Pursuing and Letting Go
I run after a shadow, not quite mine, but one I want to be. Perfect in my eyes, not so perfect in others’. Trying to change because of judgment you’d never expect. In fact, it is true people whisper and hate. But years will pass, and they will learn their own flaws are just as clear. We all chase shadows, sometimes close enough, but some dreams aren’t meant to catch and that’s how...

Flaws
I know making you less perfect won’t make me any better yet I can’t help it I fabricate your flaws in my head  as if it would make my own disappear  almost as if ruining you made me any better … almost as if making you imperfect made me as perfect as you —maybe I should learn to love my flaws instead of obsessing...

Premium Member Short Rays of Envy
Parity e y e s, potency f l i p s! String bean was asked about his lips, Stretched out for drink of cool water. The desert wind, so hot, brought her - “Long Tall Sally,” with spikes of glass; With blue skies, standing in the grass. He strums the strings of Summer sun. Short rays of envy track the...

Comfortable Vill
My heart drumming fast My blood on the freeway  Searching for a place  I'm not sure, it exists.   Not feeling great. Losing patience, not brave  Everyone needs a break  looking for this place . Where can we find it?  Sit calmly  I'll try and let  the meds settle in quickly. Pretending  I'm there  In Comfortable Vill. Our veins are on the freeway  to freedom. Our  blood is  putting pressure on emptying . Never wanting...

Sometimes
We fit so well together, but sometimes... Sometimes, it's like water crashing on a rock. Moving so steadily, yet gushing so fast. I want to help you flow and grow, but for some reason, all I do is cause mayhem and white rapids. We can't see what's in front of us nor can we change it. You see... You...

Nobody Can Resist A Charmer
Attractive lady with long shining hair, nobody can resist such a charmer; I bet you turn guys on to have fun, and when danger comes, you run! The one that promises the joys of Heaven and make him walk slowly on rainless clouds is a true deceiver who counts just to seven, he's ready to give a handful of fake outs! No...

Broken mirror
Why do you seem so confident. When all this will disappear. Why does it seem so evident. When you finally face your fear. When hell has lost its precedence. And heavens a wish a way. You murdered all your yesterdays and placed them in shallow graves Oh, mirror mirror on the wall am I a shadow in your heart. Oh mirror...

To My Children The Greatest Lie in Life Someone is Better Than You
Don't pay attention to what others say or do. Focus your thoughts on the Creator of you. We are all one of His fingerprints, not one is the same. Everyone's still a loser, without God in the game. Not a soul God created is better than you. Whatever one person has, all can have the same too! God's word says "WE'RE...

It Still Hurts
Doesn’t matter how long it’s been It still hurts after 7 months I couldn’t be the friend you deserved So you severed ties You wanted to protect your peace Cannot blame you Seven months later I still grieve the friend I thought you were I failed to be the friend I was supposed to be But your screaming and half truths still...

monotony
she shows her battle scars and all i feel is numbness, he flaunts his maidens and i overlook the dumbness. she cries woes of heartbreak and i cannot feel pity, he weeps waterfalls of failure and i fake some integrity. she hurts me the most when she berates her busy nature, he wounds me the deepest when he complains of...
