Waking up In this foreign place
The walls are closing in
And I can't breath
There's no room for hope
No room for faith
A shattered dream
Rolls down my face
And no matter how hard
I seem to push
These walls are determine
To smush , me
I'm struggling
And shouting
But all I can hear
Is the echoes of my anxiety
On death row
I see my life
Like a slideshow
Past before my eyes
My ribs crack
I scream
I can't desipher
What this means
But Im not waking from this
Dream
All that will be left
Is my echoes

I am one
In a sea of a thousand
I swim among myself
Because I cannot go on
Pretending to be
Some one I am not
They ask us to morph
Our beliefs to fit theirs
With no care of how we
Feel
Only of how they can gain
From our blood sweat and tears
How they can take
From us
But never give
Its a one way street with them
And they won't stop at the
Lights
Because they don't mean a thing to
Them
Our rules don't apply to them
Because in some way
That I cannot see
They are above us
If I could raise my voice
Above the uproar
I would ask how
How they think they can push us down
Why they think we deserve less
Is it because we make less?
Now how is it our fault
When work is bad
And gas is through the roof
My mom is barely home
She comes home with bleeding fingers
Only to make just enough to pay the bills
I know she hurts
And she thinks of leaving
Everyday
But I'll be the one
To stand for my mother
When she's to weak
I'll speak for her
When she can't
I'll be her eyes
When hers won't see
I'll lead her from this world
Of this trumps this
To one that could care less
If you can afford to waste money
On things that mean nothing
Things that are expendable
That can be replaced
I'll live for a world of peace
Where differences make us smile
Where love is for anyone
Where we all respect each other

Senõr De Los Lobos
Your kingdom is falling
Mankind has no passion
For those that do not
Speak their language
But I hear your prayer Lobos
I will stand against the flame
If you will stand along side me
We will go to war  
We will fight to belong
Because I see through your eyes
We are one
Senõr De Los Lobos ~~~ lord of wolves

Sharp golden eyes
Peer from the trees
Soft rhythmic purr
Summons me
Interest peeked
A calling
Of hope
Hello?
Don't leave
I will walk among you
Sisters
I will travel the soil path
Up the hills
Past the clearing
To the cave
That seems to ward away
All the evil
Her long body
Slouches into the mouth
Golden eyes
Lighting the way
My bare feet
Against the cold stone
I grip my arms
Where do you take me
Madre De Los Gatos?
Where do you lead
Beautiful Pantera
I see
You show me my path
I will walk straight
Among you my sister
Thank you

Violins play in the backround
Of this black and white film
A love story
Boy meets girl
Girl falls in love
But this love is different
Than any high school
Love story
But it's just that
A story
Every one has an end
This one ended
With smeared mascara
And two halves
Of a heart
That used to be one
Just feel like writing about love tonight <3

Falling from the tops of the trees
But I am not scared
I see you there
Beneath the earth
Arms ready
To catch me
Your magic swarms the air
And a smile lights your heavenly face
I know I am in my place
My home
As I close my eyes
And enjoy the breeze
Because I trust
Your strong firm arms
I trust you
Our hearts as one
I can imagine your loves warmth
Burning a path to mine
Because tonight
We set the trees to flames
Of passion
The fiery hues
We reminisce
As we lay encircled
By each other
I will not leave
I am finally at peace
You found me

Had I been born a bird
With my outstretched wings
I would fly
Away from my hurt
Away from my past.....
Had I been born blind
I wouldn't have seen the
Glitch in my life
The one that ate me up
Inflicted so many sleepless nights ....
Had I been born deaf
I would've never heard
All the screams
That caused so many nightmares ....
Had I been born fast
I could've outrun the shadows
That engulfed me
In their arms
And burried me beneath
The surface
