You know that 'pouring out my heart' thing?
Yeah. These are the ones I'm letting you see. The edits. The improvements. The fixes.

Fear
You have no idea
What it feels like
When every shadow
Is trying to tear you to pieces

It will never stop.
It can’t. You won’t let it.
You know that it’s stupid,
You know that it’s wrong,
But it just happens.
What can you do?

So you will always be scared
Of the shadow behind your door;
And of the devil behind your back
Someone will always follow you
To every place you go.

Always haunted,
Always scared,
And always alone.

Try
If I wrote you
A love letter
What would you say?

Well, I did,
And it’s true.
But I burned it.

Someone called me
Just a minute ago.
Nothing was said,
Nothing was heard.

But I didn’t need anything.
I knew it was you.

Everything about us says we should be
But we can’t be.
Because everyone says so.

But what if they’re wrong?
What if they don’t see
What I see?

What about that?
Then if you want to,
Can we just try?

Wood chopping
I slowly raise the axe up to the heavens
As I prepare for the sacrifice
It's handle chipped, almost brittle from use
It's sharp blade gleaming in the soft sun

I am aware of everything around me
The rustling of leaves in the short bursts of wind
The overpowering smell of the majestic pine on just on right
Even the chirping of the tiny bird, on a branch above my head
Feeding the remains of an innocent soul to its unknowing chicks.

But I need to focus.
All my strength needs to be focused into this one task
Or something could go terribly wrong.

I quickly swing the axe down, with all my might.

Perfect hit. It all cracks open
Revealing all the imperfections in the middle.
I pick up the remains, and I toss them into the roaring fire.

One month
It's been one month
Since I've seen you.

But to me,
It's been forever.

I've counted the hours
Every minute

Each second, it gets a bit harder.

But you're not back.

I've been sitting here
Waiting for you
Staring at the door
Waiting for it to open

But it never moves

So I think

Are you ever coming back?
What if you come back
And you don't love me anymore?
What if you found
Someone new?

So I sit

And I wait

Why can’t you just come back?

Maybe I'll feel something
Perhaps I will feel pain in heaven
Just to know I'm alive.
While my victims laugh at me,
Taunt me; I am a bird in a cage.
Longing to be free from this
Infinite nothingness.

What I am is my weakness;
What I am not will kill me.
If I am going down,
I'll take the world with me.

I can’t relax.
Every moment
I feel cold,
Death is touching my soul
Everything I do is wrong
To the world.

If I am a failure,
A freak of nature,
All I can do is try.
Maybe I'll feel something
Tomorrow.

Rebel
Rebel.
Going against society.
No one asks about it;
But why you do it,
No one knows why.
But they don’t care.

They call you a freak;
Laughing at you
From behind their prison bars.
Telling you that you should
Be just like them.
Telling you that you
Should not be you.

I am the rebel;
Simply acting as I feel.
Not changing myself
For others;
Silently laughing from behind their backs;
Never truly showing
Just who I am.

Break me
I'm unbroken
The only one I know
The only trapped sprit
Trying to be free
So crush me
Be my love and
Break my heart
So I can be free
Don't think of it as cruel
Just think of it as helping me
Exposing me to the cruelties
Going on around me
Force me to see
When I'm blind
Make me hear
When I'm deaf
Make me live
When the world is gone

A collab with Cow Face. My first!
Anyway, I write in this color, and he writes in this color

The Final Battle
The flag breaks,
The bugle calls
As we march off to war
Across the field lies our enemy.
Waiting for their chance to strike

It is time to attack,
Shall we strike at their back?
Will we wipe out their race,
Cause them all great disgrace?
-----
A hot tear runs down my face
Never again will I see the sunset
Or the country I so loved
How can I go on with this?

Oh my God, I can't wait!
Must this battle come so late?
My leaders insisted-
Now I'm glad I enlisted!
-----
A few more steps
Until I'm in position
Then, something in the grass stirs
Oh God! I went too far!
I have to get away from the enemy,
Before it's too late!

I look ahead, I see one!
I fire a round from my gun,
Sending him to his death;
He breathes his last, dying breath.
-----
Beside me, behind me
I hear the dying breaths
Or fathers, mothers,
Daughters and Sons
There's blood everywhere
I'm going to die

Wait, what did I just do?
Blood now does the field bestrew!
How can my saneness stay?
I've taken a life away.
-----
A streak comes at me
I dodge it just in time
As I lie on the ground
I realize that it's over
The chaos is done
I'm alone

What's that sound that I hear?
It penetrates through my fear.
It's the sound of absence...
Suddenly, there is silence.
-----
But wait!
As the smoke clears,
I see a figure in front of me
By instinct, we aim our guns
I'm ready to fire

Shall I take life again?
If I do, then do I win?
But this is not a game,
It is only a great shame.
-----
What do I do?
I could kill him,
And walk away the victor
I prepare myself. I'm ready
I fire

Ah, an end to the wait,
A release valve for all hate.
I pull, I fire, I die.
Thud.
-----
The bullet hits
But then why do I feel pain?
I look at myself
I'm bleeding.
I'm dying
I'm dead

What was this war's purpose?
Was it, as it seems, causeless?
Must they yet continue?
When will we be through...?

I've seen it all
In the magnificent forest
Leaves fall from
Dizzying heights.
And the leaves underfoot
Crunch as I walk
Along the trail

The crinkling
Of the leaves
And the soft whisper
Of the wind
Are the only
Things that follow me
As I reach the top.

All I see is the tops of the trees;
A thick blanket
Of red and gold
Below as I watch
The birds swooping
Around the lakes
Confused by their reflection.

I've reached the top
Of the world.
I've seen the beauty
The world has to offer;
Now it's your turn.

Always here
I'm scared
Terrified beyond belief
What should I do?
You deserve more than me
More than pitiful me
But I need you
Or I'd be running with no air;
Like eating when there's nothing there.
But you,
How could you stand me?
I'm too scared to even talk to you;
To even try.
You need someone who has no fear.
Someone better than perfect
who can make you feel loved
So go out and find this man
But if you search to no avail
Just remember:
You can come back and find me
I'll be here
I'll wait for as long as it takes.

The chance
Here I am
Standing
Waiting
Wondering

What will happen?

What will happen
If I take the leap?
Will I fall?
Or will I touch the sky
As they said I would?

I catch my breath
I leap.
I'm not falling

I'm not flying.
I'm still here
Standing
Waiting
Wondering.
