Defenders Like Me
I don't dump my problems on people,
People dump their problems on me.
I am a pillar of strength,
Holding up friends and family.
But all this stress,
And people leaning on me.
Has got me broken down,
And feeling so freakin empty.
My body's strong,
Built to last.
But they keep coming,
Coming to me.
My world is heavy,
My back is aching,
My body shaking,
My knees breaking,
So i stop to think,
If the world would see.
If the didn't spew their hate,
There would be no need for defenders like me.
People dump their problems on me.
I am a pillar of strength,
Holding up friends and family.
But all this stress,
And people leaning on me.
Has got me broken down,
And feeling so freakin empty.
My body's strong,
Built to last.
But they keep coming,
Coming to me.
My world is heavy,
My back is aching,
My body shaking,
My knees breaking,
So i stop to think,
If the world would see.
If the didn't spew their hate,
There would be no need for defenders like me.

My brother and I
My brother and I,
We both have wings.
Yet so different,
Are these two beings.
His shadow feathers,
Mine pearly white.
I fly during the day,
He soars at night.
Like night and day,
Sun to moon.
Opposing each other,
With our warring ways.
I fall,
He comes to protect my blind side.
We fight,
On raging battle fields side by side.
Despite difference,
Were brothers.
apart were nothing,
together we fly.
this is a tribute to my brother. no matter the problem ive got your back josh.
We both have wings.

the blood does call
it starts from the bottom,
and works its way up.
it starts with the blood,
and it never ends.
have you ever felt the call,
the want to be better.
the subtle sounds of the warrior,
only to stumble, not to fall.
the feel of the steel,
the beat of the drum,
the sound of the horseman,
the sting of the rum.
i am not like you,
the blood calls to me.
the need to fight,
and be in conflicts that bleed.
the blood calls to me,
i have the warriors heart.

Her Dark Angel
I tell her I'm no one,
Just a forgotten Soul.
She says,"no your mine to own",
"Your mine alone".
She touches my back,
plays with my wings.
Toys with midnight black feathers,
She awakens a lust so tempting.
Battled-scarred body,
Wounds from long ago.
she looks in wonder,
asking and wanting to know.
she whispers of love,
and how she wont judge.
but this angel wont,
and with time, will never budge.
i get up to leave,
she whispers don't go.
i spread my wings to fly,
but with...
Just a forgotten Soul.

So long ago
It was so long ago,
But in thought I have been.
A day in memory,
Of fate just so mean.
i lost my friend,
on that day.
the day a bullet,
sprayed me with his brain.
He saved my life,
So long ago.
he was strong and brave,
and a friend i cry for to this day.
So long ago,
if feels like yesterday you know.
but for him i live,
for him i give.
till the day i see him once again,
just not yet.
but i guess till then,
i will live, live for him...

Unshakeable
You stand their self righteous and proud,
And with my failures you have me crowned.
To break my spirit is your goal,
Despite me trying I lose my hold.
You beat my body,
You destroy my mind.
But i will heal,
in due time.
You stand their tall self righteous and proud,
But now I fight back,and hold my ground.
To break my spirit is your goal,
Now stronger I am I hold my own.
You beat my body,destroy my mind,
And I'll get back up, in due time.
The pain I feel,
Will always fade.
The abuse you dealt me, ...
And with my failures you have me crowned.
To break my spirit is your goal,
Despite me trying I lose my hold.
You beat my body,
You destroy my mind.
But i will heal,
in due time.
You stand their tall self righteous and proud,
But now I fight back,and hold my ground.
To break my spirit is your goal,
Now stronger I am I hold my own.
You beat my body,destroy my mind,
And I'll get back up, in due time.
The pain I feel,
Will always fade.

Intoxicating
Intoxicating,
that was her smell.
Soft and lush,
That's how she felt.
Her lips against mine,
I wanted more.
So basic the desire,
so basic the need,
so basic the want,
and it was all Primeval,
Primeval lust,
Her smell intoxicating,
her skin soft and lush,
her body so warm,
warm to the touch.
that was her smell.
Soft and lush,

Blind to me
I know what you want,
I know what you need.
You want to loved,
You need to be seen.
Your always alone,
You think nobody sees.
Unaware that your silent prayers,
Your hopes, your dreams.
Can all be answered,
Is you see me.
I know what you want,
My love is yours.
I know what you need,
And I've always seen.
But cold reality,
The truth of it all.
Your blind to see,
Your blind to me.
I know what you need.
You want to loved,
You need to be seen.
Your always alone,
You think nobody sees.
Unaware that your silent prayers,
Your hopes, your dreams.
Can all be answered,
Is you see me.
I know what you want,
My love is yours.
I know what you need,
And I've always seen.
But cold reality,
The truth of it all.
Your blind to see,
Your blind to me.

Strong and weak
I want you to hit me,
come on I dare you,
I want you to kick me,
I want you to spit,curse,and rage at me,
for I know I can take you and all of the physical abuse,
I can even take you knowing I'm being used.
my body is strong, meant for the physical pain,
so stab me,shoot me, hurt me, and I will still be standing.
My greatest strength is my most devastating weakness,
my heart is caring,meek, and timid to speak,
It will crumble at a rough touch,
tis why it's as scarred as my body.
so try my body if you dare,
or hurt my...
