This is not Goodbye, it seems,
Our story has only just begun.

As we flicker through the pages,
I ask..
Will we make it past chapter 1?

Will will make it to the middle?
Will we make it to the end?

Will we make it to the sequel?
Perhaps a trilogy, we intend.

So as the storyline it changes,
I ask..

Will you be my main protagonist?..
Oh yes, Will you be only friend.

Will you be my favourite character?..
In a book that never ends..

I started out beautiful
Head high always wishful
Brave and strong through it all
Not falling down but always standing tall

No tears would I show
Cuz I forced that light in me to glow
To be a guide among those I knew
To help those find what's true

I started out beautiful
Smiling always joyful
You could not see my pain
There's a reason, I can explain

I wear this gorgeous mask
To hide the truth, to hide the facts
To keep you believing that I am strong
That I'm not a coward, that I belong

It hides my pains it hides my sorrows
It lets me wish for a better tomorrow
It covers the lies and the hurtful goodbyes
It sets me free....but only for a while

But piece by piece it falls to the ground
And you discover the real me inside and out
The mask fades away and you will find
That everything fits together, it's one of a kind

I break down
Tears stream out without making a sound
I fall apart
It hurts inside and kills my heart

I want to scream I want to die
Right here, this is where I lie
Saying its okay it's alright
You'll make it through you'll win this fight

I put the mask back on and pretend
Pretend that this isn't the end
And then reality strikes and I wake up
I'm back to the beginning and I want to give up

I close my eyes and drop to the ground
My chains are on and I am bound
And then I look up and I hear a voice
He says it's time to make a choice

He says I'm the light can't you see
Open your eyes child for I have the key
I can heal your pain I can heal your heart
I can set you free you won't fall apart

Take off the mask
I know the truth, I know the facts
You're not a coward you are strong
And my daughter you do belong

I'll take your pains I'll take your sorrows
I'm all you need for a better tomorrow
I forgive your lies and I'll never say goodbye
I'm with you forever

Step by step get off the ground
I'll transform you from the inside out
The real you comes alive and you will find
That my love I am one of a kind

I stand to my feet and wipe away my tears
I put down the mask cuz I know I have nothing to fear
I give you my heart I give you my life
I turn to you and I put down this knife

I made my choice your all I need this i know for sure
I am my own disease and you are my cure
I don't need to pretend I don't need to hide
I can do this cuz your always by my side

I started out beautiful
But now I see
That I'm still beautiful
Because you made me to be me

Through the tears and through the pain
I will hold my head high cuz you have wiped away the stain
I will smile I will laugh
Cuz I will walk your glorious path

The mask is gone and this is me
I will rejoice for what God has made me to be
I am his child for you are too
I'm beautiful me, so be beautiful you

There are few people I care about
more than I do myself
and your on your way to becoming one
so you better cry for help

you don't understand how long some people have been here
you don't understand the changes we've seen
you don't understand how much we've longed for the people to
be who they be
you don't understand how it breaks our hearts
to see such infighting
bought to our world from other pages
used to back biting
you don't understand, for us
that have believed from the start
that Hello Poetry was once a place
where we always laid our heart
we gave over our life to this place
we endured every change
when you see something different here
know we have suffered more than this strange
once upon a time
in an awesome time and place
when people googled
Poetry
they found this space
they found inspiration
they found laughter that never ends
they found confidantes and a place
to plant
a never ending garden of friends
So if you're from another site
drawn here by the skin of tooth
sit a while in our midnight garden
and I'll speak to you a truth

Hello Poetry has been my best friend
for over 5 years, and all the friends
I've found on here, they've danced beneath my laugh, and held onto me so tight
that if I ever fall so wrong, they'll make
it all right

And that's the saddest thing
about Hello Poetry today...
is that most don't try
to make true friends
really real friends
or interact with them
in any meaningful way

Death.
Rebelling against the reproduction of humans. Human achievements have slowly became nothing to me. Starting to look for different inspirations, want to be free from everything. My day is coming soon, that day...that day will start a new beginning for me. Everything I do now means nothing when that day comes, so then I ask myself what am I doing, where am I really going. I wake up and go through what we call life, hopping one day I grow up and begin to understand it.... Sadly I never got to
Death.

I pried myself open to allow you a peek inside, and like a child in a museum you couldn’t keep your hands to yourself, leaving your mark on every exposed piece of me. I didn’t care that you were leaving your ***** finger prints on my glass frames because at least you cared enough to look at them all. I never stopped to think how harmful this could be. That when the sun had set, and it was closing time, you would soon leave me vacant again though your imprints would remain. You left just enough of yourself behind to make me want you, but not enough to let me keep you.
