Too scared to jump right into things. Too frightened to approach another. They don’t want your friendship— Why would they, when they already have their friends And you aren’t even sure what it means to be a friend? You’ll only make a fool of yourself, and they’ll simply reject you. Perhaps you could fool them into thinking that you’re better than you are. But that can’t last very long. Eventually you’ll slip up, and then you’ll have to run, You’ll have to flee, be gone before you get hurt again. So just let them pass by, no matter how hard it is. Your heart tells you that you want

I can sit here and wait all day For something that may never come, But what good is waiting when There's nothing for you at the end? I'm only human and that must mean It's fate for me to fall and bleed, Stumbling around on my hands and knees, Searching for pieces of a shattered dream. I've walked through Hell and I've drowned in fear, I've breathed in all of your poison air, And now I wonder: what's the point Of staying locked in this endless pain? I'm only human and that's enough For me to fall from the grace of love. I'll never dance under Heaven's light If I stay trapped within this abysmal night.

Stepping on the edge, you lean into oblivion Staring into the void where your light once burned, Remembering how it shined as brightly as the sun. Now I watch you there, cowering in the dark, Afraid to reach out and let another in Because they might lift you up, only to let you down again. So remain in your cage, singing your mournful melodies. I’m sure that it’s safer than the light of this world. After all, you can’t get hurt if you never come out. But listen to me when I say this: The person that can hurt you the most is yourself. If you just stay there, avoiding the pain that others inflict, Then all you’ll be a

The strings fall down and wrap around And the noose tightens around your neck. The hands move nimbly and guide you, Taking you places you don’t wish to go. The eyes look out and stare at you As if you were just there for show. The puppet master’s games are a joy For all who do not live as a simple toy. The strings must be cut These sutures sewn And the prisoner set free. The marionette falls, limp and lifeless Unable to move without his master. With no guidance he is lost But with it he is chained. He has become slave to fear And victim of control. He wishes for a life But he does not know what one is. He can’t let go of the

I can’t honestly say I know the color of your eyes, How deep they seem, Or how brightly they shine. In truth, I’m afraid. Afraid to look you in the eyes. Afraid to let you see how I feel. So I avoid your chilling gaze. But I do know your stunning smile And your incredible laugh. I see all the joy you bring to others, And I love the joy your presence brings me. I wonder if you know this feeling. Do you have someone like that? Someone whose eyes you’re afraid to meet Because they might look into yours and see the truth? Do you ever try to meet my eyes And wonder why I always look away? Or maybe you’re scared of my ga

The sound of water falling from the sky Is music to my soul. Others would prefer the light of day, But I’d rather dance in a downpour. Water is life. How could I not adore it? Our planet is covered in it And our bodies are made of it. Oceans of beauty are everywhere we look. The way the dewdrops glisten And the air smells of the earth below When a storm blows in And gifts us a rainbow. Thunder crackles and lightning strikes And brings excitement to my life. The wind howls and gales do form To show us the strength of a perfect storm. Others hide inside, away from the rain, But that’s when I go out and come alive. Beauty is myst

There once was a time When magic was at its prime And all the world's order Flowed from its power so sublime. There once was a great warder Who guarded the world's border Between the light and the dark Protecting all from its disorder. One day whilst protecting his mark He was warned by a fair little lark Of a time soon nearing When the world would be consumed by chaos stark. So the sentinel, never fearing, Took to a new course of persevering. To protect his world from ruination And keep Eris' discord from appearing. Magic in hand, he would be the world's salvation, Protecting all of sweet Gaea's creation, From a fate more dire Than Pando

There once was a boy who fell head over heels, straight into your arms. Do you remember that? Do you recall the smile that brightened his face, every time you walked into the room? The sad boy who never said a word, lacking the courage or knowledge on how to speak to anyone; the boy who ran from his emotions and his friends, fearing what might happen if he got too close to the light? Would he be bathed forever in its warmth, cherishing it for eternity? Or would he be blinded by its radiance and learn to fear the light itself? Would he ever be able to take the risk to find out? Do you remember him? The sad boy who laughed when you smiled, whos

Sullen and lost he sits alone; Hated and cursed his fate is sewn. Detached he wanders with no goal, Except to fade into the unknown. Down he falls in this rabbit hole, Searching wildly for his soul. Chained by reason he is a thrall, Seeking a life for some console. Next to naught he discovers all, But torn asunder by this squall, His heart feels in this crisis dire For nothing seen fails to appall. Commanding new strength through his ire, He surges through this depthless mire. Ascending to mind's greatest spire, He feels the passion lite afire.

A snowfall in a world long forgotten, The child walks alone. Following a path long ago determined, The boy runs alone. Losing all he loves along the way, The child cries alone. With no one who cares to stand by his side, The boy hopes alone. Moving towards a goal so out of reach, The child dreams alone. In a land of turmoil where chaos reigns, The boy fights alone. Following ideals that no one else chose to see, Forging his own road through destiny, Leaving a mark in this world’s story, The man triumphs on his own.
