I Shall Not Want
I Shall Not Want A polluted world. Fame and fortune. To be idolized. The car of my dreams. To live outside my means. I shall not want. Be humble at heart. Not to be arrogant. I’m content where I stand. Have guidance through the emerald garden. Don’t worry about tomorrow. Just a few encouraging words....

Premium Member Most days
Miss my fam most days don't know why.. blame it on the rain, blame it on the sunshine. Trust isn't an issue with me.. usually. Just allow less access 'cause you can't be too careful these days. You have to look.. to find it in a heart it's a game of chance and odds.. so look hard. If you want, or if...

Premium Member We want to do it all
We think that by keeping busy and having a million and one things to do, the Grim Reaper will walk on by and forget us. By keeping our nose close to the grind, our eyes won't meet and lock on his, meanwhile ignoring the bell that sounds for other unsuspecting souls. In the meantime we keep on keeping our nose to...

Do you want to break my heart?
This isn't what it seems to be. You've lost your self behind thought of me. Relentless, they won't you sleep. Infectious, it's hidden there in your dreams. A shadow strung across the ground, Its longing for another mouth to feed. I told you we should never be. Now look into my eyes while they bleed. Do you want to break my...

I Want to Meet the Dead
More than those who swim well, more than those struggling not to drown— I want to meet you, who no longer breathes at the bottom of the water. Rather than those who speak as if they understand, I want to hear the words of someone who truly knows how it ends. Among the living, there is no one I wish to meet anymore— only half-hearted, liars, not even dead. How much water did you...

Premium Member I no longer want to be a child, for those years carry a thick layer of forgotten dust
I no longer want to be a child, for those years carry a thick layer of forgotten dust, where every corner hides a room where I learned to forget how to breathe, and memories are like shadows dancing silently on the walls of time. Returning would mean shattering myself on the same silent and cold corners, on the same...
