Ripple
Like a symphony on the surface,
Leaving distortion in its place.
Sometimes clear yet misty,
In its wet reflection
It causes things to settle,
Change and begin again
But the one thing that I doubt I will ever see
Would be a single wave of it across the surface
Like a symphony on the horizon of my reflection

I really don't think you understand
How strong my feelings are
I must admit I hadn't planned
What's happened to us so far
A secret trusted
Trust abused
My weapon rusted
Left with thoughts askew
I really just don't know what to do
The fact is that I love you
<3

[Cosmic~Wallaby]

So much stress
I cannot address
The pressure created
From people I hated
I feel quite frail
Just pray I don't fail

Silver stared up at the mounds of dirt, roots sticking from the edges, the top and inside, like huge fangs.Her gaze traveled around the landscape to look upon the sodden pieces of moss and grass torn from their place. The blue sky turned dull as thick, black smoke rose through a pipe and out into the sky. She sighed. People, her own kind, were tearing down the beautiful nature that surrounded the suburban area. No, the people had no intention on caring about animals, nor did they remember that trees create oxygen. Oxygen that these greedy people breathe, each inhale taken for granted. I couldn't let this nonsense go any further. I eyed the nearest person. He was cutting down one of the oldest trees in her town. Sawdust splattered like blood onto the ground. Silver gritted her teeth. She slowly began to arch downward, soon on her hands and knees. Brown hair sprouted from her body, her mouth and nose stretched until it was as long as a wolf's muzzle. She looked like a wolf now. Just a regular wolf. She gave a short bark at the man. Before he could turn, Silver was tearing at his sweaty neck. Warm blood dripped from her muzzle. Giving an unsatisfied sigh, she stared down at the lifeless body. When she looked up, people surrounded her. One fired a needle. A sleep needle. Silver knew she had no more time to take it out, so she lay down and waited for it to come. Moments later, she was asleep.

Silver woke up, noticing she was still a wolf.Her paws were pinned to a steel table with cuffs. She looked around. Colorful chemicals looped quickly through beakers. A scientist rushed over to Silver, seeing she was awake. She looked up. The scientist held two tubes with a needle at the end. The tubes were connected to the beakers. Uh-oh. She sighed as she felt the needles sink into her skin. She watched as the scientist pressed a large button. Chemicals from each of the beakers rushed through tubes, out of the needle and into her blood. The chemicals provided some weird energy. She slipped from the cuffs, killed the scientist and ran away. She turned back into a human. All of that was worth the environment.

Mother, mother, don't you see?
All these scars that decorate me.
Mother, mother, you wouldn't believe.
That you are the cause for over three.

Sister, sister, I've got so much envy,
you're oh so perfect, compared to me.

Brother, brother, you're so dear, you see.
Even though you're insults cut into me.

None of you noticed as it got worse.
None of you noticed my absence.
The numbers grew, I counted them.
It's now to thirty-eight...
It seems like such a high number,
for all those scars that decorate me.

I began to regret, regret.
Told my best friend, who I respect,
She was upset, asked me to stop,
I promised her I would.
Even though I did not.

Regret, Regret.

I'm getting better, don't you see?
Three weeks of being clean.
I took your concealer, to cover all these.
They're so ugly, disgracing me.

I consider giving that knife,
to that dear friend of mine,
though my mind screams no,
wanting the knife to stay close.

I promised myself,
that if it gets worse,
I'll hand the knife to that friend.


I'm getting better, don't you see...?

Your kind words,
You're beautiful smile,
I love it all...
But I can't have you.
You're above me,
You're someone everyone wants,
I'm just the girl across the way,
The one who's been your friend the whole time,
The one who'll be there when you need me.
It hurts when I see you with her,
But you're happy,
So, that makes me happy,
When she breaks your heart,
And you need a friend to comfort you,
I'll be there waiting,
Waiting for you to notice,
The girl that wants you to sing your music to her,
The one that was there when you wrote those using a keyboard,
The titles,
They made me feel good,
Made me feel like I was important,
Then she was brought into it all,
My perfect picture,
Was taken,
But I'll get it back,
I always will have hope.
I just have to remember to smile for you.

I ran through the undergrowth, the dogs hot on my heels. Screech squealed as he dangled from my mouth. I did not care about myself. I cared about Screech. I heard jaws clicking together, rapid, continuous barking, and huge paws pounding after me. I glanced at an upcoming cliff. I bunched my energy and jumped. As a cat, I was more agile. The dogs’ barks were all I could hear. Paws and claws tore at the cliff. I placed Screech down. His wide eyes glimmered with fear. “It will be okay,” I told the wolf pup. Screech slowly edged towards the small cliff, looking down at the dogs leaping and barking and howling. “Screech, not that far!” I yowled. I was too late. A large set of jaws grabbed the wolf pup by the tail and dragged him down the cliff. I heard Screech yelping helplessly as the dogs carelessly tore at his skin. All this pack of dogs wanted to do is give anything they can a long, painful death. I shook my fur, unsheathed my claws, a jumped off of the cliff, landing on the biggest dog. They all turned around and began giving me huge, painful bites. I couldn’t fight them off. Before I could die, they left me to. I looked at Screech. He wasn’t bitten badly, but some blood soaked his fur. “S-song….?” He asked, voice shaking. I slowly opened my eyes. “Come with me….” I murmured. “I cannot let you starve in this world.” I sighed, unsheathed my claws, and raked them down Screech’s neck. He nodded painfully and curled up next to me. I felt his breathing slowly stop. Moments later, mine did, too.

I run through the green
My branches thrashing wildly in the breeze
My bark, compared to many others, is smoother
With cobwebs clinging to most of me, except for my branches and roots
A tree I may seem, tall and free
Yet a creature who breathes is what I am
I may seem strange, to be like a piece of vegetation so green
Yet deep down many see, the real creature within me

[Mz. Hyde]

His footsteps lurk
In the silence of the night
Silently stalking
Pulling open the doors
To the house, and to my veins

I hear his breathing
Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale
Hide as far down the bed as I can
Reach for a weapon
Never at the ready

They tried to take my phone
From my bedside
My only comfort
In the hours of darkness

For when I heard their screams
Echo from the next room
I could call the police
And save at least some
Before I too
Was taken

And as his footsteps lurk
In the hours of darkness
A million years until I can again
Breathe and awaken

Just to open my eyes
And see that it's not him
The morning light is the comfort
But it's beauty seems
Forever away.

[Mz. Hyde]

Deathly silence
The monsters tear at my limbs
Trying to draw me down
To their level

Then I hear her screams
In the night
And see blood, luscious blood
They have succeded
But this payment

Makes it all okay
I reach out
And let them take me too

Blood, luscious blood
And some more delicate scars
To decorate my skeletal body

Finally beautiful.

_____________________

Terrified
Missing your eyes
Your smile
The softness of your heart
Beating rhymically against mine

Refuse to believe
That it's you
In the black wooden box
That your body is cold
And that your soul
Is finally free

That you're finally at peace
Without me by your side

Don't go through with this
Please, heautiful, I beg of you
Don't try to change yourself

I love you just the way you are
Alive and well
Silently content

I miss you
Angel.
