Poet Introduction
"Life can feel like such a drag but it can also feel like such a relief"
One Thing That Sets Us Apart
Here i stand alone
In the beautiful night sky
Lost in thought
Unable to come back to reality
As i think
I can only think of
One thing that sets us apart
It is not the way we act
It is not the experiences we faced
It not the people we lost
More like the people we love or have loved
Love is ever-going
No matter if the people we love
Are dead or alive
As we see the people
We love die
As we see the birth of a new generation
We learn to love them
We all love different people
But do we love one...

Hidden Rage
Hidden rage
Everyone knowing me
As a nice guy
As a normal person
That person you can tell anything to
Unable to unleash my anger
And hatred
To the world
I keep it bottled in
Growing more and more
Violent
Fearing to show it
Hating to live with it
Dealing with all the hatred
Of this world
With everything i face
Holding my rage inside
Seeing those i love
Leave in front of me
Everyone knowing me
As a nice guy
As a normal person
That person you can tell anything to
Unable to unleash my anger
And hatred
To the world
I keep it bottled in
Growing more and more
Violent
Fearing to show it
Hating to live with it
Dealing with all the hatred
Of this world
With everything i face
Holding my rage inside
Seeing those i love
Leave in front of me

Lost and Damned
Lost the meaning
To live
Damned to walk
This unforgiving world
Searching to find a reason
To know what to do
Lost never to be
Found again
Tired of everything
Damned forever searching for
A hopeless cause
Here only because
Stupid reasons
Wanting to leave
Seeing everyone leave and
Grow to be something else
Cursed to roam this
Evil forsaken world
Losing everything
With every moment
That passes
To live
Damned to walk
This unforgiving world
Searching to find a reason
To know what to do
Lost never to be
Found again
Tired of everything
Damned forever searching for
A hopeless cause
Here only because
Stupid reasons
Wanting to leave
Seeing everyone leave and
Grow to be something else
Cursed to roam this
Evil forsaken world
Losing everything
With every moment
That passes

My other half
Two sides to every coin
Two sides to every story
Good or bad
Heads or tails
Only left with two choices
Not able to choose between
Them
Sitting down
Holding in
My other half
The half that craves
Destruction
Pain
Absolute chaos
Barely able to control myself
Letting him get out
Seeing the hatred he causes
No able to stop it
Scaring my friends
As they walk away
Alone with only my
Other half
As he causes me pain
Agony that hurts me
Two sides to every story
Good or bad
Heads or tails
Only left with two choices
Not able to choose between
Them
Sitting down
Holding in
My other half
The half that craves
Destruction
Pain
Absolute chaos
Barely able to control myself
Letting him get out
Seeing the hatred he causes
No able to stop it
Scaring my friends
As they walk away
Alone with only my
Other half
As he causes me pain
Agony that hurts me

f**k Off
Here i stand alone
Because i want to
I am annoyed
At everyone
Right now
I feel the rage inside me
Take over
Annoyed at the world
And it's problems
looking at the sky
Wishing to die
Not wanting anything else
People try to talk to me
But i tell them fuck off
Pissed at myself ,my family and my friends
No one truly gets me
Enraged to the point of
Killing myself
Why do i exist!
People just in the way
Tired of trying
Tired of living
Tired of hoping
Looking at the sky ...

One Step Closer Two Step Back
A girl
Lost in thought
Thinking of all the things
That trap her
That make her think
She is not good enough
That make her believe
That holding everything inside
Is better then expressing
Her true self
I look at her
Saying hi to her
All she can do is wave
I try to speak to her
But she ignores me
She walks away from me
Chasing her i say wait up
She continues to leave
As i chase her
I slip and fall
She comes back to check on me
But not out of love
But out of kindness
...

No Choice
Here i stand with you
Not knowing
I have to kill you
Looking at your beautiful eyes
Lost in thought
With every moment
I spend here with you
I laugh
I am whole
Not knowing that you
Are changing
Into something you don't
Want to be
Now i am stuck
Seeing you
Attacking
innocent people
You tell me
Please end
My misery
Left choosing
But it seems that i no choose
As i see you kill more people
I walk towards you
I say goodbye
As i kill you
Not knowing
I have to kill you
Looking at your beautiful eyes
Lost in thought
With every moment
I spend here with you
I laugh
I am whole
Not knowing that you
Are changing
Into something you don't
Want to be
Now i am stuck
Seeing you
Attacking
innocent people
You tell me
Please end
My misery
Left choosing
But it seems that i no choose
As i see you kill more people
I walk towards you
I say goodbye
As i kill you

Broken Words
Broken words
Seeing you in pain
Knowing that whatever i do
I can't help
I try and try
But everything i do
Seems to drift away
Looking at you
The agony that you are feeling
I can't help but feel mad frustrated
Pain is the only thing you are feeling
I tell you everything will be alright
But you don't believe me
I want you to be happy
Free from pain
Not knowing
That i could be the reason why you feel this way
The words that come out of my mouth
Are nothing but broken words
Broken...

Immortal
Unable to age
Unable to die
Unable to love
This is the cost of immortality
Living though generations after generations
Seeing the ones you grew up with die
One by one
Funeral after funeral
Unable to die with them
Seeing their families die
Feeling regret
Feeling alone
Seeing the advances of the next generation
Living though
War after war
Knowing there is nothing you can do
Unable to die
Unable to love
This is the cost of immortality
Living though generations after generations
Seeing the ones you grew up with die
One by one
Funeral after funeral
Unable to die with them
Seeing their families die
Feeling regret
Feeling alone
Seeing the advances of the next generation
Living though
War after war
Knowing there is nothing you can do

Death
Once again
Standing in-front of
Death
As my life flash before my eyes
I see memories come and go
I am not afraid to die
Death is looking though my soul
My very being
Seeing my crimes
Against humanity
Seeing who i will leave behind
With a cold and heartless stare
He looks at me
Pointing to where i should go
As he stares towards a vacant room
I can't help but think
It is time
Walking towards the door
Death is watching me
Getting closer and closer
To the brink of death
I open...

Payment
Paying for life
It does not matter
How you pay for it
It matters how you use it
Seeing my friend dying
One by one
Feeling helpless
Seeing no other way
I leave
Trying to find
The devil
Risking everything
To save the ones
I lost
He and i agree
To the terms
For them to come back again
If i sign my soul to him
So they come back
I will forever be trapped
So i can save my friends
I paid the devil my life for theirs
It does not matter
How you pay for it
It matters how you use it
Seeing my friend dying
One by one
Feeling helpless
Seeing no other way
I leave
Trying to find
The devil
Risking everything
To save the ones
I lost
He and i agree
To the terms
For them to come back again
If i sign my soul to him
So they come back
I will forever be trapped
So i can save my friends
I paid the devil my life for theirs

In Between
Two friends that
Have been together
For a long while
I feel that i am in their way
In between them
Stopping them
Seeing them together makes
Me happy but it seems that
They don't see that
I give them advice
But nothing sticks
I listen to one
But the other says something else
Seeing them now confused
I can't help thinking
Did i tear them apart?
Now that they are
Distant from each other
I try to bring them back
But the more i try
The farther they get
Is it me?
Was it my...
