Icarus,

Icarus,

you mesmerize me.

You always have done; you always will be

the youth who defied his own gods, so boldly.

Why must to your tale be so steeped in tragedy?

Mortal child? Mortal person, the sun itself can't sine as brightly.

The sun itself can't shine as brightly as you,

Icarus.

You left your hairbrush at my house the last time you were there,

Two years ago.

It's clean, as usual,

You never were the messy type.

It's missing some of the bristles,

Kind of like how my heart's still missing a few pieces.

Sometimes, I sit on the rooftop and cry.

Right next to the spot that's worn out from how may times you sat there with me when nights were dark and cold.

I remember one night,

My anxiety got to me really bad,

And I ran to the roof,

Just because I knew you'd follow.

That was the first time that you didn't.

The first time that you stayed downstairs to talk and laugh with,

Her.

When I didn't show up to dinner,

You didn't look,

When I didn't say good bye,

You didn't ask why,

You just left.

And you never came back.

And that same hairbrush still sits on my dresser.

And that same spot on the rooftop remains.

And it's collecting dust.

We're moving away soon.

And you won't know about it.

And neither will she....

She won't know how many years we spent on that rooftop.

4,365 days,

Just over 11 years.

She'll never know that you flip your hair because of anxiety,

Not to flirt.

And you'll never know how I felt about you.

Because you're gone.

So tell me,

After 2 years,

I should have moved on right?

Well,

How do I forgive,

When you never apologized?

I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

We'll watch the fish swim by us above

I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

We'll be written in blood and in love

I'll be under the sea where Icarus is

Truth hurts

Mint leaves leave the house

House of trees

To meet the taste

Taste of a tea

When we put mint leaves into the teapot

It gives the vibes to chill

Chill out till you meet the roots

Roots of the tree

When we can’t find the start

Start of life

We will begin to hurt ourselves

In order to kill the pain

You gotta survive through the worst nights

When you do

You will find a star

Only shine for you

It will be the gateway to the miracle

I seek salvationJust like the rest of youYou seek liberationI also seek that too———We’re not so different, you and meAnd I know love will set us free I know love will set us free Seeking full equality———True transformationThe heartbeat of the land Dauntless retributionThe waters in your hand———We’re not so different, you and meAnd I know love will set us freeI know love will set us freeSeeking full equality———You’ll be able to hold to the truthNever let them take itYou’ll be able to live by the truthAgainst their greed and hatred———We’re not so different, you and meAnd I know love will set us freeI know love will set us freeSeeking full equality

Fatherland oh Fatherland you want to sculpt and mould me

Sculpt me mold me, paint and press me into conformity

Materials so pretty, made of murdered bodies

Make me love and want and own the lifestyle of finery

———

I’d rather die than have your selfish morals

I’d rather starve than eat when others can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

You don’t make me feel sorry with your rant

———

Motherland oh Motherland you bleed but still you guide me

You bleed and guide, you weep inside, and you always worry

Your loss, grief, and poverty. Your lies and honesty.

No matter what rulers say I give you my loyalty

———

I’d rather die than go against your morals

I will not eat because your people can’t

I’ll give all I have for love universal

I’ll follow you no matter how they rant

———

Fatherland hits Motherland

He shouts and screams and rages

Economy fuelled by blood

Her people must earn wages

Fatherland hits Motherland

He thinks he is a good man

Her stitched mouth and soul that floods

I must do all that I can

———

I’d rather die than have Fatherland’s morals

I will not eat because Motherland can’t

Humanity is for love universal

I heed her silenced I don’t heed his rant

Dear depression, do you think that you can stop me?I know the answer, but I see you getting cockyI've seen you win this battle numerous timesBut you ain't ever gonna take a life that's rightfully mineI understandThat your intention is to infiltrate my mindAnd plant these little seeds of doubt that grow into a massive vineThat wrap around my head until I can't get looseYou started doing this already so you cannot loseAt least you thinkBut who's the one that's in control everythingThat has to with I how I functionRight, that's meSee I have grown an understanding of the things you doYou're a part of me, but not meSo I cannot loseI'm a product of an illness I was born withMy momma has anxiety and that's what I was formed inI tried to live a life that I was constantly ignoringThe truth about my mental state but that wasn't rewardingThe way that facing up to it isAnd understanding that it's not a shameful thing to admitI'm not okay sometimesAnd that sometimes is a bitDauntingAnd at times it makes feel like a kidThe way that I create imaginary scenarios in my headAnd fear them to the point that it gives me an existential dreadThat's greater than the fears that I have grounded in realityBut that's just what it's like to be living in your anxietyWe gone be alrightJust give it some timeThe more that we fight this fightThe more that anxiety dies

silly little moon,who could only ever love the sun.greedy sun,who forever coveted the stars.mischievous stars, who led on the sun,but could not stop from falling in love with the moon.and lonely, lonely earth,could not help but fall in lovewith the ideas of them.we,as in you and me,are like the sunand the moon,and the stars.(even earth, in all it's loneliness,but at least the earthhas the sky for company)we fall in love with all the wrong people,and can only watch as they fall in love with another(who is not me, or youand will never be you, nor me.)

In your smile, I discover undiscovered galaxies of love, and your touch is a melody that has never echoed before.

Every moment with you is an original symphony, and your words are verses brought by the love wind for the first time.

Through the labyrinth of the mysterious vortex of your heart, where no thought has tread, I find magic that has not been felt before.

Your love is an unexplored continent, and our story is an untold adventure that is just beginning.

In your embrace, I feel the pulsation of undiscovered emotions, and every moment spent with you is time that knows no past.

You are my unread chapter, and your love story is a book waiting to be written, as pure as the white paper where you will remain, my eternal love pen.

Seen the People Who

Believe the lies

All of they Life

Till they are blinded by the light

They won’t see the lies lying on the mind

Who makes them realize

It won’t survive until you make it right

It will be too late to fix

The light

If you didn’t know

Where to turn the light to remove the dark night

Which

Covered with true life

You think you are fine

You let them in

You fall hard for them

You gave them everything of you

They take away and break it into pieces

They leave you with a broken heart

So you shut everything out

You don’t let anyone in again
