Wispers hiding in the night.
Fragments of truth turned to lies.
Did it even matter?
The parts that were true?
Did you even know?
Why can't you face my in the light?
Look me in the eyes.
I know life isn't fair.
These are things we all go through.
We have to fight through them though.
Break apart the lies.
Mend our shattered hearts.
Wipe away the tears.
Realize that life is real.
And know that you can do anything!
Take off the mask, rip away the disguse.
Look up and bare the deep cut scars.
We have to face our love, and face our fears.
Give back the pain we feel.
Do what you have to do to break free!
Break the invisable cha

I lie awake at night.
So many things run through my head.
I disect my day.
All sleep gone from sight.
I toss and turn on my bed.
My day running on replay.
Over and over! I'll bite.
Is that really what I did, what I said?
Locked in my mind my emotions stay.
Is that really what I've done?
Is this who I want to be?
What am I doing with my life.
When the day has gone.
I found that I wasn't me.
I'm losing my mind.
I did it all for fun.
But it truly wasn't me. It isn't what I want to be.
Is it too late? Or am I out of time?
I might as well be dead..............
For all the good I've done............
Less Than PerfectBreak down the walls as I build them.Less Than Perfect1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Reveal my heart as I try to conceal it.
Walk with me just a little farther.
Under waves and trying to breathe water.
Savor now this lingered taste.
Hold me forever in this embrace.
I'm not perfect...never looked to be.
Less then worth it, all I'll ever be.
But look to me see the something...
That was born from the nothing.
See the heart...that looked to try.
Or the broken wings that dared to fly.
A caged wolf finally free.
Fate was all we would ever need.
In this breathe I give to you...
The broken dream, that dreamed of you.
In this moment...I aim to be....
Less than perfect...but always

The world looks to take me.
My soul looks to break free.
Won't let it shake me.
Help me escape me.
I am the nothing.
You claim is something.
I am the nothing…
You made into something.
Savor the taste.
The lingered embrace.
Love born out of hate.
We were more than fate.
You love the worst of me,
When you are the best of me.
Just looking to break free.
You help me escape me.
Repressed PainRepressed PainRepressed Pain9 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I have always done my best to hide my pain
because I thought I would have nothing to gain.
I always hid my emotions from others, even those I trust,
and by doing this I allowed many relationships to rust.
I always wanted to open up, wanted to love
but I never found anyone who fit me like a glove.
Maybe I am paranoid but I don't want to be hurt again.
I've been treated time and time again like a stain,
something that had to be done away with.
If I opened myself up I felt like Death followed with his scythe
ready to cut down any possibilities of a future.
I don't want to have hope then be left with nothing but a sutur

Why am I not enough,
to get through your heart that's so tough?
You ask me to show I care
but you refuse to open up and share.
I constantly feel lost and confused,
thrown away, rejected and used.
What is it that I'm lacking to you?
What causes you to make me sad and blue?
I wish I could escape, get away from here
but I am paralyzed by my fear.
What do I do if I never feel love again?
What will happen to me then?
Should I say goodbye and walk away,
or should I give you another chance and stay?
Tell me what to do
so I wont have to lose you.
Fear of FireFear of Fire2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Since I was little everyone told me that fire was to be feared.
That it was a tool used to protect but when used wrong a double bladed knife.
You play with fire and you'll get burned.
That with light comes pain. That is the way of life.
I used to stick my finger in the flame.
It hurt. It burned.
But to me it was a way to escape the pain.
A way to hold it back. To keep it tamed.
Slowly flames grew bigger, brighter.
With a power that consumes everything in its path.
Deep, rare, powerful, hungry, that is fire.
Not only passion but a deep rath.
It eats a person from the inside out.
Until it is released.
A rage the burns, but you do
My Own Self-DestructionThere are things about meMy Own Self-Destruction2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I just can't control
The shame makes me want
To crawl in a hole
I rely on you more
Than you'll ever know
It'd be better for you
If I were to go
I know I'm a burden
Don't bother denying
But I can't seem to shake this
No matter how hard I'm trying
The guilt causes pain
And so does the fear
The voices inside
Are all I can hear
All of these things
Make it so hard to function
I am the cause
Of my own self-destruction.
You're Not MeYou have absolutely no ideaYou're Not Me2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
What it's like to be me
Unless you're looking through these eyes
There's no way you can see
I know that you don't understand
It's a hard thing to explain
The methods that I use
To get through all this pain
You may not think you're judging me
But it's obvious you are
If you try to help while judging me
You won't get very far
You're telling me to do things
That I simply cannot do
It's not that I don't want to change
It's just I don't know how to
I know I'm hard to deal with
I know it oh, so well
And for that I am ashamed
It hurts you, I can tell
I'm sorry for the way I am
More sorry than you know
Let Me GoI walk alone...I walk away.Let Me Go2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
You let me go....why should I stay?
Give me reason...to take a breath.
Or let me go like all the rest.
I once played with fire..and I got burned.
I trusted a liar....and now it's your turn.
I break in front of your eyes...you let me down.
You gave me breath...just to let me drown.
Next to you I am naked.
In your eyes I can't fake it.
Yet never enough as you break my heart.
Stop building me up, just to rip me apart.
Cause it hurts...to know your lying.
Tired of hearing you say you're trying.
Never ending....are these ways.
You let me go....why should I stay?
Born of the AshI stood feet firm on the ground.Born of the Ash2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Destruction all around me..but I swear I heard no sound.
The rubble under my feet...holding fast.
Dirt and tears across my face...I am born of the ash.
Long live the day...I looked to be.
Better then you ever thought I could be.
As I walk, the flames start to die.
I remember...why I even looked to try.
But now I know...what led me here.
What was once hard to see....finally made clear.
Under these stars...I find the voice.
In this breath...I made the choice.
Not going to carry the world anymore.
Tired of buckling under the weight, and what for?
Face tilted to the heavens...the rain hits my face.
Balance.Balance.2 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Yin and Yang. Dark and light.
Good and evil. Balence and inbalance.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Normal and abnormal. Sanity and insanity.
The stalkers of the night.
The words you follow blindly in a trance.
Tell me what are you running from?
What is it that you can't break free?
It is yourself.
You hold yourself down.
Buried in a grave deep underground.
This is where the monster dwells.
You're crashing hard.
Look deep inside.
Are you who you want to be?
Is this where you want to go? What you want to be?
The cuts in your heart have turned to scars.
And you face a mirror, you can no longer hide.

FadedCold and jaded. Loved and hated.Faded1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
They keep saying our names; yet claim we have faded.
I remember the shadow of yesterday.
Beckoning me closer, as it slowly slips away.
A heart can only beat so loud.
As its being ripped out.
We must suffer the worst.
Before we deserve the best.
Learn the depth of thirst...
Before ever appreciating quench.
If we don't believe we can fall,
Then truly we can never risk it all.
Only in fear can one ever be brave.
Only with courage can hope remain unscathed.
As empty promises break away,
What was; fades to grey.
The world could walk out on me...
But as long as your here...it's far from empty.
Cold
The Little Part of MeThis little part of me I am.The Little Part of Me1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I would give it all to you.
This little part I hide and keep.
I would give it all to you.
This place gets so quiet.
Just the breath of a ghost town.
I would like to apologies.
If I ever let you down.
Am not the the hero.
Am often not brave.
Often I am saving...
When truthfully I want to be saved.
My mind is often rambles.
My thoughts are often stirred.
I would love to be a monster.
As long as I got to be yours.
I can be insecure.
I sometimes play to lose.
Sometimes I want to give up.
And stop adding knots to this noose.
I am not ashamed,
That sometimes I am weak.
That sometimes I want to brea

Everything I have come to be.
I was never the hero.
Only the villain I made me.
I love the way I tear me down.
I love the way you break me out.
I Betray me just for you to save me.
You love me...while I try to hate me.
Never good enough...
But to you I add up.
Sweet prayer....
I can taste my forgiveness.
My redeemer....
Finding worth in the worthless.
On the edge, on the brink.
Life is sink or swim.
Watch me sink.
Breathing in water.
Make it my breath.
They took my best...
You claimed the rest.
Hold up the walls,
As the roof caves in.
If I let go...
Pull me in.
This Thing They Call ForeverI try to burn alive.This Thing They Call Forever1 year ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Am caught in your fire.
As I lay here....
Breathing you in for awhile.
The tide keeps claiming me.
But I know you hold back the storm.
Would you take my breath away
Just to be the reason it's restored.
Lets waste it away...
This thing they call forever.
Let it all fade...
But you're what I'll always remember.
Carry the thunder,
As it's raging in my chest.
Held me above water...
When I had nothing left.
I try to burn alive.
Am caught in your fire.
As I lay here....
Breathing you in for awhile.
An ode to a certain beautyThere's a certain beautyAn ode to a certain beauty2 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
That has captured my eye
Her friendship would behoove me
I can not pass her by
She may not be pencil thin
but to me, that is okay
She won't be taken by the wind
So her body I will not trade.
She may not be Americas top model
but there's no doubt that she is fine
The space between our eyes like tunnels
Their beauty traveling into my mind.
She may not be the next Einstein
But she is smart enough for me
She says the right thing at the right time
And puts my heart at ease
She may not be perfect to others
but everyone makes mistakes
The only real crime she has ever mustered
Was the taking of my heart today
She may n

Her words hit like toxins
Tried so hard to stop them
But can you rescue me...?
Now I'm stuck with no patience
All alone, Contemplating
While the world keeps on hating
But you can set me free...
Death row is a certain
When life is my burden
Put an end to the torment
But can you rescue me...?
No more shedding tears now
The world stands in wait now
As life's taking me down
But you can set me free...
Take my hand and set me free
Break my chains and rescue me
Show me what I was too blind to see
You can save my life...
Take me away to some place new
that's far away, just me and you
Show me what some love can do
You can

And the next your gone
Pleasant things that I feel
Never last that long
I don't know who to trust
Everyone disappears
Then I'll be all alone
Which is something I feared
But then you tell me your different
Won't treat me like the rest
but when I'm at my limits
Your loyalty failed the test
I'm not a devilish person
I always tried to be kind
But when the world runs on love
I guess I'll get left behind
Acid RainAcid RainAcid Rain10 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Living life this way.
Losing myself day by day.
I had always clung to one hope,
that you would be my safety rope.
I thought you would stay by my side
and I could just go along for the ride.
But today I learned what it is to feel real pain.
Feeling real pain is like standing in acid rain.
That acid rain dissolved my heart
as soon as you said we had to part.
What is done is done
and we had our fun.
I loved and trusted you
but after all this acid rain you put me through,
all I can stand to do is cry
and tell you goodbye.

Time and time again I make this mistake,
fall hard and fast just to hit the ground.
My emotions refuse to remain quiet
when I open up to someone.
Trust is my biggest mistake in life.
I will never regret my choices
but I also wish I could learn from them.
Whats done is done and life continues
to go on at it's own pace.

We were best friends
we laughed and we sang
and we played pretend.
What happened yesterday
that made you change your mind
about sticking with each other
till the end of time?
On the phone
we'd talk till dawn
then we'd meet up for school
in the early morning
But now today has come
and now i sing alone
and I don't feel like
talking on the phone
Because you're not here
and oh how it hurts
My best friend disappeared
off the face of the earth

Everything will be okay
But when it just becomes a lie to myself
I take a walk down to the river bank
When I'm there I just watch the water flow
and feel envy for it's simplicity
Why does it get to lie around all day
Whilst life comes and tortures me
Then I think to myself everything has it's place
And every dog will truly have it's day
I may not be able to bite back right now
but i must build up the courage to stay
Stand strong in the face of pure aggravation
Stand strong when I am feeling weak
Stand strong because the very river that i had envied
Continues to push itself to reach it's peak
So I walk a

Since the last time we spoke
Got my phone right beside me
Giving me hope
I wait all day
Wishing you were here
Making me smile
And holding me near
I'm dying to see you
It's killing me inside
You want to see me
For once, I don't want to hide
Before you came along
I felt like Hell
Then you said "hi"
And all was well
You say I'm saving you
But you're really saving me
Maybe we're saving eachother
So let's wait and see
