Too young to know too young to grow
I was just a child when you had to go
Yet I still remember the smell of the smoke
It’s burned into my memory, I would know

The love we received from you was nothing short of true
I’ve had a feeling that maybe you’re in the room
Watching me, protecting me, healing me
You’re not truly gone, always where we’ll be

Sparking ocean hues were always with the blues
Even with the sun’s radiant heat,
The sea, too, felt defeat

Beauty also comes with rain
It’d be ignorant to assume there’s no pain
Water rushes then leaves
But the sea is always complete

A beautiful, poised predator stalks
Composed with a mask of elegance
Secretly, it wants to mock

It waits waits waits for a helpless victim
It finally attacks, the mask momentarily gone
If only the others could see this rabid dog

But, no, the mask returns
The world resumes
And nobody has any concerns

Stay away from the beast
He’s a thorn to the crease
The beat of my heart relies
On this small man to decide
If whether I live or die

The scar on your right
Reminds you of the night
The night everything left
And took what she said

Monsters graze this cruel earth
And he has to avoid for her
Keeping a promise is crucial
Honor it for her approval

Giving up seems the way out
But would she want to see this now
She’d want you to push on
And keep your brother along

The memory of her is in the stars
Staying within her father’s heart
He sees her soul in his world
Laughter fills his sweet girls

It’s not my fault or hers
It’s the man's fault for being a perv
But no, let's blame the woman
For just existing and turning

Memories chase me through the shadows of the halls
Can I speed up? No, I’ll eventually fall
Maybe I should just give in to the thoughts
I think I’m falling apart
Slowly but quickly
Limb by limb

My smile has left and changed to sin
The inner workings of my heart have been slowed down
Not on purpose, but only by the sound
The sound of rejection
The sound of no affection
Nothing can save me from my self sabotage

And yet again I was a lone tree
standing with all the other’s eyes on me
When will the day be when somebody finally follows
Maybe it’ll be tomorrow

Summer left then Fall came
The other’s leaves fell from their frames
But I who rendered lonely,
My leaves stayed loyal

Fall left then Winter came
All I could feel was the coldness of Maine
Snow fell on those without amnesty
But I stayed composed with beauty

Winter left then Spring came
Flowers surround my way
While the others are growing back their jewelry,
I stay the same already filled with perspicuity

A full loop and no one ever followed
Not even with the promise of tomorrow
But the feeling of loneliness never bothered me
For I remain beautiful, while the others decay periodically

Just a piece of tainted meat
No mouth to speak
No mind to think
Just a solid piece of meat
No eyes to see
No more distracting
I’m just a piece of meat
Here for you to only eat

Strong footsteps echo throughout the cold halls of my empty home
These footsteps carry malice and ignorance
Emotions only a monster could hold in his tone
I’m petrified of this rich beast
But I can only sit by his side and smile
Once I sit, I feel defeat
My inner morals are crushed
They’re squashed until they can’t be heard anymore
Nothing can be said to heal what was torn

I need to flee this land
I’m pulled down by what I can’t
Something greater’s meant for me
My future is full of curiosity

There’s something dragging me down
Can my success really be found?
I will leave this boring place
And I will find my future in another space

Don’t even save your own daughter
Lead her to the pen to be slaughtered
You say that this is too graphic
But this is what happens to women

Act like you know every problem
But you don’t know how to father
Allowing her to be traumatized
While you, the man, stays uncompromised

Walking down the alley,
Sun on my face
Everything's right
It's one of those days

I reach for the sun,
All I got was rays
It's always half of something,
I'm never fully paid

Is there anything wrong with hoping
Hoping for a better life
One where I'm comfortable
Where I can close my eyes

two worlds apart and I still stay
remaining at that gloomy land
just hoping and hoping for another day
this was never a part of the plan

my mind will forever be at the grave
lingering, haunting, and remembering what you said
all I can do is just worship and pray
all I can hope is that what is gone is never truly dead

These beauties shine and stand alone
For they are our one true home
Blue skies and shimmery waters
This earth is home to the wanderers

All wondering where they will be taken
On their path of life but don’t be mistaken
Things will come and go like weather
But nature will stay here forever
