Do I give you the sweetest
oxygen to inhale
In exchange for you love
Your cravings are too much
You're carving yourself into wood pieces
Don't light your torch too fast as rain may come
I'll follow the ends of your mud prints

Where your soul is dismissed
You rely on the truth for finding a reason
To exist, love, hate, and perish

Bones to ashes we become
magnify on the time of losts and gain
How can we live when we're all struggling to breathe?

Truths become lies
Beauty becomes a phase
An illusion to find a reason to smile
And ask ourselves what made us happy while we lived

My understanding of how such a ****** up illusion can be so ugly that it becomes beautiful to indulge in the act of of finding who you are

What's a day when it's always night?
Ask yourself away

Years of regrets
Drowning me in my sleep
Preventing me from moving
I'm missing something that'll never be rightfully mine.
Years of self torture
Self pity
Now I awake with carvings of my holy death set me free
Set me free for all the hours it'll take to rid this lost
Rid me of my desires
I find my lost in others but it's never the same
Touches
Tears
Breath
Words
Stubbornness
Compassion
Jolly faces happy to see me at ease from labor
All the days and nights blink at me in my face
She's not here
She won't be here
I find her often but she's not mine
I worry her no more  
I'm consumed by emptiness  
Rid me of the memories of her
Set me a new life so I can make it better next time around

By: Leory Santana Dawn
I'm tired of the emptiness I can feel myself getting closer and closer to finding my own solution
Night wrapped in night
came to take me
my bones shattered
my vessel was cast away
Day wrapped in day
Awakened me
I've became whole
A new breath
A new beginning
New opportunities

By: Leory Santana Dawn
A lie  was told
It's free for them
Others spend years paying
To breath cost a lot just as well as sleeping
A lie that was told
We die as they strive to live forever robbing from the innocent, the poor, and the dead

They ****
They take
They lie
They destroy

While we're in ******* for such crimes
A free country
If only my laughter was heard
Where is this free country?

Our rules were founded by criminals
That's even more hilarious
We beg
Give our lives
Make many more sacrifices

They smile
It's a joke to them
A sick joke

A free country for them
We dwell in it

Be careful
Come back as you left
No bruises
No death
Be careful
Come back with open arms
No sorrow
No headache
No bad tongue
Come back as you left
Don't let the rain catch you
Stay dry
No wet clothing smell
Don't let the unknown bring you back
To me dead
By: Leory Santana Dawn
They'll call me crazy
I have no care for this realm
I'll find you on the other side with open arms
Cracking smiles
Tiny waterfalls from your eyes
I can sleep forever knowing that I'll find you in my dreams
They'll call me crazy for not being able to let you go
But I know where my happiness lies
I've promised to visit you every night
Now I'm promising to stay
I hate to see you're face turn with emptiness when I awake
I've made my decision



By: Leory Santana Dawn
You
I fancy you
Why can't you see?
Are my sacrifices not meaningful?
You look past my way whenever I admit I've fallen
Why can't you hear?
Are your ears stuffed with wax?
If so you must remove the residue
There's a resolution
A resolution that'll cause you to notice me
I'm tired of being invisible
I would lay my hand upon yours but I'm afraid you'll feel nothing
Is it all pointless?
Am I your mistake?
Am I my own mistake?
Don't answer
I don't wanna know the sad truth

Blooming in the garden
So many life forms
So many flowers
My favorite of all blackthorns
Slow pacing in the garden
Windiest of the days and seasons
My favorite scene
My hands brushing against the plants I can't name
I listen to nature sing to me different songs
Crickets of the night
They came so early to sing me
A fine lady's lady bug resting on my shoulder
How thoughtful
Such beauty leaves me speechless
I get tongue tide
My skin crawls
I wanna peel myself
I wanna break free
My sadness is everlasting
Take me away
I scream
Take me where the sunlight doesn't hit
Take me where the rain never reaches
Dig me a whole deeper than six feet
Toss my body where people afraid to go at night
Take me away
Take me.... ( weeping in tears )
I just wanna disappear
I don't belong here
You ask me where's my place in the world
I'll tell you about a place where only the dead goes
I'll tell you where the worms live
