HistoryThere are moments
that you wish never end

Then there are moments
that couldn't go by fast enough.

Through at the times we have seen
and all the lives we have lived.

Time seems to be
the one thing that never changes.

Time likes to repeat itself
going hour by hour, second by second.

They say, today is history
but tomorrow is a mystery.

History likes to repeat itself,
so maybe tomorrow isn't such a mystery.

Keep on DreamingThere are dreams in this world
Dreams of anything and everyone

Dreams are more than we believe
More than we actually dream

Dreams inspire
With a bit of faith
Dreams can become reality

Dream on, keep dreaming
You never know where those dreams may go.

Dreams change the world
Dreams can do anything

Dreams created the world
As everything that ever is, or was,
Began with a dream.

Keep on dreaming~

The Envious MoonThe moon's envious glow,
is nothing more, than the suns bright rays
shinning back from a gray face.

The loneliest person in the world,
she can only reflect what others disperse
and never show her own light.

Sometimes though, she gets her desires
to change the light she reflects
and becomes orange or red.

It never lasts though.

She finds solace in her reflection
to know that she is actually there,
and to feed what little pride she has.

And the moon sits alone
never to have company.
Only her mournful shriek her only sound.

She can never be the one
who provides light and comfort.

The most she can do
is give off a little refle

Dance of The Fallen

Dance of The Fallen

I walk onto the dance floor
And am surrounded by ghosts of summer's past
They dance around me wearing faceless masks
Each move with such grace and beauty
I know it is too good to last
Faster and faster the figures dance
To soon do I stumble
Giving myself away
Each covered face turns my way
Suspecting me of being something
Different, Strange
I realize then I am not a faceless creature
A hateful bane
I am bright and vibrant
Something that should not be covered
Or smothered by other's selfish spite
I reject your masks
Your hateful ways
For I am me and I will never be tamed
So I continue dancing

Into the dark no moreNo more dives into the deep
Let me stay in the shallow
I'll dive into the deep again
But not now, not today

I'll stay away from the dark
and the dangers down there
Let me stay inside the light
Where I can restore again

Let the light touch me
The dark won't get me
I've seen enough of it
turned my back at it

The sun can warm me up
To the inside of my heart
No more darkness inside
what I call my mind

Maybe a spark left behind
To remember how it was
So I don't want to return
To the darkness ever again

No oneDrown those drinks
shoot those shots,
don't think about tomorrow
just party till you cant.

She stumbles around
not even able to stay stable
she sits roughly on the ground
when a man comes up
and takes her somewhere else

Following the sounds
of muffled grunts
and drunken cries
the man is hovering over her
while she cries out
for anyone to help her

No one does
no one can hear
over the hammering music.
No one notices
when they both emerge
one a tear stained face,
and the other…

Well the other,
goes to his friends
and gets congratulated.

The house on the hillUp on a hill there lived a house,
in that house lived an old man.

He had lived his long life
and had lived in that house his entire life.

He didn't have family
and stayed on the porch every day.

When the children would come
he would give out candy apples and sweets.

The children loved the nice old man
who lived on the hill.

Then the man on the hill
passed away and went to a better place.

The once great house,
faded from thoughts
as the town still grew below it.

Once shiny windows,
and flawless paint,
faded and became aged.

The garden once taken care of,
with wrinkled old hands,
became overcome with weeds.

The children

I Won't Let You Fall ApartHey, do hear me?
Take my hand.
Hurry!
Before they see!

No, I won't let go.
I won't let you fall
apart.
I can't watch you slip
away.

Yes, it's worth saving!
Hurry!
I'll hide you away from them!
Please, hurry!

Shine, darling.
See your beauty.
Don't run away.
Take my hand.

Because this is something I have to do.
I'll build the wall
I'll keep them on the other side.

I won't let you fall apart.

Mirror, mirror on the wallMirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the tragedy
Of us all

A family torn apart,
Loved ones lost forever, never to return

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
Show me the feelings
Of us all

Flashes of gray
And a heart, broken in half

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the crime
Of us all

People rioting
Fighting over meaningless issues

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the history
Of us all

A soldier, bloodied and tainted,
Trucking through blood covered ground.

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me a place
That is safe for us all

Bountiful fields
A utopia of peace and love

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Show me the hope
Of us all

ConfusionHow can I make sense of
what I feel inside
when my emotions are stronger
than the ever pounding tide?

I know I feel something,
of that I am sure,
but is it just friendship?
Or is it something more?

I know not what love feels like
nor what gives it its spark,
I just know that it's treasured;
held close to the heart.

Yet a small voice inside me
has a mind all its own
and tells me I love you,
though I enjoy being alone.

I miss you a lot,
miss your laugh and your smile,
and I've noticed without you
I've been down for a while.

The world holds little excitement
without you here with me.
I miss your gentle encouragement,
your

Dream Like Kings"Dream Like Kings"

When we dream we dream like kings

Kings with gold and diamond rings

Rings that shine from eye to eye

Eyes divine like massive shrines

In this land composed of sand

Sand as smooth as silky hands

Hands design these crafty plans

Plans that have such odd demands

They call for walls made of ore

Ore taken from the core

The core of which can not be seen

Seen by those who can not dream

They call for halls made of glass

Glass cut as sharp as grass

Grass as green as those jade rings

Found on hands of kings who dream

For war to cease and peace increased

Peace leased away to nations obese

In weapons, bombs, and viole

Awkward TensionAwkward Tension

Awkward…

Confined there is no way forward,

And no escape route to look towards.

Forced and fake conversations.

A very time consuming situation,

Words subjected to manipulation.

The moment persists,

Eye contact impossible to resist.

The occasional glance over that is always missed.

Slowly...Our world slowly falling
Spinning through the skies
Though we could have saved her
We chose to let her die

Rivers choked with poison
The fish gave up and died
Polar ice caps melting
The bears began to fry

Oil in the oceans
Acid in the rain
Still we burned the forests
Couldn't see the pain

Thought it didn't matter
That we'd all end up in space
Seduced by Captain Kirk
We laid our home to waste

Now poison oceans rise
On burning desert lands
And we all wait for death
Earths blood upon our hands...

FallEndless plunges
Through bottomless death

The permanent flight
To endless oblivion

Nothing to stop
That rapid descent

Gone in a flash
That single moment of exhilaration

For a second
It's just like flying

Then just like Icarus
The end is already there
Faster than you ever imagined

Be a phoenixI want nothing more
Than to be seen
For who I am

People everywhere
Are always telling me
Who to be
And who I am

I'll shout to the sky,
This isn't me
Only I can be me.

Listen closely,
I'll be gone before you know
I'm not
Who you think I am

People everywhere
Are always telling me
Who to be
And who I am

Hush be quiet
Listen for once,
To the real me

Don't fall to others
Stand on your own
Even if
You're torn to pieces

People everywhere
Are always telling me
Who to be
And who I am

Rise again
Be a phoenix in the ground
Don't let them get you down

You are you
And no one, no one
Can ever tell you
Who you are

For what can bring life, can also bring death.For everything that brings life
It also brings death

Fire burns
Melting flesh from bone

Water suffocates
Silencing words never spoken

Earth crushes
Pounding down the weak

Air taints
Tainting what was once pure

Yet spirit
Has to be the worst

Spirit keeps hope alive
And makes us carry on

Even when life isn't worth living.

I'll wait for youHeart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

Chibitalia stared at the young country in front of him, wondering what Holy Rome was trying to prove by going away to war. Italy had never been in love before, but now, he knew that his world would be a little less bright now without Holy Rome. Italy didn't have one doubt in Holy Rome though, as he knew that the other would do his best in everything he could.

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years

Time

There is nothing more devastating
Than losing a loved one

Knowing that you will never
Hear their voice again

Or feel their touch, or see them smile
It's heart breaking

Time is a powerful thing
One that is forever

Time takes everything
And makes it it's own

They say that time
Heals all wounds

I disagree
Time only created more scars

As the ones that it caused before
Begin to heal

To lose a loved one
Is a tragedy all in its own

But don't be sad
You will see them again

Because while time takes everything it can
Eventually

Time
Will take you too.

Time takes everything
And eventually it even takes you.

Goodbye P.14: France and CanadaMatthew never felt as small as he did right now. Sure he was a child, and the word was large to his tiny body, but now he felt small not only in body, but in soul. His papa stood over him, holding little Matthew in place with one hand on the top of his head. Not that Matthew would have made any move to try to get away anyway. Before him stood the man that his papa always argued with, Arthur. Then in his arms was a small boy just like Matthew, named Alfred. Matthew wanted nothing more than to hide behind his papa and try to get away from these strangers.

"Take him Arthur." His papa suddenly said, making everyone in the room stare at him in su

Just me.

You always say that
nothings ever good enough
but you need to stop comparing me
Because:

I'm not her.
I'm not him.
and I can't be
what you want me to be.

I struggle, ad I struggle
to find that perfect place
that's just mine.

But I know that if I do
nothing will ever been
good enough for you.

I'm not her.
I'm not him.
and I can't be
what you want me to be.
I can only ever be just me.

Some nights I wander,
wondering if I'll ever be
good enough. But as I look
upon the sky
there's nothing there
asking for me to change.

So I'll just realize
that I can only ever be just me.

Because,
I'm not her.
I'm not him.
And I can't be
what you want me to be.
I can only ever be just me.

Critique by *Thegarfieldtouch Jun 29, 2012, 12:17:03 PM

excellent!! this explains alot about how people are trying to convert other artists online to be just like them even though god put them on earth for a reason to be themselves they cant change who you are its what god whats you to be like for me Garfield drawing style was the first to inspire me to draw in the first place and people try to change me art style even though they cant because its who Iam and no person online can change the fact that that's what Iam and ill dam well be like that until the day i die this poem also reminds me of crazy crazy nights performed by kiss Paul Stanley sings that you cant change who he is because that's what he he born to become and this poem spreads a very powerful message to all artists around the world that you cant change who they are its whats god wants them to be !! but overall you too have also reminded me that people cannot ever change for who Iam cause Iam me! and as me i can do whatever i want to success in the career in art so thank you the-golden-sunrise
