It took me a long time to realize that the thing that is keeping you going is not always something that you are able to see,
And that even when everyone else is against you, you can not allow them to deter you from who you want to be.
You know? I'm tired of lighting the world with tiny glowing screens.
I'm tired of fake men, women, and all those inbetween who don't know how to turn on
Goddamned light but have the audacity to complain about the dark.
It’s an odd thing to be asked, “Where are you from?” Our mind holds thousands upon millions of memories and ideas that help us determine everyday things.
A flower made of fire
Was consumed by fear
And went up in smoke.
"Kick down the walls,
Open the window,
Let the light shine in.
Embrace the way your soul repeats,
'You are unique.'"
blades blunt
and people break
men will hunt
we make mistakes
preyed on runts
its them we forsake
we're just the grunts
and we work for snakes
who we should confront
Have you ever seen a Flower
A Single Blooms every Hour
But when comes the shower
They fight
Instead of soaring up like a kite
They became a revolting sight
Lowering themselves without delight
This class is really dumb.
Time doesn’t seem to ever pass.
But I’m starting to feel numb,
to the idiocy of our class.
Our teacher’s lessons seem muddled,
Jitters and shakes.
Sitting unmovin.g
To run for it and jump.
To feel the sweet airs go rushing passed
And the release of no control.
Submergence,
And quick kicks to reach the water's surface.
Go ahead,
Knock me on the floor,
And laugh your cruel laugh.
I will rise.
Better and stronger,
With bones made of bronze,
I will destroy everything about you.
so many thoughts course through my heart
it feels heavy, a burden, so i want you to take it, and keep it safe
i look at the death around me and think
the hatred of the world consumed you, I understand,
