I feel you crumbling in my arms
like a porcelain heart down
to the girth you fell so hard.
...

No one looks when we say goodbye
dying just to survive
all the things we set aside
all the friends we leave behind
...

Until it happens to you
you won't know it won't be real.

Just listen and see the truth,
...

Fear can make you stronger or weaker
it's up to you.

I learned, it's okay to not always be okay.
...

She's got diamonds in her eyes,
she glistens and shines.

Through the night I don't
...

Love use to be my friend,
it use to hold me kiss me,
and it kept me safe.
...

If I fall would you catch me?

I once stood on mountains,
swam the depths of the ocean,
...

love is rich with both honey and venom.

I collected many broken hearts over the years.
sat them in my glass jars of broken dreams,
...

Upon the rising of the sun
my dreams poured out upon the lukewarm beams,
as I began to stream
my light grew and grew.
...

I dear to set brush fires
in people's minds!
Revolution is action
upon revelation!
...

In the end!

After humanity has caught the last fish, after they dug up all that is left, after they cut down the last tree, and drank the last drop of clean water, only then will human beings see the devastation of their activities.
...

Memories are priceless
because they only happen
once in a lifetime.
...

Once upon a time I was happy,
wishful and strong.

But you came walking in on
...

My heart like porcelain,
break's fragile and bruised in between your fingers as you tightened your grip.

It got tighter each passing year,
...

I have more dead art pieces
than alive.

My inspiration is random
...

It's not clever to lie steal
and cheat, being honest is
clever and brave.
...

Let me help you step through
the looking glass so you can
see what's on the other side
of me.
...

Upon this plot I plant my roots,
row by row I built my garden.

I grew my thoughts like seeds
...

Anxiety takes me like a wave,
rolling over me choking me.

I reach for the shore and it
...

I am not a gender, I am a person
with thoughts ideas and I live.

You might think this is a man's world,
...
