#deserved
A story told many times before A terribly ugly monster, rotten to the core I think we all tend to forget That before she was a threat She was once like us Not something to cuss She was serene and holy And to Athena her heart belonged wholly But the people to whom our hearts belong Fail to protect us from other’s wrongs We are shamed for their sins Betrayed by our very own kin Dejected, we carry our heads low Aware of the “poison” we blow We forget our beautiful features Golden light blown out by those creatures You were never the one meant to be cursed Should’ve never been the one to go first Maybe in reality… …the monsters we see… Are the ones we least expect them to be

I saw that split Maroon All over your Royal cloth But not that of wine or grapes But of a betrayal beyond imagination You never deserved this. Only a select few do Who knew you'd end Like that of the rose Or maybe that of apples That hangs on The tree The tree you were never meant to see You were evil, oh tyrant but you helped us all So did you deserve this? Was it meant to happen? If you were just another person Hanging around in the streets Would you have been murdered too? This time, would anybody care? So, soak in your cloth And meet your god I'll stay down on earth And walk paths unknown to you

Maroon
Fly, fly, fly away Ulysses Now that you have wings; Metamorphosis freedom From doom ridden cocoons. Dream bad dreams away Ulysses Now that you’re far from me; Gleaming dew, new kingdom With kaleidoscope rooms. Amber Phantom, transcend this plain With your monarch to the skies. May Heaven’s light bless you To forget the stings of our night- Confessions, confessions of your name Ulysses, tear drops from crystalline eyes. I coveted a soul absent body to abuse- I found a Goddess small enough to bind. - Fly, fly, fly away Ulysses, Sparkling star in an absence of light. Flying slower after barbed entanglements, Fly away, away, and don’t look behind.

I used to curse everything I touch Not because of love But because of selfish thoughts. I thought that flattering speech Would break your wounds Not make things bleed, But I blinded myself with my lust And desires of feeling your want And your trust. Manipulation was always my hand, Playing the cards that I can, No thought out plans! Why didn’t anyone break me down So that I could bleed And learn to stop bleeding others out! I was no different from the other guys Who broke hearts left and right With their selfish eyes! Selfish soul, selfish heart, selfish hands, Selfish plans, selfish wants, selfish thoughts, Selfish love, selfish hugs, selfish drug, Selfish kisses, selfish wishes, selfishness is Still my poison, still my pride, still my go to every time, Still my way of acting, still my way of thinking, Still my words, still all I’m speaking, Still my default, still my function, still my assumption, still my production, Still something that I look in the mirror and see, Still something I’m praying for God to take away from me.

Magnolia
You deserved to be loved Even so much more Than you can think of You are worthy Of tender care Of profound affection The world is just Not that generous now Kind of stingy Making you feel insecure And unwarranted affliction But please believe You deserved to be loved More than enough Soon you will see This is the truth Not just some consolation

Solace
You wondered why you keep finding broken angels everywhere. All so scarred and yet deserved to be loved. But they keep putting walls so high to prevent people hurting them. You forgot, they weren't supposed to be down here in the first place. -HIY

Fallen angels.
And for those of you who don’t Find Trump to be pernicious, He shows his *** to one and all, I hope you find it is delicious. For those of you who lived in Dream castles of foolish hope You have backed an evil man A charlatan and a dope. If you tried hard and long You could not have done worse And that is the reason for This neener neener verse. I can’t think how he could Have warned you any better. He promised things intelligence Could discredit by the letter. He said he would do stuff So totally unconstitutional, That made the rich richer, And proved you were delusional To trust a total ripoff guy Who has been cheating for years. Why did you think this fool Would allay any of your fears? But still you all waved high His stupid Chinese-made hats; Bought him gold and diamond studs For his brand new fancy spats. And now he’s in the Capitol Laughing at all of you dolts YOU gave him weapons to use on you Instead of a thousand volts.

How deep should i make it?
I think I saw you sometime yesterday You had your hand in the pocket of a man Saying things that you don't understand Like you do every single day Maybe all the good girls got away And the man's got a smile on his face I don't think he truly understands What he's done and what he's gonna face Did I mention, that you may have your taste You're still just an old disgrace A perfect day on a Sunday afternoon The cafe crowd and a quiet, calm monsoon Reaches down into a bag colored like the sun And pulls out a gold encrusted gun I hope the man had his days of fun

Crazy Only Kills Itself
Oh heart, You have been in pain. For all this time. You ache everyday, As the war goes on. Fear thee not, Thy scorn will be venged. When your mate of fire. Comes to your bend. Fear not my love, My heart of Desire. Your love will come, He will be engulfed. In healing Fire.
