SurvivorOn your left cheek bone, you had a long, dark scar
That you've earned when you fought their brutal war
And five broken bones in your slender hands
That you've cracked in a fight of a few damned lands
You deny but I've seen the light limp in your knee
Twisted in a ship at the heart of the sea
You pretend it was fine just to hide your pain
But I see your tears through the thickest rain
And in silent nights I can feel your cries
Just beneath my skin. They uncover your lies
The lies that you've told of how you're doing alright
Though the soldier in you is in constant fight
In silent nights, behind your shut door
You still see your fr

Taken overIt made me break my rules again
Some time I was fine but then
With no warning but fast as light
I was taken over, there was no chance to fight

I know I should stop
I know I'm doing wrong
But something in my mind it tells me
Just keep going on

It made me break my rules agsin
Some time I was fine but then
With no warning but fast as light
I was taken over, there was no chance to fight

Then I fall back down
But never in too deep
I make it out just long enough
To catch a little sleep

It made me break my rules agsin
Some time I was fine but then
With no warning but fast as light
I was taken over, there was no chance to fight

I won't fallI'll withstand it.
No matter how hard you shoot,

I won't fall.

I'm stronger than you think.
No matter how many ammo you waste on me,

I won't fall.

I'll withstand everything.
I'll repel everything you throw my way,

I won't fall.

I'm stronger than you could ever guess.
Just try and shoot me down,

I won't fall.

You'll see

Down down downTell me it's just a phase
not knowing who I am
But it's been much more than days
and I still don't understand

I feel like I am wrong
I never do it right
Oh I'm really not that strong
I don't think I'll win the fight.

Build a wall, standing tall
can't you hear my call

Pieces of my heart breaking down down down
Everytime the world is spinning round round round
Can anybody see
The pain inside of me
Or do you all enjoy just watching me bleed

The wall I'm building high
it's raising everytime
everytime I want to cry
when you make me hurt inside

Build a wall, standing tall
can't you hear my call

Pieces of my heart breaking down

This is Me, BeggingIf I could play guitar
I’d write you a song.
If I could run that far
Then I’d run all night long.
But I’m no good at that
So you’ll have to settle for this.

What is this?

It's a plea
A beg
For you
From me
Please come home
I'm all alone
And nobody understands.

I don't want you to R.I.P.
I want you here with me
But I'm not God
And He hates me
So, for now,
I guess it's R.I.P.

Lost of a puzzle pieceScare of hearing the truth
I put my hands on my ears
Wondering when it will stop,
The truth is so bright
So bright that it hurt my eyes
And I wonder how to make it stop.

Sometimes I feel like breaking this shield
And make my thoughts find your ears
But I guess it's not that easy
Sometimes I feel like laughing out loud
Showing you how much I am free
But I guess it's not happening soon.

Thinking back
I wonder when I was truly smiling
Without all those doubts
But I, can't, remember.
Looking over my writings
I wonder who that person is
That is writing so happily
I don't recognize her.

I really don't understand
Why are you so

Wait for me.I’ll be home before you know it!!
Wait for me.

It’s been two years, and I’m still waiting. We were so young when we said goodbye, weren’t we? It was just this same October day, but it was raining. It isn’t today.
We were sharing my umbrella outside the terminal, so close I could feel your breath against my cheek when you looked down and smiled.
-I am going to miss you so bad.
I said it with a grin, it was a promise and a joke – all rolled into one fateful sentence.
-You’re so daft.
I laughed against your chest.
-I know, right?
I could feel your breath huff out of your chest, my arms wrapped loosely around you, your arms pressing my shoulders to you. It was harder than you let on, saying goodbye – wasn’t it?
-I’m not pulling away first.
You muttered it into my hair and I released my arms, pushing against your chest. Hold on, girl. What are you doing?!

A Writer's Romance-"You're a writer, aren't you?"-

Those were the first words she spoke to me.
At the time, I was packing up, getting ready to leave the library.

I had another long day, spending the majority of my free time at the library,
loitering around on my laptop:
Staring at my open wordpad, wondering what to write.

Just as I was readying to leave, this girl, out of nowhere, asks me if I'm a writer.

-"I like to think I am."-
Thats the only answer I could give her.
I had taken up writing as a hobby,
But no matter how hard I tried, all of my work felt underwhelming.

-"Please...
Could I get you to help me write a poem?
If that is too much trouble tha

RequiemAs we ride into battle,
I wonder, "Is this our salvation?"
Charging into the fray,
"Is this my last day?"

Slaughtered like so many cattle
Is this our damnation?
One rattling, shuddering breath
Before that merciful death.

"Spirit cleansed and virtue reborn."
Comforting words for those who mourn.
Lies told, solemn oaths sworn
"Damned be those who scorn."

Let us end this devilish enterprise
That which has stolen so many lives
In the name of land and resources
And these pitiful, imaginary political discourses.

Let us be able to say
That the hell called war;
That it is no more,
It ends this day!

(Do Not) Hide YourselfDon't let the light touch
Your opened eyes
Sightless, there's never been such
Vibrant, open skies.

There's no one around.
You don't have to hide,
You won't be found.
In me you may confide.

Pull off that horrid mask
Imposed by our empty society
(It's an arduous, painful task;
Not often performed in sobriety.)

Let shine that inner fire
Of your whole being entire
Let yourself be truly known
(You might find you're not so alone.)

Break the chains of expectation,
Rise above your assigned station.
Free yourself from isolation.
Become your own creation.

Why hide yourself?

So What Do I Do?If only I could read your mind
If only I could interpret you emotions
Understand what you're going through
See through your eyes
Hear through your ears
Feel through your heart
If only I knew how to help you

But I can't
And I don't
And it's killing me
So what do I do?
Tell me.

I FellI fell down into a hole of despair,
and felt a pain that no one can bear.
Lost in the dark and stuck without a way,
I feel less pain the longer I stay.
My feelings and emotions are slowly numbing,
my hopes and my dreams are already crumbling.
I fell down and now I can't get back up,
now all I can see is a half empty cup.
Lost my strength and lost my will,
all I can do now is just stay still.
I look up to see the bright eyes,
staring at me while my soul slowly dies.
One step and another yet I still can't see the light,
another step, and I fall back into the night.
Here is a darkness I cannot stand,
my hope is holding on by the l

I'll wipe off your tearsTrust me when I say this, everything will be alright
I’ll be here, to comfort you every moment of your life
Cry on my chest if you like, only if it lets you feel right
Because I will always be here, right by your side

I know some things can be unexpected,
And sometimes the bad can’t be evaded
But I’ll try my best, so you can be able to rest
And I’ll try my best to relieve you from stress

Because I care too much to leave you with pain
It tears my heart to see you like this again
You’ve told me to step back, but it's too sad and tiring
I promise you, this will be the last time you’ll be crying

-this windowpane loneliness
has devoured too many stars
making love to ocean beds.

Isn't home supposed to be,

You say I lie,
but that's not true.
You just say that,
cause I don't agree with you.

Are you god, are you king
is there a reason I have nothing to bring?

I wanna go, I wanna break free.
I want to go somewhere,
where I won't be punished just for being me.
Let me stay, let me relax.
That's all i'm asking for,
A moment free of tasks.

I slip and fall,
Forgot it all.
Making a mistake is,
human after all.

Or is it not?
Oh I forgot.
Since I am not you,
that's something I cannot.

from an average girl.
You may think it is wrong,
But you're not the intire world.

I am not a princess,
i'm not a beauty queen.
Maybe i am restless,
Nobody's lived my routine.

How i'm jealous of everything she's got.
Everything I want, everything i'm not.

That girl's got everything,
she can really sing.
Every boy likes her,
and she's goodlooking.
That girl has got the world,
in the palm of her hand.
Why can't she understand.

All their eyes staring,

I just can't do it right.
That's what you say everytime,
Think about it every night.

The silence it kills me,
it gives me so much time.
To think of the eyes I see,
Reflected, they are mine.

For some reason, I can't be who I want.
I can't be the right person, I just sing my song.

Dissapointment,
To mother, father, friend,
Can't obey her rules.
Cause of me he can't stay cool.
I'm not good enough.

Now here's another day,
That i've just screwed up.

'Haven't you done enough?'

There's things that you don't know,
Like how much I hate to see.

You've buried underground.
Get up,
and turn your life around.

Put your wishings,
on a hold for some time.
But now,
Get up and let it shine.

People think you're crazy,
Cause of the dreams your chasing.
They try to make you stop,
But you're ready for the top.

Follow the road in front of you,
Once you start, people will do it too.
See what you didn't see before,
Put your soul in everything you're going for.
There's no more you can do,
Dream of dreams coming true.

Don't make a scene,
They don't all need to know.
For you,
Not for them, make a show.

PoetryIf i were to be pretty,
and you were to love me.
Would that change my sight,
of the world in front of me?

Always I wear grey,
'cause it suits my soul.
Undefined,
nearly invisible.

If weather changed with feelings,
And the stars are always bright.
Would that change the way,
you look at me tonight?

They say who laughs last,
Laughs the longest.
What if you've never laughed
at all?

I want to fly away,
up, in the sky.
down, back to earth.
I want
I want to go.
Away, anywhere, nowhere, somewhere.
Just go,
Leave, let go, live.
I want to fly away,
somewhere I can stay.

Love it! So very easy to relate to. Actually, I've written something along this line of thought as well. I love your choice of words, so emotive, and it has a nice flow.
