\\What makes us human?//

。Peace 。

『 Is there such a thing as peace?
If there is... Tell me why we fight
Tell me why we cry
What is the notion of peace...
When there is no such thing?

Why do we hope for peace...
When we all started to war?
Is it because we are foolish?
Or, is it, because of our total weakness?

Tell me why if you who say know all, know all
Why our hearts yearn for something nonexistent?
We say we want peace
But refuse to listen to others.

Is it human nature?
Is that why peace is so far away?
Is it because we are selfish and cowardly?
Or is it simply the cause of our own contradictions?

Tell me why we have no peace.
Or simply, does it have no answer? 』

Time will say nothing but I told you so,
Time only knows the price we have to pay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

If we should weep when clowns put on their show,
If we should stumble when musicians play,
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

There are no fortunes to be told, although,
Because I love you more than I can say,
If I could tell you I would let you know.

The winds must come from somewhere when they blow,
There must be reasons why the leaves decay;
Time will say nothing but I told you so.

Perhaps the roses really want to grow,
The vision seriously intends to stay;
If I could tell you I would let you know.

Suppose the lions all get up and go,
And all the brooks and soldiers run away;
Will Time say nothing but I told you so?
If I could tell you I would let you know.

—W.H. Auden

I'm a hopeless romantic
For him I still care,
Have my heart crashed every time I fall
Even though it's not fair...

I'm a hopeless romantic
Keep thinking he's th one
Even when he turns away,
Leaving me behind, wishing he wasn't gone...

I wanna be a lovesick fool
Don't trust anyone with my heart
Not caring to impress him,
Not missing him when we're apart...

I wanna be a lovesick fool
Live my own life, do it my way
Sing and dance with my friends
Not caring for what he'll say...

But I'm still a hopeless romantic
My heart still breaks, but I always get up
Promissing to be a lovesick fool from now on,
Swearing I will never again give a f*ck...

I keep living, falling, trying to find someone
To be, with me,
A lovesick fool and a hopeless romantic.

Here comes the pain that's in my heart,
Here comes the goodbye,
Here comes the silence I'll hear from you,
It never being the same as it was yesterday
I'm sorry it had to be this way, I wish it didn't
But in the end I had to decide,
Please forgive me

Here comes the love that is lost between us
Here comes the change
Here comes the tears that will fall down
I'm sorry it had to be this way, I wish it didn't
But in the end I had to decide,
Please forgive me

Here comes the last time I'll ever see your face
Here comes the sleepless nights
Here comes me wishing things would be the same
Please forgive me

Whenever I see a playground, it's August of 2003,
And I'm playing around, doing what I do best.
But that is not my story.
My story is struggling to make friends,
Being rejected, and often bullied.
I was the peculiar one, the nerd, the ugly duckling,
The stray dog that nobody wanted, and the klutz.
I begged and begged to be home-schooled.
But my attempts at begging were rebuffed.
One girl had taken it too far,
Pushing me beyond the limit, crossing the line.
"I've had enough," I finally said. "I'm sick of this!"
So, I pushed her into the closet door,
But I didn't hurt her. I would never do that. It's wrong.
Guess who got in trouble. Me. Facts were learned,
And all bullying stopped for the year.
Now, I'm not longer aloof or insecure.
I have friends, and I've come out of my shell.

Blessed are we
On our darkest of night
Blessed are we
When we hit Her morning light

Blessed are we
As wind whispers our names
Blessed are we
As we learn through our mistakes

Through time after time
We learn our love
Time after time
As She is sent from above

Blessed are we
As we live our lives
Blessed are we
Our tears are clear as the sky

Blessed are we
When we are done
Blessed are we
When we are bright as the Moon and the Sun

She watches us
To make sure we're safe
From the dangers unfolding
As the sun sets

You hold a mask of betrayal,
as your summer air scented body feels as if it might fall, you've reminded yourself again and again that you're no more than another face to me.

You hold roses in your clenched hands,
you told me each petal is for every lie of mine you forgave, and now our lovely mess of trust is beginning to fade.

Promised me you'd build yourself a grave, in the middle of Autumn where we first met and never thought you'd get to say good-bye.

The night welcomes you into arms you call innocent, it wants you to follow it down to the sea, the night in which you used to hide from.

I want to scream 'I'm sorry'
I can't say anything,
nights before, I let your roses die.

The look of betrayal that lingers upon your face, underneath the love that's obvious in your eyes,
'I'm okay' you say,
and just like that, the night took you.

Alone i sit,
reminiscing about the past,
stuck in the present and
wondering what the future has in store for me!

i have been on this road before, many times,
all alone and none to care for,
but now things are different, things have changed;

walking the line between sanity and insanity,
carefully balancing this little existence of life,
fear, pain, happiness, frustration, anger, dreams, love and worry,
all hidden beneath these sleepless eyes;

scrambling through this barbed wire (of life),
searching for a light in the darkness,
screaming and fighting, weighed down
by life’s many complications and expectations;

as the night approaches, the storm has passed, for now,
i try to sleep, i try to rest, as i lay quietly,
while my dreams nurse me back to health,
to fight another day;

so into the long night’s dream, I trudge along,
with no one else in sight,
looking for stars in the dark,
as i hold on to fight another day;

Can Words Describe
Can words describe the beautiful individual you are
Can it really put altogether what you really are,
for you are special
It is easy to see that God spent extra time with you
My heart is enlighten just by knowing that you are in safe hands,
that I need not worry, nor draw any concern
I pray that in time we'd be good friends, but if not so, then
not so
I pray for the opposite, for the thought of being friends
is something worth fighting for
And no words can't describe the type of person you are, and
that's okay, cause it is better to show it anyway

The moon rises as my soul falls
Into a sea of nothingness
Bleak and barren I stay there waiting for
For a love that will never come
My life is now an infinite loop of sorrow and hurt
Now that you're gone
The crickets serenade a song of sad romance
The story of my life
As I walk along the road less taken
The road of depression
And heart shattering tragedies
That bring the little joy I have
To an untimely end
When I need it most love cannot be found
And I am alone left to wander the realms of my mind
Without a hand to lead me out of the darkness
Onto the light and into a peace of mind
And a fully mended heart
Full of some hope
But I am but a wallflower
Blending in with the walls as I watch people go into
The blinding light of pure happiness

How do you feel mad
Sad
Happy glad
I know what your thinking that this poem is whack
But my mind is empty like a black hole
All my ideas are gone like someone stole
Them away for them never to return
This lost of inspiration makes me want to shout
Something is wrong like a sad kid without a pout
Why can't I write something creative
Somebody help me somebody find them
Find my ideas they're precious to me like a rare jem
Please writers block come another day
Maybe I need to clear my head and get some air
Find people I can share
My horrible bitter writers block
