I cried out, when they ***** the young girl, and no one believed. I cried out, when they stole from the old man, and no one believed. I cried out, when they shoved salt in the young boy's wound, and no one believed. I cried out, when they crushed the old lady's hope, and no one believed. I cried out, when those we trusted became monsters, and no one believed. I will cry again, will you believe?

I am the boy who cried wolf~
There’s something about the way he doesn’t chase… It’s not the swagger. Not the smirk. Not the way his shirt clings when he works. It’s how he doesn’t beg the light he walks in shadow, and still feels right. He doesn’t claim me. He just looks and in that look, he rewrites books. The kind with knights and velvet beds, with whispered vows and tangled threads. He moves like time forgot to rush. His silence holds a speaking hush. He doesn’t grab he lets me choose, And yet I burn if I refuse. His hands could bruise, but never try. They trace my skin like lullaby. He guards, not cages. Leads, not binds And in his arms, the world unwinds. He calls me wild. He keeps me free. He doesn’t need to conquer me. And still, I’d kneel, I’d bend, I’d melt, For how his quiet power’s felt. There’s chivalry in how he waits, In how he touches no locked gates. And when he moves, it’s not to own, But to remind me, I’m not alone. So here’s to him: the kind of man Who doesn’t boast, but simply can. Who wins no throne, but takes command Just by the way he dares to stand.

[ The Way He Stands ]
i am the strength, the saftey, the fear. i stay close, always near. the one they call when things go wrong the silence hurts, their screams a song. the body aches, battered bruised couldve been simple, had he refused you all those nights ago. but he didnt know. i keep them alive. let the body thrive.

My Inner Critic I've misunderstood you far too long I used to think you ginormous But I see you're actually small. You're not a beast I need to hide from But a child I must protect Your poisonous tongue was cursed to you From years of abuse and neglect. When you're scared, you can be scary To get attention, you yell mean things You bring something up over and over again When you know that I'm not listening. When I look, you're stuck and screaming Like you felt and could never express You see danger and no one will listen I shut you down like all of the rest. Sweet one, I'm sorry I ran from you I misjudged your might and will Now I've grown and understand better No one ever taught you the skills. Instead you learned to fear your big feelings Because they made you bad and unloveable But your feelings are valid and helpful to hold You're on fire, but you're not combustible. The rage that electrifies your skin Makes sense and will not destroy you We can redirect, run through it's end Then, together, decide what to do. You screamed that you wanted to die But we dyed our hair instead You wanted to take your own life So we've taken it into our own hands. Big feelings will always wash over us I know sometimes that feels like too much But now I'll listen and we can make choices That won't harm either of us.

I See You
Whoever thought we’d say goodbye so early To a woman that meant so much to so many You’ve left behind hidden gems in us all Especially the one that no matter what, we better stand strong and tall But even in this unfortunate absence She still instills The ability to survive in the world Some of us even picked up that amazing cooking gift you have The ability to love tough when needed And the high pedestal on how we should be treated On how to be frugal and 100% independent From start to finish, she was committed This was a major loss for us ShotGun But the many gems you instilled will forever stand The most beautiful of them all, you’re now in the right hands amongst them all. We Love You

She Instills
In times of darkness, fear and strife, Our guardian angel brings us light, A flame eternal, burning bright, Guiding us through day and night. With wings of love and watchful eyes, Our protector from the skies, Forever by our side it stays, In its care, we find our ways. No storm can quench this sacred fire, No force can dim its heavenly ire, For in our hearts it will reside, Our guardian angel, by our side.

I know your dreams for I am part of them I walk between the folds of consciousness you cannot see me but you have come to know when I am near from the moment you blinked in awe upon your first vision of life each day my timeless purpose your protector the intricate weaving of hours days and years those you have known and those you shall come to know the map of your life is written and cannot be altered when the day arrives you will sense it not in a flash but rather a quiet whisper I will be wishing you well from this life to the next

The night provides catharsis, To those who do not listen. Daylight shows the truth - That I never want to see. You are my antithesis , Like a carpet of falling leaves. You hide from me your secrets, That would break me, had I known, Yet the owls cry the night for me, For secrets I do not own. My dear protector,        - my confident,        - my bearer of wind Do not banish me forever, Across the river Styx, please, Instead, lay down with me in silence, On our carpet of fallen leaves.

My Confidante
Independent A bit headstrong, Her kindness, Transcendent Her accent shapes her character. She doubts her abilities When she is among the strongest The hurt of her people Is all she sees She’s learning to look in the mirror Not to see the imperfections But all the possibilities She rarely forgets Although she hides behind a silhouette A fierce protector Without discrimination They can’t all defend themselves So she steps in She will give her life for her country And for it They love her. I hope she sees the change she creates A magnificent ruler. Each step in her red spiked boots Paving a new path For those forgotten or lost Walking with her, Their roots She takes their hand And leads them on No persecution Only solutions. A tireless advocate for those without. No need to ask She understands her task ……………………………. Could you use some help? No need to ask Just open your eyes And seek her out She’ll find you Eventually She sees through it The lies. I hope one day this queen Will find a proper king For now she rules independently Fighting Endlessly.

I Am
While I sit in my room, You are down the stairs. Father is yelling and blaming you. You don't know how to feel. Your voice is trembling. I know you're about to cry. I want to shout And shove him away. But it wouldn't change a thing. After your "talk" to You stumble up the stairs. You'll go to bed and Cry quite hard, Missing your sweet mother. I was there, open armed To give a goodnight hug. I whisper that I love you. And I hear your honest reply. I'll always love my brother. I'll keep him within sight. -3nwlry

Red
It starts with his beautiful bright blue eye, So steady and sure as the wings flutter and sigh. They keep watch of the life below, The nectar and the flowers that grow A forest of colours, red to indigo. Now, when the eyes shutter and blink, The flowers look up and they think, 'Here is our dazzling friend, Come here to dance and defend, And to our gardens tend'. Here, it whispers to a mother and child Remembering all the times that they smiled To each other and held hands To help the child thrive and withstand The winter's harshest command. The mother waves and the child shakes In excitement and down fall the flakes Of yellow but quickly goes the protector Gathering the pieces and the nectar And hurrying back to inspect her. Often people suspect that this pest Eats the flowers and destroys their nest But little do they know of why The mother flower strokes the pest's eye. You see butterflies don't just flutter by. They have a duty and a burden To protect the flowers of their garden And see that everything is safe and sound Down there on the ground.

butterflies only flutter by
The sand is coarse among the waves, The foamy froth curls, rants and raves, The grainy ground is wet and packed, And seaweed from the ground is hacked. Plucked from stormy shallows dark - bold fish swims among the shark. Twisting in the deeper pools, Threads of green unfurl in spools. Monster beyond comprehension, Slim limbs hanging in suspension. Serpent lurks in Blue Lagoon, Carved in its scales a single rune. Magicks infuse currents strong - powers deep and tendrils long. The shrouded spirit, great insurgent, Mairocant, the last sea serpent.

Man
When I was down, You lifted me up. When I errored , You forgave. When I was sick, You received me in your arms. When I was lonely, You reminded me, "I am always with you." When my broken heart despaired, You healed me with your Love. When I did all that I could and wanted to quit, You carried me. Lifting me securely into your arms. When I learned to see you I found you in everyone's eyes. Divine Love, I love you. Within my heart of hearts,   As one Love,  never ever will we part. Oh my beautiful Divine Love Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Divine Love
24-72: Your internal organs decomposed 3-5: your very body started to bloat and blood containing foam leaked from your mouth and nose 8-10: you turned into your least favourite colour-red. See, I'm trynna understand how I feel about you I've learnt to love you the same way I've learnt to embrace my dark days. It's fine until someone asks, 'Where is your dad?' I smile and tell them you're late You should see how their eyes lit up when I tell them,' it's fine, that it's okay' They look dissatisfied Like I'm supposed to cry talking about you Like the loneliness In me should scream for comfort Like the pride in me should shrink into nothingness Like this heart should only beat for you Like these hands should remind me that you once lived- existed, laughed and loved Like I'm not complete without you Like I cannot be the spitting image of you without trying to manifest my individuality Like I'm supposed to shiver to the very thought of our memories. Am I supposed to feel something? Ain't I complete? Ain't I a heroine? Tell them Didn't I carry my cross? Took all stones thrown at me and never asked for help? Didn't I blossom into spring after you withered like leaves into autumn? Didn't I carry my head up- shining into sunset? You tell them! Tell them not to feel sorry for me! See, this life is crazy, love is fragile and good days don't last. So, it's okay... It's more soothing knowing you're up there than down here... So I figure, if my mother, the love of your life survived your fall, then maybe I, will survive the presence of your absence I figure, loving you will not heal me but it will hold my heart the day I find the courage to heal myself They say they're sorry for my loss Loss? No I never lost you, you're not dead to me, All we ever needed was time That's all we lost... So,Rest in me
