ACCEPTANCE

I embrace the darkness within me,
And  twirl to the swirls it forms around me,
What a beautiful fate we birth,
The shadows and shallows of things concealed

I embrace the fire that burns within me
Dance to the leaping curling flames,
Scalding, scorching, blistering hot
Warming and glinting the joy within

RUNNING ON EMPTY

How am I a ghost,
Yet I am not dead?
Living and skulking in their shadows
While my life is terribly hollow.

Why are my joys tied to theirs
And my grief doubly so
Why am I weighed by a guilt of theirs
Yet their wrongs I do not know

In becoming part of the whole,
Did I lose myself,
Did I leave my individuality on the shelf
For these formless beasts to sell.

What happened to the soul that lived within,
When was its flame snuffed out,
when was it snapped from being?
This dead form clearly does not belong.

Villain

I will be your villain
Because I know
you need to hate me
You need to blame me
So I will be your villain,

I will be your villain,
because you know
You got bored
you found a knew love
and moved on
so I will be your villain

I will be your villain
Because you couldn't just go,
Because i had to have done wrong
Because I had to the one who is sore
so I will be your villain

I will be your villain
Because you could no longer talk,
Because you were weak
And ashamed to admit it
That you stopped communication
When that is what you longed for
So I am your villain
Be pleased and smear my name
I know you will,
Like you did to those before me
