THE LIVING
Tumultuous, young heart
You've been hurt many times
Yet always see the beauty
Your laughter after the pain
Is a serenade for the trees that have fallen
Unnoticeable but
with so much meaning
​
The Devil and I
See eye to eye on many things
Sometimes when I fall in love again
I turn to see if he's looking
She is the girl who will wait for a song to end
Laugh whole heartedly because she means it
Become sad for no reason
Ironically stands up for the weak
Genuinely loves, fully knowing every risk
She is the girl
with flowers in her hair
And stars in her eyes
I want to be the moon
Beautiful not for appearance
But for my presence can light up
A night sky
​
I want to be the sun
Too bright to be encompassed
Burning souls with my thoughts
My embrace engraved in their minds
​
You can be the darkest day
I will be a timeless,
Everlasting light
The greatest lie I told was when my parents were getting divorced, and they asked me how I was.
I said "I'm fine."
The next greatest lie was when you told me you loved me
And I said
"I love you too."
The sunflower faces the sun
But casts a large shadow
You are a straight line with a bold edge
I am an intricate maze.
With many dead-ends
and possibilities.
​
My hair is black
Like my sisters
It doesn't represent common darkness
It makes us bold
​
The brain says it's merely chemical reactions
Yet the heart makes sense of the tired mind
My brain battles my heart but knows,
it's excited with challenges
only love can bring
