Tales From My Imagination: May 2013

Thursday, May 23, 2013

MOODY MORNING

Another morning comes but I don't really care
Just another day if wishing I was over there
In the land of my dreams but I live in this towm
Forever alone so I'm feeling pretty down
The sun is shining but I'm thinking, big deal
I think I'll be moody until my dreams become real
No good morning, don't tell me to smile
That's something I haven't done in awhile
Why should I smile? I don't have a reason
Just the same thing season after season
Day after day, just the same boring routine
You want me to smile? Don't make me look mean
I'm pretty sure that streak won't be broken today
I'm just going to go back inside and write the day away
I don't need to hear that things will get better and cheer up
It's been years now and things still suck
I highly doubt that things are going to improve
In this game of life, I'm just destined to lose
Instead of saying that I just give them a wave
And tell my neighbors to have a good day
I guess that's the only other thing that I can do
As I try not to be rude to anyone while I'm in this bad mood.

SICK

Waking up this morning, not feeling well
I think this day is already shot to hell
Feeling hot, nauseous and weak
It even feels like a struggle to speak
Lying in bed, feeling half dead
Killing the creativeness in my head
No daydreams of fantasy today
Man, I really hate feeling this way
I am closing my eyes, going back to sleep
Ignore this feeling and just breathe deep
Maybe then I’ll get some relief
I don’t know, but let’s just see.

CONNECTION TO THE CREATOR OF ILLUSIONS

Trapped by Venger, she has no choice but to obey
To give a false illusion to the village where her parents stay
A village full of food and rich with water
A place that was kissed by the heavenly daughter
She must give them an illusion that the place is barren
Where there is no food for her friends and parents
They believe that they are really starving to death
That they are just a missed meal from their last breath
But what they see is so far from the truth
But this is something that Darla must do
But then one day, some visitors came
An unknown wizard with a very strange name
Who could feel the pain that she was going through
So when she cried in pain, he did too
The villagers blamed him for all of their problems
And it was up to him to be able to solve them
He was the one that they placed all of the blame
They questioned the real reason on why he came
They blamed him for the illusions of death and the fires
They blamed him for their unhealthy desires
But that was the evil plan that was put into action
And it was working, to Venger's satisfaction
As Darla lies trapped, feeling nothing more than a slave
But it's up for this young wizard to rise and be brave
It's up to him to save Darla from a life locked away
As her powers grow more that Venger uses and takes
It is up to him, to find the ultimate solution
To find and rescue Darla the creator of illusions.

CHILD OF THE STARGAZER III: STARFALL

CHILD OF THE STARGAZER III: STARFALL
She's coming to the tower of light and the dark queen knows
If the Child of the Stargazer reaches it her reign is done
So she sends her warriors armed with lightning bows
As the ones enslaved to her cower and run
Starfall is coming down on the tower of light
A comet that will enter the realm and enter the roof to the stars
And the child must be there to receive the power and might
To defeat the dark queen and heal the realm's scars
Starfall is coming soon so she must make her way
And save this realm before all is lost
Her moon sword cuts down those w JK o tru to slay
She must get to the Tower of Light at all costs
The dark queen screams in anger as she gets past the guards
And now she is inside the the ancient passage
But still her way through will be so hard
She must reach Starfall or the damage will be massive
The entrance to the Tower of Light is blocked by the Dark Queen
Murder and hate is blazing through her eyes
She's so enraged she lets out a scream
"The prophecy will not be fufilled, you will die!"
Bolts of yellow lightning burst forth from her hand
As it brings the Stargazer to her knees
The light turns the night to day in all the land
She cannot fail her mission, this cannot be!
The Dark Queen laughs, knowing that it's almost time
As the is coming down making its way its destination
The Stargazer stands, her goal strictly in mind
And keeps going forward with no hesitation
The comet reaches the Column of Light and enters in
The Stargazer makes one last lunge as day and night collide
She becomes one with the stars and the prophecy begins
She is filled with the power of the universe inside
Now the Dark Queen knows that her life is done
As the room lights up and she is swallowed whole
By the light that's more powerful than an exploding sun
That eats away at her very own soul
The Child of the Stargazer has fufilled what was said in ancient books
Another world was saved from the brink of destruction
As the people sing to her and are amazed by her looks
Now they can begin the long task of reconstruction
The morning star has came again and has saved all people
The realm will now be able to smile once again
Gone now is the long reign of evil
But how long will it be until this beauty comes to an end?
No one will really know as she goes back to where she belongs
In mere seconds she's gone and is just a streak in the sky
The prole all around are still praising her in song
As she soars off to save another world about to die.

MESSAGES

I still see the messages in my phone I haven't erased from you
I should erase them but I can't bring myself to
I keep thinking to myself: what's wrong with me?
I can't I stop thinking about you and finally be free?
Everyone you said you loved me was merely a lie
You said you'd never let me go but you did, why?
You said you would never hurt me but you ripped out my heart
Remember when you said that we would never be apart?
I believed you like a fool and look at what you've done
I'm still waiting for the end of this torment to come
I read them again and again but I can't stop myself
I know I'll never be able to find someone else
You were my only shot at love and now that's gone
Wounded and hurt, alone I'll just have to move on
I still can't bring myself to delete these old words
Maybe this pain is what I truly deserve
A warrior without a heart I'll be for as long as I exist
Floating in and out of depression's fog and mist.

CHEVEYO AND THE SWORD OF POLARIS

His name means spirit warrior but he doesn't know his fate
He's hunted by the evil one who lives on hate
His destiny was already made long before he was born
Around tribal fires on a cold December morn
And he lives his life but he has no clue
Of who he really is and what he must do
But everything changed when he went to the mall
It was there when the evil one made his call
Lava monsters from the ground came for him
If he dies, the future for this world will be dim
Cheveyo runs as the lava monsters destroy cars
Intent on destroying the spirit warrior from the stars
But before they can, something falls from the sky
A gift from the great spirit from way up high
A powerful sword that the stars gave birth
That is now coming down and crashes in the earth
Cheveyo sees it fall and he is drawn to the glow
He reaches and grabs the sword from a place he doesn't know
The power surges through him and the connection is complete
Now he is ready to stand boldly on his feet
Two quick blows and the lava monsters fall to the ground
The power of the Sword of Polaris makes his heart pound
He is rising to his calling, to be a spirit warrior reborn
Now to the sword of Polaris his life has been sworn
He has risen to his name and now the adventure begins
But only he knows how the spirit wars will end.

THE CRUEL JOKE

I can’t believe it, she’s coming my way
Wow, today is going to be the day
This is happening right before my eyes
It’s a dream come true, I just might die
She sits next to me and I feel so nervous
I think to myself, I just don’t deserve this
She whispered in my ear: “I really love you.”
No way, this is too good to be true
But then in my ear she started to laugh
“Of course I don’t love you, you stupid ass!”
Everyone is laughing and once again a joke
An object of amusement, I have no hope
I get up and leave, with tears falling down
Once again I become the public clown
But everyone’s laughing except me
I wish that people would leave me be
Dreams crushed again, this is what I expect
Sadness will follow me until my last breath
My head in my hands, I can only just cry
And mutter to myself, “Why? Why? Why?”

THIS IS MY HOME

People don't understand and think I'm wierd
But I have felt this way even in my younger years
I feel tied to a place I have never seen
Where the land is beautiful and green
When clans stood up and fought for her glory
Names from legends that have become timeless stories
I feel a bond to them that no one will ever understand
That is where I belong, at home in that beautiful land
Even in school I always daydreamed in class
Of being married to a beautiful Scottish lass
Spending my days and nights with the woman I love
As we admired the stars that shined high above
We would be happy as we raised our kids
That is the beautiful live that I still want to live
I feel a bond to them that no one will every understand
That is where I belong, at home in that beautiful land
Times are hectic now, I need to escape
To follow my dreams before it's too late
There's nothing else left here for me to stay
I can't give up now, I need to find a way
In my dreams, Scotland calls to me
Before I die, living there is where I need to be
I feel a bond to them that no one will every understand
That is where I belong, at home in that beautiful land

WHAT I SEE

WHAT I SEE
I don't see anything worthwhile
I don't see someone wearing a smile
I see someone sad every moment in life I see a loser who will never have a wife
I see a hopeless geek, forever lost in books
I see an insecure person always hiding his looks
I see a worthless nobody without any hope
I see another person struggling, trying to cope
Every day this person I continue to see
But I'm looking in the mirror and that person is me.

NO APOLOGIES

NO APOLOGIES
This is who I am, I make my own choices
I make my own way and ignore other voices
I really don't care if I disappoint you
I'll talk to whoever I want, don't make me choose
Don't private message me saying you wish me peace
You claim to be a lamb but I see the wolf underneath
And I opened up to you, I feel like such a fool
That will never happen again, that's the new rule
I'm not going let myself get back stabbed again
By someone who claimed to be a friend
That's what I get for always trying to be nice
But from now on I'm going to be as cold as ice
Nobody really cares and that's the real truth
No matter how much they say they really do
They'll drop you quick if you dare make a mistake
Because they're perfect, in their minds they're great
Don't expect me to say sorry, I did nothing wrong
Go ahead and write a meaningless post that's long
Tell everyone how they have let you down
So you can get sympathy from people all around
No apologies, I'll never take a word of this back
I'll just move on and leave it at that.

THE DREAM WRAITH OF THE GORRIDON FOREST

Deep in the forest, he was tired and needed to rest
He stopped and sat down up against a tree
He looked up and saw the beautiful bird's nest.
But that would be the last thing he would see
Slowly he closed his eyes and went fast to sleep
And that was when he began to dream
He woke up with a crown on his head high in the keep
With a queen by his side, what did all of this mean?
"Where is this place, I was just in the woods!"
"Be still my love, are you all right?"
"My love? Who are you and where's my hood?"
"My love, you must have bumped your head last night."
He looked around and he was so confused
Could this be? Was he truly a king?
He jumped up out of the bed not knowing what to do
He looked down at his hand and saw the ring
He was a king of all Gorridon with this beautiful Queen
"I must be dreaming, this can't be real!"
He looked into her eyes which were a beautiful green
"Kiss me my love, my lips you will feel."
He gave her a kiss as she embraced him tight
He felt her soft lips and he felt so weak
Little did he know that he was slowly losing his life
A dream wraith surrounds him as he's sound asleep
It slowly takes his life away without him knowing
Feasting on the essences of his soul
The dream wraith slowly begins to start glowing
As it finishes and now he is just an empty hole
Stull stuck in his Dreamland and never to return
Back to the world that was his true reality
He'll lay here for years before his body starts to turn
But until then in his dreams he'll still see
He'll be that king as he gives out orders With his beautiful Queen by him, standing strong
His Warriors of the Valley will protect the borders
As the bards dedicate their voices to him in song
He's trapped in his dream and will never get out
As his body lies still, slowly wasting away
Even in his dream he still has doubt
If it's real but he still thinks it's okay
The dream wraith goes away to find another target
Another wanderer who is traveling alone
He might become another victim in this forest
And another one who will never make it home.

THE WRONG CHOICE (ONION BREATH)

Working and thinking about what to eat at lunch
A delicious hot dog seems to be the hunch
Finally the time comes and it’s time for my break
Head out to the streets, hope I’m not late
Go to the vendor, get a hot dog, extra onions
And I think I’ll get a small bag of funyuns
Ahhh, that was a meal was so superb
Everything’s going great, it could be worse
Then I turn the corner and what do I see
There’s this woman who wants to meet me?
Oh no, now’s not the time to have onion breath
Man I wish I bought some gum before I left
Only one chance to make a first impression
This moment is going to increase my depression
After walking away, I wanted to break into a run
This could have been avoided if I had some gum
This would only happen to me, that’s just my luck
A first impression ruined, man do I suck.

YO MANG

Do you really think it’s cool to talk that way?
As far as we have came, you want to act the fool
I’m ashamed when I see the youth today
Talking like idiots and thinking it’s cool
Fredrick Douglas struggled to get to Harvard
And so many more have paved the path
Many struggled and their way was harder
But you walk around and act like an ass
You say you want to go to college
But you can barely speak or spell
You really need to build up some knowledge
If you want to escape concrete hell
Rise above those people around you
Who always try to bring you down
Be yourself, don’t do what others do
Just stop acting like a clown.

SAVE ME

Lost in this world of hurt as I lie on this ground
Only you can save me now
I can't move at all as my heart starts to pound
Only you can save me now
The battle roars on as my other brothers fight
Only you can save me now
This ground feels so cold tonight
Only you can save me now
I'm calling to you as I look at my hand
Only you can save me now
Please, help me and make me stand
Only you can save me now
I don't want to die on this foreign land
Only you can save me now
I call to you in my time of need
Please listen to me and set me free
Put me in a trance to ignore this pain
Fill me with Berserker rage and keep me sane
I swear to you I will owe you my life
Just let me stand and do what's right
I'm a warrior, I can't die like a coward
Lying on the ground without any power
I feel the rage inside me, I can move again
If Odin wills it, this is not where life will end
I'm on my feet but I don't know how
I guess Odin came and saved me just now.

THE GRAVEYARD OF DRAGONS

There they are, the mighty dragons of the past
The reptiles that once blazed through the sky
It was a sad day when men killed them at last
The realm itself she'd a tear from its eye
Gone are the dragons, the black and the green
The red, white, and gold dragons of ice
They were real once but most think they were dreams
But right here is where their bones still lie
They never saw Pythos when he took flight
A dragon so powerful they called him death on wings
His eyes burned like coal, his scales dark as night
Or Lugion the gold dragon who breathed pure frost
The ancient king of Illsidrin rode bravely on his back
The battles they fought together are all but lost
How together they saved Illsidrin when it was under attack
Ploaria the Red dragon tamed by Queen Crillia herself
In that time there was no one more mightier than them
Her flames carved Montolothia and the blackened shelf
The age of dragons came to an end because of the greed of men
They hunted and killed them all just for treasures and gold
All we have left now is this cave of bones
The legacy of the powerful creatures all lie here
The flames still live and the stories have a home
Even though their memory fades with the turning of each year.

TWIN TIGERS

I'm nothing, I'm a worthless piece of shit
I'm at the end of my rope and I want to quit
A stupid fuckwit who drinks way too much
I'm ugly with a body no girl would touch
I'm motivated my nothing, not even life
Fuck it, I should just end it all with a knife
My parents hate me too, they call me a loser
And they wonder why I'm an alcohol abuser
Even my own brother has turned his back on me
I have no one, I'm a lonely as lonely can be
Give me a reason to go on In this state
Give me a reason to live on with this fate
Of being a nobody with nothing to live for
I can't fight the sadness, I can't do it anymore
All live in a house with people but I feel by myself
You know what, fuck it I'm going to kill myself.

THINK

Before you get upset and call her those words
Think, is that really something that she deserves?
Would you call your mother that and treat her that way?
If you said that to your sister, what would she say?
What would you do if someone called your daughter that?
Just think before you speak Because you can't take those words back

Before you lose control and raise your hand
If someone did that to your mother, you would kill them where they stand
If it was your sister, you would swear revenge
If it happened to your daughter, your wrath would have no end
Just think about it before you do something stupid like that
No woman should ever be struck or smacked

Before you privately send that message so perverted
What if to your mother it was diverted?
What if someone sent something like that to your sister?
Or to your daughter, what would you do then mister?
Just think before you send such a message so disgusting
Expecially after you gain the friendship of someone so trusting.

METAL WOMAN

She goes everywhere with the love of Metal brazen
She was raised on Judas Priest and Iron Maiden
No tattoos but she still has a Metal heart
The kind that would rip a normal person apart
She goes to all the concerts and sings into the sky
As she bangs her head and throws the horns up high
There’s no slow songs in her music collection
She only wants Metal as her sole possession
As listens to Metal even as her nightly lullabye
Death Metal Screams sooth her as she closes her eyes
She’s a Metalhead’s dream, but she needs no man
She only needs her music and alone she stands
Calm on the outside but the rage flows inside
Released into the energy Metal supplies.

A DYING BREED

I don't want to party all day and night
There's so much more to do in this life
I couldn't care less about a one night stand
I would rather spend my time writing about ancient lands
You may use that word but I'll never call you a bitch
You're a queen to me and don't deserve disrespect like this
There's more to me than these hideous looks
And more to me than the reading of books
If you could see the kind of person I am inside
That I'll always put you first instead of my pride.

WORLD STAR, WORLD STAR

How can I stay positive in this world of hate
Well end up destroying each other at this rate
Everyone's angry and always ready to fight
Disagreeing with someone might mean your very life
Threats of death are screamed over such small matters
In front of kids, making their childhood shattered
But nobody cares, they seem to laugh and watch
And film it on their phones instead of making it stop
Humanity is being destroyed right before your very eyes
But you only want to contribute to out society's demise
And then scream out: "World Star!" like a brainwashed fool
All of this nonsense is far from cool
I see it every day and it just makes me sick
We need to get it together and make the world better than this
But sadly people seem to love living this way
And things will never change, this is the way they'll stay
Instead of being better, people love it when it's the worst
Which is why society will always be stuck in this curse.

IF I COULD (FOR SUMMER)

If I could take your pain away, I would
To make you smile once again
To be the sunflower that you should
And I'd do it as a friend

If I could dry the tears you cry
And turn the darkness into light
I would do it, I would really try
If it would make you feel alright

Stay strong in your difficult time
When everything seems to fall apart
Just always remember and keep in mind
That you have a warrior's heart.

A MILLION THOUGHTS NEVER SPOKEN

Am I the only one who sees her beauty?
Does she even know about this?
She's amazing even when her hair is unruly
Her soul blazes like fire when she's pissed
Does she think about me like I do her?
Do I ever pop up in her mind?
I want to speak to her, but I'm not sure
Maybe another place, another time
Why so I torture myself this way?
She wouldn't like a loser like me
Should I say something to her today?
I guess I'll just wait and see
I hate myself I'm such a coward
I'm speechless when I see her face
Maybe I say something in the next hour
There goes another chance to waste
All these thoughts and I only said Hi
Man am I such a fool
The only other word I'll say is goodbye
I really wish I was cool
I feel like Harold in the elevator with Maria
When he didn't say one word
There goes another chance, so long, see ya
I'm just a super shy nerd.

BEAUTIFUL BUT BROKEN

She sits alone in her room, destroyed by the world
Even though everyone says she’s a pretty girl
But they don’t know about the pain she holds inside
They don’t know about the countless tears she cried
The many attempts to break out of her shell
She’s in her own prison and living through hell
She keeps a smile on her face but in reality she’s sad
She always says she’s doing good when everything’s bad
Making her way through this world has been a trial
It seems like everything’s always in a downward spiral
But the world only sees her as perfect in every way
She has the life people want to live every day
They think it must be great to be called a beauty queen
They think that living her life is like one sweet dream
But the truth is that she’s struggling like the rest of us
Drained emotionally without knowing who to trust
Every day is another trial of keeping it together
Because all she ever sees is clouds and stormy weather
One day she will be able to spread her wings and fly
To rise higher and higher up into the sky
But for now, she keeps it all locked up and unspoken
She’s beautiful outside but inside she’s broken.

THE NIGHTFALL OF HOPE AND SUNSHINE

I had a smile on my face, now it's gone
Now I get to hear you go on and on
You have broken down another part of me
You cause nothing but pain, can't you see
I was smiling, I was just beginning to recover
And you come back just to start it all over
Goodbye good times, welcome back bad
There goes the freedom that I once had
I'm a slave to sadness once again because of you
Because you just don't understand when I say we're through
I guess you just want to see me in misery
Darkness and clouds will be my legacy and history
I guess I was stupid for thinking things would get better
I'll always be the loser with a higher capital letter
Sometimes I wonder why I bother with anything at all
Life is just a dark castle as I roam it's blackened halls
Everything was fine until you came along once again
But I knew the sunlight would come to an end
Here comes nightfall, I embrace the shadows
The cold feelings come back and chill me to the marrow
But I know this feeling, I know it all too well
Stuck once again in my own personal he'll.

KEEP ON TALKING

I hear every single thing you say
It comes out of your mouth everyday
I’m tired of you being so vague
Just say my name, turn the page
Your games aren’t funny, they’re just sad
You’re only talking just to get me mad
But the joke’s on you I’m not mad at all
I’m ignoring you, leaning back on a wall
My headphones are on, I’m in my own world
I could be rude and tell you to sit and swirl
But It’s not worth it, keep running your mouth
Say what you want because right now I’m out.

I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN THE CRY OF MY ANCESTORS

I have not forgotten the cries of the fallen
The ones who walked the trail of tears
I still think about them often
The spirit of the sky still calls my name
As I hear the ancient war cries
As they fought against the men that came
And sadly many of them died
But their spirit never dies, I still hear the call
As they call me back to the ways that I know
An ancient slave marriage linked me to them all
And I feel the ancient warrior glow
Times have changed but I’ll always remember
As I think of the ancient tribal fire
And it slowly burns down to embers
The Blood of a slave and the heart of a chief lies in me
This is why I’m so proud of my past
When I close my eyes I will always see
My ancestors, from the first to the last.

NEVER MAKE HER CRY

If you love her, you'll never make her cry
And when tears fall, you'll wipe them dry
You'll lift her up when she feels down
You'll treat her like a queen and give her a crown
When rough times come and the walls are closing in
When all looks lost and the light is getting dim
You'll never take out your frustration on her
You'll face death before that ever occurs
She should become your every reason why
You'll bring her joy and never make her cry.

GOODNIGHT POEM

Another day has come to an end
Now it’s time to go to sleep
Now I’ll dream of wizard friends
And then I’ll be at peace
Far away from a world so cold
To a land of fantasy
Ancient stories begin to unfold
Right in front of me.

WHEN EVERYTHING FALLS APART ON A MONDAY

Struggling to be positive in these worst of times
But I have so much stress on my mind
So many problems that I have to go through
I'm looking for a solution but I don't know what to do
I have to keep it together, try to keep a calm head
But I don't see anything but trouble ahead
What's heaven? I keep going through hell
What's freedom? I feel like I'm locked in a cell
In a tight situation with no other way out
Things never head north, they always go south
It's time to stand tall and brace for impact
Because as always, the bad news is coming back
It's all slipping away, I'm stuck in such a mess
Here comes a panic attack, I'm gasping for breath
Everything seems to be falling apart on this day
And of course this all happens on a Monday.

I CAN'T THINK OF A POEM

I don't know, something's wrong today
I'm staring at a page and have nothing to say
Should I write about Vikings, write about science?
Or should I write of wars and endless violence?
I just don't know, my mind seems to be blocked
Wait, maybe I'll write a poem about socks!
Never mind that, I'm just fresh out of words
This just shouldn't happen, this is so absurd!
My mind is thinking but I have no answer
Maybe I'll write a poem about clown dancers?
Oh well, just forget it, I just won't write at all
Besides, I think my boss is giving me a call
Well what do you know, I guess I should have known
While thinking of ideas, I just wrote a poem
A poem about nothing but a poem nonetheless
At least it's something and now my mind can rest

NOT UP TO YOUR EXPECTATIONS

I didn’t know I was living for you
At least that’s what you think
And I still wonder what did I do
To push you over the brink
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
You messed with my head
But I’m not your kid
I opened myself up
That was a mistake
Now everything’s fucked
This I’m not going to take
I’m living life for me
So you don’t approve
But this is all I can be
What do you want me to do?
You stabbed me in the back
That I’ll never understand
Actions can’t be taken back
Done by your own hand
Don’t wish me peace
That’s not what you want
You only want to see
Me have feelings that haunt
You keep on talking
But for me I’m done
I’ll keep on walking
Until the setting of the sun.

RISE, WOMAN, RISE

The birth of nations came through you
You're stronger than armies, this is true
Without you, civilization will come to a close
You deserve respect much more than those
Who claim to have power but they really have none
With you comes the rising and setting of the sun
You are mothers, sisters, aunts, cousins and wives
Never settle for less, woman, continue to rise
Reach for the stars and continue to grow
An aura of knowledge and beauty surrounds you with a glow
All should bow to you like royalty on one knee
But sadly in this world this is not what we see
No matter what, no one will crush your spirit inside
You're beautiful and strong woman, continue to rise.
No matter what look, color, shape or country you reside
You're beautiful and strong woman, continue to rise.

WARRIORS OF LIGHT

We are the warriors of light, for mother earth we fight
Our swords strike for her glory, our swords spark in the night
We are the watchers who listen to carry out her commands
And do our best to protect her sacred lands
No longer will she be beaten and abused
And treated as nothing and used
By a society that couldn't care less for her
As they continue to hurt and mistreat her
Her tears stain the land as now she only cries
As her children are cut down and her animals die
And caged up in chains for cruel entertainment
The pleasure of the people is at her expense
We hear you mother, your silent cries through the night
We must act now warriors, we are the keepers of life.

WILL I EVER?

Will I ever find that someone
Who understands I'm weird
Will I ever find that someone
That makes me think clear
Is there someone out there
That could be my queen
Someone that cares
The woman of my dreams?
Will I always be alone
Feeling so depressed?
Wandering without a home
In this world feeling stressed?
Will there ever be a soulmate
To take away this pain?
Or will dying alone be my fate
As sadness drops on me like rain?
Will I ever find true love
Or just embrace this misery
I guess my hole is dug
For the rest of my history
I just have to get used to it
And take it like bitter medicine
I'm alone, feeling like shit
As depression messes with my head again.

RUDE AWAKENING

She was in my dreams again
I keep asking, why me?
I always get tortured in the end
Of what can never be
I wish so much this could be true
But not in this lifetime
I wake up feeling lonely and blue
Because she's not by my side
Silly thoughts and silly dreams
It will never happen
It's sunny but for me it seems
That the skies always blacken.

CUTTING THE PAIN AWAY

“Hey you, you’re a worthless piece of shit!”
Those words hurt worse than any hit
“Oh my God look at you, you’re so fucking ugly!”
Yes, that’s why no girl will ever love me
“Stop eating, look at you you’re too fat!”
Yes, I know, please stop calling me that
“You’re nothing, you’ll always be worthless!”
I deserve to be wiped from the earth’s surface
I walk home alone, with tears in my eyes
Feeling like nothing, I just want to die
There’s only one thing that will feel just right
I open a drawer and take out the knife
I’m not going to kill myself just slice my skin
To release the pain that’s held within
The pain feels so sweet, it just takes away
All of the words that were said to me today
Another cut, it stings but the words are worse
At least I feel now, I don’t feel like a curse
It feels so much better than feeling so numb
And being ignored by almost everyone
Cut my pain away, give me my relase
I’m cutting my pain away, so I can have peace.

THOSE EYES

Those eyes, I want to turn away from but I can't
Her beautiful eyes have stopped me cold
My pulse increases and I start to pant
Her eyes have touched my soul
I don't know what to do or what to say
Her eyes can make a strong person feel so weak
I look into them and the world seems okay
But I'm still too nervous to even speak
Does she even know the power she has over me
For her honor I would be ready to go to war
I would do that with a sword and shield proudly
Because she it truly worth fighting for
I try to stay cold, I try not to let feelings show
But looking into her eyes all I can do is feel
If she kissed me, I would be lost forever, I know
She makes this dream of life seem so real.
