I want to be a bird
so beautiful and free
I want to fly like the wind
...

She walks away
from the fight
where past and present war
She walks away
...

We all say we know
what time is
but do we really?
Time is seconds
...

Eyes like a Doe
Hair like silk
Voice like a bird
Yet she wishes
...

Eyes shine bright
with the joy of finding
a Kindred Spirit
Someone who understands
...

Spirit grow dim
as she sits in her desk
with nothing to do
nothing to inspire her
...

Blade meets skin
Where ice meets heart
and causes her no pain
she looks in wonder
...

In my world
I see others
On the outside
Looking in and judging me
...

Between Dusk and Dawn
When the world sleeps
and the countryside is dark
shining the brightest
...

I always believed
The world was a beautiful place
Filled with flowers and chirping birds
And everyone loved everyone
...

Can you feel me?
Holding you safe,
Here in my arms.
I feel your heartbeat,
...

I see her
In the Mirror
And she looks back at me
With eyes of glass
...

Make-up
to hide her tears
Black clothes
to shroud her uncertainty
...

What does love
really mean?
Today, it seems,
love is all about
...

Tell me again
Say it once more
that I am beautiful
let me know
...

Nails dig into flesh
Teeth bite into skin
as she tries
to chase away images
...

...

Live not in the past
For it is done
Live not in the future
For it doesn't exist, nor will it ever
...

Rose as red as apples
Beauty to which
None can compare
Closes up
...

I'm not perfect and never will be
But that's perfectly ok with me
Because flaws create diversity
Diversity creates beauty
...
