Premium Member Don't Know Why I Couldn't Fly
Don't know why I couldn't fly When I had the wings and all, Don't know why I didn't try Was I much too afraid to fall Teetering on the bridge that day Arms outstretched, toes to the edge, Then again, who would jump anyway From such a treacherous ledge Looking down from an incredible height My last breath caught in...

a quiet end i cannot take
I want to die— not in screams, not in blood, but in a quiet room where no one waits for me. I think of suicide like a lullaby I hum alone, a final note to silence the noise in my head that never rests. But I'm scared. I'm afraid of the rope, afraid of the pills, afraid of the fall— not just the pain, but the fact that I...

You'd Never Know
You'd never know Surely no one could tell I almost took my life ten months ago From the flames inside that burned a living hell Where demons dwell and angels ache to break free from below It mustn't show, the absent soul hidden within a counterfeit shell...

Premium Member I wrote love letters for you, words I’m afraid to speak
I wrote love letters for you, words I’m afraid to speak, My heart races, feeling alive, yet fear of rejection makes me hesitate. In the quiet of my soul, chaos fades when I gaze upon your captivating face, Tangled thoughts, words lost in the mist, the desire to unravel the heart's threads. I don’t wish to disturb your peaceful...

Afraid of Love or Afraid of Failure
"Hi". One word takes my to those blue skies of heaven, your voice the north on a compass in the sea. How I crave for those brief interactions, occasional furtive glances, occasional day dreamy stares. How I wish I could cover the distance between us in two great strides, roll you in my embrace and say what I've been holding on so deeply...

THE GAME WE PLAY
The game we play Very reckless Taking risks without measures Even when they don't believe in us We've always believe in ourselves Nothing good comes easily. Exploring beyond Our comfort zone That's the game we play Staying away from home Without any comforter or helper From a very tender age We did what many are afraid to do. Even when we have...

your footsteps beat with lightning and thunder inching closer with each bolt as i feel your figure at my feet i don’t dare turn my shoulder for you might be there with black soulless eyes a clever grin your hands by your sides so i rush with caution as the streets start to desert throughout the town the clicks of your footsteps seem to fade my...

Premium Member Santa Claus Was Afraid to Pass Through Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Papa Noël was afraid to pass through on Christmas Day In the streets of Port-au-Prince. Bullets were being fired in droves Sporadically, haphazardly. Many people were hiding under beds Naughty terrorists are like dogs, hyenas in vile forests or deadly wilderness They are everywhere with big machine guns which are not made in Haiti The lawless bandits or God-awful devils...
