Standing alone under the willow tree
Pale, lifeless leaves falling around her
Without strength she tries to catch them before they reach the ground
But fails every each time
The leaves just keep on falling
She doesnt want to step out into the bright light
Just wants to stay in the cold shade under the same tree
As the years passed, one by one the leaves fell
Until there was no more leaves and only the branches of the tree showed
She felt the pain touch her skin as the light embraced her
She didnt have the protection that the tree offered for her before

So either way..she had to step out someday...

Dear saint from the heavens that purify you
Why must you paint your hate on the ones who have the same flesh and bones as you do
Do not bring the devil inside who corrupts your mind
Because it will surely cut through your eyes which blinds
The vivid colors you encircle your world with, please don?t drain out the colors and blacken the world which we would?ve loved to live in.
Peace, love, and harmony was in your eyes which a cross lit within but now it slowly fades away while your heart painfully parts.
Do not be afraid o holy one or lose faith being that you are still not yet gone.
For you must save yourself before you become undone.

spotlight
she gently touches her everything. her world.
sits down and the songs from piano seam through the air
the air which she cherished and breathed
when she played on her piano her world would light up
but one day the notes she played wasnt true to wut she heard anymore
everyday her tears would try and reach out for it
but she could never make the notes right
the notes that she ever so loved
the piano which she wanted to play on forever
but the sounds of the notes were never returned
always wrong with empty feeling...
without music..the notes meant nothing
but she could never let go of it
never could admit to herself that the piano she loved was the past
she falls down to her knees and black emotions covered her tortured face
she looks up into the night sky and takes the air in which gently blows across her face..suddenly realizes dat theres more to her world than the air she lived off of from the piano..the notes she loved.. the notes that was from the piano.
She stands up...doesnt even look back at wut she lived for..and shuts down the lights.

I hate being nice sometimes
I hate being mean sometimes
But this is who i am
Why do i always try and understand everyone??
Whats it for??
Sometimes i just wanna scream out that i hate everyone
Sometimes i wanna scream out that i love everyone
What way am i suppose to be?
The me who has so many faces?
Or the me that i should fix?
Why do i have to put myself through this?
Isnt this my choice to carry on?
Sometimes i dont want to go by whats right or by whats wrong
Why do i have to do whats right?? I dont want to because it coincides with society too much, why dont i just do what my own morality tells me?
I'm sick of people throwing their lectures and their own morals at me
Why dont they just shutup and get out of my face?
I dont care if people spit out ideals
I dont care even if they cant follow em
Because thats just how humans are
As long as they acknowledge those ideals then whats the big deal??
So shut the f*k up and stop lecturing me
Everyday, i walk through this path hopeing to reach for something
But i guess i just have to stil keep on reaching
Dont you tell me well thats life and you cant always have everything happy
i know that, why do you have to remind me when thats just plain common sense?
Life will have those hard times
Reality sucks so sometimes people become something theyre not

Here's two I wrote recently:

I dance 'round my beloved
Among rose-purple mist
And ethereal moon shadow
Still in a forbidden dream
Embracing buried desire.

***

And so it is
This is my time
This is the new time
Old is not welcome
No longer can I let it all happen

I am a new warrior
I have missions
My own plans
My very own reality
Because I've outgrown yours

Here I stand ready
To tackle my old myths
And break free
Of the shackles by which I've been so long bound
Smiling fiercely
I now march forward.
