Shipwreck

I am contaminated,
As is the sea,
My mind is a ship,
Sunken to the deepest parts 
Of my thoughts,
It was a wreckage
That no one has discovered.

Plunging into an ocean of grief,
My lungs swallow the water.
Trying to breathe it in,
I can taste the plastic,
Not the salt.
My thoughts are the pollution
No one tries to clean

I am lost.
I am a shipwreck.

And Then Life Begins

I’m breathing but not living
I’m watching how life goes by
As I just stand there
Trapped
Unable to scream for help
I stay shackled inside of my house
Inside of my head
I want to go out and experience life,
But I don't move.
I have no clue.
Everyone is so afraid of change
But I welcome it with open arms.

As I stay in my room at night,
In a peaceful abyss,
I have a conversation with the moon.
She tells me that she only shines
When the sun lets her. 
Only in the night,
She illuminates the dark 
With the Sun’s light
She tells me that one day,
I will have my time to radiate
I must be patient
And then my life will begin

Speed of Light

If I had the speed of light,
Life would seem too easy
Life would be long
Enough to feel immortal

With the speed of light
Success would be easy..
If you count theft without being caught.
Without a worry
I would have luxury

With the speed of light
I would travel the world.
I would be living the life I wish I had
The most beautiful places in the world
Would be discovered by a single being

If I had the speed of light,
I would be faster than a bullet
From a gun of a murderer’s hand..
What would happen if I were shot?
Would death come for me..
At the speed of light?

It's My Kingdom

As our swords clash
I know I gave you whiplash
You’re so fearsome 
Even in your own kingdom

Your eyes are in flames
As I aim towards my claim
I came with game and no tame
No one even knows your name

You can barely fight
But don’t worry, I only bite
I can make you back down
And I can do it in a ball gown

I’m coming for the crown
It’s time for a showdown
