Everyone wants something
Whether its wealth, power, or affection
Our desires can even avoid our detection
Some use force, some wit, some don’t even try
But for those who play it fair and see how it goes
They are often happiest when they die
How will your gamble turn out?
No one knows
For those who succeed, are they satisfied?
If so, how long does it last til it loses its zeal?
Because fantasies have a rotten habit of becoming real
Real things are tax-able
Real things aren’t perfect
Real things are hack-able
Real things disappoint
Real things are break-able
Real things don’t last forever…
Remember what you had been taught
That you should be content with what you’ve got
And that happiness cannot be bought
It must be earned and appreciated
Don’t try and become something you’re not.

The light inside
the light inside will always hide in truth or lie it will never die.
the flame may burn the young will learn and the will always be free.
it may not be seen and may not be heard but its voice as beautiful as a song bird.
my light will shine in a time thats right for it to fight.
i will fight to be free and say something you can not see.
the is inside me and you and him too.
the inside will be free so please talk to me.

i wake up in the mornings
the birds cherp in my ear
i hear dogs bark and the thin thin cool air
i aways think life is hard so hard it hard to survie
but life is worth the living
life is life in time

Heavy Lies
broken dreams
tainted schemes
i hide inside
this heavy lie
why do you pretend to care
when your true feelings are very clear
you act like your my friend
well this "friendship" must end
i cant stand your pitiful act
under pressure....
you always crack
interrogation...
hibernation...
sorting through the lies
hiding deep inside
either way
i cannot stay
this house is not my home
im like a prisoner..
no freedom to roam
so im leaving now
and im never coming back
i loved you...but its different now
and this is a fact
we pretended to be on the same page
but inside i was filled with rage
rage of how much you lied..
rage that you were never by my side..
im through explaining the truth
and now i need to hear from you.

Butterfly
It's wings are very beautiful,
Enchanting if you please,
It flutters gracefully through the sky,
Riding on the breeze,
It lands on a flower,
I hope it's there to stay,
For if I had the choice,
I would sit and watch all day,
So who is this amazing creature that goes by,
Why, it's a gorgeous butterfly!

watch them eat and grow stonger
there Gods Creatures
behold! there all around you

lives are lost
dreams are crushed
hearts are broken
but through it all we survive
we mourn
we regret
we cry
but through it all we survive

The Mirage
It seemed like a well
that circle of white stones
underneath the waves.
My brother let go of the oars
I too looked from the rowboat.
At some point
before the sea rose
they drew from this well.
But had the sea risen?
Perhaps it was a sandstone puzzle
or a ring of rocks
was on the sandy bottom. Or else
a tidy-looking wreck of stones
ancient sailors' ballast.
Unnoticed currents moved us.
On the bottom now
a slow dance of algae
confused me. We were searching
there were only greenish tufts
grown visible on the bottom.
From the oar cold drops of water
fell to give me shivers.
Cold wind made us notice the evening.

I Wish
Hair flowing
Down my back
Big open sky
Soft, whispering breeze
Close my eyes
Very tight
Wish upon
A star
Wish for
My fantasy
My dreams
In my mind
The whispered words
That I hear
To be heard
By all mankind
Wish for worlds
Dreamt by children
And creative minds
So full and beautiful
Wide open skies
Soft green grass
Castles and queens
Princesses and knights
I wish for better places
For the world to be
I wish for wide open spaces
To run freely
I wish on a little star
With my eyes shut real tight
I wish for a little bird
To fly me away at night.
11.Tabithus_Prime
To enjoy a simple summer breeze
While it caresses your cheek
Is to love another with such ease
And be touched by one so meek
To feel the grass between your fingers
And feel the earth breathe out and in
Is to love with love that ever lingers
And hold another with no sin
To let the rain hit your face
Even if it hurts a tad
Is to save another with your grace
And love another feeling sad
To watch the sun rise each day
and in the evening set
Is to walk with another along the way
And love with no regret
Also...
When the night came crushing down,
there was no light and little sound;
the darkness swallowed all around,
my heart and head began to pound.
all my thoughts were racing by;
was it me who was to die?
i wished it all to be a lie,
but instead i was left to cry
she was leaving; i was here.
now it all was crystal clear.
all i could do was stand in fear,
but it was time to perservere.
She lay there, distraught with pain,
"She'll be ok," i seemed to feign.
My whole life seemed, now, mundane.
her death was mine and my heart's own bane.
Up at me, she simply gazed.
I stood there, afraid but amazed,
Her eyes looked dark and sadly hazed;
all the suff'ring left her dazed.
She lifted herself by only a bit
even in pain, she would not quit
She took my hand, her eyes now lit
She showed sadness, but only a whit
Cringing and biting back her dread
She slowly reached and touched my head
"I'll love you even when im dead...",
Are the last words she ever said.

+Slip and Fall+
Maybe one day
Maybe some time
but obviously not now
for what we have done is a crime.
I'm now trapped
inside my own mind
and what i see it hurts
the pain, i am forever bind
to the addiction of my imagination
this feeling, this druglike sensation.
Reality is overrated
why be real when everything else
is gone and faded.
What is it you ask?
I cannot answer
for really though you think you were real,
you were killing your soul like cancer.
Red, yellow, green, orange,
a car, a dog
a silver door hinge.
Anything I wish to see
I can, but no not in reality
In my mind
that's where it's at.
The place to escape you all,
is easy to get to
just let yourself slip and fall.
Also...
+Black Tears+
It wasn't just this one day
where he couldn't keep his anger at bay.
It happened before in the past
but she covered it up so fast
Make-up, Long sleeve shirts.
You couldn't see how much it hurts.
The bruises are still there.
Thinks she deserves it, thinks its fair.
He swears he's sorry, never happen again
Just like all the abusive men.
Now as her eyes begin to bleed
Black tears, burning hot, roll down her cheek.
He strikes another blow
He covers her mouth, she tries to scream no
but that doesn't stop her from running,
scratches him, runs, hides, so cunning.
She slowly, quietly, closes the door,
He screams, shouts, she can't feel anymore.
She can't help but think of the boys
then hears him grunt and listen for noise.
A crash and she jumps
He's found her, pulls her out
A smack, and to the ground she slumps.

As midnight aprouched,
her breath stay still.
Leaving an icy silence apon the heath.
She looked around and saw only blankness,
then it apeared it was her thoughts.
In her head she thoght of the ever closer chimes.
The wind howled and the rain screamed down from the heavens.
The distant clock chimed so defening,
but it was not seen, just herd.
bong.
bong.
bong.
bong.
bong.
bong.
She heard crunching footsteps coming.
She froze.
bong.
bong.
bong.
bong.
bong.
There was a rasping breath behind her, a hand reached out.
BONG!
At last,
It handed over a bleach blue letter.
Then dissapeared.
She reached in side the letter,
it said-
{apon thy heath one young girl stood.
While thou was watching thous noughboardhood.
As thy girls promised, she reaperead.
Not knowing she protected her life so dear.
She looked behind her to see...}
The girl turned around before finishg the letter.
Her soul was instantly lost.
But for the better...

Cold Fate
Your face so cold,
When the water turned to ice,
It cried the story it told,
For every moment happened twice,
I stood there in pain,
Calling out in hunger,
For just one drop of rain,
And maybe a little thunder,
The ice kept on falling,
As if it would never stop,
It was hard to understand what it was calling,
But it seemed the ice was on top,
Soon we would freeze,
If this storm would never end,
The ice seemed to tease,
This we could never mend,
We were almost frozen,
And close to death,
As if we were chosen,
To take one more breath,
We both turned to stone,
As the storm continued on,
People sat to moan,
For our souls were gone.
Also...
Nature’s Destruction
The nature hangs by a vine,
Almost dropping to its death,
It’s being polluted what was once mine,
It’s almost dead,
These humans are destroying the Earth,
The gasoline and the cigarettes,
They tear it apart waiting for its worth,
To be imbedded in the dirt,
They cut down our trees,
They’re making it all disappear,
I see what nobody sees,
Watching it all be torn apart,
The followers are clueless,
To what is being done,
I wish they wouldn’t do this,
And Mother Earth does too,
So listen to this message,
And stop contributing,
To the Earth’s wreckage,
And stop this madness.
