Natural DisasterYou're a natural disasterNatural Disaster3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Flooding up the streets,
Wherever you go.
Creeping up behind me,
Brewing up a storm.
Why can't you ever
Just leave me alone?
You're a natural disaster
Don't think you ever
Care about the ruins.
Are you aware
Of the pain and suffering?
The ashes and bones
They're all because of you.
You're a natural disaster
Another family
Is separated in the cold.
Worry strikes across
Their nation.
Everyone knows
What is the cause of it all.
You're a natural disaster
How do I put out
The fire in your heart?
Can your winds
Ever be calm?
Will you please
Stabilize the ground?
You're a natural disaster

She Gave Her SoulRecycled dreams and torn heart seams,She Gave Her Soul3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
So dark in truth, but outwardly beams.
Ask of her heart, and her eyes will dart
Her time is done, she played her part.
The little lies and unseen cries,
Most can't tell from a couple of sighs.
Staying strong but won't move on.
Her eyes won't shut until the dawn.
I know too well, how hard she fell.
And how, for him, her soul she'd sell.

Think.
Is this worth it?
Anger,
The blood-red broth,
Bubbling within, frothing.
Waiting to be spilt from mouths
Waiting to roll off a tongue,
And poison the next.
Clammy hands, itching to injure,
To strangle,
To mangle…
Slow down.
Jealousy,
Emerald shades of spite slither
Through the body.
Temptation tugs at the hands
Urging death, anticipating fury.
A shiver of revenge.
A beg for ruin…
Slow down.
Isolation,
A hued world
Stretches out before you,
Rolling in extacy at your feet,
Yet monochromatic landscapes
Are all you see..
A fleeting dream of company
Continues to disturb your sle

Silence.
It was nice to get away from all the noise. It was beautiful, in a way. But not as beautiful as you were.
The way the sun shone down on your inky black hair, the sparkle in your blue eyes. I miss those times when we sat on the clock tower together, the two-no..three of us. The fun we had, eating salty sweet ice cream, laughing, not a care in the world. At first, you were like my sister, and he was my best friend. Over that year, lots of things happened. Some of them didn't make sense. Why was I getting these strange visions? Why did it seem like I could feel things....when I knew nobodies couldn't?
I guess I didn't realize how muc

Only to turn the lights off so they can watch me as I sleep.
Plunging into the ocean of blankets
I hear the air scurry out from under my sheets.
Resting my head,
I close my eyes in my attempts to fall asleep.
As I drift away into the solemn clouds of weightless obsessions,
The alarm goes off,
And the birds cry...
For another dream has been forgotten.

Some of this may not make sense to you yet, so keep a hold of this. It will be your map and guide through your life. There is so much I want to tell you, but so little time.
I know you haven't yet started school, but when you do, don't worry that you are different from the other children. Don't try to impress them, they won't matter to you when you're older. Just be you. Don't lock up your imagination, write down -everything-. You don't need to tell anyone, just write and keep writing.
When you reach high school, it's going to be a -lot- rougher than the elementary school. Kids will be crueler. Don't worry about being popular
Take A RiskIm in love with the boy that sits in the back seatTake A Risk3 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
With the sky blue eyes and a handle on his dream
He has a hard time wearing his heart on his sleeve
But my friends all say he's got a crush on me
But I can never be sure with things like that
Im a little bit afraid of slipping off the track
'Cause if I lose my pride I can never get it back...
But someone once told me
"You better listen closely, 'cause...:
Sometimes it's worth the climb
It's okay to make mistakes

But that's just a chance you gotta take...
It's okay to be scared, a little unprepared

Silence,
Is golden,
It's true,
What many say,
But silence is also,
A weapon,
Which too many freely,
Give away
Silence,
Like knowledge,
Is power,
And often misunderstood
Some few,
Remain silent,
Not because they had to,
But because they could
Silence,
Can be suffering,
It can be,
Total misery,
But silence,
Should never,
Ever,
Be mistaken for defeat
Silence,
Is a tool,
Sometimes the sharpest,
Of them all,
And it echoes,
Hollow and accusing,
Like a voice,
In an empty hall
Silence,
Can be a gamble,
But not for me,
I think
Silence does not,
Sound weakness,
For me it sounds,
Victory

With the Strength of a Child His ripped shirt is barely visible in the dust and smoke.

Saving Lalu 5The waitress blushes again as she hands Tex another beer.Saving Lalu 53 years ago in Stories & Vignettes More Like This
"Thank ya sweet cheeks," he gives his flirty smirk towards her.
But the cowboy truly wasn't all there; his head was completely loaded with stress. Part of it was because of his job, being a pirate was very stressful. But there was something else in Tex's head that kept bugging him, a small "ping" of guilt that just wouldn't go away. No matter how drunk he would get, he couldn't find himself able to shake it off.
Much to the waitresses dismay, Tex paid and left the bar after finishing his last beer. But, he then stops before reaching his car and places a hand ontop of his gun.

You pulled me along with the temptation of re-invention.
I never questioned the mould you were fitting me to until I lost my reflection in your eyes.
That's how I knew you didn't look beyond your own well planned lies.
(Succumbing was easy but breaking free nearly killed your reputation)
I would have liked to see you suffer but the conscience in me made sure I just slipped away quietly from your grasp.

Just never good enough
I won't take off and fly
Open a letter, pause
Wait and take a gasp

But if you think your plan is foolproof, you haven't yet met me.
I know the way you go around like you're so big and strong,
You think that you are always right, but I know you are wrong.
Don't get me wrong, I'm the lowest kind of low, I'll tear you right apart,
I'm a bitch, I know it's true, you've thought so from the start.
I see that way you look at me, with hatred in your eyes,
I know that sheild you're looking for's worth more than money buys.
I'll say this once, and only once, so let me make this clear:
If you try to mess with me, you will regret it, dear.

If you could do it for the better of the people around you,
If you could change before you could make a mistake,
one of regret, hurt and stubbornness,
I would take that chance.
If you could control the world without disagreement at your door,
If you could die knowing you couldnt hurt someone,
or even just knowing you've changed something for the better,
I would take that chance.
Life is only as hard as you make it out to be,
In the end the best thing you could ever do is to guide the world through the path of justice.

Everything is in black and white.
As the clouds that I once saw, are gone.
The rocks there gone, disappeared in the blankness.
My eye's are wait less
my arms become the static
I seem to have lost them on the edge of dreams
my soul will be next
to reach the meaning of black and white
the beginning of a sunrise
its empty
it got lost some where within the strings
of my guitar
the sun set wasn't enough, it seems
static has reached the water
as it drips from our naked bodies
as we become gated in black and white
we see the jazz
as the voices start to cry, we the static
the new name we lust for
as the lust from the smoke

I wish for hate,
I wish for the apocolypse,
so that I may glimpse,
a new life,
a new era,
another bloody chapter.
I wish for doom,
I wish for death,
I wish the bombs,
would take our breath.
There will be no heroes,
no saviors,
we'll die alone,
with useless prayers.
I wish for ice,
I wish for cold,
I wish for the end,
if I may be so bold.
I see the light,
that moves across the sky,
a messenger of death,
on a never ending quest,
but it doesn't deliver words,
but instead a sound of fear,
that states simply clear,
that the end,
is finally here.

That's fun, adventurous, and funny.
One that makes you smile
brighter than a morning glory.
I want to create this story.
I do! I really do!
With tension tugging at the heart
and a plot twist that will make your jaw drop.
I want to create this story.
Where the beginning is the end.
The ultimate prelude.
With a very fitting bend.
I want to create this story.
Where two fates will entwine.
A romance for the ages.
And only slightly corny.
I want to create this story.
A story for the times.
One that fills your heart with glee,
like a song with a light melody.
I want to create this story.

Arctic fox wrapped in light

Padding silently 'till the thaw

Looking for a bone to gnaw
Hoping for somewhere warm to withdraw
