I know the true meaning of autonomy
It isn’t written in any colonialist’s decree
I’m not my farther, i'm no refugee
You’ll never see this girl living without liberty
You're more likely to find a fish in the Dead Sea
To see Palestinians get human rights like Israelis
**** with my freedom and i'll send you to eternity
I can handle anything-werewolf, banshee, or zombie
no human or his fetters can rob my soul of being free
Don’t believe it-try me

How can the sun be so high in the sky
While i'm down here dull, barely alive
Why does it get to shine so brightly
When I try my hardest and all my efforts spite me
How can I be like these rays, born from stars
And nourish life, let the fools look on Mars
No rainbow or aurora would compare to me
I would make certain everyone was aware of me
But I can't make present the shades or color
And in darkness my brilliance fades & suffers
So I hide til the sun is shining overhead
As i must hide until the day I am dead
Cause I know that I'm no star
But **** physics, why can't I radiate as far
another rewrite...that's almost exactly the same

It's always been a lie.
I was naive to even try,
to all along comply,
when I heard the hue and cry.
I continued to deny,
he had a finger in each pie.
So eat up while you lie,
in the bed you made, where I hope you die.


My hopes are to never see him again but dying sounded much more poetic :)

With every passing instant i'm,
seeking the sanctity found in rhyme.
Hardhearted like in my approach,
I may look weary but i've never lost hope.
It’s only cause time has turned me cold,
so many tribulations, you'd think i was old.
So with every breath, I seek experience,
steadfast like, honor gains with perseverance.
From the sun's descent to its rising,
everything inside me begins devising.
All the life within me is surmising,
any doubt I am now disguising.
I hope to hear all of the words,
as loud as the hills beckon for shepherds.
And I hope to grasp the heart of each line,
and define, the knowledge left to the whims of time.

How can the sun be so high in the sky
While i'm down here dull, barely alive
Why does it get to shine so brightly
When I try my hardest and all my efforts spite me
How can I be like this ray born from the stars
And make way for life, only fools search Mars
No rainbow or aurora would compare to me
I would make certain everyone was aware of me
But I can't make present the shades or colors  
And its in darkness that my glory fades & suffers
Violently it shudders, so I hide until sunshine's overhead
Like i will hide until the day I am dead
Cause I know that I'm no star
But **** physics, why can't I radiate as far

Why speak when words become weak,
And in-unique, forever alone and meek?
Because all you want is in the darkness,
So hear my lesson and mark this.
Happiness will never meet you,
and your prince will never seek you.
You will die unknowing,
from your heart with blood flowing.  
Beating and pumping,
all of your life into nothing,
You'll be a stain on the soil,
to the dust and the rain despoiled.

Nobody can define me
There are no words that can accurately describe me
I am my own being
No one else's experience shares the same meaning
Therefore, life is complicated
And your opinions are overstated
They bring you to insult your own existence
Causing you to become your own hinderance
I know the thought of thinking is intimidating
But you must do so before you begin stating
Meaning must be developed and formed
Old beliefs must be adorned
To share ideas in the future, as in the past
Communication belongs to the creative and steadfast
