So here is my poetry and possibly prose (I'm not sure if it's allowed or not) so I would love it if you read, commented, and critiqued.
Note that there is also some lyrics, so some verses might be repeated in pieces.

The dove stole a glance through
The glass glistening in the sun
She saw a human she once knew
Trapped in a cage, locked up tight
Begging for forgiveness for what it'd done
But what harm did that human ever do?

She sees her sad reflection
Through the bubble rising slowly
Pop, they suddenly disappear
Leaving no tracks behind

She skipped through solid concrete
Soft as grass between her toes
Before she left, she erased the chalkboard
Never to be found

I miss that little girl
Her smile never fake
Red roses at her doorstep
Dead and out of place

Disguised white picket fences
Just painted black
All the sane pretense
All the same results

Cookie cutter gory
Just filed sharp
All the same story
All the same ending

White puffy clouds
just some more thunder
All the same doubt
All the same fear

That's the way
things are around here
No one dates stray
From the main road
Everyone's the same here

Something is not right here
Everything she said was never, ever true
She spent all her time counting lies by two
Just shut your mouth and hush, dear
Tracing, losing feeling od all things near
No matter what happens you will always lose
Erasing from the chalkboard, everything she knew
Her bud never really bloomed
Collecting endless dew
Given her liscense, she could never steer
All this she sees through tears

I've rebuilt this shelter
Though I can't fix the cracks
Dust collects in the corners
As they've turned their backs
But the walls are still stable
The roof is still there
There's no doors or windows
Not an ounce of outside to spare
I'm sprawled on the floor
I'm scrawled on the walls
My energy has evaportated
Too weak to even crawl
I think of flying out of here
Of smashing these bricks
But like most things I've known
This is not easily fixed
So will you lend me your strength
Your courage, your wings
Then the joys of freedom will ring

Go ahead
Roll the dice again
Just one more time my friend
Tempts the evil snake eyes
Kiss everything goodbye
Go ahead
Waste it all away
One, two, three months pay
Com'on just one more game
One more fortune down the drain

And if I cried my heart out
Would you even care
Things go torn between us
And I can't run anywhere

So you go on
Forget me
Forget the things you meant to me
But I can't
So I'll sing this song
For every thought you never knew

And if I died tomorrow
Would you even care
Lies got told between us
You were never really there (for me)

So I'll go on
I'll hate you
Hate the things you mean to me
So I'll sing this song
For every tear I've shed for you

And if I loved you
I know you wouldn't even care

I'm tired of this prison cell
The nurse in my head's not well
She's too busy running round
Trying to fix my broken crown

I should be the one out there
Making all the rules
Instead I'm stuck inside my head
Just wishing to get out

But you're the one who holds the key
Don't be shy, come rescue me
I'll be forever in your debt
Until your last fated breath

I can't stand these four walls
They're holding me back from my call
Just unlock those iron gates
And leave me to my destined fate

Hurry up and set me free
So I can find the real me

Are you hiding?
We all are
I built myself a fort
For excitement I jump from its walls
I learned to accept the fall
I never expected someone to catch me
But I was wrong
And know I've fallen for you

Are you afraid?
We all are
Fear of the future
And my own two hands
I know I can't meet everyone's demands
Then you came along
And my life was no longer bland
And now I fear losing you

Are you real?
They all claim to be
I didn't believe
I have trouble with trust
The misery seemss to be a must
Then a miracle happened
And you became all I could think of
And now I believe you

Most of them aren't
What you might think
Underneath the seams
We're really falling apart
We need someone to sew us back together
I need someone like you

I can you feel my heart break
Just from standing next to you
Can you feel my earth quake
Everytime you say 'I love you too'
Don't you know what's at stake
If my wish does come true

I'm standing here with arms outstretched
I hope you'll catch me when I descend
We're terrified and shaking
Past being scared
But where ever you wil roam
I will follow you there

The air smelt of heartbreak
My lips tasted fake
Their venom sparkled in the light
You were infected from the start

I cake myself in make-up
Attempting to hide my inner hideousness
The monster smiled at me in the mirror
Why couldn't you believe me when I warned you?
(Why couldn't you see her too?)

I turn the knob, feeling the water pummel against my skin
(Oh how I wish it had been raining bullets instead)
I didn't remove the mess on my face
I was hoping it would streak down my cheeks to replace my absence of tears
Even with the storm over, my eyes themselves had darkened

Just hours ago I sat with you
Though neither of us were truly there
Merely two empty exo-skeletons knotted together in the master web
(Though I'm starting to suspect that you had planned this all along)
I stared into your eyes and they shone with love
But I could not see myself reflected in them

You held me close and told me that you loved me
It always took me a moment to respond
Said that you never wanted to lose me
But that last embrace felt like goodbye

Whenever you announced your dedication to me
I felt what I mistook as a pang of love in my chest
But I know now that it was an anticipation of guilt
Because deep down, I always knew I would end up doing this to you
For I am selfish and weak

My heart fell with a thud and sank
(It was just full of lead anyways)

By now I've dedicated quite a few poems in your name
I'm sorry to conclude that this one contains the most truth

At the rate that I'm going, I can't just stand by
So I'll just take a ladder and climb to the sky
Step by step, ring by ring
I'll move further away from everything

But even on cloud nine I still have my tears
Afraid of falling back down to my fears

The way I've been living, I feel like a ghost
Wandering around miserably, with no antidote
With nothing to dull the thoughts of my mind
When it all comes down, at least I can say that I tried

Like a stain glass window
With nothing there
He could shatter to pieces
Yet feel no despair
Lost are his feelings
No where to be found
It's a miracle he still lives on
When all his emotions lay gone

Numb is the pain and dry are the tears
Dull is his mind, and unknown are his fears
Try as he might, he can't replace
Those feelings that neve existed
But I know, deep down in his soul
He lies alone brokem and twisted
Sometimes its better to pretend to be deaf to the answer
When in reality, it rings as clear as a bell

Like a stain glass window
With something actually there
He could shatter to pieces
Yet hide his despair
Lost are his feelings
But can surely be found
It's a miracle he still lives on
When all his emotions seem gone

I saw through his mask
Maybe he has a heart afterall

skin crawling to escape
nothing but your voice can make
that scream go off in my mind
i cant think, no i cant find
myself anymore in this mess
struggling just to forget
these dreadful events ever happened
that smells of foul burning ashes
reeks of the dead, the tortured soul
you eyes flashed red then went dull
claws stretched forward
to rip out more
flesh, white to the bone
i wish i couldve better known
myself before this fate
on this fatal date
then slowly i awoke
just to find it was all a joke
my eyes opened, bloodshot stare
right in front of me, the real nightmare



*Note: This poem was meant to be written without punctuation for effect, not because I simply neglected to use proper punctition

Let's make history
A silent scream in time
record me n the books
So they can see I tried
Write down all the facts
Nothing but the lies
Misjudge me and move on
So they can't see I tried

No amount of knowledge
Will be enough
To save yourself
To fix you up

You're already miles from repair
You fall dowm and lose again
When all's messed up
Why should you even care

Let's play irony
You can be the knife
I'll be te skin
So they can see the slice
Paint a picture in dark crimson
But it won't affect the dice
Show off the stitches
So they can't see my life

No amount of medication
Will be enough
To save yourself
To fix you up

You're already miles from repair
You fall dowm and lose again
When all's messed up
Why should you even care

Tainted windows
cover up the
All time lows, oh
Foggy mirrors
hide the beast
And the fear

It's time to shatter all the glass
There's no turning back
The city lights are calling our names
So we can't delay
No time to waste

Wilted roses
Strewn on the floor
Still hold their pose
Trails of tears
Marked by
All the years

It's time to throw away the past
There's no turning back
The future is calling out our names
So we can't delay
No time to waste


*Note: I'm sorry for the repetition of the verse, it is more of lyrics

You fall, I follow
Like two peas in a pod,
We both get eaten and swallowed
Together

Two footsteps
One after the other
We both trip and fall into the depths
Together

Our fates intertwined
Knotted and tangled tight
We both got twisted inside
Together

Two souls, two fates
Ond bond just waiting to break
As your web of lies grew thicker
You wound me up and pulled the trigger
It's a little late for regrets now

You can call it what you will
But while you were flattened in battle
I was the pme to rise above, to prevail

I watched as you ran ahead
Only to be bounced back again
It really is a shame
That there can only be on winnner in this game

You can call it what you will
But while you flattened in the battle
I was the one to rise above, to prevail

Suprised by this outcome?
So am I
But when the rain (when the pain) came down
I got soaked, while you ran inside
It's a little late for regrets now


Look who got the upper hand
It pays to play in the dirt rarther than the sand
You might get a little messy, but that's exacttly the plan

You can call it what you will
But while you were so caught up in your haste
I kept a steady pace and slowly won the race
While you read the definitions straight from the book
But while you marched right on through
And keot a tidy trail
I explored around, I learned how to prevail
It's way too late for regrets now

When everything I've been fed and taught
It was all lies
All lies
Give me one good reason
Why I should even try
Even try
I thought you'd be there with me
Through thick and thin
So I though
But I guess you didn't have
What it takes to stick it out 'til the end
So I guess
It's true I might've been living in pain
Living in pain
But I'm sure that I was more sane
Than you

Maybe we weren't really destined
But it's okay cause I've learned my lesson
I was much better on my own
I should've known
Better

So far I've mended my torn heart
And celebrated the time we spent apart
Who would've believed this would happen to us
Stupid me for accepting your fake trust

Remember you're the one who put this on yourself
Put this on yourself
Maybe you should've thought before you spoke
Before you spoke
But it's too late I already know it was all a hoax
All a hoax
Now I'm drowning in my returning fears
Returning fears
But it's better than wasted tears
Over you

Maybe we weren't really ever destined
But it's okay because I've learned my lesson
I'm so much better off on my own
I should've known, better

So far I've mended my torn heart
And celebrated the time we spent apart
Who would've believed this would happen to us
Stupid me for accepting your fake trust

Forever isn't as long as it used to be
i hoped you've learned your lesson
Thanks for adding to increasing atrophy


So far I've mended my torn heart
And celebrated the time we spent apart
Who would've believed this would happen to us
Stupid me for accepting your fake trust

When everything I've been fed and taught
It was all lies
All, it was all lies

School, another worrd for my distraction
Because I know that I'll never meet your satisfaction
I try to focus on other things in life
But then I'm home again and forced to open up my mind
My thoughts that I was avoiding catch up

And now I have to face the truth
I'll never be good enough for you
No matter how hard I try
You will always have another standing in my way
But I don't have the strength to push or shove
I guess I'm just not good enough

Your life pulshes forward unaffected
You'll never know how your words made me feel
Not what you said, but you didn'y mention
Didn't really seem to care, can't see the rising tension

Sure I'll pretend to smile
And you'll return the grin and think I'm fine
Unaware that it's a lie
But I'll let you think that
If it makes it easier for your happiness

And now I have to face the truth
I'll never be good enough for you
No matter how hard I try
You will always have another standing in my way
But I don't have the strength to push or shove
I guess I'm just not good enough


I know that I've run out of time
So much for being fine

Wishes fade, promises break
For every action you fo
A consequence you must take
It's hard to believe
That you used to be there for me
I've noticed lately that it seems
I'm the only one whose pain won't recede
Cause I've had these notions deep down in my soul
Visions of a world where truth was all told
Drifting and fading are hopes for the future
When all else is lost
What is the point
Of searching for some unkwnown belief
Friendships will crumble
And lies will be told
How long til the chaos unfolds?

Rambled words
That I cannot hear
I wish you the best
Hope you don't die
Drenched in your own tears

Uttered excuses
The walls close in
When will you understand
You're being eaten alive
Faster than you can mend

Wasted apoligies
I'm not the person
You should apoligize to
Look in the mirror
Staring back is the one

Laugh it off
Pretend your fine
But don't forget
Your own body
Ends up paying for your crimes

A life so wasted
A life so misued
A life that I certainly wouldn't approve
All those lies that you live with
All that trust you can't recliam
Your train of though ran off-course again
Please don't go

Back away from that line you almost crossed
Don't give in yet, all hope is not lost
Cause I'm here for you

I'll fight your battles that you can't survive on your own
I'll protect you from those feelings that the world doesn't know
I'm willing to bend til I break just to see you smile
Cause I care for you
And I can't stand to see that pain on your face
I'll help you find your way

A life so wasted
A life so misused
A life that I've lived before
All those lies that I lived with
All that trust I couldn't recliam
I'm trying to help you get back on your feet again
Please don't go

Together we'll jump over that like that you nearly crossed
We'll run around in circles but not get lost
Cause we're in this together

I'll fight beside you in battles that you can't survive on your own
I'll share with you those feelings that the world doesn't know
I'm wiling to bend til I break just to see you smile
Cause I care for you
And I can't stand to see that same pain on your face
Your life is my stencil, from which I trace
Oh please don't go

Cause I care, I care for you
And I can't stand to see that grief on your face
Your life is my stencil, that I will never erase
I'm here to help you find your way
Find your way home

Oh sorry, I dented you again
Sorry, I was just following the trend
But I promise, no more lame excuses
I know now that haste makes you useless

It was my mistake this time
For letting it get this far
It's my fault for not tryinh
When I could've stopped this all

Now I don't expect
You to fprgive me
I used to live just beneath the surface
When pleasing you was my sole purpose
But I broke through the tension
I no longer need your redemption

It was my mistake this time
For letting it get this far
It's my fault for not tryinh
When I could've stopped this all

Oh sorry, I bent you again
Sorry, I was just defying the trend
But I promise, no more lame excuses
I know now that waiting makes you useless

It was your mistake this time
For letting it get this far
It's your fault for not tryinh
When you could've stopped this all

And now you expect
Me to forgive you
It's okay, we all make mistakes sometimes
