Be something new

Guess
What thing
Each stanza is about
Let me know what you got
You ready?

You were a fighter when I saw you
Your brain different from the others
But when you disappeared
It made my smile go away
I still see your face
The same I remember
But here no mo...

I liked to break things
I wished to not see
Unfortunately, I yielded no control over my happenings
The consequence was misery,
And forgoing
Someone once asked me
How to move up without fighting
The enemy
You canāt, so stop lingering
In fact, it you and I had been held in disbelief
An airy feeling
That seeps in, contortedly
Is not one that is welcoming
When it has been
Said that no man is an island...
A start
A side
A quiet ,query place that wanders
A solitary corner
A empty abyss
A unfamiliar space
A little more than an empty room
A few feet away in a dark corner
A light breeze that fades
No Place Like Home,
No Place Like Home
My home
So comfortable
So comforting
So uplifting
So bright
My home
So beautiful and so peaceful
So much love
So happy
So many more years together
So much...
I'm so scared
My skin is bare
My hands are bound
I make no sound
Red, white, blue flashing
Your body crashing
I scream your name
Youre not to blame
Your body's cold
You sold your soul
To those streets
Where you get beat
My name is Starr
I'll raise the bar
To get revenge
For you I'll avenge...
I can imagine
Imagine as much I like
I can imagine...
Delusion is my dearest friend.
Delusion is my cruelest foe.
I wear it like a suit of steelā
shiny, cracked, a fragile glow.
It guards me from the jagged truths,
too sharp to hold, too raw to know,
but locks me in a silent room
where doors forget which way to go.
Inside, the echo keeps me close,
my voice returns not quite my own.
I trust the shadows more than light,
and waltz with lies Iāve alway...
I never did anything to deserve this
You said we should be friends instead
You said our relationship was getting dull
You said it was nothing against me
You said that you couldnāt lean on me
I bet thereās another girl involved in this
You promised to not let anyone come over our relationship
And you did
My heart was half healed from a ex until you broke my heart again
Leaving a deep gash
Y...
You tread so carelessly and selfish through life
Wreaking havoc, destroying hearts and causing strife
For you, it was but a moment, a normal thing that you do
For me, it is a lifetime of reliving what you put me through
I close my eyes and picture myself at the sea
as you toss, throw, and rip like waves through me
Like the rogue waves, you strain and hold me down
Sinking into darkness,...
