Humanity Has Fallen
HUMANITY HAS FALLEN.

Many things that were once wrong, have now turned "right." 
People changing, like day to night. 
Stand your ground I say. Open your heart and shine your light.
Take your beliefs and hold them tight
The river is always moving, changing, changing. Yet stays it...

Schizophrenic
Schizophrenic 

I look in your eyes, Trying to find the boy I used to know. Now you're surrounded with these chaotic lies, And a demented, twisted  sense of reality.

Premium Member Legends of Lillie
Like her name, so slender and lovely;
And I recall she smiled so prettily.
She was my aunt; born with a disease;
But took life like the summer breeze.

My best friend was her son, Jose,
Until suddenly he passed away.
I was seven; he was two;
And sunny days were all...

Through your things I've been peeking.

You entered my room. I cringed at your sight. I knew you would soon become,
The monster of the night. I closed my eyes tight, maybe you would fade away. But instead you stole my innocence away.
 My mother took in her brother, a stray....

Autumn
Autumn 
 Leaves, hanging on desperately, then letting go with ease. 
Leaves, crunch for fun, under the warm sun
 Leaves, dance with around the trees. As the music plays in the cool breeze.
Leaves, Following the beat,  now their dancing in the streets.
