Pirate

One day  I want to become a pirate
I want to get lost in the deep blue sea
One day my anchor will leave the marks behind
 guided by the warm bright sun 
Followed by the welcoming wind.
Never did I imagined that I would set sail on the deep blue sea
Never did I imagined that the anchor would leave the bay and hit land 

Guided by a warm bright rays of the sun
The peaceful sound of the wind, brings so much enjoy.
All the other pirates want gold
All I want is Paradise

The day i met you I became that pirate 
I got lost in your deep blue eyes 
Your welcoming laugh left marks inside me 
Your warm bright smile guided me to my paradise

Loving 
Make believe wanted
Both 
Make a perfect suit

Point of View

Point of view 

One day I'll leave this world behind 
Before I leave please forgive me for all the tears,heart and head aches I have given you

As I'm writing this tears fall hitting my bed of sorrow 
Every word I write another dagger hits my heart, deeper and deeper they hit.
The pain is to great to bare,I just took few pills to numb the pain,but here I continue to write

In your eyes,Im a failure,a loser and worthless
I'm sorry if I made it seem that way. It wasn't like that before
You look at me and see a pity fool and treat me as a joke.
In my eyes you were perfect even when I knew your imperfections 
Treating you the best that you deserved and noting less.

I don't know what I did wrong but it kills me when I disappoint you knowing that I'm making it worst.

One day I'll make it right and gain back want I lost from you

Its getting to hard to write,harder to breath and I'm drowning in my agony.
A couple more pills should help

The pills reveal best memories we had together, and now every word i begin to write the daggers are sharper and they  pierce the heart and hit my soul, uncontrollable laugh takes over 
And tears of joy begin to flow.
My eyes are becoming heavy, I could hardly keep them open, I see you in the distance trying not to blink because I know you are an illusion. I feel my head bobbing, I see you getting closer to me,I smile, and I whisper hope to see you soon,I don't know where I going hopefully I'm looking down upon you and not looking up,just know I'm proud of you

Real

Real
All alone 
The smile becomes a frown 
All alone 
The laughter becomes a cry
The Mask has been removed 
Bring on the tears
All alone 
Kindness becomes anger 
All alone
Love becomes hate
The suit is off
All alone 
 Your true self is exposed

Afraid of the Dark

Afraid of the Dark 

Growing up as a kid I was afraid of the Dark 
Afraid of monsters lurking around my room 
Afraid of their eyes piercing through the darkness
Afraid of them grabbing my legs and pulling me into the darkness with them
Pulling the covers over my head would put me to ease. 

Now as adult I'm still afraid of dark
The monsters evolved into demons
Afraid demons just stand there in the dark 
Afraid of their eyesight burning my skin
Afraid of the demons because they don't just want me in the darkness like the monsters, they want to torture me emotionally. 
Pulling my covers over my head would put me at ease back than, but now they get under the covers and whisper into my ears.

The Pit

The pit

Hello she said 
The pit of my stomach dropped 
An angel spoke 
The butterflies woke 
My mind is blank, thinking of something slick, but mute I become.
Bye she says and walks away 
She leaves a beautiful scent, and leaves a  trail of feathers 
she flies off

Time came and went 
Don't know how I managed to gain someone like you, kind, gentle, and caring. Every word you have said had meaning to them.

Over time my eyes realized your true lies 
All I gain was pain yet 
All that joy that I gained, while you stayed 
Made me realize the mistake I made
Knowing you were fake ...Your words  no longer left meaning , leading me to lean on hopes and dreams that will never be. 

Hello she no longer spoke.
An silence succubus
The pit of my stomach turned sour
The moth awoke.
Countless  things I want to tell you
But I bite my tongue 
She walks pass with a limp, she no longer has wings covered in feathers they are replaced with a thin layer of skin
an unimaginable foul smell fellows 
she stumbles away.
