Bully

you pick on the innocent
pray on the weak
leave the unwanted in your dust
harming all in your path

they go home
bruised and beaten
filled with tears
a lump in their throats

still breathing
still a love in their hearts 
yet they have more strength
than you ever will

Crying Red Tears

I hold it in
falling apart inside
close my door
walk up the familiar stairs
reach for my only friend
no questions asked
not a doubt in my mind
i tug at my wrist
let my arms Cry Red Tears 
full of pain desire hate
tape up the emotions
put away the fears
so i can hold it in 
and let my arms Cry Red Tears...

Pollution

Black smoke covers all
children animals run
but they can't escape

Color Blindness

Oh, you are so wise
judging with your eyes
what you see
merely a figure
something to despise.

Oh, you are so sympathetic
kind to those who seem pathetic
If you could look beyond skin 
you'd see a soul free of sin.

Oh, you are so kind
living with closed eyes
judging all mankind
If only we were color blind.

Give Peace a Chance

im tired of waiting
we cant do it alone
no not on our own
their thrills
so violent
they're killing 
burning 
everything in sight
you sit and wait
do you think its alright?
its bringing the world to its knees
but what can we do
if were not doing anything?
violence doesn't wait
peace can do great
great things
just give it a chance
if it doesn't work 
then you can go back to...
hurt

Take Me Back

take me back to...
when i was young
before i felt like my life was done

take me back to...
the love i felt
back to when my heart would melt

take me back to...
just a touch
now its hurts just too much

bring me here to...
letting go
not holding on to where love wont grow

take me back...

In the Moonlight

It 'twas a quiet day
dreary and not the slightest bit gay
as i walked down the hillside
the town was barely visible with my disturbed sight
when i was near the main road on my way home
i had noticed i was utterly alone
i bolted for my house not a mile away 
as the quiet seconds of loneliness had felt like days
i came tumbling to the house and as i opened the door
the quiet engulfed me it seemed more and more
it was dark but the moon was full
giving off a blue light the opposite of dull
as i scanned the room searching for a light i found my back door to be opened wide
in that second my heart had stopped
and in the moonlight my eyes had caught
a man (or it seemed) was watching my every move
i was too startled to blink
for in the light which had only sought his face
i saw the eyes of a monster and my stomach started to sink
as it crawled, its feet seemed out of place,
the floorboards creaked and it uttered my name...

The First Snow

white frost covers everything
theres not a place where it cant be seen 
it twinkles and glows
through the scarce rays of sun
it flutters and blows
carried away by the gentle winter wind
seeping through my skin
not a sound can be heard
no one dares utter a word
for the earth has been covered in white and all people are silent...

If Only In My Dreams

eyes
green like forests
hair
so light
touched by the suns warmth
cheeks
covered in freckles
angel kisses
lips
kissed by pink roses
voice
stolen from angels
beautiful 
quiet
hands
soft and gentle inside mine
delicate innocent
never letting go
only in my dreams

Monster

Kill this monster
growing in me
his threat to kill
makes me believe 
i'm all alone
the room is spinning
it starts to groan
i know i'm not alone
kill this thing
let me breathe
his arms hold tight
speaks to me in the night
but you can't see
his eyes blaze right through me
his grin swallows my body
you can't hear 
he whispers in my ear
"Just hold tight,
I'll find you in the night."
kill this disease 
creeping over me
crawling in my skin
my ugly evil twin
kill this monster...
Don't
Let
Him
Win.
