Snow White
Innocence in a sad world,
A white ribbon in a dark cloud of hard bitter red,
White ribbon finding a purpose to keep shining,
Alone and struggling she may not seem,
But that song you hear she's sure not singing,
Friends or foes we sure not know betray her
With a bite of juicy red, pain stains her chest,
She falls down slowly ‘til she's dead.
But maybe when you think all hopes lost,
A wonderful glimmer of hope,
Kisses that poison from her lips,
lets her save what's left of her innocence.
Keeps the red from coming in,
Shows she loved and never has to see
That scarlet hate ever again.

Confessional Thought
I have said many to of though
A thought that I have shown
I have expressed a deal of hate
Even though it was more falsely
Than the sane emotion I feel today
And also have I disliked a great many
And avoided I did so,
But I have come to realize
That I cannot bestow such feelings
To a mother, sister, a brother, a father
A person who feels pain,
Compassion, hurt, like me
Though a person I truly do not know,
But to judge with those selfish thoughts
That prods me to feels so.
So if I will not judge, hate, or dislike
Learn to love everyone,
Wouldn't this world
be at least,
Be a little happier in the end?

Zombie
I did try to fight you
But control over powers my will
I did try to hate you
But your face clouds my feelings
I did try to block you out
But you forced your way inside
I did try barcade your game
But your play kept climbing in
I did let you hurt me but never again
enjoying every minute
All my hurt was a grin
at every twist you twisted me
Emotions spinning on
There's no love
So you thirst my heart
Grabbed me
You devoured me
Now I'm nothing left
but more innocence to shed
More love to taste and nowhere to hide

Nunn of none
Nunn of none
Smiles sweet
With a wink
A saint in all her glory
With greedy eyes
She knows the book very well
A holey pleasure; the game of glee
On and on it seems
What is right with her
And wrong with me,
A dueling twisted song
A smile, but only I can see
The cold glint that's shining in her teeth
The smile that I dread,
I am powerless, possessed
I'm the broken pawn in her big game of chess
But she could not dirty her dainty feet
All problems were all meant for me
But why should I listen,
To the projection

Beauty and the Beast
You are the twinkle of my eye but the restraints to my conscience,
Hear my plea, hear my longing,
You are the love in my heart but the weariness in my soul,
Hear my love, through the silence,
You're the star of my dreams which is looking more like a nightmare,
Erase my tears from inside,
You're the positivity to my life but the negativity in my mind.
Shine your light, console my fears,
You're my voice that's singing, but my bodies dying,
Rest my heart, heal my pain.
I found home when I found you,
Let me tell you, let me love you,
You're the freedom of my love but the prison of my expression,
Let me go, let me know,
Let me see beauty that hides behind the beast.
If only you knew the message in a single rose, you may help the curse that killing me.

The Hunt within
I,
Smile, to my audience
Bow before my pain.
Sing the song of loneliness
mask it with a laugh in vain.
If only you could see; this pain does not have to be.
The hands I feel grasp my chest,
The piercing screams inside,
I know that I'm just prey walking in the hunters grasp, asking for the pain.
But although I feel my strain I know it is not in vain,
So I,
Smile, to my audience
Bow before my pain.
Sing the song of loneliness
Mask it with a laugh in vain.
I feel myself slipping, evil greed poisoning the good; maybe I'm just blind.
I'm the hunter in the dark
