Black Wings
Life would be much easier
If we were all angels-
No, not angels
that falls too close to religion
And I don't care for that
How about if we were harpies
Some mythical, winged creatures
Your true colors
Would be displayed
Open on your wings
For everyone to see
Some would be yellows
and blues, greens and reds
Fluttering brightly
They were the good ones
But me and my friends
With our crippled limbs
Would sit quietly
Numbly thinking of things
Living in shame
of our black wings
If we were all angels-
No, not angels
that falls too close to religion
And I don't care for that
How about if we were harpies
Some mythical, winged creatures
Your true colors
Would be displayed
Open on your wings
For everyone to see
Some would be yellows
and blues, greens and reds
Fluttering brightly
They were the good ones
But me and my friends
With our crippled limbs
Would sit quietly
Numbly thinking of things
Living in shame
of our black wings

If you lead me on
Am I a thing of beauty?
It's possible, but you
you dont take a second glance at me
Do you think I'm pretty?
Please just tell me if you do
I feel so ugly
Im covered in bruises, spider bites
But can I still be pretty?
Friends have a most likely answers:
yes
But you would give something crazy like:
guess
If I'm beautiful, let me know
respectfully
If Im hideous, let me know
gently
If you do just this,
I thank you
But if you lead me on
well fuck you
It's possible, but you
you dont take a second glance at me
Do you think I'm pretty?
Please just tell me if you do
I feel so ugly
Im covered in bruises, spider bites
But can I still be pretty?
Friends have a most likely answers:

Revolution
We need a revolution
something to bind us together
The American Revolution did that
But we weren't there to remember
We need to have a cause
something to fight for
These people aren't even trying
anymore
something to bind us together
The American Revolution did that
But we weren't there to remember
We need to have a cause
something to fight for
These people aren't even trying
anymore

Years Ago
Do that
then this
Do what you're told
Little Miss
I'm not a child
Despite my age
Numbers cant mask
My obvious rage
You won't understand
with your closed mind
I can see the world
But, to it, you are blind
Homophobic,
gay is an unspoken word
Stereotypical,
their stories are left unheard
Your ignorance infuriates me
I guess you'll never know
Because you've stopped listening
years and years ago
then this
Do what you're told
Little Miss
I'm not a child
Despite my age
Numbers cant mask
My obvious rage
You won't understand
with your closed mind
I can see the world
But, to it, you are blind
Homophobic,
gay is an unspoken word
Stereotypical,
their stories are left unheard
Your ignorance infuriates me
I guess you'll never know
Because you've stopped listening
years and years ago

All I Hear is Sounds
House has been invaded
Privacy penetrated
24/7 pain frustration
endless hopeless suffocation
Against my will
you take my hopes, dreams
My life is deteriorating
at the seams
My 'guardians', 'protectors'
do nothing at all
They say that they care
and try to stand tall
It doesn't do any good
for you to yell
It makes me hate you if say
im going to hell
All I hear is sounds
Traveling through my ears
All I know is
that they cause my tears
Privacy penetrated
24/7 pain frustration
endless hopeless suffocation
Against my will
you take my hopes, dreams
My life is deteriorating
at the seams
My 'guardians', 'protectors'
do nothing at all
They say that they care
and try to stand tall
It doesn't do any good
for you to yell
It makes me hate you if say
im going to hell
All I hear is sounds
Traveling through my ears
All I know is
that they cause my tears

By My Side
Would I be another statistic,
if I commit suicide?
If I went ballistic,
Would you still be by my side?
Im crazy, a lunatic
I'd go with you and hide
It would be terrific
If within you I can confide
We would be like sisters
Closer than ones that are blood
We can leave them behind
Scrape off all their mud
They threw at you and me
I guess it doesn't matter
Because soon we will be free
if I commit suicide?
If I went ballistic,
Would you still be by my side?
Im crazy, a lunatic
I'd go with you and hide

We would be like sisters
Closer than ones that are blood
We can leave them behind
Scrape off all their mud
They threw at you and me
I guess it doesn't matter

Sun and the Moon
Im the sun and you're the moon
you think that's a compliment?
I shine the brightest
and at the end of the day
you only shine because of me
You steal my light
make yourself seem radiant
its all an illusion
and after a while,
everyone knows
that you shine bright
because of
what you steal
from me
you think that's a compliment?
I shine the brightest
and at the end of the day
you only shine because of me
You steal my light
make yourself seem radiant
its all an illusion
and after a while,
everyone knows
that you shine bright
because of
what you steal
from me

Good Luck with Life
Negative but bright
When you put me in the dark
I'll always find the light
Find your army
and I'll gather mine
Find my allies
and march in a line
Hundreds to few
I know that finally
I'll annihilate you
So many hate you
did you know?
I sure did
I think you should go
You'd hate to see that
Im obviously thrilled
Of all my numbers
those who'd love to see you killed
I guess you could be a prostitute
hey, at least you're qualified
If I told people this
It'd never be denied
Good luck with life...

please stop
This has been like a diary
With anonymous compliments
or criticism for me
Anonymity is fine for comments
but you know me
You take in my private thoughts
Suffocation
Nauseating
My mind is penetrated
and you leave your comments
things better left unsaid
have been spoken
crawling under my skin
let the uncomfort begin
Please stop reading
you know who you are
boundaries are broken
please stop
im sick
the poems are private
anonymous at least
you make posting unbearable
stop reading this please

If I ever would
Don't leave me alone
they'll eat me alive
Without you
I cannot thrive
They feed on my joy
and leave me with grief
only with you
could I find some relief
Forget my problems
Let them drift away
They can leave
But you can stay
They return for revenge
so I try harder
I'll die for the cause
become a martyr
Then, at least,
I would do some good
Without this,
I dont know If I ever would
they'll eat me alive
Without you
I cannot thrive
They feed on my joy
and leave me with grief
only with you
could I find some relief
Forget my problems
Let them drift away
They can leave
But you can stay
They return for revenge
so I try harder
I'll die for the cause
become a martyr

I would do some good

Gravity and You
Gravity and you
guess the correlation
You both pull me down
won't let me fly
At least with you,
I can make it change
Though in my efforts,
you'll think I'm deranged
I guess we'll have to live with it
I don't mind
But I bet you will,
when you're left behind
guess the correlation
You both pull me down
won't let me fly
At least with you,
I can make it change
Though in my efforts,
you'll think I'm deranged
I guess we'll have to live with it
I don't mind
But I bet you will,
when you're left behind

Corruption
Greed in everyone
lies told by them
secrets never kept
and corruption is inevitable
who am I kidding?
It's already set in
lies told by them
secrets never kept
and corruption is inevitable
who am I kidding?
It's already set in
