We're getting through and being strong,
The way you knew we would,
Still, today my heart is heavy,
With what I'd tell you if I could.
See, I didn't really cherish time,
I couldn't see how fast it went,
So I'm afraid you left not knowing,
What, to me, every second meant.
You tried to make this easy,
And said I'd see you again,
You swore someday in Heaven,
But no one knows just when.
Perhaps you didn't realize,
You'd never truly go,
I'll see you every single day,
In everything I know.
You are the way the sun shines,
On a beautiful perfect day,
You are the way the wind blows,
And the trees as they gently sway.
You are every single tractor,
On every farmer's land,
You are the hammer and the nail,
In every worker's hand.
You are the love that's in my heart,
You've helped me grow and learn,
I know that you're still guiding me,
Until wings like yours I earn.
Three months is nothing,
It's not enough time.
I don't understand this,
Yet, asking why is a crime.
The ticking of the seconds,
Cut just like a knife.
No one deserves this,
A cruel countdown of life.
The hourglass will empty,
Then you will have to go.
Death will stake his claim,
And my kids you'll never know.

The Artists of Yesterday
i used to be an artist
who painted in rhyme
and you pretended to care
and we wasted our time
now words have failed me
when there's so much to say
and they're festering inside
and they're rotting away
you used to be an artist
who shaped pretty lies
and i pretended to believe
and you avoided my eyes
now deception has failed you
when the truth was set free
and you avoid the world
and you sail out to sea
I only wish to live
between the pages of a book,
fighting for what's right,
turn the page and take a look.
First, I'd live like Dru,
a Svetocha in full bloom,
ridding the world of suckers,
a single breath would be their doom.
Or, maybe, I'd be Rose,
a dhampir of a different sort,
kicking ass and earning marks,
shadow kissed with a quick retort.
Next, I'd live like Calla,
a Guardian leading my pack,
rewriting my own destiny,
kissing two Alphas back to back.
Of course, I'd live like Tris,
Divergent at it's best,
resisting all the serums,
passing every Dauntless test.
Then, I'd become Ender,
the smartest of them all,
playing games of war,
w
I am the writhing shadows,
the grotesque underbelly of the Earth.
The other side of the mirror,
echoing sounds of demented mirth.
A solitary moth,
the darkest beauty of the sky.
The worthless, broken soul,
destined never to be a butterfly.
A single lonely teardrop,
on the face of the broken.
An unending, silent scream,
an epitomy of pain that wont be spoken.

The Cost of Freedom
Freedom
Clear, blue
Welcoming, loving, judging, glaring
Cloudy, dark
Confinement
And if the color leaves your eyes again,
We'll both know I'm the reason why.

More Than Meets The Eye
Looking in the mirror,
I'm not who I see.
A prisoner in this flesh,
I see all that I could be.
More than just my fat,
And more than just my skin.
This body's just a vessel,
I am what's within.
You’re perfection in a single glance
And everyone’s to busy taking pictures
To explore reality, but when the tide goes
Everyone will see the trash and dead things
And wonder where they came from.
You’re just like the ocean.
And now I’m drowning in your indifference
With waves relentlessly crashing
Over my head, pulling me under,
Tossing me around,
Dragging me down.
Well, I always was lost in you.
My mouth opens to tell you so
But, as your poison fills my throat,
I think my chest might explode
And I might welcome it
If only it puts out the fire
That’s blazing in my lungs.
Didn’t I tell you that you t
