Becoming Unjudged
Hypocrisy
Devoured beliefs
And engulfed society
It's hard to believe
Some of us still have our humanity
But there are those who still cannot see
The damaged moralities
That was bestowed from corrupted creed
You don't know the heavy burden that each of us carries
-
Growing up
As gray as gray can be
Told that the way I am is wrong
I was taught to fear the real me!
Learning to hate differentiality
Hearing whispers all around
I despised my own identity
Things need to change now!
Some of us don't even make it that far / It's not what you do- but who you are
None of us should ever live in the dark / There will

You have.
"I want to be better."
You are.
"I want to be alive the next day.
You can be.
"How?"
Think of me.

Every single place
The troubles seem to grow
Every smiling face
Eventually frowns with woe
Why can't I do
Anything right
I just screw
Up everything despite
The happiness I try to spew
Is it me
Am I the source of this ache
Does the pain flow free
Is this what I make
People be?
Should I go away and hide
Never to see others
Or the outside
But would I stop another's
Pain and be the only one that ever cried
What is a life with no grey
When everyone is sad
I'd give it all away
It wouldn't be that bad
I would finally be able to say
I saved a life

People shouldn't be so cruel,
it shouldn't matter who you are.
It doesn't matter if you're gay,
because God made you that way.
If we look different, it's okay,
I like it better that way.
If we were all the same it'd be boring.
Bullies, you should be ashamed.
Why would you make people feel so helpless and small?
It doesn't make you strong at all.
People shouldn't act so mean to others.
How would you feel if they did that to you?
They may be different from you, but you're
different from them, too.

Sacrifice
I stepped inside the flame!
Hoping to be forgiven for what I became!
-
Have I no shame?
Have I no guilt?
There's no such thing as blame
For all of the wrongs I've been dealt
Point the finger
Only at the world
Watch you band together
And witness you antagonize another
Innocent souls
Wrapped inside of society's shadows
And little did they know
They were only born to be scapegoats
That's the harsh way to say it
It's only because the truth is filled with hatred
Bystanders just turn a blind eye
As they feed their relief with made up lies
That's all they know how to do
They're too afraid of being dragged down with you
They know
Deserving of NothingDeserving of Nothing6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
My endless imperfections
shout to the very core of my soul,
Beating away at my humility,
To bare reminder
that I do not deserve you
in the slightest...
Grace is your very essence,
as you embody that which is perfection.
Whereas my rush
to find the flaws of my name,
You tell it tales true,
of the feelings you hold.
Abnormal is my persona,
and infinite apologies are due,
Many thanks, just as much,
are in order...
To God, to you....
Beauty be what has enraptured my heart
for the eternal hour at hand,
You and only you are the whom
that I most desire,But never deserve.

that this is a dream.
None of it's real.
Nothing's what it seems.
But sometimes I wake
with a gasp and a start.
Like being thrown in a lake,
the cold waking my heart.
And I look up in fear
at what I've done.
It's bringing me to tear,
this monster I've become.
The things I've said,
the people I've hurt.
I wish I were dead,
Six feet in the dirt.
This can't be real.
I won't let it be.
I don't want to feel.
I don't want to be me.
So I slip back into dreams,
where everything's okay.
Nothing's as it seems,
but I get through the day.

They don't know what I've gone through
And even when it hurts
And even when there is pain
I wonder
if
If
They could
Survive the same
Their words may sting
And
Their laughter may
Make me
Cry
But there's no way
that
I'm going to let
Life pass me by
And people may talk
And they might judge

Suffering
The morning rain is falling outside
Like the tears I'm releasing from behind.
It hurts when I see a fake smile on my face
And those scars I can't erase.
Was it really worth suffering for, was it
Really enough to just cry for. Sorrow and
Coldness wake me up every night, with
humid pillow by my side.
The pain I'm trying to hide is losing
Its battle from time to time. My heart
is breaking away, counting the pieces
that are willing to shake.

When shes surrounded by pain all the while
Suffering and dismay she never wanted it this way
Shes never forgotten what happened that cold day
Looking in the mirror as a tear falls from her eye
Cause she knows what shes looking at is a lie
That sweet little girl she use to be
Is drawning in a sea of misery
Black roses fill the air a heart full of despair
Eyes full of fear loved one no longer held dear
Silent screams of a heart that no longer heals
Broken shards of a love that she no longer feels
She comes from a place no one ever wants to be
A child surrounded by a broken family
Beside a bed watc

Rain Of Thunder
I took the gift of light for granted-
Assuming I would always see
But when my world darkened-
My fears took the best of me
And I would give anything
Just to see a spark or a glow
But my faith was also fading
Withering away like my hope
-
The only sight I had
Was beyond the walls in my mind
But they were just figments from the past
A false savior that I could only hide behind
The shadows were becoming my mask
It was shielding me from living my life
The skies rumbled ominously / Like cries echoing sorrowfully
I felt rain falling endlessly / Like infinite liquid apologies
Reality shed the blackness / The roars fiercely pier

But how can I be sure
When my soul feels so empty
No sound so pure
As the reverberation of life
Beating in my core
So should i believe them
I'm sure they've lied before,
They said you only die once
But I first died when I was four
When daddy snuck into my room
And treated me like a whore,
And they said crying helps
That it sets the pain free
And though i cried every night
The tears never helped me,
They even said wounds heal with age
And though I got older,
Every single day
My wounds only grew deeper,
But I still continued to believe them
Even as they lied to me again
Telling me I'd find someone
Who'd save me fr

The feelings I can't expressTimes like this when I can’t find the rights words.The feelings I can't express1 month ago in Free Verse More Like This
Times like this when I find myself crying.
As I have no way to express.
But this pencil twirling in my hand.
Sometimes I’ll make art, and proudly show it.
Sometimes I’ll make shit, and quickly destroy it.
With either I find they both seem to end in the same way.
With a simple message, strewed through long and tedious words.
That could be said much simpler, and probably has.
But still I say it, for it’s all I have.
