Corruption of the Mental State

In the corruption of the mental state, 
Everyone's body is packed in a crate. 
Torn to pieces and thrown away,
No, this is part of everyday. 

Shadows creeping closer, 
Your eyes getting moister. 
Don't try to cry, 
You'll all eventually DIE. 

In the corruption of my mind, 
You all think I'm very kind. 
It's a mistake to try and hurt me, 
This is everything I wanted to be. 

Rotting in my insanity, 
Don't pull me out, let me be. 
This is the best, 
Better than all my rest.

When You Leave

When you leave me alone in this world, 
I feel like I’m being torn apart. 
I don’t know where to go without you, 
I don’t know where to start. 

When you leave me alone, 
I reach for your hand, but it fades away. 
I can’t comprehend anything without you by my side, 
So please stay. 

When you leave me alone, I feel like I’m blind,
It’s hard to see my future without you there. 
When you’re gone, I can’t help but cry, 
You’re one of the only people who care. 

Please stay here with me, I can’t go without you, 
I don’t want you to leave me alone in a dark place. 
When you’re beside me, that hole in my chest, 
You filled that empty space.

Star Duster

I fear that you don't love me so, 
And it scares me so much. 
You are the most precious person to me, 
And I love you a whole bunch. 
It's so hard to confess. 

I escaped with a single bound over the dream. 
To a huge star burning bright. 
But I realized that 10 thousand year old star, 
Was too far ahead to lead as a light. 
Please help me. 

Give the love now, 
Give the love to me, 
Give the love please,
And you'll see
My love. 

I try to open these heavy eyelids, 
But all I meet is the inky darkness. 
I can't feel your presence, 
That sent me to bliss. 
I wanna feel your warmth. 

The love is slowly disappearing
As I attempt to recapture it. 
It flowed away to the horizon 
100 million years ahead, bit by bit. 
I need you 

Give the love now, 
Give the love to me, 
Give the love please,
And you'll see
My love. 

My senses completely freeze, 
And I try to breath in, 
But this temperature is somehow 
Comforting, like I win. 
Your love returns. 

The star may not shine on the outside, 
But it has a ruddy light in the inside. 
I can see that light, and I'm not afraid
To love you, and I'm dyed 
With your love. 

Give the love now, 
Give the love to me, 
Give the love please,
And you'll see
My love.

That light will never be swallowed by 
The darkness that may live within. 
Even when the light is dim, 
It burns bright on my skin. 
Let me embrace it. 

I'm searching for that glow 10 thousand years ahead alone, 
And even though I'm disappearing in this space dust, 
Before I fade away, 
Your love is a must. 
I love you. 

Give the love now, 
Give the love to me, 
Give the love please,
And you'll see
My love.

I'll see you soon enough, 
Now that this million year old star 
Has burned it's love away. 
Love you.

The Pawn

We are just pieces 
Of a mighty game. 
Here, on the battlefield, 
Feel no pain. 

Let the King and Queen 
Shout their orders. 
And the horse-head knights
Protect the boarders. 

The Rooks
Will beat the crooks, 
And the Bishops
Stand at the outer crops. 

But the pawns, 
Though weak,
Sacrifice for the greater cause,
And are willing to break. 

It's a big game, 
Still feel no pain.
The pieces advance,
Moving their stance. 

One against another,
They clash, why bother
To end it now. 
Ending it, how?

But though the pieces break, 
And the whole world will quake,
The whole game derives. 
This is like our normal lives. 

Are you a higher rank 
With many deaths in the bank?
Or are you a pawn like me?
Ones who actually see-

See the horrors as they come, 
Ones who hear the drummers drum. 
WE know what it's like. 
We'll be nice...psych. 

WE will be our own army,
And WE will advance, you see?
The weak and the dark, the worn to the bone,
WE will advance like stone. 

Those who make fun of the pawn,
And laugh at us all the time. 
WE will win, 
And now I write this rhyme. 

Beware those who think they are higher. 
Be ready to BURN LIKE THE FIRE!

Tell Your World

The piano will play,
A sad lullaby. 
Inside I will stay,
And I cannot move. 

All these years, 
Have gone by with their stares. 
I can't stop thinking about them. 
They cannot leave me alone either. 

My hands touch the cold keys, 
Push them down, tell of the leaves, 
That dance in the wind, 
Then wait for another breeze. 

Tell of a magical world, 
Where everything is huge and bold. 
Tell of the princess and the old
Fairytales and Fables. 

Tell of a thunderstorm, 
Raging in summer when warm. 
Tell how the lightning crashes in the sky, 
And it once will touch the ground. 

Tell of a artist, painting the best,
Maybe better than all the rest. 
Tell and describe every stroke
That artist will make on the board. 

Tell of yourself, wether good or bad, 
Tell of something happy or sad. 
Tell of everything you love about yourself, 
Forget all those other put-downs. 

Write it down on paper, 
Then play a whole song, 
In my huge world,
Nothing will go wrong.

End It All

For all those people, 
Yes, I’m talking about you. 
I want to tell you now, 
This is to help you through. 

For those people
That cut, take pills,
Burn yourself, or commit suicide, 
Please don’t and your wills. 

Cutting, it’s no fun
To see your own blood. 
It doesn’t make you feel any better, 
It’s really no good. 

Drugs aren’t any better,
They’re bad for your health. 
It kills, it just hurts, 
It takes away future wealth. 

Burning, your skin will go. 
And it will just hurt even more. 
So please drop the lighter and the matches, 
There’s nothing good in store. 

Committing suicide, I’m sorry
For those who have a lost one. 
Do you know the domino effect? 
We don’t want your name on the stone. 

Everyone that suffers from bullying, 
I’d gladly help you out, and more people out there will. 
You’re never ever alone, 
So please don’t kill. 

You may think 
I’m writing this to get more fame. 
Well, your wrong sweetie, 
Cutting, I've done the same. 

If everyone would care,
And leave no one behind, 
We’d all live in a better world,
Where everything is kind. 

Don’t worry, we’re all here for you. 
And it’ll stay this way until this message will send. 
Spread the word, share this, 
And hopefully it’ll end. 

We all have scars, 
That tell all our life. 
You can have a better tale, 
If you just drop that knife. 

Gather more people, and tell those who suffer
“You’re never alone, and I won’t let you fall.”  
If you love them with all your heart,
Help them end it all.

Lost Memories

Everything I’ve written down
My whole life, my times
Slowly melting away. 
The diary that held my rhymes, 

It’s already disappearing. 
Yes, I’m losing my memories so soon,
And I’m fading. 
Yes, my memories are gone, to the moon. 
I can’t remember you. 

The time passing, the photos in my mind, 
In that diary that held many memories. 
There are people in reality that knows 
Where my heart lies, along with the keys. 

But even without memories to live with, 
The sky will eventually show it’s color relentlessly. 
The sky that tiredly stretches on forever,
It continues to repeat endlessly. 
Will they come back to me? 

Immersed in the memories, 
Of so many ages that passed on,
I found where it remains, the landscape I dream of.
Say good-bye, forever they’ll be gone. 

I’ll finally meet the star that shines brightly, 
Even though I may flee. 
I know that no matter what, 
He’ll still have a connection with me. 

The day is always over, and I believe, 
We’ll meet in another place worth the debt. 
I’ll store those feelings away, 
But I’m afraid to forget. 

On and on, it will shine without any age,
Today I will invoke and go towards the future, no doubt. 
The star will shine brighter than the sky, 
And I’ll follow that route. 

With a new opportunity, I will climb forwards and move on, trying my best. 
I renounce the skies above me, a shimmering blue. 
With a small line like a thread and glittering like the star, it lights my sky. 
I know that the thread, our love, will help us both through. 

With new hopes and a dream to look forward to,
I’ll walk along this path that leads me to a bright future above the stratosphere.
I’ll reach forward and touch your world, your hand as we meet again, 
And we’ll love like before as we grow near. 

With a new opportunity, I will climb forwards and move on, trying my best. 
I renounce the skies above me, a shimmering blue. 
With a small line like a thread and glittering like the star, it lights my sky. 
I know that the thread, our love, will help us both through.

My Life In a Poem

Love to others is a beautiful red rose,
Growing, blooming, 
Showing, pretty. 
But it seems when I touched that flower, 
It lost all it’s power. 

I was once innocent like everyone else, 
Happy, outgoing, 
Energetic, Upbeat. 
But it seems that life was taken from me, 
When all this happened, you see? 

Our family was so happy before, what happened? 
Playing, smiling, 
Joyful, happy. 
But it seems those days had to come to a close, 
Just as the rose did, I miss that rose. 

That night, it was the worst thing ever. 
Back and forth, 
Arguing and crying. 
As I ran up the stair, slamming the door after. 
In the truck, away went my dear father. 

He came back, I had to fake being asleep. 
Crying away, 
Trying to stay calm. 
Cradled in my mother’s arms, trying to stay still. 
The fight that night ended at an ill will. 

Now in separate homes, we just go back and forth. 
Here, there, 
Back, everywhere. 
It’s tiring to have to move every weekend. 
I feel my legs about to bend. 

Now my father is kind of poor. 
Working, building, 
Gone, absence. 
I miss him when he’s gone, 
I’ll see him walk back to me on the lawn. 

My mother suffers, and so do my siblings. 
Crying, unhappy, 
Faking the smiles. 
My sister is on medication, she’s not my father’s biological daughter, 
And my brother and I can barely even share the laughter. 

I walk on, barely even able to keep it in. 
Crying, dying, 
Trying, sighing. 
Why do I have to live like this? 
The old days I miss. 

Our family is torn apart, all so different. 
Fighting, crying, 
Arguing, trying. 
They don’t know what to do after this tragedy. 
But they don’t care about us, you see. 

Everyone is against each other, 
War, pain, 
Feelings, emotions. 
They can no longer get along, and they don’t know how to. 
No one knows what to do.

Orange Line

As we watch the sunset, the time has come, 
We have to say our goodbyes already? 
“It’s not “Goodbye,” it’s “So long,” for we’ll meet again soon.” 
But the tears on your face fall steady. 

I don’t want to let those times go, 
For all we have are the memories, 
But maybe we can live again with each other, 
And unlock each other with the keys. 

The train bell cries out, breaking the conversations of the people, 
And it’s already time for me to leave you here alone. 
“Don’t worry, just be happy, because, 
I’ll be waiting for you, standing like stone.”

How you make everything positive, when we have to separate, 
To me is a mystery. 
But it’s making me feel better about this, 
I know you’ll come back to me. 

Before we met, there was a huge world out there, 
I was just so afraid and nervous to step out and explore. 
But when I met you, everything was okay. 
You helped me see more. 

But we’ll be together once more, 
And I’ll wait for that moment to come. 
Even if we can’t come back together, please call me, 
I know it’s quite a sum. 

I wave to you, 
From inside the Orange Line, 
Blow a kiss, 
To give you a sign. 

I love you.

Spinning Song

I look around 
And see everything here is changing. 
The homes, economy,  clothing, 
It’s moving on. 
I wish it would stay the same. 

They say it’s changing for the good, 
But there are so many wrongs to it. 
Crime, anger is lit
In the hearts of men and women alike. 
If only we could have stayed the same. 

In this short time, we continue on, 
Replaying our lives. 
The young baby cries, 
And the old person gives a last breath. 
It’s never the same anymore. 

The old are swept off  
By the calm under their feet. 
Taking steps on with beat, 
Onto a new place that promises more. 
If only I could go there, to be the same. 

Children are remaining 
With memories that survive. 
They wake and revive, 
Starting another morning. 
If only that was the same for me. 

Our memories of old and new
Are spun into two spirals,
Then fade away, and unravels. 
This is how it goes on, 
Like a ribbon, changing formation. 

As for me, 
I sing this song. 
I want to change all wrong, 
But nothing can change with one person. 
I know I could never do so much. 

But I will 
Sing for as long as I can. 
Though this song cannot change man, 
I will try and do my part in the world. 
I can do anything if I try. 

I remember what happened
When I pass on to the next place, 
But it’s engraved in this empty space, 
In my heart, 
So please let me through.
