He Came To Them In Sheep's Clothing

One day an evil man came to them in sheep’s clothing,
To lead them into his evil ways he was hoping.
So treacherous and evil was this ravenous wolf,
Feeding off of their ignorance while he played golf.
So fine he was in the art of deception,
So ignorant were they with their perception.
This wolf led them towards hate, anger, racism, and national division,
They broadcasted his evil ways with women, immigrants, lgbtq+, and other minorities on live television,
Oh and let’s not forget about the polar bears,
The many ways in which he tried to destroy homes that were theirs. 
And the plethora of parents who were split from their children,
Locked up in cages where he tried to keep them hidden.
And we will always remember the names of the black lives lost,
The way he cared more about the protests and every building’s cost,
Than how the cops shattered their whole lives,
Just several more names for their archives.
It was for the way their skin was,
That they needed no other cause.
To ruthlessly finish them off
While the cops idly sat by on their pipes for a good cough.
A darker tone of skin color they had,
Skin so beautiful that the wolf’s supporters simply saw as bad.
They prayed like cowardly fools,
Acting like peace and love were their precious tools.
They say ignorance is bliss
No wonder how in the racist past they liked to reminisce.
The wolf and his blind sheep fueled off of pure evil,
Engaging in horrific activities that were and were not legal.
They claimed the money was moving,
Yet the country as a whole was not improving.
One day when a real and wise leader came about,
This evil wolf betrayed his nation like a lout.
They invaded and destroyed inside the Capitol building,
All eyes on them as their own nation they were betraying. 
The good ones knew much better as they’d opened their eyes,
Instead of spouting hate and evil and using religion as a disguise.
The good ones knew this evil wolf’s time had expired
So wrongly this country he had wired.
Very happily the good ones voted him out,
The other real and wise leader had been victorious without a doubt.
This wolf who came to fragile, evil people in sheep’s clothing’
His actions will never never be condoned,
But oh wolf, your own place in Hell you have enthroned.

The Monsters Know

Those disturbing thoughts no one will ever hear,
And all those mixed emotions cascading into one single fear,
They're monsters that are so atrocious,
Yet so fierce and precious and so ferocious.
They drag me down to the bitter deep,
And drown me when and when I'm not asleep.
I try to wrestle with them and beat them,
But will I ever be free?
Will I ever truly be me?
Those around me call me forgetful, rude, and lazy,
And sensitive, weird, and crazy,
But they don't know about my monsters.
So who are they,
To judge what I think and say?
The monsters fiddle with my mind,
Making me think that happiness I will never find.
It's getting dark inside my mind,
It's time for the monsters to be fed.
The blood trickles down my hands,
And with a "plop" on the water it lands.
The tears stream down my face,
While my thoughts 'round and 'round they pace.
I want to win...
I REALLY want to win.
But the monsters are here,
And they know what I most fear.
I'm screaming, I'm hollering, and I'm taking on my fear,
But the saddest thing is that no one seems to hear.
"Stop it!!!" I scream.
"This is all just a dream!!!"
But deep down I know it's reality
And that by the morning I'll just be one more fatality.
My soul slowly withers away,
Like the sun on a brisk, cold day.
These monsters have won. 
They've finally won. 
They tormented and tore me apart,
And shattered my soul and broke my heart.
Poor, gentle, innocent soul,
Slayed and slayed until no longer whole.
Dysfunctional and crazy,
Damaged and lazy,
Full of depression and anxiety,
But her struggles never seen by society.
That's when the monsters came,
To take society's blame.
Gone forever she is now,
Gone, too, are the monsters now.
Where's her mind and soul?
Where's her mind and soul?
The monsters...
They're the ones who know.

Her Death Vow

She lay sprawled across the floor 
With a knife in her hand and her wrist cut to the core.
No one ever heard her scream
Yet everyone told her it was all in her head and just a bad dream.
The signs were always there,
She just needed one person to really care.
But while she gasped for air,
Her loved ones cared more about things elsewhere.
She is completely gone now,
With that knife she took her own death vow.

A Piece of the World

I hold a piece of the world in one hand
And my confidence on my chest.
I’m in a one woman band,
But I still give everyone my very best.
Kindness I spread like confetti,
And everyone is happy and ready.
I am glittering in happiness,
And exterminating the darkness, 
Ending the violence,
And giving the world innocence.
No more guns,
No more money,
No more war.
I am one of God's angels.
I am making a difference.
I hold a piece of the world in my hands.

They Call It Love

They call it love
and I call it pain.
It’s fragile and weak 
and it breaks you like glass.
From the heart to the brain
and everything above,
it shatters everything,
and your own happiness you have to feign.
Tears leak and leak
and the mind gets weak and weak.
It’s a constant battle 
between trusting or not trusting,
between opening up or simply lying,
between crying or pretending 
that everything is perfect,
and knowing 
that love is not just a defect
of the heart and soul
and of the withered 
remains of the mind’s control.

The I Forgot

The clouds are dark and puffy,
it’s another stormy day,
and I forgot my own name 
in the presence of beauty and charm.
My eyes melt into honey,
and my heart forgets how to beat,
and my mouth utters words
that quickly turn into gibberish.
I long to touch your beautiful skin,
to caress your silky brown hair,
and to kiss those thin and delicate lips,
but you’re so far away
and I don’t even know you.
You see me and smile 
and come closer.
You ask me my name but nothing comes out.
I stare and stare,
and gently,
I whisper,
“I forgot."

In All the Galaxies and Universes

So beautiful and profound like the honey in a bee’s nest
So calm and hypnotizing when they’re at rest,
I fall into their sweet brown abyss,
No eyes could be more surreal than his.
In the sun they melt ever so sweetly,
And they drag me into his realm completely.
His lips touch my skin,
His hands caress my chin,
His eyes so deeply they lock me in,
He makes me smile with his lovely grin.
He is a gentle warrior,
And a passionate lover.
A beautiful being,
Whose soul is always gleaming.
Handsome king,
This offering to you I bring,
To always love you and cherish you as you are,
Because in all the galaxies and universes, you are my only star.

Out of Love

I can say that I’m alright,
I can pretend to put up a fight,
But you were the one who made me see the light,
when you held me in your arms really tight.
And everyone believes,
that eventually everyone leaves,
but I had the nerve,
to believe you were everything I deserve.
I had many reasons to love you,
But sadly, out of love you grew.
