Against the Odds

There is a girl
In a world
Far away from here
Where no fear
Can ever be conceled.
Her irritations are followed by 
cathartic absolution
And even on the most stormy of 
nights,
She glistens in the invisible,
Shinning light.
Her heart; 
Can see no wrong
Her eyes; 
Brighter then the sun upon dawn
She is what they all strive to be
Perfectly catalized.
In the depth of the sea,
They chide and chastize
Every move she makes,
However she will never break
And time after every melancholy 
time
She astonishes even the 
unsurprised.
Her charismatic way,
Brings even the doomed back to 
life.
Against the odds,
she's shinning 
Even in the dark
While shes crying 
You cant miss her spark
Like superwoman
No one can hurt her now
She shines
Returning hope back to this desolite 
town.

Do Better

Sacrifice 
Courage 
Wisdom 
And pain
All of life’s lessons
Played out like a delusional game
Success has been feared 
Strengths have been tested
Dreams demolished 
Although some wrongs may never be righted
The truth will always remain with you
Whether you decide to change one moment
Or even an entire life time
The power rests in our hands
Our imaginations
And the passion that fuels our flame
To do better
Live wiser
And die peacefully
With no regrets 
No matter how substantial your mistake
Now is never too late
Or fate may have already been decided
But if we dig deep enough
And let the anger subside
The limits of our potential
Will be greater than the sky.

Searching

Everyone has their skepticisms, 
Fears,
And pessimistic views, 
But if we live our lives looking at the glass half empty, 
Rather than half full, 
We'll spend our whole lives in search of that mythical full glass.
Instead of searching aimlessly 
Throughout a mess of jumbled up,
Emotion scrambling 
Circumstances,
Be thankful for the now,
Don't wait until it has already passed you by.

Cross Your Heart

Cross your heart
And promise nothing but lies
Laugh at my pain
And stare me in the eyes.
The sins you've made
The people you've hurt
Is it really any wonder
Why you now feel like dirt?
The acid of your words
Eats through everything
Destroying happiness
Murdering love
Burning laughter
Compromising hope.
But the one thing you don’t see
Is the only one being hurt
Is you.
Your hope diminishing
Your happiness vanishing
Your laughter ending
All for nothing
But a few minutes of someone
Else’s pain.

To Love Is To Hate

Help me come to my sences 
Before I die here,
Are you alive? 
Can you lean in to me? 
Just for tonight, 
Thats not the question.
 Its not even worth the risk. 
Maybe you should let us go, With 
one last kiss. 
You will hate youself, 
When all is said and done, 
As the poison falls down from you 
lips,
We are surely gone.
 I dont think thats the question 
I think we were wrong, 
Too young to know the difference 
Too numb to play along. 
We drove the blade in, permanently 
severing the only love we've ever 
known.

What It Feels Like

Strength has become my weakness,
Withering away my soul.
Fighting to make it right
Turns out,
Ive only been diminishing my life.
I used to hold on;
Druing all of the blistering hurt,
To the little moments of your love,
Still knowing how quickly you may 
reverse.
With my optimistic views
Fogging up lifes realistic lense,
Im left to wonder;
What can i do to cleanse?
The impurities you've created,
The nightmares you've caused,
And the worry
I'm overwhelmed with,
Because Im left to fight alone.
