I remember.

I still remember the contrast of the white snow on the orange pumpkins

I still remember the nervous fidgeting

I still remeber how I thought you were joking when you said we need to talk... I would have never guessed how much it would affect me

But when did I ever take you seriously 

I remember falling to my knees and not feeling the floor

I remember the car ride home and how it seemed like the clouds knew what happened

It felt as if they were holding back their tears because they didn't want to cry in front of me

 

I remember how I walked outside and didn't care I wasn't warring shoes

I remember sitting on the steps trying to think of how explain this the right way to my mom

I remember The only thing I could think of was that it takes one to know one 

And he's got it bad

But I remember the thing that scared me the most was that I had already forgotten the sound of his voice.

Don't worry.

Don't worry

"You've got a lot on your plate but just don't stress about it" 

Don't stress about it?

I don't understand 

I've got a lot on my plate 

And I'm not hungry.

I've got a body full of scars 

And I'm not finished

I have a mind full of bruised memory's

And I still feel them 

I have shaky hands

And I have no control 

So how 

How do you expect me 

To not be stressed.

For Us Not Them

This is for the class skippers and the stressed out test takers. 

This is for the lovers and the ones sleeping in tear soked covers.

This is for the risk takers and the rule breakers.

This is for the ones who protect their creativity from societies norms

This is for the ones who get older but never grow up

This is for you.

This is for me.

This is for us.

We are all weapons of mass creation 

So what are we waiting for?

 

Fire & the Flood

You're a fire and I'm the flood

You're the clean air and i'm the mud

If I am water then you're wine

If I'm the clock then you're the lost time

What you run from I will chase

When you fear I will face

If you're hurt I will try my best to heal

And If it's love... Well it's mine you steal

Hats and Masks.

No more.

No more hiding who you are behind the masks you ware.

No more hiding your thoughts with that hat pulled down covering your eyes.

Tip your hat to yourself in the mirror because it's time to start seeing you for you and to recognize who you are.  

Holy Grounds.

Here's the church and here's the steeple 

Look inside and see the sad people 

With wars in their minds and scars on their hearts

Watching as their world is slowly torn apart

Confused by all the words of an imperfect society

Wondering what they should have tried to be

How could something so bad happen to someone so good

Well that's where we all stood

With holy water runing down our faces 

And precious blood spilled in these sacred places.
