Live
is lived on the edge, the edge of a razor, the edge of the world. Bold and
brave at heart, you will live and be rewarded for your bravery. Though many
others here tread the same path right now, yours is marked different because of
the paths you have taken and the other paths you are taking. Courage is your
heart pounding, yet slipping in among the wolves and the lions and slyly
stealing their knowledge from under their noses. Hold your head up high, make
them turn aside. Meet their eyes and watch them turn away from the fire in
yours. They cannot match you, because they are small, and will never know the
chalice that you drink from. They tell you the sky is the limit: you know that
the stars are your friends. They tell you give it all you have, little
imagining that their receptacle is far too small to hold a fraction of what you
contain. Spread your wings and leave them behind, these ants, these people who
will never know greatness. Each in their own way is precious and unique, but
you are cut from a different cloth. To compare between them and yourself is to
compare trees and skyscrapers, albeit in a glorious vice versa. They will never
know the glories of your imagination, which allows you in turn to wonder at
their highly prized mundaneness. Leave them be, for it is not your place to
show them theirs. It is your place to glow quietly, a great flame hidden among
the ashes and the embers.

Seasons Pass
Cherry blossoms
falling down
Rainclouds look
upon the ground
I will stay with
you today
Far too soon you’ll
go away
Chlorine kisses on
my skin
Days like this I never
win
All our faults don’t
count as sins
Not to kith and
not to kin
August Sundays ever
sweet
Bringing back my
memories
When will you
return to me
As I wait so
patiently
City glowing far
behind
Angels dancing in
my mind
Wings of white
with starry eyes
They see right
through my lies.
Mental Release
Now the rust is out of the pipes, I'll try to write more.
(P.S: I've been having trouble with my laptop so I have to use a different computer and it messes with my mind.)
(P.S: I've been having trouble with my laptop so I have to use a different computer and it messes with my mind.)
Imagine, all the time.
Make it loud, make it real. Turn the volume up and get lost in your sound.
Sakura rainclouds, drifting on by. Reality doesn’t stand a chance, and that’s
the way it should be. Fingers flowing across bowstrings, book pages, typewriter
keys, paper. Write your story and leave it behind. Me comes easier than be, if
you know what I mean. Heartbeats haunt you, turning into Heart Beasts that
chase down the songs you love. White and black, strict lines and the lines become
easier to comprehend when you draw them yourself. Take it away and show what
always was underneath your skin. Show the raw talent and the perfected product,
show the things you know you can do better at, but don’t know how. Take the people that stay, kiss
their cheeks, and let them go. It’s the critics you need to win over. Change
isn’t easy, but it needs to happen. Let them go and let then grow. Golden
leaves flowing in the green breeze, a zephyr of thought blowing everything else
away. Storms roll on and leave memories of their silver linings, echoes of
their golden noises. Watch the instruments and fade in, fade out as you dance
across the keys, a perfect miniature. Listen to the voices change. Don’t look
behind, and don’t get stuck down on earth. Dancing angels across my screen, and
I see red through the black, with stars scattering every which way. Windows open,
and can’t be seen through. When fresh and new meets old and wise, one will
learn and one will break. Surprise, surprise, you will never know which one. Yellow
and orange, take it away and leave my mind for a while. All these lines, as if
they are drawn across my skin, give me peace, give me rest from my restless
thoughts. Now take them, and go, repeat these ideas you don’t understand,
because that is how you will realize why they were written.
