I cry a lot, don't you?
I trust people too easily
I'm trusting you.
I forget things a lot, don't you?
I lie to people too easily
I'm not lying to you.
What is flaw?
Is it what makes you different from everybody else?
Is it what you lack?
Is it your potiential to go further than everybody else?
What makes me flawless? What makes me flawless?
Started my day before sunrise
Started my day after noontide
Started my day at witching hour
16 or 12 hours, all shifts I devour
Started my day with sarcastic smiles
We'll always remember our youth,
our careless and reckless acts.
We'll always remember our childish loves,
Keeping quiet
Thinking something is wrong
Why does no one talk?
Trying but failing.
Always waiting for someone to see me
What about them, he or she
Everybody loves a girl that is confident.
Everybody loves a girl that is beautiful.
Humans are so fragile
They must be taken care of.
But animals don't matter
Since they're never given love.
You begin to walk away
Like you did no harm.
The animals died today
Being gay isn't a choice
Because why would I choose to lose my voice?
Not my voice physically, but politically
You tell me I don't listen
Do you not see MY eyes glisten?
I am a sponge- taking in your every word
Every little thing you THINK I haven't heard
Am I supposed to create a composed answer
Real smooth, aren't I?
At least that's what my friends say.
I'll attempt my best staying on topic
Crying doesn’t solve problems
But it will make you feel better
That’s why we cry on others’ shoulders
That’s why our pillow is soaked at night
That’s why the next day we can smile
The feeling I got that night
I thought that you were just right
Things were said and done
That I just feel into your trap
It was nice while it lasted
But, its obvious that things all blasted
We are given a sword at birth,
so mighty we feel.
We don't know what it's for,
nor it's true power of steel.
After years of training,
it's come the day to fight.
No one wants to see us go,
I have always wondered. Why is lightning preceded by thunder? Well that's because sound is much slower than light. So it is only right that first would come light. That's why the click precedes the flash of the camera.
To change the world in the blink of an eye
In a way such that no more needlessly die
To let Nature run its course
To eliminate those who rule by force
A species capable of worldwide peace
Seek that which is away from the surface
Dig further, refrain to linger on surface
Deep across the ocean blue
See the beauty and the true
Beyond the surface
A blank canvas without design
Belle, meaning beauty from the land of France
We remember from the movie how she put Beast into a trance
But remember how her nose was always in a book,
She received taunts from the one who falsely loved her, Hook...
I wish you had told me sooner
That you would be leaving me
I know you have your duties but
I
Your daughter
Deserved a say in the matter
I watch the news
I see the deaths
Blue reminds me of when I didn't know you, Of when I never heard the words "You arebeautiful"Blue reminds meof when the world was movingBut I was standing still It reminds me of wanting to be alone
Woman
One of two or one of many
Depending on your views
Woman
Not worthy of wealth
Except wealth of home
To the man she calls
To the man she owes
Woman
I’ve lain awake with My Regrets
The things I wish I would have done
Instead of the things I wish I didn’t
Disgusted at what I’ve become
Chances I could have taken
Plans I could have changed
Is she wrong for lusting for love she never knew ?
For the love she knew was nothing but false wishes.
The first time the light crosses the eyes of a new seed. A new breed that breathes the air of the diseased. Fall victum to the wonders of what life would be until actuality falls in between to help you realize how life could be.
Break down young man break down
That’s all the devil tellin’ me to do
Says she’s through with me
Wants nothing to do with me
Askin’ questions like “How could you act so stupidly?”
Moms talkin’ crazy
I knew those rough hands
Welcomed that worn smile
Cherished those gentle eyes
We were best friends forever
You were the reason for romantic fantasies
You were the reason for warm and comforting hugs
You were the reason for constant daydreams
You were the reason for soft kisses and love
You were the reason for kindness
