Emotions
Kiara Lebel
Why do you need to go
Why do you need to leave and let me go
Let us go
Tear us apart
All the fights and all the marks wasn't worth it?
You don't love me then you don't love us and you don't love yourself
I’m not crazy I’m just in love
I’m deeper than the average person and I realize what I can do
I might kill for you or even worse, myself
This is a problem for my health
You promised forever with no hesitation and left even quicker
Who am I to you? Nothing anymore
Because these girls are what you need
You crave attention that is not good enough for me, you crave it so much and don’t even realize how bad you really have it
But what gets me is that you're not lost without me
2 years and you're not lost without me
I should've known from the beginning when you left
I should've known......... I should've known.......
And I did know, I was just so blind
And now I’m dead inside and you don't care
So what do you have now, grace and glory?
Or embodiment and misery
I’m dead now......... I should've known.........

Gone
Kiara Lebel
Gone in the presence of time
Because you are not who you said you were
And when I reach for your finger tips, they are untouchable
When I listen for your voice, it is gone
When I try to smell your perfume, it is faded
Where are you now
Gone in the presence of time

Smile
Kiara Lebel
Sunlight rays glistening into the peaks of time, like the moon lit your room with a light so perfect
Miles from where you stand I feel you next to me, hiding me from my darkness, telling me to smile because any other expressions were not aloud in your presence
I remember when I would pull you close to me, so close that the beatings of our hearts combined, that even the thinnest sheet of paper would have to be forced between us
Leaning on me because of the weight you've been forced to carry on your shoulders, pulling me out of the darkness but pushing yourself in, don’t give up
Eye to eye, I see you trapped inside these doors locked with chains, you're letting the menace win, so when I see the tears fall from your eyes I pull you close and say smile babe, don’t cry

Where are you now
Gone in the presence of time

A Drive In Disguise
Kiara Lebel
Beyond successful
A mind full of redemption
And positive vibes
Now I’m in deep pensive thought
For both of us to be dead

When I Seen Blood
Kiara Lebel
Bro
I yelled, BRO
Hold on we’re almost there
Breathe slow
Relax your eyes
Stay still
Pain
Don’t speak
Look into my eyes
I’m not leaving, they’re almost here
Strength
Grasp my hands
Stay close to my heart
I see the glistening in your eyes, don’t cry
Confusion
Lie back
Keep still
God won’t take you
Hesitation
And I remember you whisper “Bro I wouldn’t wanna do nothin like this with nobody else”
I seen a tear shed from you, and that’s when my chest tightened
Don’t say goodbyes, you’re gonna be okay
Lost
You’re breathing slower
You’re eyes are closing
And you’re not moving at all now
Horror
My heart is pounding, you taught me so much
Please don’t go
And the last thing you whispered was “You my lil bro, get out this life cause it ain’t for all of us.”
Dead.
Now you’re gone
I’m here with our memories, memories that are forever
When I seen blood, is when I became a soldier
Rest In Paradise, bro

Rights To Love
Kiara Lebel
Why am I your choice of neglect
Rather not I, it’s we
It’s we as a family, as a community, we’re LGBT
God made us equal, my skin is equal to yours, maybe not in color, but my blood runs through my veins just as fast as yours
If God wanted us to be different in skin we’d be red maybe orange or any color
But lets get personal, your inconsiderate actions will not overpower me, I am superior to your hatred and your smart remarks will not scar
I will fight, we will conquer, we will be equalized
Our hearts beat the same pace, your irrelevant actions are the cause of suicide, you refer to us as demons
In your eyes were nothing but the dirt you walk on
But we as a family will continue to strive for what is right, our love is as strong as yours
I will fight
We will conquer
We will be equalized

Dream To Real
Kiara Lebel
Inhale the gassy air
Running through your lungs
Hearing the mystery tunes
Running through your lungs
Toxic gases taking over your body
Wanting to know when the dream will end
Slowly falling apart
Toxic gases taking over your body
Hearing the mystery tunes
Slowly falling apart
Inhale the gassy air

The Eye Of The Beholder
Kiara Lebel
Screaming under the waters
Although no one can hear
Where are you
When I need you the most
I’m screaming for you
Where are you
I feel you here but you are not there
Lost in the sea
Where are you
The current is pulling me deeper
My eyes are weak
Where are you
My drive to find you is impeccable
My awareness is temporary
Where are you
My breath is lost
The light is gone
Where are you

Breathtaking

Increasing heart rates start
Thoughts of long lasting life are wishes
It don’t last very long

Memory
Kiara Lebel
Minds that rupture from the pain in your heart, running through your veins until you feel it in your soul and your body turns cold
Endless nights, imagining yourself next to the human you adore, but one
simple discussion escalated to that level that you've always prevented.
Mountains where you stood, I felt the hardness of your tear-fall hit my face when we looked eye to eye
Our existence has been scarred into the skins, that even cocoa butter can’t rid us from
Remorse is running through my eyes, flames of unforgiving flashes begin to conceal when you touch my flesh I feel still
Your bloodshot eyes, tired of crying, you leave

Beautiful Creature
Kiara Lebel
The bruises on the surface area
The broken pieces beneath the chest
The blemishes on the thighs
This is a beautiful creature
This human is unique
The smile from redemption
This human is as substantial as the next
This is a beautiful creature
The soft tone, but the loud screams
The monster hiding inside
The distant look inside the eyes
This is a beautiful creature
The tears that flow like a river's current
The stares that only the nights owl has to offer
The brain full of catastrophe
This is a beautiful creature
Not only women, but men
Not only strength but weakness
Not only in sight but blind
This is a beautiful creature
The tally marks on the body tell a story of defeat
But the scars show survival
This human is unique
This is a beautiful creature

Dreams and Nightmares
Kiara Lebel
Every night I lay in my bed
I close my eyes and dream
Every night I prepare myself for what the night has to offer
I fear that my dreams will drown me
I fear that my dreams will damage me
I fear that my dreams will kill me in my sleep
Every night I lay in my bed
I close my eyes and dream
Every night I prepare myself for what the night has to offer
I fear that my dreams will persuade me
I fear that my dreams will replace me
I fear that my dreams will be insidious
Every night I lay in my bed
I close my eyes and dream
Every night I prepare myself for what the night has to offer
My dreams are where my loved ones rest
My dreams are where the monsters endlessly chase me
My dreams are realistic
Every night I lay in my bed
I close my eyes and dream
But tonight is different, because I stay awake
