Triumphs on a mountaintop
Autumn leave and funny T-shirts

The squeak of new shoes

Fine things, good things

Til one falls, shooting fire.
Seeing this must then teach
The law of desire

A renegade from traditions forgotten,
Holding on to values from the past,

A reason to hold,
A reason to love...
Let me hold you in my arms tonight,
Showing you that I can see the beauty through the beast,
Who can you tell
Who can you trust
In a world full of emptiness and lust
Will they ever love you
Will they ever understand
Coming from a world with no helping hand
How can they see
One too many times, I swallowed away the pain
While all the time, you were buying my love
and I am still overdosing, choking on you endlessly

the redness in her eyes
they never even noticed
the signs that everyday she cried

The decisions she's made lurk behind her like a predator and it's preyShe's never known where she belongedShe's never known what to sayHer voice weak in the crowdsShe cannot speakShe cannot be heard
A girl that runs away from her fears
She is not weak
She is alone
Walking this earth with no hand to hold
She stares up at the stars and the moon
The beginning is long gone and the end is near
Running with no doubts in her mind but she still runs with fear
With her heart in her left hand and her mind in the other
If you looked me in the eyes And stared for a while You could see my story
The pain The suffering The love The anguish The heartache
My dream job?
I want to be a fighter.
I want to do something meaningful, stand up for something worth fighting for.

And who would believe what had been done to her

A beguilement of assorted grace

I started writing music when I was eleven.
First thing I wrote about,was the man up in heaven.

I always thought somebody was going to hit me with the three striker.
I am a writer,
poetry is my soul:
I am a writer,
poetry came to me on its own.
I am a DREAMer,
my writing is my voice;
I am a DREAMer,
poetry runs my thoughts.
Why you? The one i adore. Why you? The one with a high score. Why you? Who seem so real. Why you? The one whos skin always peel. Why you? Who makes my blood boil. Why you? Who's mind is soiled. Why you? Who sweeps my mind. Why you?

And you’ve knocked me to my knees..
Burning like hells fire,
You’re persistent and tenacious and you never tire.

Your laugh is fake.
Everything is fake, fake, fake.
You’re not happy.
You settled for less.

death has no hold
on the love i possess,

Taunting me from your fingertips
Just the knowledge that it’s there
Is enough to put me on edge
You laugh as I slip it from your hand
Knowing I just let you lure me in
I’m not really sure who I am.
There so much about me that is still unknown.
So to stand there and say you understand me,
I know you couldn’t be more wrong.
I don’t understand you,
