Here in the darkness where I hide,
where sunshine would not reach.

Where all the happiness in the world I abide,
emotions I refuse myself to teach.

I'm all alone anyway, what's the purpose?
AN INTROVERT, AKA ME AND MAYBE YOU?

Everything teaches a lesson,
Whether it is to be kind,
Or to master yourself,
Control your own mind.

The birds teach us of nature,
Of its necessity in this world.
How black hearts can change
When exposed to its swirls.

The grass teaches us of empathy,
For when tears fall from the sky,
The grass dries them up,
And dabs at the sky's eyes.

People teach one another of compassion,
For the stranger on the street,
The homeless child who
Has nothing to eat.

Lessons are everywhere,
If you just look around.
I promise there are an
Infinite number to be found.

I shout out on the misty cliff
My echo answers back
Alone I stand to blame for this
Left searching for the facts

The Stars know I have spent my life
In search of how to reach them
I've jumped and fallen, climbed and fell
My thoughts, I want to teach them

If I can give my knowledge up
The stars can shine it down
They'll teach the world my secrets kept
Then maybe we won't drown
"Count the sheep
To go to sleep"
Said my mom when i was little

"Count the sheep
Rather than weep"
And i listened
For that riddle

I listened for my mother
For my whole life
But for now

Now i must listen
When my heart
Subseeds to frown

And that riddle echos on
And my mind begins to spin
And without a doubt
I have to shout...
The sheep will soon run out

"Count the sheep
To go to sleep...
Until u count no more,
Then go to bed, and wait instead,
Until u know what you wait for."
One day you must say goodbye to the traditions of the past, you must also learn to recognise whats truely just.

Please, take the handle
Of this forsaken candle
And teach how to burn...

Long ago, it couldn't handle,
this poor forgotten candle,
The way that love does ache and does burn...

parents teach us
how to take care of ourselves
but all we really want to find
is someone to do it for us

they teach us
how to manage the stress of life
but they don't want us
to handle it alone

teach us
how to care for
and love ourselves
but they want someone there
if we ever forget how

i found my someone

love
It means the glue to whatever makes up you,
It is the number unimaginable but you already knew,
It is like a birds eye view of the outside of a zoo,
It is your break through.
It is the memory of why you are what you're put through
Love is who taught me to be me and you to construe,
So when he falls you dont fall too,
My name is meaningless; a loose glove,
It means nothing without love.

My mother always said
'Strong people never fail'
But she didn't teach me
That you're worse enemy can be yourself.
Momma.
Why didn't you teach me
That when I'm 17 years old
Alone in bed
I'll cry because I feel so broken
I'll wake up
Cake on my make up
And draw a smile on my face
With bright red lipstick
Why didn't you teach me
That love never last.
But I guess that was a lesson I learned when you cheated on dad.
Why didn't you teach me
that I'll be dead long before my heart stops beating.

Learn to live your own life
Before you teach someone else
How to live theirs
