Must Be Saved

He dropped out

She starves herself

They know nothing but violence

 

He rapes and pulls triggers

She steals and abuses

They harm their own home

 

Every moment has pleasure

Spiked with pain

Lives are damaged

By sun and rain

What’s become of this world?

Why should chaos and superficiality rule?

The sanity we still have left

Must be saved

 

He sacrificed his future

She isn’t working to her potential

They tore another love apart

 

He broke her heart

She never loved him from the start

They teach their children

To be dominated by hate

 

We live

Some never learn

We cheat

We lie

We act like we’re happy

Then say goodbye

We destroy

We kill

We don’t always know what’s real

 

Through these hard times

Should the worst ones be saved

As they dig their own graves

Through the Soul

Everything I believe in

Woven into my core

The person I am

Full of love and with a plan

Someone who cares

Someone who understands

 

Awakening

Taking everything in

You’re either born free

Or born to sin

As the fog clears,

Will you slide down a rainbow

Or leap into flames

Life travels through the soul

 

Everything you’re against

Tangled up in your shriveled heart

The person you are

Full of hate and cruelty scars

Someone who doesn’t care

Someone who doesn’t understand

 

How can you turn away

From someone in need

Why do you shun

Those that are different

Do you have a reason

For shedding nothing but evil

No wonder your soul is so screwed up

Broken Open

You hide your fear

By forcing it into others

You try to act tough

So that people won’t stand up to you

But don’t you know

That karma is making its way toward you

 

Words can hurt

Then you make it worse

Leaving your victims scared and scarred

Adding humiliation

As they’re broken open

That doesn’t make you a good person

You’ll see when you’re all alone

Feeling sorry for yourself

Treated horribly

Who gets the last laugh now?

Once you’re the one

That’s broken open

 

You always have to be such a hater

Tell me how that makes you better

If it’s not nice, you can keep it to yourself

Your crowd won’t always get a kick out of hearing it

You won’t be respected

For being so mean

 

Sticks and stones can’t break a soul

No matter how much you try

Soon you’ll see how it feels

Once you’re no longer invincible

Rewind

I look cheerful on the outside

But on the inside,

I’m a total mess

I always feel so invisible

Miserable

 

But then I think back to that one time

So can’t I start over?

Can’t I rewind?

 

I just want to be that happy girl

Dancing around without a care in the world

I just want to play back that moment

When I was free to be me

Just wish I could turn back time

And rewind

This life

 

Every time I’m in a crowd

I can’t speak

No sound comes out

I miss when it all came so easily

My whole self would completely flow

So naturally

 

But then I think back to that one time

So can’t I start over?

Can’t I rewind?

 

Whenever I’m trapped

Whenever I sink to the ground

In frustration

It’s time to remember

That I wasn’t always like this

 

Go back

Rewind

To when you could

Unwind

Numb

I’m fine

Just tired

Nothing is wrong

Everything is like, so totally perfect!

Not

I’m constantly hit with mixed signals and signs

From the guy I like

Stress has me wired

Like a cell phone battery

Drained of its energy

911 deleted from speed dial

There’s not much I can do about it

I’m always tired

Thoughts and emotions going haywire

Yet, it’s like I’m a dysfunctional sane

Oxygen somehow still arriving to my brain

A calmness that…

Numbs everything

Even if only for a while

I can smile

Have no cares

The most irksome of challenges

I’m suddenly able to bear

Broken

But sloppily taped together

Temporary

Never forever

Tilting on the edge

But not quite

Just want to stay in bed

And at the same time, be saved by the light

Tingles, shivers, and shakes

Then it all goes blank

Empty

Yet full

Relaxing in holy matrimony

With the endurance of a bull

Numb

Nothing

Numb

Redefining

Numb

Climbing

Then sleeping

Something that’s extremely needed

Just numb

Imperfect perfection

Drifting

Take me

Make me your own

Touch me

Send chills through my every bone

Hold me

Lock me tight in your arms

Hypnotize me

Seduce me with your charms

Teach me

The best way to live

Carry me

Across the river of pleasure you plan to give

Kiss me

Like the angel and devil you are

Roll my body around

Like fast, passing cars

Control me

Dip me under your heavy steam

Love me

Forever and always

Until I’m drifting into your dreams

Interrogation Room

How can you look at someone

And be disgusted

Because they’re different

How can you make laws

That forbid someone’s love for another

Because you don’t know how to cope with

Your flawed system

How can you say

That “it’s for the good of the economy”

When you only help the ones

Who already know how to help themselves

Why would you repeat bloodstained history

For the sake of being greedy

Why is your religion

Superior to everyone else’s

Yes, you’re the government

But you don’t own the babies inside women

What right do you have to abuse your power

And trample every blooming, protesting flower

You’re hosting quite the party

Must be such a sadistic delight

To sip your secret agenda tea

And chat conservatively

What makes you think

That you can ignore the Constitution

And only cite it

When it sends you its best wishes

We the people

Have the responsibility

Of reminding you of it

Of your task to respect interests

That keep our world alive

We the people

Need to take the “I” out of divided

And work together to be united
