What happens when you've made,
All the mistakes you can make?
What happens when that part of you
That holds you up breaks?
What does it take
to make that part of you,
that you hate,
how do you make that fade?

Bless your soul
Your a rolling stone
Travelling down this,
long hard road
You use your inner strength
Yeah we got faith
We all know our
Trust in love
Is never misplaced

I've been killing off the demons
in my dreams
But they somehow come back
And grab a hold on me
How can I erase that pain?
How can I escape that fate?
When it's so deeply encrypted, into my brain?
Have you seen the strain I face?
Have you been to this place?
You know the part of you,
that you can't escape
There must be a way to clean the slate
Grab yourself an empty plate
So that you can start again
Or at least that's something I can dream

Bless your soul
Your a rolling stone
Travelling down this,
long hard road
You use your inner strength
Yeah we got faith
We all know our
Trust in love
Is never misplaced

I've seen the dark
Where red eyes linger
I've seen the fire
That burns away
the core of your soul
How can you come back from that all
We've all been low and knee deep
In the quicksand of life, it seems
But this is what happens
when you're buried six feet deep
And you're trying to get out
But you can't breathe
You've tried to use others
To get you out
But there only seems,
to be one way now
You need to dig your way out
Of this underground

Bless your soul
Your a rolling stone
Travelling down this,
long hard road
You use your inner strength
Yeah we got faith
We all know our
Trust in love
Is never misplaced

I don’t want ying and yang,
I don’t want a balanced scale,
I want someone to glimpse my crazy
And join me as we raise hell.

I don’t need a strong shoulder,
I don’t need uplifting arms,
I need someone who knows how,
To turn off all the alarms.

I don’t care for caressing words
I don’t care for your heroic deeds
All I care for is for you to stand loyally
Through all my strange feats.

though I only own
one meager brain cell
it has through life served
me exceptionally well

of a singular character
in its decision making
not being influenced by
an alternate undertaking

the cell has always known
how to opine
there's a beauty in the way
it does clearly define

one cell of independence
not relying on co-dependence
of the tack only unto me
coming with a lifetime guarantee

She is a wildflower
Dancing in the wind so blissfully
Rays of sunshine caressing her so delicately
Drawing out her brightest hues of Blues and yellows with a touch of white
She's gorgeous and doesn't even know
She's been stepped on so often she would do anything to be picked so her mind can
Be put at ease and give her inner peace
Even with her bent steam and missing leafs
Everyone fails to see her inner beauty
The strength she posses to stand tall
Is truly a sight to see
Even during the worse of storms where
her roots are drowning in a suffocating
Flood of hopelessness and fear of losing herself
She finds a way to dance in the rain

I'm 18
Where am I in this life
I was 14
I knew where I was heading
I'm like a tidal wave
The ocean
Nuances of blue and black
Calm before the storm
Raging in different directions
Every single way
I'm able to go in all directions.
The sun sets behind my horizon
The wind is blowing
Taking me east
Now west
Calm before the storm.

I don’t want to be whole,
With you by my side.
I want to be myself
To the very day I die.

I want to be strong
Independent
And free.

I don’t want to lean on you
Or for you to lean on me.

I have never viewed myself
As the type of girl to care
For all the attention,
Flashing jewelry,
And gorgeous hair.

I have never seen myself
As the type of girl that would
Need a man
To do every thing she could.

I will stand strong and proud.
Maybe you’re by my side.
But I will always be myself
To the very day I die.

I am a storm.
I will rip you apart
Yet leave you wanting more.

I am a tornado
Brining you into my vortex
Spitting you out with a spinning head,
And tattered body.

I am a tsunami
Spilling past the shore line,
And leaving chaos in my wake.

I am a lingering soul
Wandering past you without seeing
Begging for a greater freedom.

I am a sly fox.
Slipping in and out of your fingers,
Ready to wander this world alone.

She's not like all the other people out there. She has no one but herself. She has many friends but she doesn't have that one bestfriend that would always stay by her side. Indeed, she gets sad about this.

Then she realized,
Maybe she is meant to be independent.
To depend on no one but only, herself.

And this realization has helped her build herself better. Now, she is ready to face and conquer every obstacle by herself.
Her silence
Pierces tge ear drums
And makes introspective
equal easy
To predict her levee overflow
Is an art form
That many mouths water for
One must possess her
Body and soul
To truly empathise
With her
Tsunami
