard to make a buck
Around here, nowadays.
Guess you have to do
What you can to
Survive.

I reach out for your hand but my grip isn't that strong
you wouldn't dare let go of me
and I am here asking you please
stop holding on

Let me fall so I can become stronger on my own
If being alone is what it'll will take
then let the isolation come in thousands
and swallow me alive

I'll make depression look like a fantasy
a never ending storm of chaos
cause nothing could be more destructive than
my own mixture of time and troubled thoughts

And yes you'll try to help me, but I am so far from help
I rather suffer in silence then see the same pain I know in your eyes
so I am asking you for your own sake
to let my hand go, I can do this on my own
... at least I think

How did you hide these scars?
Do I know who you really are?
The times are getting harder
Take my hand I'll guide you through
I could be there for you
Just take my hand
Take my hand
Don't leave me here
I have so much to tell you
You deserve to be living with me
I should have known
You can still survive
Don't go
You never said goodbye
How did I not see these scars?
Why didn't you let me help?
I should have known
You have yet to take my hand
Please speak to me
Do something, anything at all
Just please don't say goodbye.
