I got in trouble so much as a kid For screaming or yelling at my parents Siblings Or anyone else And it took me 27 years to no longer feel like a wretch for that, But it finally hit me today: Why does anyone shout? They're trying to be heard. And I shouldn't have had to raise my voice Just so they would listen. It's not my fault that I had to scream so loudly In order for someone to hear me.

listen
The simplicity of my words scare me The depth of my emotions cannot scratch the surface A whirlwind of chosen pieces Fog my mind I am a slave to a game I cannot win How do I become better At presenting my passions stronger? I am weak with the thought of failure

Barely
afraid to ruffle your feathers, i avoid your waves. i lie so that you won't be annoyed, "the usual." am i your servant that i should be afraid? That i should be...pleasing you? ashamed of my life. ashamed of something, someone that gave me life. i shouldn't be ashamed of saying "God." i shouldn't be ashamed of hesitant to say "Lord" i am not gonna say sorry. i am not gonna say sorry for something i did right. so please. listen to me. thank you for listening to my mess. but. hear me out on this. please.

Listen to me.
I’m scared to speak out. Scared to be seen...as weak. That’s not me. I’m put together. Born to be super. But I’m not. I get tired. I break. I’m not invincible. And most of all. I’m not perfect. Writing is my escape. It’s where i speak loudest. I just wish I was heard.

Help me
Healthy heart hurts, hesitantly. Her hollow home hears him. Horrific. How her heart Hi-jinxed her happiness, He hoaxed her, heckled her. How homely. How hopeless...

Hi-jinx
Unheard is a whisper in the wind, faintly talking in your ear. He's the figure hidden in plain sight, Forgotten... He knows everything that goes on, because he is unheard he is not seen... His dark blue eyes, watch all, waiting, to finally be noticed... Unheards dream is to be heard, for his silent pleas for help to be met. He spends his time at home listening to his music, full blast to block out the constant fighting... He finds peace at the roofs edge of tall buildings, inching further each day... Unheard hides behind a curtain of black hair, like the roses he carries in his pocket as he climbs the stairs to the top, leaving white roses as a trail behind him... He steps that final inch... Unheard fades to the darkness as the commotion rises... He is finally heard, But it's too late, his stories over now...

Unheard
*The splash of water slowly fades I managed to stop the exploding grenade The lightning bugs didn’t even bother to buzz The birds, the cats, the howling wolves, i hush I quiet the city sound, the busy street I suppress my heart, every beat I shut everything, everything to hear you I silenced the milky way galaxy to listen to you And then there I heard, i heard everything The silent cries, the tears pouring The commotion, uproar in your heart The emotions wanting to burst I heard your heart shattering I heard the blood dripping I heard every breath you released As you picked every broken piece I heard a happy noise Followed by a cracking voice You break out a long sigh Then a very desolate cry I love the riot in the stillness Because I can clearly hear you Every fiber of you Every sound of you And for you, my secret love I will shut the world and open my ears to you Until the day I finally hear a genuine laugh I will silence every galaxy in the universe Until the day you finally hear me too*

Days go by fast
In OUR arms, is the only place where WE exist, in this single kiss, we share a soul, as we become bright for one another, the light is our common goal, in a flashing moment in time, we hit there in our prime, gas and dust, diamonds and rust, ExPLoDE we collide, feelings we can't hide, bits form restless, and because of your gravitational pull, .. you become, my entire world... ... all over again.

In OUR Arms
Breathe Into my mouth Breathe Into my life Breathe Into my soul Speak And I will be Your mouth Sing And I will be Your voice Command And I am Yours I stumble And You pick me up I cry out And You hear me I ask And You answer I knock And You let me in I am free Because of You I am healed Because of You I am Yours Because You love me

How sad can blue make you? Is it because of the silence too? Where do I begin telling the truth? One day I will be as lonely as a ship out in the blue Spinning down a whirl pool spiral loop after loop I know it will be over soon. My heart begins to beat faster and faster until my veins break loose And again I bleed everywhere, but this time blue. I fall into this emotional lagoon It makes me despondent and there is nothing I can do, But to wait for this anxiety to pass, and I can subdue.

You Make Me Blue
Oh, mind, do you mind me minding? I'm finding it hard to open my eyes, It's blinding. I see only darkness in here. She kind of likes the feeling of fear. Oh, mind, why is this pleasure unknown? True happiness is found when you are alone. Why do the aimless things linger in my head? Are they incidental? I remember what everyone says. Oh,  mind, I'm minding the path to my soul. I hear my heart beat after all. Just as a soulless beggar on a drum I pass by and begin to hum. Thoughts turn into song, Her thoughts turn into wrong. Oh, mind, do you mind me minding? I'm finding it hard to open my eyes, Sorry for wandering.

Does She Mind Me Minding My Mind?
I've felt exposed and blinded by light And lately felt too free But I love it when Dan says If you're warm, then you can't relate to me
