How Easy It Is
How easy it is to forget what's true when you feel the falsehood
The truth should expose it, it should
And yet you wallow, knowing what you really cannot escape
Is what is true, is light, there is no darkness it's fake
It's a fabrication
A child of your depression
How easy it is to forget thousands of years of truth
When faced with ten seconds of hurt and of feeling
You believe there is no hope, and no healing
When the solution has always been there for you right inside
The inside, which you claim is darkness, it's really pure light
And not for no reason, but for love.
How easy it is to forget the greatest love midst the cheapest sorrow
Please forgive me for this folly for I am a fool
Simply because it's easier.

Words of an open book
Its been long enough
over the years my spine has grown tough
pages fading wishing they would go away
wishing i would be closed for just a day
i am tired of being so open with my feelings for all
anyone able to read me...or cause me to fall
its ridiculous can't you see?
being this open is killing me
i no longer want to be seen by every passer-by
i don't want everyone to read my
life after just one glance
can I read nothing more?
why am i so open?
but now everyone knows
everyone should not know everything about me i protest!
but its no use
there is no trick, nothing no abuse
that can take this way no way to close myself
I remain open to the world
as they tear out my pages and break all i have left

I Miss You So Much
I miss you
i just wish you would come back to
me that i could just see you one more time
that i could just sing you one more rhyme
that i could just talk to once more
that my heart wouldn't be so sore
why have you forsaken me so
we could take things slow
just come back
i miss you so much don't force me to pack
my things and come after you
i can only wish that you miss me too
that this isn't only one sided
but even if it is i just want you back
i dont want us to be divided
ill be with your friend, lover, or boyfriend whichever you lack
no matter what i am to you i miss you and i need you once more
please come back i miss you so get this message let my heart soar
and be with me one more time for the rest of time

Till I forget
Just friends.....? Such a proposition is so absurd
one of the strongest phrases i have ever heard
simply give up on love?
do you expect me to strangle my precious dove?
do you expect me to eradicate all my feelings past?
I can't do this fast
I can't do it slow
I can't sit here and say no
I don't feel this way about you
I cannot bring myself to say such a thing
do not ask me to forget the way i feel
or these wounds will never heal
how can it be wrong to profess
my love for you, how can it be a crime to confess...
everything i feel
to you
i long for someone to share with
and I've found her
but now i must share with with feelings that i must defer
I cannot forget, I will feel like this... feel this... alw....

The Chronicles of A New Day part 10 The End
Cold.... so cold...
so far I've just been getting old
more years.. thats all more years
more tears...
so cold... frozen.. over.. its over.. no more...
I haver become what i write... something to abhor
no longer a new day not now
no one can know how
how did it get this far?
i ve lost more then 7 and a star
its the end there is no new day
no where to run away
not today
no where to go ive become a fey
person what is there to inveigh
about when ive lost almost all, this is my fault i am to blame
i carry the shame
this is the end of a new day
i missed my chance it has flown away
today...

My Idea Of A Good Day
There will be no sleep
The pains of hunger
The searing burn of thirst
Discomfort
But not discontentment
A feeling of loneliness amongst the overwhelming presence
A feeling of depression amidst the joy
A feeling of chaos amidst the peace
A feeling of confusion amidst the wisdom
A feeling of dejection amidst the love
There will be success
The delights of a feast
The coolness of an iced drink
Contentment
Complacency
A feeling of completion amidst inner brokenness
A feeling of happiness amidst inner death
A feeling of peacefulness amidst inner turmoil
A feeling of wisdom amidst inner misunderstanding

Happy Poem
This poem is wrote happily
can't you tell by the suffering and pain imparted on me?
=) come on i look happy right
with the noose drawn up so tight
as i strain to smile can't u see my joy
as i realize i have been used by the world like a toy
well its time to stop playing around, and the world having its fill
but give me the chance turn your back fey world and i will kill
kill you and destroy you for playing around with me
no more messing around this is serious i won't be happy i won't do what I'm told get out shotguns send out the S.W.A.T. teams and make me see what happens
u may think torturing me is filling
but when guns blaze and bombs go off you watch who is doing the killing! .
am i not the happiest one who lives in you world?

More Reality
look over the shade
look no more accolades
no more its about over
its about time to step out of the rover
we aint on the moon
this is no cartoon
this is real
the read deal
lets see if you take it
maybe someone has their own tree
and its not me
heh wow this hasnt happened yet
and yet it has and now my mind is wet
with thoughts of how
why and why i want some chow
i guess this work makes me hungry
for knowledge of those big questions
hmmm how fey
no reason to inveigh
ok this never happened forget it already.....

The Chornicles of a Dark Heart Part 15 The Invisible Person
The only thing you can see
is but a part of me
you need to do more more. then just care
you say i can see you, i know you, but dont you dare
don't lie, you don't know anything
without your stars i can't sing
so now I'll stay in my world and you stay in yours
this apathy, no one can see me its eating at my core
This is worse, the darkness worse then acid someone help
I would rather eat my heart seasoned with fresh kelp
Someone save me, o wait you cant see me at all.....
I'll yell and scream, but no answer not even when i cant stand tall
cant stand tall when this happens soon i wont stand at all
I've become invisible, fair lady please see
see me see see me! please see me my dear please through the sea
just see me please help me my dear...

Those Face Passing by Now
I look out the window outside
And soon this reality begins to melt away
it seems in this darkness i cant hide
almost like there is no where to go no day
no time to say ok no breath to say im ok
i see those pictures flashing by
i seem to know that i did not just die
im here
just it seems like there is fear everywhere
the picture soon gets colors
they are people its her and that guy they are together
all those memories those wounds make it stop
i cant take this i want to jump off a rooftop
no roofs here ah where is this my walls
its like advanced darkness im the one who falls
heh dont worry im here....but where is here dont worry.....
no shared scars ahhhhh i had better hurry
this is darkness yet i can see
and in here there is only me
