Where your soul is dismissed
You rely on the truth for finding a reason
To exist, love, hate, and perish

Bones to ashes we become
magnify on the time of losts and gain
How can we live when we're all struggling to breathe?

Truths become lies
Beauty becomes a phase
An illusion to find a reason to smile
And ask ourselves what made us happy while we lived

My understanding of how such a ****** up illusion can be so ugly that it becomes beautiful to indulge in the act of of finding who you are

What's a day when it's always night?
Ask yourself away

By: Leory Santana Dawn

At night when the moon's shimmering glow
takes the cold and fear of darkness away
when fireflies silently  guide the way for the losts
when mothers softly dandle their babies to sleep
then let yourself float
wrapped into a warm and sheltering bubble
into a world of impossible possibilties
yet tomorrow to conquer reality again
full of hope.

My masquera drips
Onto sticky lips
Colored black and red
They mix with tears of death
And losts breaths
They ran
All my make up
And messy break ups
I can't stand
I'm a broken man
My lipsticks
Hold my head
All my makeup smears
With a womans tears
My face is mirrored
What do I look like now
An unpainted growl
I'm a dog
Beat down
All of my make up
Tears of a clown

apps and adds, digits and notes,
pixels and bites, tweets and blurbs,
pics and clicks, hits and views,
looks and stares, steps and moves,
loves and losts, drops and tears,
lives and smiles, hopes and fears

Thoughts run wild, and words begin to flow,

The more I think, the more it starts to show..

Emotions cause commotion, feelings cause confusion,

I always feel so happy, but is happiness just an illusion??

I hide my true feelings, I never let them out,

It may seem like im open, but im honestly shrouded in doubt..

My mind is so lost, my judgement is unsure,

I do know however that my feelings are pure..

The rain, the snow, the sleet, the wind,

All the storms make me realize once again..

Its a symbol of all the turmoil that loves put me through,

But none of that pain even matters now that I have you..

My uncertainty is my burden, but my blessing too,

Uncertainty proves im human and shows I dnt always know what to do..

The uncertainty makes sense of the oppurtunity,

I know it doesnt make sense but it will, just wait and see..

Life is a risk, its a challenge and a task,

Its gonna take work to make it last..

Thats just like love, yea its true,

Love is a risk between me and you..

We risk rejection, humiliation, judgement and pain,

Even on the brightest day, love can cause rain..

But for you, im willing to endure the storm,

Because in your arms, im safe and warm..

This ended off topic, it losts its path,

But its worth it to me, I hope this next statement lasts..

Love brings happiness,  but it also brings pain,

It causes sunshine but it also causes rain..

But in the end, to me its all worth it,

Cuz true love is a gift, and we can endure it..

Once you have love, its worth all the pain,

And now that I have you,

I can stand the rain..
