If I FallIf I fall…
I will stand

If I hurt…
I will heal

If I cry…
I will laugh

If I die...
I will live

Dear Whole WorldDear whole world,
I must confess
That I cannot stand
Watching you spiral
Into your demise
You poison yourself
You kill yourself
And you care not
'bout love nor smarts
But only you
Your looks
And possessions

ScarsThe mind forgets
But the heart remembers
The criss-crossing scars
Show like stars
The streaming tears
And haunting fears
Flowing pain
Of the slain
The cries of those
Who never screamed
Praying for life
Without a sound
The pleas for help
Never heard
The wishes that chance
Never granted
The pain might dull
And the mind forget
But the heart
Will always remember

I'm Right HereIf the wind blows and you hear my voice-
Rejoice-

If the tears fall and you call my name-
I came-

If you reach for my hand and don't find it-
Wait a bit-
(Mine will find yours)

If you think I left for a sunnier sky-
That's a lie-

I'm right here.

Could You?One smile was all it took
Who thought a heart could break this quickly?
One glance, one stare
Did you even remember that I was there?
Your eyes locked on her face
Who thought a heart could crumble into decay?
There are so many things I want to say
So many things I want to scream in your face
So many tears I tried to hide
When I said I felt better, could you tell that I lied?
Could you tell that this is eating away at me?
The image won't go away
I try to remind myself of happiness and glee
But I remember when you were with her, and not me
Now you tell me you love me, I trust you with that
And I want you to know th

Was It All A Lie?The funny thing is,
You can walk past me
And totally ignore me
Acting like I don't exist
Without an inch of guilt in your black heart
After all the things we have been through
After all the times we have been there for each other
And you act like it never happened

The funny thing is,
You can look in the mirror
Thinking you're the best
Thinking you are too good for everyone
After all the things I have done for you
After all the things we have put each other through
Through thick and thin
And totally forget that I was once in your life
That you needed me

That you loved me

It's like you're a totally different per

Lightning.Lightning splinters the sky
just like two years ago,
when you told me your secret,
how it cracked you into pieces
just like lightning.
And I am beginning to understand
how life is shocking and jagged,
just like lightning.
I ran out into the rain tonight,
reminded of three years ago
how we were as free and
as unbridled as lightning.
You were my storm.
Lightning never strikes in the same place,
But you struck my heart three times.
As swift, as unpredictable,
as impulsive as lightning.

King ArthurHark! Behold, the King is coming home!
King Arthur is coming home!
Watch as he returns, a hero until the end,
For us, he shall fight and defend!
Crowds a-flocking, pointing and gasping,
His carriage coming through, wheels a-rasping!
Oh! What greater emotion is there than this?
Watching the King, his face filled with bliss?
But there is no bliss among the faces of the crowd,
For the Great King is covered in a shroud,
And the blood stains the clear sky,
Mourning for a life gone awry

I'll Make My Own WayBiting my lips until they bleed
Because there's no one here to kiss them
Sat in the dark because no one needs me with them
Trapped in a cold, dark padded cell
It's meant to be a refuge but it feels like hell
I need the key but I don't even know if there is one

You said it would be easier than this
I don't deserve any of this
Please can someone take me far away from this
Before there's nothing left of me

Because it's just me now
No one else to hold me tight
I'll sing the lullabies to myself
To help me get through the night
And if someone else comes along
To take me out of this place
I'll welcome them with open arms
And a smile

My Summer RepriseI wore shorts and a tank top that night… Remember
the Hello Kitty one with the lace back?
I tossed and turned that night, drowning in my own
sweat. The fan was on full blast, making me nervous with
its obtrusive sounds, which did little to cool me down.

Even just lying on the blankets, the heat was unbearable.
The water bottle next to me was near empty, as I had been
drinking it to keep cool. The clock read 3:30am, and I
wondered if you were there, awake in your bed, sweating as
I was in this summer heat.

My answer was there on my phone screen.
"No new messages"

This LandThis is not my home...
Not where I reside.
But where I thrive,
That is my home.

When I first arrived
Here in this grassy plateau...
I saw no one else.
Just an empty flatland.

But one by one,
The curtains fell
Off of their cold,
Rigid, steel hooks.

What lie behind...
I thought I'd never find.
A faint shadow...
In the shape of a person.

One behind each sheet,
Standing as straight as
The trunk of a tree.
Looking strangely puzzled.

And one by one,
As I gaze at the figures,
Their attention become focused
On the figure... of me.

Slowly, I began to see
Who they truly were.
They were my family.
Tried and true.

Not related

I'm justI'm not a genius
I just remember,
I'm not strong or tough,
I just know how to use my words,
I'm not a comedian,
I just like to have fun.
I'm no one special,
I'm just plain old me.

LostPlease, someone help me

I'm lost and all alone

Left by myself in the darkness,

I can no longer find the light

Those once by my side are now gone,

Torn from me are my loved ones

Now all that's left is lies

Please, someone help me

I'm lost and so confused.

I cannot find my way any more

The mask I wore has crumbled

And I can no longer hide

The light is gone and the darkness is coming

I'm blind without a hand to guide me

So, alone and cold I walk

Alone in London TownI'm alone in old London-town
Searching for a place to sleep
I was going up, but came down
Now I'm living on the street

My bed's the number twenty-five
From Oxford Circus to Manor Park
Driver shakes me up when we arrive
I get out into the bus stop dark

It's summer but the rain is biting
Got no raincoat, just a plastic bag
Some folks think this is exciting
But truth is this life's a drag

I'll go to the place in the morning
Where they give me coffee white,
Let me out with the same warning:
"Hey, old chap, be safe tonight"

Got an appetite of a lorry driver
Gonna pick some pockets on the train
If I'm lucky I might get a fiver
If

Take it from me.Take it from me.
Someone who isn’t the prettiest.
Someone who weighs too much.
Someone who is too tall.
Someone who has acne.
Someone who is perfectly imperfect.

Even if you are too short to be pretty.
Or too tall to be cute.
Even if you weigh too much,
Even if you wear glasses.
Or have braces.
Even if your nose is too big.
Or your mouth is too small.
Or your eyes are “poop” brown.

You are beautiful.

Take it from me.
Someone who’s been hurt time and time again.
Someone who has lost hope.
Someone who will never be the best.

You are perfect.

Take it from me,
Someone who’s just like you.

Someone loves you.
Even if you don’t see it yet.

Burning DreamsI stood alone on that massive ship,
Surrounded by all my dreams-
As we drifted to the middle of the sea
I took out a tiny match
And let it drop onto the deck;
"If my dreams must burn," said I,
"So must I."
And the whole ship was set ablaze,
Flames shooting towards the sky-
And I-
I perished amongst my dreams,
Surrounded by what I could not achieve

The Human StarThe star fell from the sky
Into my very arms;
"Away with you," said I,
"Return to your siblings above."
I threw him up high,
With all of my might
But he came back down
"No," cried he,
"I want to be human!"
I scoffed and scolded,
"You're perfectly absurd!
You drift peacefully above,
happy as a clam;
Do you not know
Of the pain humans feel?
Who would want to be human?"
Like a child, he huffed and replied,
"I want more than to drift!
Do you not know?
The pain of humans,
their sorrow, disappointment-
Is part of their sweet triumph?
Need I any more reason,
Other than just to be human?"
Hereafter he left,
And I wondered if

Untouched BooksDirty fingerprints crust the pages
Of the books of forgotten lore
That have laid here before all ages
Untouched from before-

Unconcerned with reason or rhyme,
Longing for those finger-shaped prints,
They have waited all this time,
To be imprinted with darkened tints

But all that meets them is the chilly air,
And the quiet whispers of phantoms past;
And still they wait with silent flair,
To be marked with fingers again at last

The EagleThe eagle stares with bright yellow eyes
From his throne within the skies-
His throne of talons and powers raw,
His throne of piercing beaks and iron claw

Ruffled feathers, speckled brown and white,
His sharp caw instilling fright
I salute thee, Sir Eagle, with all my might-
As you continue to survive and fight

And should you ever fail to fly,
You shall still reach for the sky;
Until that day (may it never come, I pray-)
You shall rule, undisputed, the sky by day

And I watch the eagle, amazed by him,
He, who can destroy on a whim;
And forever I will watch him soar
Into the clear blue sky forevermore

Red or Amethyst

Come to me in the dawn of the month,
When the moon is at the peak of ascent
I will present you with flowers so fine-
Two roses- one red, one amethyst,
But be wary of which one you choose,
For each is beauteous and terrible in power
The red rose brings back your lost love,
While the other bestows a healed heart
So now I shall ask for your choice:
Would you prefer red, or amethyst?

A choice.

The choice doesn't matter. By bringing back your lost love, you heal your heart, and by healing your heart, you bring back your lost love.
