"Time runs faster than you can expect... Enjoy this moment and every moment, Before it's too late, Till you fall apart, Till sorrow burns your heart, As you fall in an ocean of regret. I hope that I'll attain your trust, For I wish you'll be and do the best."

I Deserve to Be Alive
I might be problematic But that’s always automatic I’ll never take a dive I deserve to be alive I’ve got a checkered past The damage done will last Guilt’s beyond a nine to five I deserve to be alive I’m spinning my wheels Made no business deals Got no capitalist drive I deserve to be alive My future is uncertain And it’s my anxious burden Got no kids or wives I deserve to be alive I’ve broken every cycle Without praying to St. Michael Put down the pocket knives You deserve to be alive You deserve to have some fun You deserve to be the one Who keeps spreading the love They’ll never get enough The past is gone forever Prepare for sunny weather We’re a family, not a hive We deserve to be alive We deserve to be alive We deserve to be alive We deserve nothing less Than life’s very best
These days that take hold Crush me into pebbles when I was once stone Bring me down to the bottom of my depths The pressure pushing hard, not letting me forget My past is as present as every mistake Striking me down with every ache Rancid petals fall from within Rotting everything I put out with pretend My innards are failing, my mind corrodes Every single piece of me starting to grow cold Looking for a way, when I see no paths Falling down further, I don't know how long I will last The colors have darkened and begun to turn gray My heart sullen and the enchantment is away My imagination that ran rampant is starting to be withdrawn Lying awake in this nightmare, I continue to yearn The pages of this story continue to burn Looking through darkness, I begin to forget This illusion to entice us and devour our souls Creating my mistakes that I continue to sow I am a shell with no substance Devoid of my emotions and these vacant eyes stay lit This is me falling apart

Weight of the World
My heart rises Sinking into eternal night Covered is constellations Glistening and gleaming My angel wings allow me to take flight I'm full of grace Producing a glorifying golden light I am a exotic creature Full of different types of life Full of different types of pain Pain surrounding me like rain Pouring into my ability to cope Sending me down a downward slope My power reflects my resolve My resolve reflects my will to survive I'm an angel I'm here to save lives I have a healing touch Trading my light for your desires to die I take on the weight of the world I want everybody to be ok I'm willing to sacrifice my life for you I want you to make it through If you can live again It doesn't matter what happens to me I'll return to the heavens Your life is a priority That's my belief Giving a piece of my soul to those that are fading Straightening out those that are swaying Bringing light to those in the dark praying Please take my hand Let me help you to stand
In time, my walls close in My heart decrepit and breaking away I am losing the thought of what may be next Looking for an exit in life is not hard to get Thoughts come rampant, my eyes go blank Crashing downward, I am beginning to sink Feelings of uselessness spark within my mind Burdening everyone that may reside I struggle to explain the process inside The need to let go and wash away with the tide Harrowing sorrow clutches me close Filling my lungs until I billow smoke The weight of emptiness is too much to bare Cradling me with loneliness, I begin to ache Repeating every step until it may be too late I hear the same thing on repeat My brain abuses it and lets it deplete I cannot fathom how to escape Losing the will to hide it away Beneath the surface, it continues to burn Reaching even deeper, the pain continues to churn I cannot erase what my heart may write Trying to pretend that everything is alright I need to stop the bleeding, before the bleeding even starts With each passing
I hate being called resilient, I hate having to be at all I hate that I can tolerate all these things that make me small They say I am resilient and I can handle when things get rough They say it's good that I'm that way, they say it makes me tough I hate being called resilient, I hate having to take it all I hate it when I feel so bad, that all I want to do is bawl. They say being resilient will make me more mature They say if you are resilient, the more you can endure. I hate being called resilient, I hate when it becomes too much I hate when I get overwhelmed, and I use vices as a crutch They say it's good to keep going, no matter what the cost They say you should keep working, no matter what is lost. I hate being called resilient, I hate knowing it is true I hate why I'm resilient, I hate all that I went through They say that it's a quality that I should be thankful for They say it means I can endure, all of that and more. I hate being called resilient, I hate it

sunflowers and sun kisses
I wasn't myself
when I first met you.
I'm glad you didn't
know me then.
I was in ruins
When next I met you.
I glad we had the
Chance to be friends.
I was waiting for you.
Although I didn't know it.
I'd still be waiting for you
If your ex's didn't blow it.
I love to kiss you,
and to pull your hair.
Im always trying to hold you
No matter where.
I hope you don't drop me
On my derriere.
I think that without you
I would simply disappear.
So wipe away those tears
Sunflower.
I want to spend life with you
Until my last hour.
People say you won't make it,
People say you're not good enough,
People say you won't go far,
You defy them and trek ahead
But while you walk that little voice...
deep down inside you...
always asks...
"What if the're right?"
I watched the light leave your eyes
The life and joy fled from you
Everything that made you who you were
Just vanish
Like they weren’t even there
The friend I had shared so many laughs and fond memories
Disappeared into the aether
So many years
And now you’re gone
