Here is one of the songs I wrote c:

I'm walking the barren streets alone
On my own, it's so cold
I'm standing amidst all of my fears
They're all here, I should know...

But you can't break me down now
I'm already out
I'm up and away
Into the light of day
I'm flying high
I was born this way
Born to run away

I'm chased along the empty road
With my fears, they're my load
I don't freeze up, I don't get scared
I'll take the dare, crack the code

Why am I standing here?
When I could be
Soaring so far away
Into the light of day
I'm flying high
I was born this way
Born to run away
But you can't break me down now
I'm already out
I'm up and away
Into the light of day
I'm flying high
I was born this way
Born to run away
Born to run away

And here is a poem that I wrote about horses

"Wish of the Soul"

Thunder rolls across the grass
Reliving all those moments passed
Wind and sky, rushing breaths
Swirling clouds of dust he left
Coiled muscles, rippling mane
Far from mild and quiet and tame
Racing legs and drumming heart
Horseback riding's more than art
Spirit is something you can't rein in
Holding back freedom is folly and sin
No strength of will can ever control
The power of thunder, the wish of the soul

Those are amazing! I love them. The song is perfect, I can only imagine how it sounds. C:

Lonely Life

Lonely on the land I walk,
Lonely cross the sea I sail,
Lonely air of beach I stroll –
This lonely life doth take its toll.

Lonely trek of woodland trail,
Lonely mist in haze o’ dawn,
Lonely spies the bird of prey
In lonely circles all astray.

Lonely be the dark of night
When sleep is but a yearning wish,
To dream of sweet companions close,
As wine would pair with diner's dish.

Lonely do these thoughts me make
That draw my blood of precious life;
Replace with stream of flowing pain
To bless my veins with coursing strife.

Lonely years are now my friends,
Lonely cries bereft of sound,
Lonely tears that cool my face
In lonely life of sullen pace

[Dogfish]

Riddle me this.

I have many forms,
like all the storms,
I am quick in air,
but to light I can't compare.

What am I?

lightning?

No, it's sound.

Again, just like last year,
I wait up for him,
The one that never comes.
I’ve been good,
I promise,
But he’s just never around.
Santa Claus, where are you?
Why don’t you ever come?
I’ve waited for years,
Crying my tears,
But still you’re never around.
I’ve decided to stop
Crying for what’s not,
Done with the lies in my head.
He’s not going to come,
Not this year,
Or ever at all.
Santa Claus, where are you?
Why don’t you ever come?
I’ve waited for years,
Crying my tears,
But still you’re never around.
I guess I’m not good enough,
Not noticeable or cute,
Not pretty or smart,
But I don’t see why,
You just never come around.
Santa Claus, where are you?
Why don’t you ever come?
I’ve waited for years,
Crying my tears,
But still you’re never around.
Why are you never around?
Santa, please come around.


Now something happier

On this day when dreams come true,
Underneath the tree,
I just want to be with you,
And you to be with me.
-Merry Christmas, ADreamer'sNightmare

Close your eyes,
learn to sleep,
Imagine dark skies,
count the sheep.

Drif into a haze,
sleep little child,
Fear not, you'll pass this phase,
let your dreams be undisturbed and mild.



It's a lullaby, hopefully I'll finall get sleep.

Insomnia is a b***h
My dang god
It's close to one AM
So it's Christmas Eve now
I guess
Insomnia is such a
WEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRDD thing
Because you are never tired while
You're staying awake
And at the same time
All you want is to sleep
But not sleep
Just to rest
But I think I'm so afraid to sleep
Because if I do,
Something might happen.
I could die
(Which would suck, I think)
Or she could die
(At that point, I might as well die, too)
Or just anything.
I want to sleep
But I'm scared to dream
Because the nice dreams
Usually end as nightmares
About her
And her
And her
And him
And I wake up crying
Again
For the third time this week
Feeling like a crazy person
Wishing she was here to talk to
Even though she's usually not
It'll be the end of me, this
Dreaming.

Something I evidently wrote at around one AM last night. Like, it was the 24th at one, and now it's about twenty... eight? nine? hours later. But I have no recollections of writing it... Anyways, I found it in my phone notes, it's directly copy and pasted... Weird...

These are all so cool.. :)
I'll post more soon, but i'm very busy at the moment :)

Stay with me.

Stay with me don't leave,
for all you haven't seen,
the true beauty in this earth,
and every new born birth,
Stay with me don't leave,
I need you too believe,
The truth inside,
never was a lie,
stay with me don't leave,
the whole world will grieve,
so take my hand,
and understand,
that i don't want you to leave.
But you'll be in my heart,
until we depart,
and misfortune will lead the way,
we will follow,
hand in hand,
our lives up there,
will still be unplanned,
so stay with me here,
and you'll have many choices
and God will retrieve all the voices,
lost,
cold,
mad,
old,
dead,
alive
conceived to fly.
stay with me don't leave,
for all you haven't seen,
the true beauty in this earth,
and every new born birth.

Reaching out
To hold you close
But you don't want me to hold you

I'm sorry for your loss
But I do know how you feel

Pushing us all away
And not letting anyone see
Just how bad you are

Angry at the world
For taking her away
But, honey, we can't turn back time

The look in your eyes is empty
But still you remember
Days past

She loved you all so much
But now it's time to say goodbye
Let me save you from the depths of your mind

Before you become too lost to return

I'm still here
And I remember.

___________

Big, beautiful eyes
Slowly closing
Hold her cold body
Against your chest
As her heart beats one last time
She gives a pitiful cry
Her limbs grow limp
And you know this is

Goodbye.
