The steps never seem to end
What I see is always there
I can’t quite seem to get it
It doesn’t like to play fair

The usual place for originality
A willing mind and brown walls
You can become a slave to it
A revelation that always calls

It’s been so long
But you began yesterday
Never again
Always the same
You hear the song for you
It’s the only way

She isn’t what you thought
You can’t right your wrongs
It never gets you quite there
Different faces but who belongs

How many faces do you see
As many as see you
Who should look first
The brave ones are few

It’s been so long
But you began yesterday
Never again
Always the same
You hear the song for you
It’s the only way

I didn't write enough, I think that's good, yet awful.

Everyone needs to wake up
We just need to realize
That tragedy and terror
Is taking place right before our eyes
Nothing but sad and dark moments
Many are in a state of disbelief
Many people have lost their lives
Painful hearts continue to grieve

i tried to write a poem
i've been trying for a while
to write the ways in which you always
seem to make me smile

i've tried to tell our stories
through the medium of rhyme
but every time i start to type
the words fall out of time

it's always been so simple
i can write when i feel wrong
but it all seems so unnatural
now i feel like i belong

i don't think i can do it
'cause i don't know where to start
so if i see you in my poems
it will mean you broke my heart.

I'm sorry I couldn't save you
I swear to you I tried.
I had no clue you were so broken
I wish you hadn't lied.
I knew one day you'd leave me
For the depression you couldn't hide.
You told me you had a solution
I just never thought it suicide.
