Trick of the light

I danced in the dark
With a monster
He held me tight
We swayed
Then someone noticed
Finally opened the curtains
The light's crazy beautiful
My eyes adjust
My monster is nothing
But a shadow on the wall
Nothing........
As he will always remain

S.U.

Sometimes you need to shut up
Whether you like it or not
To hear the words in between
To improve
To conquer
To throw it right back

Epic fail

Hair falls
Brain hurts
Looks fade
Jokes suck
Game's weak
Return home
Tail tucked
Life deserved
Crowds cheer
Liars laugh
Life continues
Smiles happen
Pictures taken
Future's built
Savy divas

Victory

Natalie laughs so hard she cries
It's all so perfect
Time well spent
For such an awesome ending
Hard work pays off
This smile will never leave her
The strongest always walk in the shadows
Well played
High fives all around

Real talk

Weird how good it feels
Going in the right direction
Not hiding in the shadows
Protecting
Lying
Defending
Making excuses for grown men
Weird how free I feel
Going towards a real life
Not playing house
Hoping
Accepting
Forgiving
Making myself miserable for you

New day

Like a first breath
Today's new and calling
Happiness fills me
In a way unexplainable
At last
Peace

This I know for sure

I know what I see
Often too much to believe
Don't ever trust how I feel anymore
Need a blueprint
Need a hand
I always.....need....
I know it all seems insane
When looking in from outside of the bubble
Don't feel like explaining anymore
Need sanity
Need something that's only mine
I don't want to....always..need...
I know it's only a matter of time
Life always cycles through
Don't want to pretend it doesn't
Need credibility
Need something that's concrete
I'm forever needing...

Matters I consider

I listened to Black Parade
With new ears
But does that even matter now
Tried to play
Always swatted away
Guess it doesn't matter
Always chasing my tail these days
Tryin to make something
Maybe make something that matters
Seems it doesn't matter
But I guess depends who you ask
