With a beauty to match what is felt within,
showing the real me that lies just under the skin.
so bravely flying with sun kissed wings,
a release that my soul now freely sings.
Watch me fly, watch me soar through the sky,
reaching and striving for what was so high.
But what came before this appearance altered?
It is the making of a beautiful heart un-faltered.
The rebirth of a butterfly's real haloed light,
is every color of the rainbow blended white.
Having to overcome impossibly dark filled days,
that are but a shadow just beyond a reflections gaze.
Gleaming with all that I am and so much more,
just as a newly transformed butterfly, ready t
The tv may be on
But it's just you I hear
The sound of your voice
It rings in my ear
Just like your music
Whenever you're playing
Its always a pleasure
That goes without saying
And only you
fill my heart with laughter
From the tiniest thing
After a disaster
Its crazy how we met
And how similar we are
It really does suck
That you live so far
But you've travelled a lot
So you can travel some more
Come over to England
And knock at my door
You felt it before me
And I wasn't as sure
But the more we speak
I want you some more
And if all of this ends
Then let it be so
But you'll always be someone
I'm glad to have known
I hope that won't happ
Lines, limits, boundaries,
Life without warrantees,
Walking along a tightrope,
Not a grip with which to cope.
Wobbling precariously,
Moving on most daringly,
Gasps of horror all around,
Paralyzing terror abounds.
Only steps from destiny,
Events that are meant to be,
A sudden turn and a dive,
Freefalling, so alive.
In a life full of suffering and pain
I've learned to use it for my gain
I could've easily given in
But I searched high and low within
And found an unshakable strength
One in which could go the length
I'm not the person I used to be
I've found a way to be free
From the treachery I once lived
I've learned that I must forgive
Those who have hurt me in the past
Because the past doesn't last
This doesn't mean I cannot fall
It means I can rise above it all
I thank God each and every day
That I've let go and decided to stay
My name is nobody, my craft is seen but yet unknown,
I so desperately try to get my work to be widely shown.
So much it seems, everything really depends solely on me,
taking care of my entire family, this is how life's come to be.
I stay awake at all hours, painting both day and night,
trying in vain to create a masterpiece in the full moons light.
Even with my best efforts, I still struggle to make ends meet,
so I skip meals and suffer in the winter with no heat.
Wearing the same old clothes, faded, worn, ripped at the seams,
a life lived in poverty and destitution is what it means.
Doing everything I can to get my work exhibited in a galler
For all of the hurtful words, the deception and the lies,
that my poor fragile, vulnerable heart now dies.
Just when I thought that we were starting to get better,
I find something showing that you haven't forgotten her.
Why then did you try to keep this hidden from me?
did you seriously think that I wouldn't see?
I don't know if I can ever trust you as I once did,
now knowing you kept your relationship with her hid.
At the crossroads now where we argue and fight,
I still maintain that what you pulled wasn't right.
You say that since we're not married it isn't cheating,
but we're going steady, doesn't that hold any meaning?
Tried and failed,

Literature
Alternative Reality
Life brings us down
Makes us feel worthless
Feel invisible
So we take refuge
Within our minds
Creating a Universe
A Universe where we're happy
Where our dreams come true
Where we have great friends
We dive into that Universe
Every day, every night
Until we lose contact with reality
We become obsessed
Because we feel like we belong
To the world we created
Because we hate reality
An obsession
That can destroy us
And no matter how hard we try to escape
It drags us back
Until we become part of it
An eternity of illusional happiness
