Macedonia is Too Little for Thee

I've secretly been
perfecting the art of lieing
seeing as the
master's greatness is

slowly dieing

and keeping the truth tucked
deep in my vocal cords;
stuck
in a pit to keep you from discovering
my profession
making an incission
with most intricate precision
keeping firm with
my decision

and the stars are glaring blankly
watching every move I make
every breath I take
every lie I fake
only for my sake

to keep me on track to learn
make sure I don't
crash
and burn

people from that train's windows
staring at me
as the stars do
hand in hand with

complete strangers

not attempting to avoid the dangers
unaware a change in his life
can change hers

whisk away as fast as they came
misunderstanding the game
the devil plays on the
nearly insane
as much as we strain
to remain the same

yet still wishing for money
cars and fame
no matter how much we
claim
to be completely sane
we and the world

can't adhere

cause we're all made here

in a world of terrorism,
pain, and hate
a world of history, poverty,
Alexander the Great

not everyone's destined for
the expected fate
reality can stop us in our tracks

give our face a whack

but there's
no goin back

to making careless decisions
trusting out instinct
to take us to
where we need to be

expecting from ourselves
immediate generosity

selfless love for our enemies

supposedly unwanted vanity

if the world worked that way
would there even be a need
for weed, steeds,

or greed?

everything positive is
taken for granted
it's been here all our lives
how is it amazing in any way

when I witness it
everyday
without
I would feel betrayed
but with I find
no need for praise

i'll keep these thoughts
glued to my chest
where I believe is for
the best

for me to know
and lies for the rest

although my
foolish instinct
finds a need to protest

oh how I detest

how the world is
never
right and always finds a need
to smite

every correct thing
that i only wish could be
trite
it's not right

but what is?

As the Heavens Cry

I listen to the tears fall from your eyes
This distance between us I greatly despise
I want to hold you and make it feel right
But the days ahead, for us, are not looking very bright
You asked me tonight if I ever cry
I didn't know how to tell you each moment I die
Knowing that it can never be
Knowing I'll never get to say "It's just you and me"
I told you I'd be there to wipe away every tear
It's difficult to do that when I'm trapped away here
I listen closely as the heavens cry
I cannot seem to stop asking myself why
Why can't I make her happiness last forever?
Why do they deny us ever being together?
I have such a passion to make all your dreams come true
All I want from everything is the best for you
Even if the best for you does not include me
Your happiness and beautiful smile forever I wish to see

I'm Sorry

Sorry Daddy,
I don't call everyday .
It's just, everytime we talk, i have nothing to say .
I guess it's because, we've never been that close,
you've never been there for me when i needed you most .
I really do try to be a good daughter,
but it's hard to do so, when you're a bad father .

Sorry Mommy,
I'm not really the best,
been holding it in, but i gotta get this off my chest .
I'm tired of your scolding, all you do is yell, shout, and scream .
Now i'm tired of living my life through your dreams .
Stop thinking that everything i do is simply corrupt,
can't you accept the fact that i just want to grow up ?

Let me live my life, stop holding me down .
Stop looking at everything that i do with a frown .
I dont understand why you just can't leave me alone .
Please accept the fact that your little girl has grown .
If you're tying to change me, then you're out of luck,
because who cares what you want ? i don't give a f**k .

I wished today for tomorrow
to draw closer and away
to laughter from sorrow

I licked my lips
for they were dry
I'm tired of speaking
but for you I'll try

I don't care if you cheated on me
I don't care if you lied
I don't care if you hid me from your friends
And laughed when they mocked me
when to earn their favor I tried.

I'm sick because I don't care
It even makes me smile too
I'm not a weapon of self destruction
I'm just living proof that it exists
And girls like me care more
And will forgive you a few times before
They realize the only person that was benefiting is gone.

A tempest inside,
Stirring up angry, clashing thoughts

Drowning in a storm of emotions,
Downpour of feelings on his soul.
Listless he stumbles, like a drunk in the cold
Questioning, searching for something to hold.

Pummeled by brutal waves,
And condemning, heartless tides,
The piercing lightning of hate lines the way.
Recluse and outcast, solitary, fading away

Trying to feel alive,
Thinking that life has passed him by,
But they don’t care, they closed their minds.
They don’t move, they’re so paralyzed
They can’t see, they’ve made themselves blind…

Screaming silent fears,
An aching inside,
His world is crumbling,
A life unfit for living.

Deeper within, the eye of the storm,
A inadequate haven of calmness
A vacant stare complementing empty eyes and a hollow smile.
Slowly sinking into the quicksands of time.

Passing through, entering into the storm again.

Suddenly, a hand reaches out.
Abruptly the clouds shift
A heavenly smile cuts through the hazy gale,
Chases silence and shadows from the cold air.

Words dance on his heart,
And brilliant eyes and a sparkling laugh,
Like a spark, ignites the spirit
A fire of hope, a new person emerges

Looking forward to sunny days,
The sun warmly glowing down.

Flying higher in better days,
Touching the sky,
Knowing that everything will be just fine,
Feeling alive for the first time.

How do I even begin? I miss you, I need you, I love you. You just can't seem to notice though. Who are you? Why do you do this to me? Run, run away, hide in the shadows, shy from the sun, flee from the one that loves you. Run back to her, she's your whore. Run back to what you've always known. Run back to your solace, your shelter from me. Do not fool me anymore, you know I still believe. Run, run. It's what you're best at. I should've known. You aren't committed; you're young, and I'm naive. I believed you, when you were lying. I believed you, I clung to every lie you told me. I trusted what you said, I thrived on your words. Shame, ignorance, what do I feel? You can't take me away again. I don't believe I could've been so stupid. I'm blinded by my stupidity, blinded by my own lies. I've fooled myself so much in your defense, and you only take advantage of it. I should loathe you. I should abhor you, I should hate you. But I don't. What am I without you? What am I now? Nothing but a lie? What have you done to me? Fuck you. Damn you. Curse you. I still can't hate you. How do you do this to me, without doing anything at all? I think of you all my waking moments, but do you care? How do you do this to me? You're constantly there, in the back of my mind, in the bottom of my heart, you've never left. How do you leave but stay so far behind? Shy, shy away.. run from me.. flee away..

Corrupted Angel

Once there was an angel
Full of love, hope, and grace
Many had adored this creature
And recognized her by her beautiful face

Her eyes were not what they seemed
For they looked a different color each day
But something happened to this loveable angel
That made her beauty fade away

Here skin turned deadly pale
And her golden hair turned white
Her eyes looked empty and dull
When they use to be full and bright

Darkness filled the skies
And this poor angels heart
Nobody knows exactly why
This adorable creature fell apart

But rumor has it she met another angel
Who promised to love her forever
Until one day that angel left her
For another pair of feathers

And so in return this angel was corrupted
And stopped living altogether
Just because of one angel’s promise
A promise of being loved forever

The Burning of the Witch

Dances with wolves
Plays with fire
I knew she'd get burned...
Saw the f**kin sparks already catching in her hair
In my imagination, I could smell thestench of burning flesh growing closer
Yet i still gave her matches
Went marching to the bonfire

Now, it's her tied to the stake, screaming as flames lick up he rlegs
Taking the heat for my black magic
And the ladder she used to put herself on the pyre (my ladder) is alight now
Part of the blaze
So how can she get down?
Now, I wonder, did i know the words to tempt her down?
Had I been less selfish,
Said 'Hi' yesterday,
Kept those God damned matches to myself for another day,
Would she have even climbed up in the first place?

Am I too hard on myself?
You don't f**king burn yourself alive whenever you get a match...
Do You?
i guess I could ask her ashes...
Oh right!
TOO LATE
I destroyed her
Or, let her destroy herself
Same thing
Some friend i was...

But I'm not going to blame myself.
Why would I, when I can dump the guilt on the dead bitch
Like the jackass i convinced myself I'm not?
Think I'll go out.
Dance with some wolves
Play with some fire
And give the last match to the kid on the corner
Watch him add his tears to the ocean she drowned in
Maybe, if i dive in now, i can catch what's lef t of her as she drifts away
Or go find some more matches...

If Only

How is it that our brief encounter has branded an image of you in my mind, in my heart? Am I that much of a fool to let you get so close to me? I'm not sure if I have an answer to that.

I feel the proverbial spark beginning to burn and I don't know whether to fan it, or blow it out. It would seem to easy to brush this off and never speak to you again, wouldn't it? No matter how many times I tell myself that, I still find that I turn the corner hoping to see you there. I open my eyes seeing your face. I'm infatuated in such a way that it would be considered disturbing. It should disturb me, but it doesn't. I've begun imagining what life would be like by your side. I have yet to see your flaws. I have yet to hear your dark secrets, but for some reason, I don't think I'd care.

You've completely shaken my world. Demolished walls that I've spent years building. Smeared the blueprint that I had drawn up for my life. I'm enamored and I'm helpless to stop it. Please, my heart flutters a million miles a minute for
you. Don't kill it.

Inconsequential


I had a dream a dreamy dream this dream I had I cannot recall
a short time I did sleep, wich leads me to believe this dream to be small
the significance of this tiny dream I do believe the deepest of things
if only I knew what went on in my head in the deepest of sleeps
then someday I'd have all the answers to the most perplexing of inquasitions
but morning after morning I lie deep in though trying to recall the dreamy dream I dreampt
did I dream of you, or did I dream of them, dose it really matter in the end?
were there frightful things in my midnight dream?
did they make my body wish to scream?
I'll never know just how bad it was, what horrors happened in that dreamy dream I dreampt
or maybe it was beautiful, and everything was fine and dandy
I'm sure such a dreamy dream would come in quite handy
the memmories I'll never have of events never passed
am I really missing out? do I truely feel some deep loss
they are only dreams, dreams come and go, they move us, but only in our sleep
dreams are hopes and goals, bars set far to high, places we may never hope to reach
in the end it never matters, shortly after I awake any activity I did partake
the dreamy dream is lost awake

Lost soul through infinity, Only at you has thought...
And you say it doesn't matter...
Because all it was ... vanished...
Like I didn't even love you...
Like all I've said are only lies...It is my fault
And I don't know what to say...
I wonder if I could change the past...
To make you happy...I cry and I nod
Surprising....I try to believe...
I think I loose... you...
But reality is too... hard...Like my pure love...
It's the first time….When I'm scared...
Because I can loose... you...
And I loose all my power...
I'm trying very hard
To make you understand...And to explain...
Because I didn't forgot... you...
But you don't let... me......To explain...
And with all those things... You keep saying... that you... Love me.

March Original Thread


Rampant and it was
continuing to control their thoughts
the beat of the drum commanding
attentions of all dwellers here
heart beat racing to match
barely making it
how do they do that?
foot steps falling into rythm
unconscious of the path they take
nothing left in the wake
but those that
follow, follow
step back, center
"Dont lead, we lead."
"March"
The voice harsh, hard calling out
on top of this surface
a satisfying sound coming
from each repeating step
each resounding pound
follow, follow
"Move along."
march.

and the drummer falls
no witness to it all
but one who resisted
one so true
turned back into the march for you
"march."

a little bit of courage here
a little bit of truth withheld
let us lead the drummer back
let us lead the drummer back
let us lead the drummer back
to the place where he fell
He shall march again
In time with the drum
let us begin to fix it all
let us move on from the fall
let us lead the drummer back
"Don't lead, we lead
MARCH!"

Three Souls

I miss you
I miss what we had
The change can never be reversed
As the summer dew drops from the evening sky
Three bodies
One soul
One mind
One heart
As tight as a knot
Chains that can never be broken
But assumptions were wrong
Things never do last
Memories washed away in the rain
Three little kids that grew up
Grew up
And were lost in the abyss of the crowd
Crowded hall ways
Gigantic streets
Unforgetable days
And depressing nights
Teary eyes
And momentous laughs
But thats all gone now
Its all the past...

Cant trust what people say

"best friends forever " and "i'll always have your back"
its surprising how much meaning these two phrases lack .
"i love you" and "i miss you" and "you're everything to me"
not many people mean it, and some, half-heartedly .
"i promise" and "i swear it" and "trust me on this"
somehow these simple words contain a complicated twist .
so here's the lesson that i've learned in quite a hard way,
you cant always trust the things that some people tend to say .

[azn_at_heart]

ummm they're in my xanga.
plz dont make fun of them.
