Lava

"Hurt me with truth, but never comfort me with lies"

I like the night life
Scratch that I live for the night life
I love how cities come alive and people come together
Dead streets engrossed by affects of spirits
Bring to life souls en-caged by bodies
When you're alone you find freedom
Through sleep escaping to another world
Whether it be euphoria through madness 
Or tragedy in romanticizing reality
Fleeing from present moments and what they exude
The reality of what may gnaws away at your entity

Night life
Tormenting in the form of insomnia
As lava, taunting you to seep over the edge
Trickling careless as if its consequences were 
As lightning, passing in a moment, simply a flash
The line that's drawn between insanity and mediocracy 
Fading as I grab my jacket, you grab my hand 
No looks back we are carefree
Into the night, we'll be alright

"We put our glass to the sky and lift up
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya
So raise a pint for the people that aren't with us
And live tonight 'cause you can't take it with ya"


*Macklemore, Irish

Bully

Bullying something I completely despise.

It has been my motive and goal in life to befriend those who aren't as popular.

Putting it plainly I'd rather not see myself in the popular group.

Everyone who is close to me knows that I cannot stand bullying.

Sadly, I have taken a joke too far

Invested too many minutes in a painful moment

Wake me up.

I thought I'd never face this again in my life.

God wasn't once enough?

A figure who was supposed to protect me

Stood in complete silence as I was torn down.

I was being bullied.

I've endured bullying before.

However, there has always been someone standing behind me.

Or it was 'just so' that I did not care.

Perhaps it was all in jest, yet went slightly too far.

This time was different.

I was being ganged up on by two adults.

All the while my guardian stood there.

Removed from the situation, silent.

I will be my own voice.

You are now out of my life.

Between me and you it will never be the same.

You've lost me. You're so far gone.

Ancient

The sound of loneliness makes me happier
i see you across the room and your aura is deafening
you catch my glance we have a quick romance
this is the last of what was never us
God, teach me to trust
with each gust you remove the lust
i am crazed
God,
terrified to fall off this edge i'm standing on
you said you'd stay can't even see, where'd you go


******quite old, but wanted to post it*******

Tremble

why do we speak of love and such when all it really brings is pain.
why do we say so much when all it does is crowd the brain
why does the sky have to rain when the flood already came
why would you choose to leave instead of change
why are good memories hard to find, when darkness flashes time and time again
why can we choose to ignore God's perfect grace

why do we speak of love as if it brings all the joy through pain
why does love get so much importance when all it ever brings is pain
why is love a hypocrite advertising vibrancy and youth
why does love lust, making us lose our trust
why does love silences lips and create broken eyes
love fears the future
love trembles at touch
love touches then trembles
love lies 

why has love been taught so wrong that i can believe this song
why has love been taught so wrong that this can even be a song
why has love been taught so wrong that this is now a song

love has got to change

Unscathed

Lines invisibly cross
As your voice fades
Echoing words, daggers
Space. vaster than oceans
Only an arms length away
Coldness sparks emptiness
Mind numb to touch
A haven found in separation
Ability to roam, freedom
Unscathed by familiar chains
------------------------------------------------------------
Used to be:
A high felt like heaven
Euphoria in the gashes
Grasping onto the weakness
Dazed in motion
Bound to unrelatable moments
Loving every corrupt painful wince
God, those moments were my existence

And now:
Gashes a disgrace shaming my arm
Chest tight inability to breathe
Shaking, endlessly, uncontrollably
Questioning when it shall end
God, make it end
Words? Absolutely pointless
Pain in eyes, once again my doing
Aura of sadness, concern
God, make me new.
