Divide
Two flames burn within the soul.
Within the heart, beneath the folds,
Young flames dance boldly from the start,
While the old grow faint yet never cold.
The tender warmth feels twice the same,
Where the flames play love in mindless games.
Oh perplex bond with olden flame,
When did mine heart forget thy name.
I long to learn thy name again.
Speak true, speak true, my oldest friend.
Smother newest flame so yours may grow.
And cleanse my soul of regrets too old.

The Sun
The Sun shines brightly
It‘s silent but always there
Brings peace for everyone

‘Life goes on’, They always say
But here I am, Grieving from day
to day
Grieving the loss of my happiness
And the staying of my sadness
There is no light in this dark place
It’s like I’m trapped in time and
space
Will I ever find my happiness? Why
did you leave me behind?
Now that you’re gone, The gears
of sadness began to grind
I experience this feeling daily, The
one that makes tears fall
While other walk I crawl
And so many times my legs refused
to move
But even if I could stand and walk
tall, What would it prove
I’m dead inside, No need to live
No desire to strive
I just want to die
No… I cannot and for that I cry

I’ll be
I attempt to fly on these broken wings
All I do is flap a little and fall
Can I ever stand up and take off
Someday, someday I will
I will leave it on the ground
I’ll join the clouds
I’ll be me.

Brave
The screams of pain
Shake the house,
As I hide from the fight
I slowly lose my sight
Ain’t I brave?
People at school push me around
Knock my stuff to the ground,
And no one will help
Ain’t I brave?
Go to the hospital
Be everything but hostile
for my chemo will start
Ain’t I brave?
I hear no screams
I don’t feel people pushing
what is this place
Made of gold
Where people are sweet and bold
No more screams
No more pain
Ain’t I brave?

Undone
Undone, unable, unworthy
I’ll never live up to you
Your lifestyle, your money
I’m undone, buttons loose
Sewn back together, but weaker
Never the same after you
Every time I’m loosened a little
Seams a little more unsteady
One day I’ll break, I’ll be undone
I’ll never be like you
I’ll never live up to your expectations
I’ll never be able to please you
I’m just so undone and messy.

Thoughts Consume
Thoughts consume, I can’t breathe I think and think and think Something’s wrong here
What is it? I can’t, I can’t understand
Thoughts consume, unlivable Unbelievable, unworthy
Untrusting thoughts Skepticism is not life
Thoughts consume, how is this me? This can’t be, what have I become? Can I scream? No, I can’t breathe
When will this terror end? My thoughts consume, taking me under.
