What happened to faith and honor
What happened to our morals
The fake faces are looked up to
While the great go unnoticed
The famous are counterfeit
While the praiseworthy are ignored
You think you’re all that
You’re as real as can be
Have you changed your style
Out of screaming envy?
Have you had second thoughts
Because of someone else’s opinion?
I’d never change my mind
Your upraised so high, and I am so low
I upraise you so high, each and every day
Each night I lower you down, like a show
We complete this task, even in the gray
I wake just to hear
my parents argue back and forth in fear.
I didn't know what was going on.
As I listen, they yell at my sister...
every denial from her made my dad angrier.
HOOK:
All but one that can make this complete, All but one that can solve this mystery.
VERSE:
The one piece I'm looking for it might be happiness, love, or maybe trust.
HOOK:
Obama wants a change. To have to world rearranged. Let's do this right. We can change during the day or night. We can change a person's life.
VERSE:
We can do this.
I woke up with the thought of you,
When it asked me when you'll return,
I smiled and said but were through,
It said well tell him to make a u-turn,
I told you he doesn't want anything to do with you,
Cognitively
Not where I should be
Feelin' crazy
Not lookin' like me
Mental pictures
Leavin' me unsure
Disturbing thoughts
Have gotten me caught
You do not have to shimmer to be gold
Look at Frida Kahlo, in all of her glory
People look at her, unibrow and all
And she is well known and liked
She didn't pluck, wax, or tweeze
It doesn't make sense,
how someone so young,
Would hate themselves so much
And feel so unloved.
We pay respect to the dead,
But why not to the living?
Why do we only care,
Staring in the Face of Regret by Averey Respall
Sitting, Waiting, Procrastinating.
Later, After, Then.
This is it.
It's now or never.
Tick-Tock-Tick-Tock
A glimpse at the clock
Someday we shall meet and everything will fall in place,
without the any notice and your arrival and be unexpected,
when I have fallen you will be there to help me back up,
What is life?
Living in a country where freedom is the key
Yet, being told what to do till you die
Being expected to be perfect
Being expected to become rich
Yet, you get critizied by the color of you skin
When The world moves Eyes Bloom Hearts fusee Some want to be the wife And some the groom But it only matters on how you act in the living room And who makes it to the grave tomb But thats what is called the Big Boom When the world collapsed and l
I just want someone who will be simply content by my side. Someone smart and funny. Who will be happy having me, flaws and all.
Black darkness.
1:34 a.m.
Thinking of you: Good morning.
I miss you.
But then
I remembger you have embarked on a journey
that I am no longer part of.
But still -
Good morning.
You live to be loved,
but what is there to love
when so many are
wanting to survive
and do not have
the heart to stop
and think - if they were
to love, it'd be okay,
It'd be okay.
I remember how much it hurt,
I recall the betral,
I can still feel the pain.
The hurt of your smiles, smiling
as if everything's the same.
I saw it coming,
I just never got around
They come and go,
as they always do.
Some linger
longer than others.
And yet others
still are
oblivious.
But who can blame
human nature?
Stay detached.
As I try to grasp upon this
abstract feeling within me,
"butterflies" as they call it,
bewildered by the tension
pressuring my cells running through me,
pumping wildly and surging
through my veins,
Lost of air...
that's the feeling.
Loss of heart, and
the loss of care.
It's the loss of the part
you used to hold,
the loss of the feelings
you thought you had shared,
It was 'mutual'.
You fill my veins
with poison, you
drive my mind insane,
It's you who leave me
unwanted, my soul
so filled with pain.
I try to walk away, forget you,
I try to never look backm
I didn't mean to fall in love,
like how you didn't mean to
say goodbye,
Like how you didn't mean to find another,
another perhaps better than I.
I didn't mean to fall in love,
love
love is a distinguished feeling
a true feeling it can be imagined
but better when experienced
love is pure love is kind
love is found in the deepest barriers
love is unexpected love is bright
I am the secret adventures through the woods.I am the distant sounds of singing.I am the late night games of tag with childhood friends.I am the voices intertwining to become one song.
What is Love?
Is it fair?
When one loves someone,
yet the other doesn't care.
Is love a war?
Is love a fight?
Is love worth all those sleepless nights?
Can't you see words hurt?
Does it make you feel better?
When you say hateful things,
Or put others down for your comfort.
Others have feelings too,
times where we want to be done.
You know the feeling...
The one where you swear you could fly when you're around that one person
yes that one of course....love
it is painful yet we seem to go through that pain again and again
why?
When I was five I was asked Roberto, what do you want to be?
What do you see your self being when you're older?
I don't wanna go no where
I just want to stay right here
feel the love is this room
and only feel it with you
se your smile so bright
and the glow in your eyes
I see my forever
A religion based on the belief that god exists in writing, pouring your life onto paper to recieve enlightenment to a place so inviting.
My dream is my job
Where I get to travel and creat and invent
Oh, no, no ,no, child
They say
No, you must get a job that makes money
Singers make money
And they do what I love
A sad girl
Who's been heartbroken
and left to soak in
her own tears.
Left to drown without any support
in her own fears.
i look back and see the pain you brought me i must forgive you in order to move on. just another chapter in my life that beginning with a brighter start. we learn to forget only if we forgive.
What do you do when you have lost someone who has always been there? How do you deal?
Used like a toy for laughs,
abused till' the brain stews,
left as an abandoned child.
Why do this to me dear?
At First is was all smiles and Hi's
Shy looks away
Trying not to get caught looking anyway
Confusion, fear of rejection
I’ve never felt like this before, though
So how do I know how I feel?
Life is unfair
The adults all preach it
But it takes so long for you to believe it
You ride the waves
Until the board breaks
Every night I lie awake,
Unable to go to rest.
Every night I make choices,
Choices that change my life forever.
Every night I think of my mistakes,
Banging machinery and grinding gears
You find yourself among your peers
Foreign yelling fills the air
Absolutely unaware
Of what this place has in store
