Who I Am

I am who I am
Not because I want to be, but because I have to be
I have no name, no identity
I am a blank face in a blank world
There is no color, only blacks and whites

When I open my eyes
There is nothing that surrounds me
The world is empty and silent 
I roam all alone with no one by my side
Emotions do not exist
I cannot cry, nor can I smile
Because of this, I am who I am 

As my life carries on
The days grow shorter and the nights grow longer
I sit under the stars and I stare at the moon 
The voices mock me and the faces smirk
I run, run as fast as I can 

No matter how fast my legs seem to go 
They appear to be sinking 
With every attempt to escape
I only sink more and more 
I am unable to break free from my prison 
I am unable to see what’s right in front of me 
This is who I am 

The things that I do and the things that I say 
They are what define me
They are what make me “me”
I am molded into a sculpture that I have not made myself
I am the vision of what someone else has created

I try and try to sew myself back together
But my needle is worn and my fabric is torn
Every stitch seems to become unmended 
Nothing will stay in place
Because of this, I am scattered across the floor
I can’t pick myself up
Allowing others to walk right on over me 

I am who I am
Not because I want to be, but because I have to be
I have no name, no identity
I am a blank face in a blank world
There is no color, only blacks and whites

I'M Not Perfect, But I Swear I'M Perfect For You

All your friends think that I’m crazy 
But they only see that I’m not perfect
I know 
I have my issues and only I’m to blame 
I’m not an angel
This I know better than anyone
But I swear
I will share the air that I breathe
I will give you my heart 

And I don’t feel like I’m strong enough 
I can’t walk this world alone
I need you 
My hopes, they are high
I’m not perfect
But I swear, I’m perfect for you

I’m trying real hard not to shake
I’m biting my tongue
So say my name
I just want to hear your voice 
And I wish that I had my arms around you 
But I’ll just keep dreaming instead

And there’s no guarantee that this will be easy 
I didn’t know I needed you 
And now I’m beating myself up just thinking of you 
I need a miracle
I need you to love me endlessly
But that’s impossible

I’m feeling alive with every breath I take
I’ve been struggling to make things right 
And letting you go was wrong
Now I spend another night alone
My skin is cold without your touch 

Every night I cry and die a little more each time
Knowing that I don’t have you 
Memories take me back 
It won’t ever go back to the way it was
And I wish that this time would ease the pain
And I know I’m not perfect
But I’m hoping that you’ll see me through
I’m hoping that I’ll have you 
I just want you to see
That I’m perfect for you

Don'T Fall In Love

If I see you again don’t even say “hello”
And I get the point that I should leave you alone
But I thought that I could spend every moment that I had with you
I thought I could live in your arms

You helped me for all the wrong reasons
But the worst is over now 
I can finally breathe again
I can finally lift myself back up

I know I’m good for something
I just haven’t found it yet
And I know I've got my problems
But I’m sorry

No one ever said this would be easy
And the memories are fading
All the promises you gave me have been broken
And I cannot escape the past

Inside I hope you know I’m dying
But I still see your face with every breath I take
Take my heart as you’re leaving 
I don’t need it anymore, it’s killing me

You’re all I hoped I’d ever find
I can’t forget you
And I’m thinking of all the worst things that could happen
But they already came 

I hope that you know I’m sorry
But I can’t stop crying
I’ll forget your scars if you forget mine
Hold onto me and don’t you ever leave

I know you say that I should forget you
But we both know that I'm not that strong 
And I would give up everything just to have you
I would die just to be by your side

So, don't fall in love
There's just too much to lose

Beautiful

I am Beautiful
This I do not choose to believe
But how can I be so naive?
I think to myself
“Everything about you is imperfect”
But who can really say that they’re perfect?

I hate my own reflection
It makes me cry
Just like raindrops from the sky
I don’t like who I am
But nobody said that it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

I stare at myself
I don’t like what my eyes are able to see
This can’t be me
I am broken
But it’s not my face that’s beaten
It’s my heart that’s been eaten

I am beautiful
This I have come to believe
But how could I have been so naive?
I think to myself
“Nothing about you is imperfect”
Who can really say that they’re perfect?

My reflection shines like a star
It makes me smile
I’ve never seen something such worthwhile
I love who I am
But nobody said that it was easy
No one ever said it would be this hard

I stare at myself
I love what my eyes are able to see
This can’t be me
I am beautiful
But it’s not my face that shows it
It’s my heart that portrays it

The Rain

The rain falls slowly
Pitter patter, pitter patter

I hear you whisper my name
Your eyes captivate me in a sea of lust 
I can feel your soft touch against my skin
It warms me from the crystal sprinkles that fall

Your lips feel foriegn against mine
Cold and smooth
I shiver in your arms, I fall to my knees
My thoughts are racing so quickly

The rain falls slowly
Pitter patter, pitter patter

I am forced to feel what I do not believe 
I love you
I think this, but only for a short moment
Soon, I will know the truth

Why is love so deceiving? 
It twists your words and it mends your mind
It makes you do the unthinkable
Love is the worst kind of manipulation 

The rain falls slowly
Pitter patter, pitter patter
As slowly as my tears stream down my face
They both create a sad, sad river

The droplets of water surround us
We are drowned in sorrow and suffocated by the lies
This is all while the rain falls slowly
Pitter patter, pitter patter

Reservation

Restricted access keeps us locked up inside where we cannot ever escape

Everywhere we go, white picket fences turn into iron bars and barbed wire

Safe places do not exist anymore

Even the place that we call home has become a barren jail cell of its own

Rising sun now symbolizes another day of pain and sorrow and regret

Vacant fields with no crops are only the first sign of a dying culture

A lie has been built upon the idea of a perfect and happy society

They push us all away, expecting us to live in sanctuary and hold onto our customs

"In God We Trust" they say....

Only where is God in all of this suffering?

Nowhere…..

He Writes

A lonely boy sits beneath a willow tree
He stares at the glistening stars above him
Pen in hand 
And feelings on paper
He thinks about a specific girl

The laughs and the smiles
They are unforgettable
“She makes me happy”
He writes

The tears and the heartache 
They come too easily
“I will protect her with my life”
He writes

The mistakes and bad decisions
They are only moments away
“I want only the best for her”
He writes

The lonely nights and terrible days
They appear to be constant
“I will be there for her whenever, wherever, and always”
He writes

He writes, he writes, he writes
He writes until his pages are filled with black ink
Until his pen cannot take another stroke
Until his paper has run out

He writes, he writes, he writes
He writes until he is out of words
Until love isn’t meaningful enough
Until he himself is drained of emotion

He writes, he writes, he writes
He writes because she is his world
She is his life
She is his everything

She Is Beautiful

He finds beauty in her empty eyes and fake smile
Why does he look?
Why does he stare?
Don’t deny it, don’t fight it, don’t hide it

She tries to show him something that is worthless
But his eyes seem to see right on through
“She is beautiful”
He tells her this everyday
But how can something so sad be full of such beauty?

Her scars do not bother him
Her bruises do not change his mind
He does not leave her because she is crying
Instead, he wraps her in his arms and says
“Everything will be alright, love”

So why is she beautiful?
Why does he stay?

She is not beautiful because she is attractive
She is not beautiful because she is easily taken advantage of

She is beautiful because her eyes tell a story
She beautiful because she obtains a listening ear
She is beautiful because she has the ability to love
She is beautiful, simply because she is HERSELF

For When I Come Home

I walk out the door, I say no goodbyes
With my bag in hand, I salute all the guys

I hop on that bus, I continue to wave
And before I know it, they all disappear
There’s no time for fear, for I must be brave
My destination, becoming so near

I pick up my gun, I prepare to fire
Concentrated, straight down to the wire

A shot of pain, straight to my shoulder
I fall to the ground, the blood spills like a river
My body, now as heavy as a boulder
I can taste the metal, almost like silver

I pray to God, he shall save me now
Oh please, why have I taken this vow?

I can hear the helicopter land, slow and steady
I’m lifted up high, carefully and gently 
To be taken away, I am ready
No matter what, I wouldn’t ask for this to turn out differently 

Here, my thoughts are left only to roam
Please wait for me, for when I come home

Till the End

“We’ll make it till the end,” I say
And when the end comes
We'll both know that it's over now
And when it’s over
Only God will know what we’re fighting for
And what we’re fighting for 
Is what no one else will understand
And what no one else understands
Will carry us all the way

“What is ‘the end’?” you ask

“The end” is where one of us is lying in that bed
We’re barely breathing
The other is right beside us
Praying to God that he doesn’t take you
And when he does
That’s the end….

“We’ll make it till the end,” I say
And when the end comes
We won’t be afraid
And without that fear of losing one another
We’ll know what we’re fighting for
And what we’re fighting for
Is what only we’ll begin to understand
And what we understand
Will always be expressed by a simple four letter word

Love
