I have seen the lost souls of man with
Denim clouds of hope, with
Their staggered movement down scarred
Pavement of chalk, smeared
Memories of condensed innocence.

They sang to coherent dreams of the conception
    of fame,

Shot more than makeshift dice on streets
    to please their deviant life,

Ran from 5-O in front of Miguel’s to survive
    leathery behinds,

Window-shopped on Fifth Avenue with rotten lint and
    rectangular shards of liquid plastic that glossed a
    poor man’s luxurious wealth,

Preached butterfly knives sharper than the minds of politics
    made outcasts our messengers,

Seeped furtively into decades lost among time that
    lay halted on our doorstep,  

With knowledge obtained from the Four Corners of Death
    proven to an unwilled existence,

To where the worm of poetic lies of love and hate and life
    contained runs deep through the Big Apple’s core.

All you see is the flower.
The petals, bright & luring
To catch unwanted attention, to
Captivate your feeble, curious mind.
You don't see what's underneath the
Extravagant display of beauty.
All you see is the flower.

Pointless is this winding vine of thorns.
A metallic armor hovered over, yet
Never seen, never felt.
Alas, danger rears its ugly head, yet
All you see is the flower.

I lay dying, abandoned by many,
Disappearing into the void of regret.
You'll never see me cry, nor will you ever
See the hint of a smile.
I lay my sword across the never-ending
Battlefield, seeking my redemption, and still,
All you see is the flower.

Yup, it's another year. =)

I'll finally be done with high school & I might just get out of Pennsylvania if I'm lucky. Yay XD
Not to mention I'll be seeing someone over the summer. ^^

White crystals form cotton clouds on the ground.
All life paused with the frost,
Trees let leaves take flight with wind,
Wind cold and numb, swift and comforting.

Another white season has come,
But you are still my only one.
One who keeps me warm at night,
Who'd rather start a play-fight.

Spoils to death relentlessly,
In case I'd trade in for a puppy.
Doesn't quite know when to quit,
Like this blizzard, ongoing as we sit.

The one who gives me no regret,
Makes me speechless, makes me forget
Why I felt helpless about this day, and
Reminds me how I'm always loved, in
Too many cute ways.

i got kicked in my shin today by some dumbass running in the halls at school...so far, it hasn't swelled up, but hopefully it won't...i now have a red line on my shin that hurts like hell...

The gates that close around my heart,
Keep me safe and you out.
Hidden under clouds of darkness,
I fall apart alone,
Afraid to see & hear beyond these walls.
But I still read between the lines,
To find the truth behind the lies,
That keep me sheltered in the shroud.
Afraid to be, but nevertheless I see.
What all must see as time goes by,
No longer hidden by this childish mind
Of mine, nor heard or felt.
Yet once again I open these gates, to
Let you know I have escaped.

summer's here! & it sucks! since i'm grounded for 5 months off my comp...even though i snuck online just today =P
