Flower Power"Flower Power"

Speak to me, my little flower
Dancing in the breeze
With your frail and fragile stem
You are braver than the trees
Bend for me, my faithful flower
Bend yourself at your knees
With your keen and natural instincts
You will survive the looming bees

Spread your petals as wide as you can
As your pollen starts to blow
To the oceans and their sands
And as far as they can go
Pollinate the others
With your warm and loving scent
Never fear the storm that's near
For I will circumvent

Live for me, my precious flower
I'll cover you from snow
With my rugged, worn-down hands
I will help you grow
Cry for me, my wounded flo
Noble Chivalry"Noble Chivalry"

I see her aesthetic reflection in every mirror
With the passing days the closer the attraction grows nearer
And yet with every word and every kindly letter
I always believe she deserves so much better
Why is there an attraction to the mess that is me?
Perhaps there are waters that run deeper than I can see
I resemble a fine-tuned piano without the keys
Or maybe a rusted violin without the strings
And while I always appear to be shredding at the seams
None of this matters in her mind apparently
I resemble a beautifully wrapped gift without the bow
Or perhaps a kiss between lovers without the mistletoe
And alth
Stroke"Stroke"

I feel so numb; so far away
What happened to my arms and legs?
I can't hear noise; did I speak?
Why are muscles growing weak?

I'm losing balance; I've fallen down
The room is spinning round and round
Like tracing lines that have no end
I've tried but fallen down again

No one can hear me on the floor
Screaming into rooms next door
Hearing voices inside of me
They scream for help so silently

I blacked out but couldn't tell
Where's my heart or body cells
Waking up near cold white beds
Tears from eyes soon start to shed

What just happened?; I wonder why
Why people soon did cry
I think my mother finally spoke
"Oh Dear
Love Is Blind"Love Is Blind"

He was a world renown artist
He could play the violin
He could tell you any song
Before it would begin
He could speak many languages
So fluent off his tongue
He always kept his house clean
Before spring had even sprung
He traveled many countries
An intellectual he was
He would tinker with his watches
For reasons just because
He was a classy gentleman
So spiritual and divine
The only dilemma here
Was that he was blind
He had never seen the colors
Or the faces passing by
But you would never know this
Because he'd look you in the eye
And smile as wide as he could
A happy man he was
Still he hurt inside
Your Only Son"Your Only Son"

I know I can never be someone who I'm not
But I hope I don't become someone you forgot
And all the years that pass; and all the years that fade
Please God will you make this pain go away?

My head is seeing colors; my eyes are seeing lines
I force myself to tell people I am always fine
Because if they took a journey deep inside my mind
They'd run away in fear; they would cower and hide

Why is it that I do the things I know?
Those ideas of self-abuse are ones I can't outgrow
And all the cuts and scars; all the knives and blades
Resemble all the failures resting in my name

I don't even understand the way I always th
Water Bomb"Water Bomb"

Everyday my little boat
Becomes filled with more and more water
My shoes are starting to get soaked
Like lambs unaware in the slaughter
There seems to be some kind of hole
Just big enough for water to get through
The hole isn't big by any means
But I don't know what to do
And everyday my little boat
Sinks deeper and deeper in the sea
I can't rewrite the script I wrote
I can't undo what is to be
The hole now becoming cracks
I tried to plug with paint and clay
With barrels full of whole grain sacks
But even still the boat decayed
And I just can't stop this water
From seeping in little by little
Every damn crack a
Truth?"Truth?"

Truth has become reality's biggest nightmare
Which always becomes buried by those in despair
For is it more noble to bite one's tongue until it turns red
Or let truth accumulate until his heart pumps out dread?
My intuition has led me to the truth many times before
Of which I have realized truth is not the cure
But what is the truth when every character has a story
Upon which each owner desires to claim truth's glory?
For it is comforting for those to retreat from their fears
Or deny truth exists and mask it with cheers
What ignorant mortals for them I take sorrow
For truth will target and haunt them tomorrow
As for myse
Take My Hand"Take My Hand"

Please take my hand
And look me in the eyes
Make me understand
That I wasn't born to die
Don't say those last words
Please don't say its time
I can not concur
Its not time to say goodbye
I feel broken and alone
On many, many nights
But you make me feel at home
Like the stars in the sky
I've watched the world change
I've seen people come and go
Longing to stay the same
But this is never so
Just when things are stable
And at least one step I can take
That's when the cables
Yet again always break
So don't make me sad
Let's run away and hide
And no matter how bad
Together we can cry
Don't bring me down
Chorus Of Confliction"Chorus Of Confliction"

He threw her in a metal chair
Handcuffed wrists; pulled back hair
Stripping her almost completely bare
She wasn't going anywhere
What perfect timing as of now
For their parents had been out of town
What a way for siblings to behave
He had prepared for her an unmarked grave
This time she was going to hear him out
Annoyed by her pleas and pouts
He placed the tape onto her mouth
Her pleas now just muffled shouts
He had told her she had better stop
He warned her like a constant clock
She liked to rain on his parade
Turning nights into darkened shades
He knew he had to do this to her
Still he couldn't b
Dream Eater"Dream Eater"

Why can't I awake this time?
I keep watching someone die every night
I can't even tell if I am alive
Have I finally lost what's left of my mind?

I can feel something envelop me
Breaking my skin; I'm letting it free
But looking at my reflection this time
The face looking back isn't mine!

I find its getting harder to relate
I keep watching someone make the same mistakes
I feel like any moment I will break
Watching scenes that seem so fake

Like a broken record spinning in circles
I can't seem to get over these hurdles
But the scenes I'm watching; I'm not to blame
This really is a sadistic game

I'm trapped in a nev
Humiliation"Humiliation"

If I exist to teach a lesson
Then that lesson is to overcome
Any hardship or desire
Always fight; never run
Never give in to others
Or let them think that they won
We are all capable of strength
We will never be outdone
If I exist to show you how
Listen to what I have to say
Always do the best you can
And one day you'll find your way
Some exist to show us reasons
Why things are the way they are
And though their time may be short
They'll help us uncover scars
Everyone has a purpose
Even if you don't know it yet
Your existence affects others
There are those I won't forget
No matter how real the pain
Or how s
Playground"Playground"

Old sand lots and teeter tots
Throwing rocks in a hop skotch box
Chasing girls and acting cool
This was recess during school

Climbing up those giant slides
Looking down a mile high
Protecting yourself as you slid
From cruel kids who often hid

Swing sets were my favorite part
Flying where the ground departs
To see who jumped the farthest still
Boys would love to show off skill

Dribbling balls and ankle races
Throwing discs and running races
Playing cards and making noise
Girls talked about the cutest boys

Sharing snacks and soda pop
Proud to have a new lunch box
Playing tag and hide and seek
Scaring friends t
Reminds Me Of You"Reminds Me Of You"

A beautiful sunset
Over a moonlit city
Let us not forget
You are more than pretty

Holding each other
Mistletoe above
We depend on one another
The magic of love

Carnival rides
Below starry night skies
Light up your eyes
The best looking prize

A first-place medal
Watching pandas on ice
To me there are several
Ways you are nice

Healthy sunflowers
A box full of kittens
This is the power
Of love that has smitten

Talking to old friends
Smores over heat
You, my dear, transcend
And no one competes

Warm, soapy hands
Writing haikus
Written in sand
Are the words "I love you"

Frolicking in snow
Cuddles b
Emo"Emo"

I'm a plane without wings
You wouldn't want to fly
I'm a bird who can't sing
An unlucky kind of guy
I'm a car without wheels
You wouldn't want to drive
I'm a drug that can't heal
Or keep you alive

I'm a boat that can't float
You wouldn't want to sail
I'm a ballot you can't vote
Because the names aren't unveiled
I'm a train without conductors
Soon to be derailed
I'm a story without structure
Such a boring tale

I'm a poem without form
You wouldn't want to read
I'm a bed without a dorm
Not comfy enough to sleep
I'm a ghost who can't scare
Lofting through the breeze
I'm fireworks without flare
That you wouldn't want
Orion's Gift"Orion's Gift"

Its so surreal to feel the stars at night
And know those you care about are looking at that same sky
Wondering if they are thinking about you
The same way you think about them too
Reliving memories as they occur in your mind
While moving forward through the passage of time
Its tough to muster the idea of never speaking to them again
And the bonds that were formed have ended up in vein
And yet we wonder if they are still alive
And if old relationships can ever be revived
The ghosts of people every night I mourn for
Like those families who lost their sons in brutal wars
They still exist out there somewhere in the pr

Love Is"Love Is"

The most complex, rare, and precious emotion any human being can experience
And when you find that love, you grasp it, hold onto it, and never let it go.
Cherish it, for love like that may never come again.
Trust in it. Nourish it. Listen and Understand.
Watch it slowly blossom like a flower in the sunlight.
Cultivate it. Work at it. All the joys, pains, and woes
Love is certainly not easy, but the results are profound.

Love is like the wind.
You can't see it, but it's there.
You can't touch it, see it, taste it, but you feel it's in the air.
You can feel the fuzzy, warmness of your heart and in your mind
When you allow anothe
Mid-Life Crisis"Mid-Life Crisis"

Everything I am is a testament to my mediocre life.
I never felt a sense of pride and achievement
Because I smashed the few trophies I earned for fourth place.
Mister average is what I call myself; just standard issue.
I'm not talented at much nor did I start young.
I'm nothing special; honorable mention at best.
I don't blame my parents, my friends, or people I love.
I blame myself for never trying
Never pursuing more; never trying to be better than what I am
Never getting out there more; never taking risks.
I have so much unfulfilled potential.
Potential that I'll never know what could have been.
Perhaps I was scared of f
Curtain Call“Curtain Call”

On a corner of a block lies a theater with a stage
For twenty dollars audiences sit like mice in a cage
Watching actors personify characters they are not
Understanding metaphors and subtle nuisances in plots

Except for this play the actors have vanished
Craving an encore the audience is famished
The actors have taken leave; the director walked out the door
The orchestra section is empty for they will play no more

There is no phantom; there is no opera
The sopranos can not sing; the tenors concur
The scripts are ripped, the actors have no direction
The villains have quit for they lack motivation

The curtains

Coerce

:iconbleedthedream180:

"Coerce"

I don't know who you expect me to be
But there's a constant pressure that hovers over me
I'm sorry if I don't meet your expectations
But realize that I too am frustrated beyond dictation

I realize nothing may be the same again
Or maybe that's only my fear with friends
Growing up I always tried to play pretend
But I know I've only been fooling myself in the end

I know my time is running out
And the path that I'm on won't be the easiest route
But these expectations that you have of me
Is more than anything that I could be

Or is that just me hiding from what's real?
There I go again; trying to conceal
An excuse to avoid overexposing
That light at the end of my tunnel is closing

And you're right; I could be much more
The only thing holding me back are these doors
But they aren't locked; my will is delayed
I'll always pray things stay the same way

ohhh, well i'm one who believes everyone is in charge of their own life and shouldn't do something life altering JUST to please another person nor should anyone pressure anyone else.
like if a father is a lawyer and forces his son to be a lawyer, that's just fucked up lol
