From birth
Born so **** insecure
Not ever believing if love is real
Disregard if we'll ever be sure
Cause' humans were born to feel
And in the shadows there's a place for us
Somewhere hidden they can't find our love
I was the trust and patience
You were the confident ways
And sometimes we're missing
Lost under the waves
I know it's alright, we've been under pressure
I believe, we'll make it through together

Your mother's love and fathers care
Never teach you that the real monsters
Aren't under your bed, they're lying in it
Next to you
Unspoken blood oaths
Secrets carved into each others skin
Both in pain, but one to blame
Scott free and carefree
I wonder why only one of us
Got stuck being the demon in the dark
But, even demons have truthful lights

Builders you all are
Architects and master craftsmen
Built in black and white
Given small amounts of colors to shine
Bridges built on words
Joining a community together from around the world
All in a common goal
Express thyself
Spill the thoughts of your soul
For the next to progress farther on
And so on and so
To you poets, I beg of you
Be raw, be vulnerable
It shall make this glorious golden gate
Unbreakable

I have seen, heard, and tasted
Many things in life
None of them quite compare to you

Any day now
I've been waiting
Been a long time coming baby
Come closer, please
We don't have to rush
Holding the pieces, let's build it up
Back to the endless summer
Remember the first time I saw you
Most beautiful creature, I've ever saw
I'm not quite sure what will happen
Both our lives hectic chasing passion
Just know that flame I've had for you
Is still ignited, and it's burning up

Your love like tendencies
Are no reassurance
For the damage is done
And when she learns
To never look bsck
You’ll truly know
Self hate

Scribbling’s of mad men
And lost lovers souls
This is a letter to you
So, deep inside
I know you’re there
I feel you everytime
I lose my mind
It just so happens that, that is every night

It's a drop dead lifestyle
Making a change here and there
Just too revert back to the same way
Lost in bad habits
For when love leaves you
The alcohol calls your name
And carefree feelings seem inviting
Can't fool yourself though
If there's one thing that you know
You're stuck in repetitions
Maybe it's just your nature
Regardless it's hard watching you do this to yourself

This eclipse is proof
That the light will shine
Beneath the blackened skies
So, pretty girl
Shine bright
For the dark is only here, but for a moment

Find myself writing the eulogy
For romance and chivalry
We live in a ****** hookup culture
Maybe I should embrace the torture
Cause' I can't seem to find my place
In a world that doesn't have love's taste

Thinkin' I might flip and fill my brain with lead
Wander through the dead
With you caught up in my head
You're a lot more pretty when you show your scars
A beauty that longs to be amongst the stars
Cause that piano sound
Brings some love that can't be found
And you know what I think about
Lyrical lies and beautiful eyes
Always fill me with doubt

To my mother
And
My long lost lovers
May these words
Give you a glimpse
Of the reality
That such is my world
And to the souls
Who will bare witness
Have hope
For love is real
I know it is
I've seen it
I just couldn't grab it.

Marked for death
Through all of our pain
These violent history games
Kindergarten crushes to blame
For all the glory and fame
I can't remember my name
Decadent stain
What might have been lost?

She asked “What of Courage?”
As if personifying it
Would deepen her own belief in it
As she knew we all feel so cowardly somedays
But, she was tired of feeling tired, even more so of feeling small, for her heart screamed of adventure, lost somewhere in the ocean of it all
She has a lot to learn though
Such as tomorrow when she wakes up
And makes her morning coffee
That walking out that door and living life
Well, that’s pretty courageous
For the world is really big and she might just be small after all

I'm struggling with mortality
Oh, Honey this world is mine
****, I just want to live forever
Feet don't fail me now, I just want to go
Sticks and stones, a couple broken bones
I've just been wanting to be scared
The beatings over now
Still I'll have my crown
Free to be free is pain
I'll incite the riot
I just don't know any better
I just want to ******* live forever

When desolation comes upon your heart
Find your solace in remembering me
As you have problems with commitment
I have issues with imprisonment
Parting tides as feelings die
And honestly love is overrated in your mind
Although, if it was up to me
I might just be yours for one more night

She has no idea, begging for help as I bleed her dry
She doesn't know the transfusion comes from my mind
Body and Soul giving her life, some trick for a trickster
Lately our communications been off
Both deemed unworthy in the eyes of lovers
The depths of hell calling our names
Let's breathe out and breathe in
Fill our forgotten lungs
With timeless seams of winter
You just couldn’t help drifting
Like the love the leaf craves the cracked cement
Asked me to let go, and my stress seem to let go
It’s a hard feeling knowing the truth will hurt and the regret will sting
So, we’ll just let it float

How curious
The mind tries to plan all outcomes we shall face in life so, zealously
Except our hearts beg to run into love on such random occurrence
If we should end in fire, then we shall both burn together
Hope for binding resolutions from shattered skies and scorched earth
Let the tides wash away the hallowed souls
And, let us drown in the unpredictable struggles
Of what we hope our love is to be

In the depths
Of the big beautiful sea
A creature does follow me
Beautiful terrors of the abyss
A love you'd surely miss
My demon in the dark
Forever bound to the blood I bleed
At the core still a love shark
As love isn't just black and white
For if we make it through the midnight hours tonight
We'll be alright
Don't forget the sailor born to a starry night
Only ever feeling safe in the salt water plights
Like two stars circling in desperate collision
There's a love tension
Between the sea of you and me
To the heavens here my pleas
Let the blue tides come and wash away apathy

It's hard forgetting you
When you don't see the wrong you do
Moving on seems impossible to do
When the person you want moves faster than you

And as we start to sway
Heartbreaks on its way
In times so dire
Why were we born to be such liars
For the oceans do get rough
And I’m not sure this ship will be enough
I’d rather drown or wrap a bag around my face
Seems like we’re born to annihilate
All of the love we seem to waste

Where do we go from here?
When it seems like we've lost one another
Let's step out in the dark
One foot in front of the other
Feel my bones getting older
Turning to dust and watching skyscrapers begin to rust
Let's just find a place and lose it for a day
Just lost looking for moments, wondering what we'll be
Sadly, the future is just something we can't see
Let's just hope that were finding hope
At the three a.m. callings
Lately, I've been constricted with despair
Wondering if you're still there
Just know I still care
If I asked you to stay
Would you still want to run away
Every other day?
Cause, I'd still choose you even when were far from home
And not sure where to go
Just know, that when you're ready, that I'm game to go with the flow

When you finally find something
Good in life
You eat it all up regardless of taste
Like you haven't ate for days

Sun flares in smiles
Cause' I was born with convictions
Torn between love addictions
There's no predictions in contradictions
White spots and star fades
And we're falling into misjudged trials
Worded blades and dulled kisses
So, tell me what you're thinking about
Cause' you'll have to tell me again
Who's got the self addressing issues
I'll admit I do, if only you do too
So, let me run away
I promise I'll hide away with you

I lost my soul
So ****** deep
Inside of you.

Mind over matter
She won't be told
Won't be thrown
Born a lion
So, reliant and defiant
Standing amongst the great giants
Asking let me be me
Let me speak, let me reach my peak
You're on fire
Green light, take flight
One life
Go faster

How interesting is it
That the older generations
Don't understand
Our newer styles of music
For we live in heartless times
And simple electronics
Make our bodies feel alive
Feel something
Showing us that we're human
What they truly don't see
Is how we're addicted
To the highs and lows
Attempting to open doors that are closed
Begging for bitter sweets
We're all to young to feel this numb
