Kalmia lilies
I’ll move oceans and I’ll call the wind
To move in my favour ,spin on a whim
To forbid foul says of your being to spread
To erase false names before they even escape

To forbid your eyes to be dimmed of their light
It’s only for me to do it , it’s my birthright
I don’t care how many storms I cause
Nor how many endless wars
Your my pillar , your worth the fight

You replaced the endless green that bloomed in my heart
You replaced it with your being like it was never hard
You took it all to leave me with nonthing
Leaving in my mouth a taste similar to tar

I don’t care that we’re not meant to be
As you can see I’m still quite lonely
It’s not about you and your love for me
But about that void you could fill for me

So those who speak of our severance
Will have to learn some tolerance
Cause it is simply impractible
When I’m bathing in this loneliness
- quote from wuthering heights
The calming words of sympathy is merely infantanizing, it is not helpful nor condolencing. But to show effort is a commence of ecocentrism. It may not aid a individual in turnoiling events but will help them to see a different causeway out of their troubles.

  Those who are shown no sympathy lie still in society as their mindset changes from hope to feelings of defeate, there lives shattering before them with no crying shoulder to push them in the right direction.

Their hearts grow stone  cold as everything they know is deprived from the clutches of their  weakened hands. The only source of help being their own broken willfulness. Their scrawny bodies traveling along the rich filth walking by.

  No hope left to survive on. They walk along in a depressive state, waiting and wishing things were ameliorate.

  A single touch of the shoulder would have been enough to conserve a despite soul lost in the depts of debt.
I BLEED,
YOU BLEED,
WE ALL BLEED!!!
we bleed
the color of
red,
they say!!,
we are all equal
in, and
every kind of way,
We are All United,
Yes,
we are one,
we bleed the
color red,
all countries,  
all nations,
on this earth,
Under God's
Bright Sun!!
We All have values,
qualifications and needs,
So, let's stand,
negotiate, and
deliberate,
minus all
of the greed,
So, come on,
WE COULD DO THIS,
why beg, and
why plead???
the road is
rugged now, but
through our veins,
is RED BLOOD,
and
Remember:
WE ALL BLEED!!!!!

The Romantic
Humid air
middle of the summer
every dog and child happy to be outside
surrounded by hippies and
cheap speakers playing rock ‘n’ roll
along the river in front of us were small ferries
I can't remember what happened yesterday but
I recall the feeling of when I first saw you
turning around slowly to glance at
who I didn't know
will spend the rest of my life
dancing in back of my mind
there
was the woman whom I didn't know
will always I desire
the very, only wanted one
never will I ever have.
Memories are sometimes deadly
Savor the first days you meet.. & cut 🎬

Alienated from society
We stand together
Apart from what we know
But close to what we have
Together
Alone now this company is all I know
You here with me
Inside my head
I remember what it was like
Together

You bleed the writing out of me and it starts to
glimmer like sparkling rubies
or dry like wilted roses
there is nothing left to say
when your love is as warming
as the chilling sleet falling on
our arms in the winter

i look to my left and
you are not there
i look to the places we were and
you are not there
i walk in places we’ve been and
you are not there
out of the drafts <3

The Devil
Doesn’t tear you down
He builds you up
Until

You believe you can
Do it alone
Then he smiles
As you fall

And you always fall

If you want to know the real me,
I say: look in my eyes.
Because if you see my neat hair and clothes,
you might believe I’m okay.
So I’ll say it again: look in my eyes.
