I once knew a kid
who smiles at little things,
who cries for stolen candies.

I once knew a kid
who cheers for fallen flowers
who jumps for random kindness of strangers.

I once knew a kid
who fights for everyone's right
who stands for people's freedom.

I once knew a kid
who would make others feel happy
who would comfort their solitude before herself.

I once knew a kid
who is afraid to die
who doesn't want to permanently close her eye.

Now, I know this kid
who screams for God's name
begging to keep her away from her mind
and to stop the burning flame.

Beautiful people and beautiful souls
living in a world
Full of hatred and evil
Evil people and evil souls
Hell bent on doing wrong
Full of wicked intent
They hurt others
To block the pain
Without a care in the world
Little boys and girls
Frolic and play all day
Dreaming of one day
Growing up and becoming adults
Little do they know
Being an adult isn't a luxury
They lie and cheat and steal
Only to become old, alone, and destitute
Longing for the thing they can't obtain
Intangible and unachieveable
In the eyes of many these
Are the walking dead
The soulless entities
That walk the earth feeding
On the sadness and pain of others
Broken and unfixable
My only wish
Is that I never
Become one of them.

There’s a flame

Lit with in

A flame that burns for one purpose

There’s a life

Two souls meant to be one,

But Split in two

There’s so much pain

Heart ache, for the souls that are lost

A pain meant to keep the souls apart

There is an emotion

Love

an emotion that is meant to be pure, but instead is manipulative and deceiving

Only because many souls have given up on meeting

So they began hurting and mistreating

Those who are naïve

Until it becomes a cycle of misleading

But there are those who keep on fighting

For that one who is meant to complete them

The one is meant to love them like they need them to

And at first it might seem strange

Because we don’t understand how someone

Could know what truly love is

That love is supposed to

Burn like the flame

Hurt like the pain

That you’re supposed to feel that way

Because that’s what love is meant to do

This emotion connect so many things

Not just lovers, but also friends

if you opened you heart and not your mind

You’ll find that love is very simple it’s not a technical complication or logically correct

It’s supposed to come with scars and bumps

But only because you’ll never know what’s good until you’ve dealt with bad

Love is not just a breeze

it’s a hurricane of emotions

But after its all say and done

You’ll find yourself in a place you’ve never been . . . next to the one
