Dream OnA dream can be
a passing thought;
a passionate ambition.

A dream can be
a battle fought;
a superficial mission.

A dream can be
a driving force;
a forgiving comfort.

A dream can be
a thriving source;
a deceitful consort.

A dream can thrill you;
drive you or kill you.

Beware of this, dreamers—
and Dream On.
A HeartA heart does not have eyes,
so it is blind,

A heart does not have ears,
so it is deaf,

But a heart does have a beat,
and it beats for you, my love.
My Masquerade~My Masquerade~

For the world I am displayed;
They always watch but cannot see
through my masquerade.

I feel every moment fly;
My heart is beating, pulse racing,
breath held as I lie.

My innocence I can't defend;
I know that surely this will linger
'til my very end.

I brought this all upon myself;
Mask upon mask, lie upon lie
like valueless wealth.

Dare I take these masks off – no!
My former self haunts me
everywhere I go.

False glory, false honor, false fame;
With all these masks I seem to have
forgotten my own name.
Is It Wrong?Is it wrong
That I glance up at the clouds,
Feeling the wind through my hair,
And dream of a mystifying land
Where one can be accepted no matter what?

Is it wrong
That I choose to wear jeans down past my heels,
Baggy and ripped at the knees,
Unlike all the other boys that wear athletic
Shorts, so unscathed and clean?

Is it wrong
That I ask people about their troubles,
Sometimes doing all in my mortal power
To help them surpass the simple,
Even ones I have not defeated myself?

Is it wrong
That while the few friends I have
Dance around giddily and go to
The most extreme only to impress,
But I only hang back in silent content
ContinueWhen the world strikes you down,
Continue.
When your smile becomes a frown,
Continue.
When you stumble and fall,
Continue.
When you wager and lose all,
Continue.
When the world laughs at you,
Continue.
When many becomes few,
Continue.

There's nothing else to do except...
Continue.
Bee My GirlI cried tonight
But it was not like before
When someone to love me
Was all I implored

This time the tears fell
Because my wish has come true
My prayers have been answered
In the wonder that is you

I smiled tonight
But it was not like before
When it was just a physical response
Nothing more

This time I smile
Not from the mouth but the eyes
This lost little boy
Has finally come back to life

I wrote tonight
This poem, these words
About my best friend
my love, my girl

This time it seems
That indeed you feel the same
I prayed to God for your arrival
and soon after you came
I Hate That I Love YouI hate that you're my every thought
That I wake with you on my mind
And fall asleep
To images of your smile

I hate that I adore you so
With gorgeous eyes
And sweet lips
I long to taste

I hate the way you make me feel
Like I need you to survive
As if breathing without you
Is excruciating

I hate that I yearn for you
I hunger for your touch
Every moment
Of every day

I hate the way I love you
With every beat
Of my wretched heart
That loving you keeps me alive
Yet keeps me alone
The Secret GardenThe Secret Garden:

To those who are waiting in the silent shadows;
To the sisters I've been trying so hard to find.
It is time we came together as one
For here we shall leave the past behind...

In this secret garden, my voice is clear
Soft and gentle like the flowing wind.
Yet here I am; a dirty spirit
A simple soul that sinned...

Gathered in silence, bearing cowls of night
You've come like moths, to a burning light.
These lovely witchlings, so tender and lush
Soon I will give you, a blessed blush...

Take my marking into your flesh
And bear the stigma of our ancient creed...
Tonight you feast in my humble honour
For in your b
Heartbreak MasqueradeI can't remember what it feels like to be happy...
My smile no longer shrouded in sincerity.
It is like a heartbreak masquerade, fooling everyone;
Exhausted, I remove my mask when the day is done.
I'm a professional at what I do: I hide what I feel -
When I get hurt, I pretend like it is no big deal.
In reality, it's killing me; feel my heart breaking
The sad part? My friends don't know that I'm faking.
I can't remember the sound of my laughter any more;
Feels odd when I smile, like I've never done it before.
My heart soaring with joy - well, that feeling is gone
Dreaming about another guy that isn't you feels wrong.
It is like I
Please, Save MePlease, save me
I'm going under
Please, save me
I'm drowning in my tears

Please, save me
I'm not gonna make it
Please, save me
I don't want to lose this battle

Please, save me
But you ignored my plea
Please, save me
You left me for dead

Please, don't save me
For this time, I will save myself
ExpectationsThe pressure keeps me going,
Yet holds me back.
The thought isn't comforting—
It feels like an attack.

The sort that keeps me up at night;
Why my fingernails are short.
Like a dark and looming blight;
A disheartening exhort.

Better, better, better!
The expectation is quite blunt.
Never, never, never...
Exactly what they want.

I'm not the person I want to be,
Due to expectations.
Under the eyes that never see—
My pain is their creation.
I Won't Let You Fall ApartHey, do hear me?
Take my hand.
Hurry!
Before they see!

No, I won't let go.
I won't let you fall
apart.
I can't watch you slip
away.

Yes, it's worth saving!
Hurry!
I'll hide you away from them!
Please, hurry!

Shine, darling.
See your beauty.
Don't run away.
Take my hand.

Because this is something I have to do.
I'll build the wall
I'll keep them on the other side.

I won't let you fall apart.
ThirteenThirteen.
Thirteen fears.
Thirteen haunted years.
Thirteen cold bitter tears.
Thirteen memories linger and leer.
Thirteen days pass as death nears.
Thirteen screams that no one ever hears.
Thirteen foggy futures that never come out clear.
Thirteen cries for help that die when fate sneers.
Thirteen faceless figures that hear all helpless cries without ears.
Thirteen towering clocks that chime each passing life with dusty gears.
Thirteen windows that never break against the pounding fists and bloody smears.
Thirteen words that echo, echo, echo through the insanity your mind surely bears.
The BirdsBreathe in and think of love
Breathe out and think of pain
Listen to the feeling in your heart
Not the voices in your brain

Hark the wind blowing through the trees
Ignore the dirge of modern life
Use your ears to hear the birds
and with them let your worries take flight

Glide upon the pockets of wind
Wherever the breeze shall take you
Make the journey beautiful
Rather than the place you wish to get to

Breathe in and think of the future
Breathe out and forget the past
I know the pain seems never ending
But such dismal days will not last

Hear my whispered words softly
Stirring emotions in your heart
I will offer my hand, my lo
StrandedStranded

Out of place,

Lost in space,
                    
                       What is my purpose?

Everyday,

I feel this same way

First and Forever Valentine~First and Forever Valentine~

Emerald fields stretch into hazy skies,
Like blurry colors in a painter's mind.
Gentle winds caress the grassy rise
As through your hair my fingers twine.

You are my first; my last; my forever.
I'll be content as long as you're here.
And nothing in this world will ever...
Separate the love we share.

Even among all this Valentine's drama;
You will always be mine, my darling llama.
Matthew's Gift~The Rose~

Matthew gave me a rose in June;
Chris, a ring in December.
Jonathan took me to gardens in bloom,
But it was Matthew's gift I remembered.

Chris took me out on the town in May,
Showed me places of splendor.
His stolen kiss took my breath away,
But it was Matthew's gift I remembered.

I hid my heart with false emotion,
Trying to ignore forever.
I fought to keep my thoughts in motion,
But it was Matthew's gift I remembered.

The ring on my finger is foreign to me,
Yet familiar all the same.
What's the cause of this calamity?
It's Matthew's gift that's sure to blame.
Stormcloud~Stormcloud~

[Verse 1]

Stormclouds...
Stain my window with the tears
that I don't want to see.
Somehow...
I'm silently crying for the love
that you spoiled so carelessly.

Tell me... one reason why!
Don't make... those excuses
that I always see through!
Didn't you realize...
that I loved you?

I... loved... you.

[Chorus 1]

Your memory is like a Stormcloud –!
Just won't go away;
It's lingering and lonely.
Your memory is like a Stormcloud –!
Won't leave me alone;
It's killing me slowly...

[Verse 2]

Remember...
All your fake words
that I once thought were true.
Regret...
It seems silly now
that I ever thought t

I'll Remember You

:iconscarletdevil1503:

I'll remember you
when someone steals my breath
so I can't even speak.

I'll remember you
when the rain beats so hard
I can't hear myself think.

I'll remember you
when I see a careless smile
on a young girl's face.

I'll remember you
when my heart aches
in a lonely place.

I'll remember you
when the going gets rough
and no one's there for me.

I'll remember you
when I fruitlessly wish
for things that used to be.

I'll remember you
when I see someone smile
as they hide a sigh.

I'll remember you
when someone's surprised
at the word "goodbye."

I'll remember you
when another claims to be
my other half.

I'll remember you, darling...
I'll remember and laugh.

you could write a book of "little scribbles" or you can sell them as songs.
