Literature Text

I'm proud to be an outcast
But I'm proud to lead the fight
For though the dark is rising
We will always see the light.

I'm proud to lose my body
But I'm proud to lift my eyes
For though the pain is sharper
We will always break the ties.

I'm proud to sweat and suffer
But I'm proud to stand up tall
For though the others stumble
We will always break their fall.

I'm proud to watch the moonrise
But I'm proud to end the day
For though the season's over
We will always find a way.

Travelling By

What do I see as we race down the street? The fog is still billowing thick The treetops are blurry, the air is still cold In the shadows of somewhere unknown. What do I see when I pause here and stare As the background goes travelling by? The lights start appearing like bright little stars Then are covered by forest and die. A tower, a side street, all lit bright enough For a heavy-eyed driver to see Did you know trucks have lights on the cargo box But they don’t cast their shine on the street? I see the reflections of the other side The sleeping, the restless, they try The clouds start to clear and the branches are sharp On the roll

Valentine's Day

On this day is love so grand? How does this change from before? Now it seems like a simple brand, but love is love and not a law. It comes and goes like little black swallows, you can choose with the heart and mind; than just the face in which you might follow a path that's blind and entwined. Oh the lost and alone do not weep, the stars can only start to spring and sprout as the coils of clockwork are truly deep it can be hard to find and come about. Time is time do not rush, one day I am sure you will find that crush.

Your Lies have almost took my life

Your Lies have almost took my life Your Lies have almost took my life, Pretty blind, now I see your knife, Cutting me down to earth, Do you even know how much that hurts? Of course you do, Because it's you, It's fun to see me on the ground , Look around ,look around! All my pain is your work All my blood your joy, Am I just your little voodoo toy? Am I the dork? And yes, you're really made it, Looking at me I'm on my knees Begging for my life, which seems to flee And all the flames ,they hit and hurt Goodbye my life ,goodbye my love Your lies have took me life…

Stand up

Sinking down, Look around, Slipping through the cracks. Never knowing, Where you're going, Always have to ask. You never lie, You touch the sky, You're never coming down. Touch the wall, Leave them all, Go and wear your crown. It's all a game, They're all to blame, It's never going to end. So stand up tall, Stand against the wall, Prove that you won't bend. It matters not, If one is hot, Only if one is kind. You can fight, For what is right, You're not alone, you'll find. You can win, Against this sin, And you can prove your worth. Just stand up tall, Back against the wall, And throw them to the hearth!

Prisoner

her dreams all broken loose. Memories, unconfined, escaped her past, they roost now in the tangles of her disordered present.

xii.

Pink. My father planted cherry blossom seeds into my arms when I was young. My mother taught me to hide them so I kept quiet about the tiny flowers growing down my sides. I pinned prayers to the walls of my room. Blue. I can still taste the sting of veins against my cheek. Salt and blood. I choke on the sound. Green. What was the colour of his eyes again? I don't want to remember. Yellow. Morning. The sun hides behind my curtains and I pull the blanket over my head. The screaming suddenly stops and so does my breathing. Red. Salvation in blood. I grew up with it splattered against my skin, is it any surprise I fell in love wi

Careful Heart

You should know my heart is careful - Careful, slow, and deep; So before you say you're falling, Look before you leap. I have patched a dozen heartbreaks, Small though they may be; So before you say you're falling, Please just wait for me. You should know my mind is racing, Though I seem just fine; You must feel my hands are shaking - Fingers wrapped in mine; Lead me gently, gallant stranger, I'm not far behind; But before you say you're falling, Give me lots of time.

They Left Me to the Monsters

Across the meadows and all the "No Trespassing" signs, I sought swamp trees whose sorrows were written on their skin. Gnarled limbs, crippled and conquered with disease Rotting bark succumbing to the feathery moss. The fireflies had made this their home, And I made it my sanctuary. I was fourteen years younger Sitting on a painted bench with my name carved into the wood. There I found a bull frog. Flies enticed by its carcass. He captured me, with his severe condition Of what I assumed was just his dead body. I was sure he could still hear me. I thought he might croak as a sign to assure me That his soul was still lingering in this foresty

Wrote this in 15 minutes in English class today. The theme was "pride."

A tribute to all my marching band friends. Thanks for a great season, everyone.
