Hades Bite
Ava Lennon Mar 2021
I love the voices
I love black and red
I hate the choices
That toss me till I'm dead
Fallen to the underworld
the one of my thoughts
What will unfold
I'm seeing spots
Hidden in the night
The sky that you look up to
Unreliable like the headless night
This headache is pounding
There's Hades bite
89 · May 2021
Lesser Daring
Ava Lennon May 2021
Listening to the wise
Yet taking all the chances
Hearing different lies
I say hello to everyone that passes

In Between Running
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
You need to read in between the lines
To really see me you have to do this
I would like you to know your heart shines
I want someone to talk to just like this
I'm different for many reasons
That may change throughout the seasons
You really need to look, you need to stay
If not, it will be unfortunate when you go away
I might not be what you're looking for
But you bring joy down to the core
It's true, yes it is
I mean at least someone really is
Because I've been running, running, running
Catch me if you can
But now if you think that was my plan
Perhaps it was cunning
And that is the reason I am still running
88 · Jan 2021
Beautiful Notice
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
You're beautiful, your beautiful
You're destined for so much more
Yes I can see it in your soul
A fire down to the core
Oh you will go so many places
But your home is in your heart
I know your name, and I know you don't know mine
We are all running out of time
But don't cross the line
We dance but some will fall
I see you every day from across the hall
Brother if only you truly knew me
Yes I think of you as a brother it's true you see
I pray neither of us will fall
You're beautiful yeah you're beautiful
88 · Jan 2021
I See You
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Don't let him blow your life away
Yes that is what I say
But when I saw him I hoped he would be mine anyways
Cuz when you near I feel like...
Yeah I feel like you keep me alive
We may not be at all alike
But you awakened something I thought was lost
The magic of love... But it could cost
It could cost my heart, time, and mind
But I'm still wishing to find
To find the line to find my heart
To find what's keeping us apart
I feel it, something very deep within
Something underneath the skin
Still learning more about you
Every day I see you more and more
Every day I see you, yeah I do
88 · Jan 2021
Can't
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
If you had looked me in the eyes
Would you see the pain deep inside
I feel as though I live my life on the other side
I mean it's hard when all people say is lies
Yet when I wake up it's me
And it all comes crashing down you see
Used to feel as though no one could set me free
….Saying...
I've been pleading to be free for so long!
And is that really so wrong
Being free isn't something you can cater
So I said catch you later
But then you were gone forever
Thinking I could never
I was falling, falling into that deep abyss
Thinking there was you, someone to miss
Never got something special like a kiss
Can't find reality when I'm falling
Can't find you when I'm failing
Can't find you when I'm floating
Away Away Away

The Things I Trust...
Ava Lennon May 2021
I sat there in the damp forest
Where you could hear the cry of the fallen angels,
the whisper of the dead
The charm of the devil turned the tables,
And the snarl of demon possession, their eyes bled
I've become heartless, don't care if you cry
Don't care if you die
Sometimes it's just better off dead
Living is overrated, under the weight of a thousand misled
Probably need a psychotherapist
I just wanna feel okay
It's getting longer all the bad things I did, longer list
It's scary when you hear voices night and day
Worse when their the only ones you trust
Specially when everything you touch turns to dust
Why do all the monsters come out at night
Every wall I knock down is a wall I replace
And behind every wall are ghosts leaving a deadly trace
87 · Jan 2021
Let It Burn
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Through every strike through every blow
You knock me down yet I always get up
Yeah I'll never ever give up
Satan you will not win
Though you put things in my path
I will not let them in
Even when you are screaming at me in wrath
You make me hurt, you make me angry
Sometimes I'm afraid I'll be here forever
This is really scary
Never dreamed this, never
So let it burn, let it burn
87 · Jan 2021
REWRITTEN
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Pay me to lower my voice
Even when I don't have a choice
I can feel the anger rising in my throat
Come on just leave me alone
I said I was not gonna fight you
I will not be ignored
This time Ima fight
This time I'm going to show you what's right
I can feel anger rising in my throat
I'm not gonna put on the coat
Look out I'm coming back ten times harder
You ruined my story I want to ruin yours, yeah it's rewrote
I'm gonna set you afloat
I'm gonna make you pay
Pay me to lower my voice?!?
But now I have a choice
Now I have a voice
It may be filled with anger and pain
But you drove me insane
I no longer have any chains

Making Me Hope
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
You're bringing me deeper
You are making me hope
Though the road is steeper
You are the one getting me up the *****
Through the lies, Through despise
Yeah you are making me hope
84 · Jan 2021
Truth Hurts
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I don't know what to do but I'm afraid it's true
You made me hurt you made me cry
I feel sad through and through
I know I'm not beautiful but I could try
I could try and change that
How I think about myself won't change things
I need to cutback and that's that
But what to do with my feelings...
I do not know
The truth hurts but who oh who
Who's right and who's wrong
Can't trust myself yeah I know that's true
84 · May 2021

Ava Lennon May 2021
Mom, Dad where you at?
I feel like I'm nothing, yeah I feel like I'm nothing
I'm fading to black
Everybody is staring
I wonder what I lack
Yeah you know I know
I ain't ready for this show
83 · Jan 2021
Adoration
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
A new chapter of love is what I need
Before I see you I adore you yeah I adore you
I hope your what I need
I'm afraid of what my heart will do
I wanna believe I'm somebody new
And try this a different way
And if I don't I know the price I'll pay
Yeah I am very broken
But before I see you I adore you, yeah I adore you
With you I feel as though I'm in heaven
Our hearts make us do crazy things
We all have good or bad endings
I need to be free from my past
Because I'm fading fast
I see your face every day
And yet I'm too afraid to say
That before I see you...
Before I see you I adore you yeah I adore you
82 · Jan 2021
Freely Caged
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Yeah it was just like living on a blank page
Just like being stuck in a dark cage
And when all you feel is rage
I just imagine singing up on that stage
Singing to you with my entire heart
My way of saying I never wanna be apart
I'm no longer a spirit, not a spirit of fear
But of power, love, not shedding a single tear
This is me, throughout life, every single year
Thinking of the blank page, dark cage, and the feel of rage
Back to the feeling I don't have, the one I crave
The love I have for you is crashing inside of me like a wave
But you don't see the love I have for you, I pretend to be brave
And on the inside I'm starting to cave
But with you I feel as though I can be saved
And yet I still feel caged
I'm teaching myself not to be dismayed
82 · Jan 2021
Ghost
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Feels like death
Feels like unrest
Feels great
Truly designed to live in the dark
To what dark adventure's shall I embark
Don't know my mental state
Might be too late
But whatever
I'll be fine whenever
82 · Jan 2021
Missing You
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Oh seeing all of your faces
I'm missing your warm embraces
Still trying to fill all of the empty spaces
Seeing the moon shining bright
Yeah we will win this long fight
We still have time to make things right
Boy you're surely my friend
My feelings have changes, if I tell, will it work in the end
Staring at ,y phone wondering what message to send...
Back to school and I'm wondering what's around the bend
Running downstairs to see you
But turning back remembering he doesn't know
Should I be true
I'm still contemplating though
Do I want him to know
81 · Mar 2021
_-_-_-_
Ava Lennon Mar 2021
If I were to be something to someone...
What would I be?
If I were to be loved by someone...
What would they love about me?
And if I could feel emotion without being undone...
80 · Jan 2021
Trying to Land
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Outcast soul
I lost control
And I don't understand
Why every time I'm pushed
I don't land
I keep falling
And I find myself calling
For someone to come save me
When I want to save myself you see
I fell into a trap
And now I will never get out
I'm hidden just about
When I now try to shout
Nothing comes out
I'm falling and calling
I'm afraid of what people will say
I know I can get through this day
Initiation is gonna hurt
But I will find a way to escape
Without getting those I love hurt
I need to land
And if I keep falling
It's the end of the line for me... But at least I was trying
80 · Jan 2021
Different
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Just let me be me
Can't you just let this girl be
Thanks to those who don't care
About how different I am
You can hate me
You can give me an evil stare
A shout out to Vic
First impressions stick
I run run run
Sorta having fun
Thanks Vic!
78 · Jan 2021
Let Me Be There
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Watching a fallen star
As I drive by in my car
I can see his pain from afar
But he won't let me help him
Though his agony is filled to the brim
Just let me be there for you
Yeah that is what I shout
He doesn't have much only a few
It's like all the love has run out
Every time I try to help him, he runs as if on cue
He wants to be better
So I sent him a letter
Waiting for him to get back
I'm so scared I feel like Ima have a heart attack
Guess we both need to get back on track
77 · Jan 2021
Disarray
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I feel like less than I was meant to be
Some say there isn't a soul inside of me
But I still like him you see
I had set my hopes far too high
Leaving me in a sad sigh
Perhaps thinking I was good enough was just a lie
Even when I try
My mind was playing mean trick on me
And now my heart hurts you see
I feel as though I've gone astray
I feel like everything's in a disarray
Don't wanna hang on to what could or may
Running through forest and snow
What's next... Guess I don't know
I know I have a soul
I can feel pain's toll
I don't mean for my emotion to cause trouble
…That doesn't make sense
You see what I mean
You don't know what's happened pretense
While I'm awaiting her to be seen
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I know I'm running out of time
Yeah I believe in the craziest things
You say I'll never endure of what this world brings
But I still have some time...
I know I will find my wings
Though uncertainty and doubt cloud my sight
I still seek out the happiness, the light
Hola, me llamo Ava... Si
Yeah that's me...
I know love and hope can truly be
Puedo ser valiente
Yes I am even when hate and hurt is all you say
Bravery, hope, and love is what I pray
Dios cree que todos somos guapos
Beauty, love, bravery, hope, yes all of those!
Yes this is what I have chose
Podemos encontrar lo que buscamos
Yeah it may be far it may be close
Termino con Dios entrando en mi corazon
76 · Jan 2021
Good or Evil
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Pain hates but it also strengthens
It's hard to leave my past at the door
Looking at the waves beyond the shores
Thinking of odd horrors
Good or Bad, Heroism or Evil
I hate that I am feeble
Fear can haunt you and pain can follow you
But pain can strengthen and fear can drive you
76 · Jan 2021
Didn't Care
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
You were looking like an angel
But you really didn't care
I let my heart go, I wasn't careful
Now all I can give you is a cold stare
It is so hard because I have to pretend I don't care
Because I know you don't
I feel like this isn't fair
Yet I can't make you have feelings that won't be
I dream and dream and dream
of falling in love like a fairytale
But I know fairytales are for books
And that dreaming is for sleeping
Still every time I see you boy I feel like I'm dreaming
I can't say it's me not you
Because it is you
What hurts the most is I spent so much time on you
When you didn't care
And now I have to be true
True to myself and to you
I really liked you, and you didn't care
76 · Jan 2021
Will Anyone Care
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I don't know what to put on this paper
Perhaps I should really start later
For a person who may or may not care
I mean will my poem of my emotion go anywhere?
What if they read them and just have a blank stare
Poems awaken something inside of me
Something not even I can see
Forever I will write, we are one never separately
With my pen I write what's on my heart and mind
Maybe my poems will help someone find
To find what they are looking for
Maybe they are looking for something more
And if not I hope they find it
And if my poems are a bore... Well
They were all just my feeling I needed to tell
I don't want money, no need to sell
But if I could affect someone
A person, even just one
Yeah it would be enough for me
Knowing that I had helped...
Finding that love is true
Finding that you are loved through and through
But will my writing go anywhere?
What will I be able to share?
Will anybody even care?
75 · Jan 2021
Could Be Better
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
You say no I say yes
Should I do it should I not
My feelings are a big mess
It could be better why not
You say he's mean, I say he's misunderstood
He sits by himself, his hood up
But what goes on under the hood
We should all just be friends and not be stuck up
75 · Jan 2021
Jealous... But Alive
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I don't wanna be jealous no I don't
But every time boy I see you with her....
I need to push this feeling down, but I won't
Though you don't know, I feel like she's in the way
I imagine her stopping you, telling you to stay
Why does everything that kills me keep me alive?
Jealousy hurts the soul
It hurts like sharp knives
I don't know many who survive
Her words are like honey to you
But I see her trap that will bury you alive
This hurts my heart and my mind
Yet I keep quiet in hope that you will find...
Why does everything that kills me keep me alive?
Why do I keep coming back to this like I'm blind?
I need to let this all go so I can strive
Because I have to survive
71 · Jan 2021
No Need to Fill My Heart
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
The wind blowing in my face
Show no fear
Show no trace
Don't shed a single tear
Invisibility is a survival skill
Though my heart can be empty
There's no need to fill
Sometimes the hurt weighs heavy
But I always get through it
My heart could take a hit
No need to fill my heart
Never be apart
Sometimes it would be nice
To feel what it's like
But I will suffice
71 · Jan 2021
Show Me Love
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Love is patient Love is kind
It's hard when we are both stuck in our own minds
Even when I'm terribly imperfect
I wish you knew I was unrefined
Oh I fail to show, but I hope you know
I only want to love you, I do not mean to be oh so cold
My words may cut you to your bone
My hurting heart longs for you alone
I wish for love, I wish for life, I wish for time
Because I need to shine out of who I am
I want to love you... But then
I cannot seem to find the line
I lay myself aside cuz you still love her, I know
And of course I fail to show
I just want to love you
I don't know if I can make it on my own
Because my mind denies the love I know
But I cannot deny the love I have for you
I can't give enough of my, I wish you'd want it...
Cuz if you did I'd give it all
Yeah I'd give it all
71 · Jan 2021

Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Still trying to figure out my motives
I'm finally free
Yet I feel like everything's happening so fast
I feel amazingly overwhelmed
Not wanting to be last
Dauntless? Maybe I should rebel
Just to have fun, no need to tell
Yeah still tryna figure out my motives
Wandering around downtown
Feeling like I'm on top of the world
Like nothing can bring me down
But all the sounds
I still don't have that crown
Look out cuz my world has just been wonderfully turned

Life
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Looking off into the distance
Wishing I had a pathway I could run away on
These things don't happen by chance
Things are meant for a reason
Maybe to teach me something
To go over my feeling
I hang on to everything
I hang on to every moment
Good and bad
I don't mean to be sad
I don't mean to be mad
But I am happy
Even with a life on the run
Even with a life filled with hurt, and that isn't always fun
God helps me see the light, the sun
My family is all around the world
Mom says she believes in me
Dad says God's working on a masterpiece
Ian says I would never make it you see
Sara cared about me
Logan was always there for me
My friends had been those I could fall back on
I love you all
Even those of you have only ever hurt me
You had a reason to act the way you did
I hope you will find your purpose like I did
67 · Jan 2021
Sailed and Sinking
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
This ship is sinking
The planks are nailed together with my sorrow
Looking to the water by the railing
Imagining what life will be like tomorrow
Here we go again... Story of my life
Embroidered like initials on a knife
The memories ingrained in my brain
Taunting, always there like a stain
Because I feel you even in the rain
You stick to my heart like tree sap
Yeah I sailed right into your deadly trap
I keep telling myself it will be over, just a mishap
I feel as though I might just scream
I was hoping it was all a dream
Even when things aren't all what they seem
And your unbelief in me
You left me thinking what could be
And now I think I am starting to see
That perhaps it was never meant to be
66 · Jan 2021
Voices and Choices
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Don't really know what to do
Death has died
Yet I can't control it we need to hide
You don't know and I can't tell you
Can't bring myself to tell you
Even when you're the one I want to talk to
The pain is searing inside of me
But I will never let you see
Hard to like my roots, yet you are my family
Disappearing into the distance
How you taught me fear for instance
So many things I can't control...
So many voices so many choices
Even a place in my mind with no kindness
Will I ever find my happiness
The pain of emotion is torture
When will we change our culture
Where is love to heal my broken soul
Where is love to get me through life's cold games
The shadows are covering the sun's rays
Life can look so bleak
You don't know and I can't tell you
But I think I know what to do
64 · Jan 2021
PERFECT πŸ˜‘
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I'm tired of chasing perfection
Been going down that road for too long
Looking into the mirror's reflection
Yeah it's time to sing my own song
The old tune can **** the like out of you
If you don't heed my warning it may be you
Wisely choose the road you go down
Choose right and you will find true beauty
Choose wrong and you will lose your crown
Beauty can be seen unless it's blind perception
Ignore the nasty comments said by another
But just like the fairytale the words repeat over and over
"Mirror Mirror on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"
But she just stared at me, I was her
Silence... I guess that's where I fall
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Shards of broken glass
Staring out the window in the middle of class
Writing like I'm running out of time
Quick but silent as a mime
Tick tick tick goes the clock
I hear them at the door, knock, knock, knock
63 · Jan 2021
Something
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
The light is trying
The fighters are fighting
The liars are lying
The believers are believing
Even when you can't be seen
And your behind an invisible screen
And all there is, is malice
Because when you shoot that arrow it will miss
It will miss me and hit your blank canvas
Your own heart
An unknown chart
One dark piece of art
For all we knew
That one day it would come back and hit you
Your mask is crumbling
And we are done being
We are done being nothing
We are done not trusting
Yes! We are not running
No... Not anymoe
For it was a chore
That had rattled us all the way down to the core
So goodbye forevermore
62 · Jan 2021
Wonder Night and Day
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Every night and every day
What's there... Can I find the unknown?
Or should I just stay?
Every night as I'm lying in bed...
What adventure could I be on instead?
An honor to have my heart broken by you...
While I'm wondering what it's like to be loved by you
If you really knew, if you really know
Every night and every day
I try to put my feelings at bay
I'm still figuring out what to say
I'm still trying... Trying to see it your way
This may not be easy or fun
But I can get this done
Every night and every day
I'm wondering what it's like to be loved by you
Yeah you're in my dreams... Yeah you're what I think
What does this really mean... Will I swim or sink?
62 · Jan 2021
Pain's Mock
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Pain can be normal
But it still comes in shock
I have memorized its call
I can hear its hurtful mock
You can take place in someone's heart
Never really knew you, an unknown chart
You really tore me apart
You taught me to fear
You taught me to hate the girl in the mirror
You drove me to the cliff
You made me want to die
Yeah pain comes in shock
I can still hear its hurtful mock
But I picked myself up
No I don't wanna die anymore
Memories don't leave, they'll stay forevermore
May be better but I still hate the girl in the mirror
I am still afraid
You knew fear was control
I am still afraid
You knew it would hurt my soul
I am still afraid
Wish you had God but there's no loophole
I am still afraid
Your back and fear is taking its toll
I am still afraid
60 · Jan 2021
No Windows... No Doors
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
My heart can be a haunted house
No windows or doors
If you get in you will be lost in a tunnel like a mouse
Hearts as black as feathers on crows
Yeah, get my inspiration from the morgue
The pain of loneliness comes in large blows
Yet it is killing me softly
I don't mean to push you away
But in the end you didn't care anyways
My heart can be a haunted house
No windows
No doors
Once you're in you are trapped
But so am I...
Your done... Your future's mapped
You hurt me, I may or may not finish you
I may be harsh, very true
But you shaped it, you mad you lose
Yeah I'm the Queen of a broken heart
I'll love you if you find all the pieces
No windows, No doors, No windows, No doors
59 · Jan 2021
Pain?
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
And we meet again
The one who had broken my heart
My hurt was a ten
The day we had split apart
The memories fresh
I let myself be persuaded
My beautiful friend
But then that friendship had faded
Wishing pain to end
Wondering what is around the bend
Becoming a Queen?
No... We aren't out here playing chess
Oh who will be seen
Please don't have any carelessness
The feeling of alone
Though I'm not alone at all
Sitting with my phone
Talking to those who really care
Though life isn't fair
I hope you find what you're looking for
58 · Jan 2021
Wish For Home
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
I see them dancing on the clouds
One day that will be us, yeah it will
But for now were stuck in the crowds
Because it is raining still
Faith... Hope... Morality
It may even take us an eternity
But we will make it, yes we can
We need to come up with the perfect plan
I don't wanna be stuck in the dark anymore
I wanna stand in the sun forevermore
Take us away, Take us away, Take us away
We don't belong here, no we can't stay
Surrounding us, our walls we build up turn to decay
I'm tired of throwing penny's in a wishing well
Take us home, Take us home
Because when you come only some will tell
Take us home, Take us home
54 · Jan 2021
Time
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
How does a moment last forever
How does a story live on
Memories may last forever
But we need to pass them on
Can't express how much I love you
Together were as beautiful as trees in the fall
I'll never forget the time spent with you
I will hang on to it with my all
Dear friends I miss you
You move away and leave me here
Just thinking about you makes me shed tears
46 · Dec 2020
What If?
Ava Lennon Dec 2020
We started out as friends you see
But then I felt something change inside of me
I could only wonder, what it could be
All the time we spent together
As though it would last forever
We can take on whatever the world throws
We can do it together, through it's evil blows
I would love to tell you
But what if I get rejected
What if we are no longer connected
What if I am no longer respected
Oh my dear friend
I would not want this to end
So I have to say goodbye to my dreams
And we will just be friends it seems
45 · Jan 2021
The Mask
Ava Lennon Jan 2021
Keep my hurt and pain behind a mask
Yeah hiding it can be a task
Only you can really see me
And then there are those hunting me
Which is why I have to leave
I mean 10 years down where will I be
Maybe somewhere in a daze
Maybe hurting like a million blades
Saying what are you missing
I guess it a reminder for me
The voices are talking and I'm listening
Guess I don't care what happens to me
Only the people I care about you see
All our stories down like a book
When all you have to do is look
The ball and chain I'm good being locked to you
Who's really the Queen of broken hearts, yeah who
Maybe me yeah that could be true
Who's gonna let this prisoner out of her cage
Yeah I may not be a sage
But some of the voices are filled with rage
It hurts my ears are ringing
The mask covers my heart the voices are talking and I'm listening

— The End —
