You all have
A little bit of
"I want to save the world!"
In you

I just want you to know
That it's ok if you only
Save one person and
It's okay if that person
Is you

Your image still sits
under the red traffic lights
On the other side.

And to watch you whilst
Dancing between the painted
Lines of pedestrian lane,

Your scent left me unmoved.
And to your unnoticed tears
That fell beneath the concrete.

To be chosen by your smile
might be the ugliest way to
Say goodbye to this ugly world.

We could both leave this place,
Cure you over the stars
And be at the moon but

You kissed the dust,
and bled the pavements -
And no one came to save us.
If my poems can put your suicidal thoughts down,
I keep on being a writer.
(even if I'm not.)

I'll keep on finding
the very best metaphors.
(Sorry, I know they're not.)

I've been feeling...


like a king or a weak joker
putting my hopes in the sky
hoping the rain will heal my pain
trying like a madman to be normal
all roads lead to the same place
confused,bruised and abandoned by my mind
i cut and fought, thinking if i am right i will be alright!


the fog touching my arm of life
making sense for me it s fantasy
love got me feeling estranged
disarranged by the rays of shame
sensing my name burning in flames
i still hope your eyes might make it all in good name!
divine comedy

i don't hear the whispers anymore
neither do I see the flashing lights.
my bed has become a graveyard,
where my blood is a fountain
and my chest opened
for the flies that drink brown liquor
and spit through rotten teeth
for the worms that deceive their own sisters
ending lives just for grinding teeth.

How have I come to hate myself?

You opened the gate again,
You got the keys,
You unlock from the chains,
You opened the door,

You had the ropes,
To tie everything and gets inside.
When loves breaks the rules,
From the codes of a broken hearts.

Once you open again
Once you fool again
Once you fall again,
and it's once for a life time.

Don't stop the music
Don't wake up

When reality was reality gone,

The Rose is dying,
And it's already really die.

Save the day,

Save me,
Till I learn to open my eyes,
Without you till the hurts is over.

It's a beautiful lies.

Save the day,
Caused to breath away came from your air,
The thirst to sip from your water.
The joy was made from you.

Save the day,
When hurts and pain comes again,
When tears fall again,
When glasses was broken again,

The crusted world happened again,

Don't need to broke everything and anything else's innocented,
Don't needed to die,

To love again;
To find love again;

To found in love again,
Unfolds the broken books,

Find the pieces of a broken heart,
Change the story,

Live everyday are saved that it's forever and save the day.

I could tell right from the start there was much more to your heart,
for all those little things that made you smile.
I really didn't want to want you like I did.... (do)
but there were depths to you that were so beautiful I needed more,
I craved to know that side of you.... of one so pure.
but you should have saved yourself.
I wanted to know every secret you kept hidden away inside.
I wanted to know when you spoke what was going through your brilliant mind.
there was so much more than meets the eyes.
you always chose your words before you spoke.... just another reason you should have saved yourself.
I dove in without giving you a second to breathe, forgetting everything I wasn't and everything you were.
I could tell from the very start that I weighed heavy on your heart.
If only I had the strength to turn around,
or only you the strength to save yourself.
You were just so pure, not yet tainted by this world as I.
you knew of sorrow, but not yet have it break you.... until I.
really you should have saved yourself and find someone else.
but it was to late now....
to far in to turn around.
we let our feelings take control....
when you really should have been saving yourself....
A heart like yours is rare to find....

Brave Hero,
You wish to save the world?
With your aspirations, you can run for miles
With your dreams, you can burn through metal.
With your hopes, you can destroy even mountains.

But, Brave Hero!
You must learn your lesson!
Running is only avoidance.
Burning is only rage.
Destroying is only vengeance

Oh, Brave Hero!
You must know these three truths!
Know them in your body.
Know them in your mind.
Know them even in your soul.

Brave Hero,
It's okay if you only save one person.
Itโ€™s okay if that person is you.
Itโ€™s okay.
Modern day crusaders,
Don't use swords.
For you don't need a blade,
To follow a God and reform.

So go preform,
And understand.
There is a non-violent way,
To save the day.
Choose peace today, tomorrow, then do it again the next day after that.

I'm not a poet
Don't speak the language

Death follows (a lantern-lit, moss-draped carriage)
Offers me a ride (so kind)
But it's not my time (forโ€”for;
give me,
get me)

I'm not a tortured soul
Just trying to be understood

Please? Won't someone save me?
(Whereโ€”
oh
whereโ€”
am... I?)

I'm just writing on this journey to the end
