TransparentFor what it's worth,
You had me,
For what it's worth,
I can see.

Shimmers past of...

I am the school counselor.
They arrive on their own, knocking, or just running in.
I always ask if they have permission.
Some do, many do not.
They need...

Would the World be a Better Place Without Pain?I live life for myself,
But I also live for those who did not get to.

For those who couldn’t...

Demons
I sit back an watch
Not saying a single thing,
Plotting till i cant think straight,
My brain boils with hate ,
Itself its trying to uncage
all the racing thoughts
giving way to rage

Dance In This Dangerous CircleWhen will you realize, deceiving eyes
that you've built a dangerous circle
in which I rejected and excluded?
You are happy to be called pretty,
you charm with a smile of dishonesty:

EpiphanyReflecting its neighbourhood,
The lake water shone yellow.
Resembling a synchronisation of saturation
With the setting sun.
Seizing green colour of the grasses
The Sun painted them gold.
Gazed pines dance spectacularly,
Only awakened with Sparrows' chirps,
And Robins' melodious songs.
Perched on...

Plain AffectedThe forest around her story damning the plains—
The littlest girl seen by the wind through the plains.
Green honey passes just by a bee's swirling wings;

Judging one and all
Negativity runs through her veins
Only she matters….all others insignificant...

Because honestly that's another line.
Another line that...

If only I could change the negative thoughts channel to the sports channel.
