The Key to World Peace
I wish the golden rule was made
into a law
and dependability
was a way of life
I wish people were not forgotten
and kindness was on the forefront
Good deeds never went unnoticed
and there was always a helping hand
I wish people could love people
for being people
no matter what people that may be
And ignorance was a memory
almost forgotten from society
I wish everyone would open their eyes
and value the individual they see
I wish all people, no matter what race, religion, or sexuality,
had the same opportunity
I wish we could all feel
the words that we say
the actions we do
the things we forget
Most of all,
I
I count down these last days
With songs of searing tears
They burn my face
As they fall from my hollow eyes
Waiting
Wondering
Do you love me?
I lose my thoughts
As I fall back into the flames
They wrap their melting arms and legs
Around my vapid body
My heart painfully crushes and fades
And all I'm left with,
A vision of you
Nothing else matters now
You're a thorn inside of me
…Let it burn…
I can taste
How bitter I've become
…Let it burn…
My heart breaks inside my chest
So many tears cause such unrest
I don't know how to make this right
I don't know how to stop this fight
I'd give my life for just one breath
I'd sacrifice it all
For your happiness
I want us to be forever and a day
But, for some reason, can't find the way
To stop these tears
To stop these fights
Over the years
It ends tonight
I want you to know
I love you so much
I'd give my all
For just one touch
Just one sweet kiss
Just one deep look
But time has come
To close this book
So goodbye my love
Goodbye sweet face
The time has come
To end this race
sleepless nights
spent alone
wondering how
I'll make it whole
these thoughts slither through
my head like snakes
round and round
their display cage
tangled up
and furious
these long black snakes
are deadly
they'll stare you down
with their deep red eyes
they'll search your soul
then skin you alive
I hate my snakes
but I can't let them go
they slither around
with all they know
and taunt me
bite me
break my soul
my wretched pain
you'll never know
these snakes are on display
but I can't let them out
because their deep dark desires
you can't know about
for they'll exit my head
and then enter yours
they'll ruin your
oh, beautiful ballerina,
tell me your thoughts
and dreams
your fluid motions
have mezmerized me
your perfect dance
brought me to my knees
Oh, sweet, sweet ballerina,
why do you wear a mask?
your white face
it scares me
your black eyes
so empty
I watch your face hide
but your body talks
soft and graceful
perfection
minute by minute
day by day
time trickles past
and so do you
the same dance
over and over
hypnotizing
but you fade away
as my eyes close
all I can see is black
I fight to see more
but my eyes fight back
visions of you
flow through the emptiness
and finally my eyes release me
from this nightmare
I see
A ghost of a soul,
So edgily drawn…
Black mascara runs down her face.
Her pale skin,
Grows gaunter still,
With every salty tear she tastes.
Her head, she hangs,
Her eyes look down,
You seem to pass her over and by.
Nobody notices,
Nobody still,
Can see her alone, when she cries.
A silent character,
A pleading stare,
A girl so little you can erase.
Nobody notices,
Nobody cares,
Nobody looks into her face.
Nobody sees the pain she feels,
Nobody sees the sorrow she hides.
Nobody truly sees inside.
Nobody even tries to heal,
Alone she cries on top of her bed.
An ocean of tears she has belied.
She's slowly drowning,
She do

Weak.Strong.Salvation
The clock is crawling,
Dragging itself across the floor.
Bleeding,
Broken,
Never ending ringing.
More…No more.
The time doth beat me,
and alone stand I.
Surrounded all,
By lights and buzz,
No more! will I cry.
I turn my face to Heaven,
The bleeding clock is in my hand.
I offer it up to God;
My one true love,
My sea, my land.
So I surrender it all to you,
The clock cradled close,
Me huddled on the ground.
I'm drowning in it's deep, black blood.
My weakness, I have found.
But strength I've found also,
In your warm, smiling face.
In your bleeding heart,
And your bleeding body.
My shining face, I raise…

I'm a 22 year old nursing student, currently living in North Vancouver. I don't get on here much, but when I do I love browsing mixed media art/foundational concept art. I also love reading poetry, and I write in my spare time. I have a small amount of my collection on here. Feel free to drop me a line with questions, comments, etc...I'd be happy to chat!

I am a very different person than I was a year ago. Very different indeed. My heart is bigger, but more cautious; my knowledge is more vast, but not as easy to grasp; my love is redirected, and growing every day; my god is a distant memory that I'm not sure I'll ever grasp again. My family, my friends, my entire concept of life has changed like the course of the sun. It feels like something so big and out of my control, but so wonderful and secure...I want to wrap myself in this feeling of contentedness with how life is developing. I feel more able to ingest and decipher life - in being more critical and balanced about my thoughts and decisio
