#loners
Haart I’m lonely but it’s fine My cycle of friends is minute Loners are explorers If I were a snail, I would stay in my shell as long as I could If I were the only tree in the forest, I would sit on my root forever And if I could live in a distinct planet, I would stay till my last breath is taken In solitude embrace I find my voice I don’t care about the outside noise I gain my poise in solitude so I rejoice Privacy is my sanctuary because peace is guaranteed My unknown strength unfolds like flowers sowing seeds The silence and solitary nature of my safe keeps me alive Now make a move and do what protects your peace

Life of a Loner
The city slept, waiting for dawn. Shopwindows and houses wholly slept. The moon and me were wandering lonely, Two sad loners being night windswept. Nothing will flurry, nobody'll bother. The night is dark and quiet awesome. The wind repeats the heartbeat in lockstep. I'm not in full. It seems I've lost some. I'm shuffling and the moon is nearby. I am sick out of this hellish pain. That night I parted with me in whole, That me, who forgave with no refrain.

Destiny
Someday you will love me, said the hopeless lover. Someday you will get over me, said the reckless loner. Someday you would want to come back, said the heartbroken mistress, Someday doesn’t exist in my head, said the cheating husband. Someday I will find my soulmate said the hopeful maiden, Someday, they will know your worth, said her loving bestfriend.

SOMEONE, SOMEDAY.
we comfort our souls with lies and we burn our homes to be free. we dab perfume on our dead bodies and we stitch smiles on faces to be happy. we turn up the music (too loud) to be deaf upon the cries of our names wedged between curses and scorching regrets. we try to dance along with the songs of ghosts - whose skeletons have been long forgotten in our antique closets. we drain bottle after bottle, light a cigarette after another, **** ourselves so we don't die - a surrender to loneliness is worse, after all. and so... we say goodbye without considering that we are worthy enough to stay, we apologize for the words we actually meant to say. we crawl back to our hollowed grounds - yet we love with the strength of that who has never been loved. we travel barefoot on unknown, desolate roads in the hopes to find where we belong. we do the mistakes we've done before, not because we are stupid, but god, because we've learned.

liars, loners and lovers
If it isn't popular, if it doesn't speak from some Religious text, many men will ignore it. There is nothing worse than not being Christian or being gay, I'm hated, I'm ridiculed, I'm forgotten, I have no friends. All the world knows this is the same at all ends. If you aren't Christian, they act like you have AIDS. In secret they avoid you. Some Christians are the worst haters, They always point out how "sinners" are supposedly haters, It does say in the Bible to avoid those who are non Believers when it comes to being close friends or on Any level other than business. I can see how Christianity Breeds hatred if you must witch hunt others in the process.

Pointless, Isolated loners rant
I love when you all over my lips And it's the same air that you and I breathe. As I take you to cleanse my soul With each breath I take you in. Why would I ever want to leave, When you keep me afloat when I'm drowning in my tears And vanish with my fears when I prophesy the future bleak. I blow you one last kiss,bye, As you burn,while you whisper with the winds "everything's all right"

If the shadows were not bound by the sciences of light, sometimes I wonder and fear if it too would leave me behind, because I do not fear being separated in the dark where mercy blinds the eyes. I am instead terrified that when the darkness lifts and the world illuminates with clarity, I will be standing alone.

"The Loner's Fear"
To the self-harmers, self-haters, the loathers, the detesters, Our homes were the hiding places of things sharp, pointy and jagged. Things to take away the pain with more pain, the fear with control, the uncertainty with decisiveness.   Because we did decide, to take ourselves apart. Bit by bit. Like their mutilating stares weren’t enough. Like their toxic words didn’t burn away our innocence. *What would you know you’re ******** You’re so fat a cow couldn’t compete with you. Hey there *** yeah run to mommy. Hey **** did daddy not love you enough?* But how could they know he isn’t ******** his mind is a beauty you could never compete with. And that fat girl hasn’t eaten a bite of solid food in eight days, because the word beautiful has never known how to never stick to her skin. And the *** doesn’t have a mommy to run to, she died fighting a battle he would never wish upon anyone, not even you. And the **** only wants to feel normal, hoping she will if only she can carve out enough of the bits that feel different. But if normal is you then normal is the worst thing in this world. Normal is a bully hiding their truth behind venom. Casting out into this world all their hatred, all their pain. Not caring where it lands. Whom it bruises. Whom it kills. The numbers are rising. Higher than a mountain we can ever climb up to. There are children on our streets. We don’t look twice. Our phones are outdated. We worry. What if our self isn’t enough. Maybe these shiny coins will get us our attention. Maybe then we will be enough. Because the person staring back from the mirror is a friend who never was, a stranger too familiar, perhaps a ghost with our truths dangling from the tips of its claws. Worry about yourself, because we will learn to be enough. We already learnt to sleep on the streets. Under the skies, near blue seas. They said we wouldn’t make it. But look at us succeed. We are already enough. More so. So much more.

I sit here on the Edge of Reality Lonely, searching the Galaxy People think I am losing my Sanity Or my Mentality is something to not be entered Everything seems bleak and hopeless and my body is trying to pull my soul from lifelessness When the world heals; my scars shall not The world  covered in disdain and “grace”… The saint like people are ignored by the famous Cookie cutter everywhere, Originality is nowhere Where everyone is money hungry Where everyone is *** hungry Where everyone is hungry Two are fueled while the other is left in the dust I’m not trying to make a fuss maybe some just Trying to allow people to think, with their own mind to see what they can find to open their heart and be kind With limited time We are at a bind How Can we see when we’re blind So Tell me what you know about dreams Tell me what you know about feeling something can’t even touch Tell me what you know about reality something you can’t see While the bumbles bees bee and the tree throws apples When the Govern govern and then Reality is ****** into pan And When people act like you’re Stan When addiction isn’t a fan and you're Trying to stop the Cars But you’re being held back by bars as the Cars fall off the Edge of Reality you realize all the duality but its too late Your head is being ripped off...fatality Now when the World's Ablaze and you feel Sub-zero Courage is their doing charades trying to show you their is more So get up and grab the stars and nothing is stopping you As more people get up and grab the stars left by you So Don’t be the bad guy thats make fun of people that die Be the person who can show the message of truth Be your own person The person who is not manipulated by things like the fox as the Donkey and Elephant duke it out for the final bout, The person who thinks of something higher than reality With the People who sit there on the Edge Of Reality +-

Her eyes and lips and waist are sad poems, which he finds pretty, but hard to look at, due to the fact that unlike anyone else in the world, he's indulged himself in the words she's composed of; he's ran his fingers over the black print covering her skin, and, mesmerized by her story, found solace in the melancholic stanzas of optimistic sadness. A girl with eyes as wide as the moon, maybe even wider, hides behind books and songs and movies, which prove nicer than the real world. He stands tall and silent, one epic poem too long for the world to read. However,while he's fast asleep, she runs her fingers over the words and pictures he's made visible to the world. One long, sad poem about the world, one the rebels would marvel at, about what it really is and what it never was. Tattoos starting at the nape of his neck, traveling down his arms and back, ink spilled upon a lonely canvas, displaying a sad but accurate portrayal of him: the boy who grew up too fast.. They're both odd and difficult to understand; they are the poems that do not rhyme, the ones with breaks midway through lines. Scriptures written along the brims of both their beings, about a precocious boy with tattoos and a naïve girl with dreams. Love and dreams and perfume and flowers, stars and books and blood and tears, tears and blood and fire and angst, want and drugs and needles and hate. But that's okay. In their affair of little talks, awkward silences, holding hands beneath tables and speaking with their eyes, they make beautiful silk webs of words, which hang from the ceilings, are strewn along the walls and cover them in their sleep. Words to lines to stanzas to poems to stories. Never had there been a more bitter-sweet relationship than that of two beautifully sad poems in love. Where he won’t say ‘I love you’, and she swears she understands, and he sits on the sidelines drinking, while she waits to be asked to dance.
