Smile and keep nodding
For the mask behind the scene
Fits oh so perfect.

Wake up.

Walk through a wall
see what it's like to have it all.
The rich, the poor, nothing matter anymore.
You're free.

Living life in a dream
and nothings real.
Who cares when it's fake
It's not a big deal.

But like all dreams, they go by fast.
You won't remember a thing
until you return at last.

The Life you once lived is now gone.
Now brought back to where you belong.
Those who're there
all shocked in a stair.

A tear starts to fall..
you know nothing all,
like a dream waking up
thinking you're in another one.

Until..

You see your mother,
feel your brother,
hear your father,
and finally realized

The world you once lived beyond this wall,
was holding you back from your family all along.
So live your life in each and every way
because you'll never know when it's your last Day.

The feelings that I get while I'm staring at your face
are like a supernova exploding in space.
Not with the pain or destruction it may cause
but, instead with the beauty of looking from a far.

one two three four five
here it comes again
one two three four five
but why is she surprised
one two three four five
(they said the counting would help)
one two three four five
“look in the mirror”
one two three four five
“tree trunk thighs / stomach expanding like the universe”
one two three four five
outside doesn’t matter (they said)
one two three four five
“eyes too wide / nose too long / lips don’t close”
one two three
so she can’t stop the words pouring out in heart-piercing whispers
one two
“ugly / unlovable / unkissable / unfriendable”
one
maybe one day she’d pour enough ugly out to be size
zero

You might have the friends,
Nice clothes,
A car,
Athletic status to where no one can reach your scale,
While my world ends,
Doors close,
Nowhere to start,
Spending money countless times to get out of this hell,
Made it through highschool all 3 years,
While I never made it to even 10th grade,
No one makes fun of your fears,
I have to just go through the pain,
Calling me a faget and scary,
While the cute girls find you attractive and pretty,
You should appreciate all that you have,
Instead of taking it for granted and getting people to do your ***** work and picking on people while you're in your posse,
I'd rather be,
Just me,
That's why I prepared for every contingency,
So when you throw shade at me,
Throw it,
Correctly,
And sincerely from me to you,
Childish and petty,
I feel sorry for your future,
No money for spaghetti,
Picking on the less fortunate,
Will get you unfortunately revoked,
And the person you picked on before is cutting checks and going at your throat,
You gotta love it,
How the tables turn so broad,
Let's see you rise above it,
Please! I'm waiting.
bullying as not cool , thats why i went through it....

The night was young
when "we went to bed"
I couldn't stop picturing her in my head.
We'd say goodnight
yet, stay awake.
Only thinking of each others face.

I'd walk out the room
to go get a drink,
"Or maybe that's what I wanted her to think"
but, it came to my surprise
she was up as well.
Maybe this was sign
who was I to tell.

She'd look at me
as I'd look at her
when our eyes collide
I see the universe.

I moved in closer
as would she,
we gave each other a hug
but couldn't be set free.
"don't let me go..
I like how this feels"
but, then it got better when she turned the wheel.

Her lips pressed to mine
I felt something real
we moved to our beds, now knowing how we feel.

you could say it was sneaky
on what happened next,
we couldn't make a noise
but we passed the test.

She'd now sleep on my side
when the sun finally rose
and when I'd open my eyes
I could see birds out the window.

But, more importantly
she was right there
and that was when I knew
how much I really cared.

I miss that day
all of them together
but, all I see is
I gotta play this game better.

Help me find the courage inside
to not run from the fears and lies,
The path ahead is so very long,
It hard to believe I was even this strong.

Creatures always come out at night
I'm holding my demons in so tight.

This can't be right,
where is my home?
something's wrong
I need to go..

The Fire beats within my heart
tho the silence can only go so far.

This isn't heaven
or where I belong,
this is a world
where we don't get along.

Finding courage
in a place like this,
the thought of it just makes me sick.

how can I do this on my own,
when it seems like everyone leaves me alone?

Well I guess that's why I have to be brave
so I can create these better days.
Such ones where people can smile.
You could even learn to let your guard down awhile.

By facing these fears
I must swallow my pride,
for how can I keep living
if I chose to hide?

No more running.
I'm done with it all,
I'm facing these problems
by taking them head on.

For us, with calming winds came late,
     we know not their pain;
The seas and tides had taken care
     not even left a stain—
Of all the broken things there were,
     I still have yet to see one;
But veldts of green and daffodils,
     in which to play and run—
They say to me in a whisper soft,
     “Do not dwell on us below."
So we dance among the fields above
     those forgotten long ago.
