There was once a girl who outshone the stars

the beauty within her was so great

eyes could go blind from the blaze.

So deep and profound

she changed the world with a few words

and radiated as brightly as the sun.

Then the fierce fire was extinguished

like a lightbulb going off.

She struggled to ignite her fire

and sparks flew

but no greatness begun.

She remembered the times

when she felt bigger than the universe

but mighty she felt no longer

she no longer outshone the stars.

They say I'm jealous
when in reality she's everything I would never want to be.
They say I'm worthless
when I'm an artist.

They don't want to think outside of the box
but I do
but they don't know that
but they will never know
that behind a mask of ordinary
there is an artist
that they underestimated
because they never got to know
because they never cared to know.

The stabbing pain on my beating *****
can only be called one thing.
Everyone goes through it at least once in their life
but nobody is really prepared for heartbreak.
When it comes
It feels like a truck hits you out of nowhere
and suddenly you're just fighting for air
frantic to breath normally again
but it will take time before you get there
after all this is all a lesson
a lesson to make you stronger.

Learn how to piece together those shattered walls
and learn how to fix yourself
when broken
it is the key to become powerful.

It is curious
that the most wonderful of all
last so little.

When the caterpillar blooms
and begins to revolutionize the world
casting small light to endless darkness
dark haze absorbs the glow into nothing
and the butterfly cycle comes to an end.

There is a small amount of spark
deep down in the nothing
that not even the rulers of this world expect
but with the courage of the soul
another butterfly will burst to life
and rattle the darkness.

There is something deep within us
threatening to burst free
only with the true choice
will it come to life.

that something only shows when one is truly alone
or when one finds a deeper connection with someone else
it feels like electricity
once the connection sets into place an electric shock can be felt
only then one knows when to show the colors inside
it may take time
but the best things always do.

that something deep inside
is so precious
it can only be shown to the best of people
it will come to live with the best people.

They say ignorance is bliss
ignorance is fake bliss
you do not see
you are blind to the horrors
so everything is one color
how can you expand your mind
when you can't see.
You're afraid to take the blind fold off
so you don't see the beauty of knowing
ignorance is fake bliss.

Stuck
like a bird on a cage
nowhere to go
nowhere to fly to
what is one to do on a situation like this?
where everything is constant
constant downs
no ups just downs
what is one to do
when all you can do is walk
and all you want to do is throw yourself up in the fresh air
and fly
obstacles will bring you down
but you will go up once again
much higher
and higher
and higher.

What if one knows what to do
but shackles hold you to the ground
strong, rusty shackles
what is one to do then?
what if they are shackles of one's making?
