I dreamt of you last night,
I didn't want the dream to end.
You stood right in front of me
With beautiful dark hair
And dark blue eyes.
Your face was lit with beauty
And your body was in the embrace
Of a long black trenchcoat.
Your hair was in perfect length
Perfectly styled.
And then I woke up
And realised that you weren't there.
You did not exist.
Or maybe you do,
But we haven't met.
Though I've never seen you
Face to face
My heart longs for you.
I fell in love with a dream...
Could you be real?

I Fell In Love With A Dream

After the War
Rubble everywhere.
The brutal past cannot compare.
Our new beginning arrived
I cant believe that I survived.
We all made it alive
Will our newest hope thrive?
The war is over
It's time to start all over again.
Tonight I will rebuild my home
At least I know I'm still not alone
We all woke up from this nightmare
And now we ask ourselves if life will be fair?
We all made it alive
Will our newest hope thrive?
The war is over
It's time to start all over again.
The brutal past cannot compare.
Our new beginning arrived
I cant believe that I survived.
We all made it alive

The war is over
It's time to start all over again.

At least I know I'm still not alone
We all woke up from this nightmare
And now we ask ourselves if life will be fair?
We all made it alive
Will our newest hope thrive?
The war is over
It's time to start all over again.
During The War
The day we've been waiting for has finally come!
Our work against oppression will now be done!
We've been preparing for months, the stage has been set.
Now it's time to act on our freedom we will get.
Our many years of pain are now over (many years of pain)
The world will soon wake up and be sober
We no longer stand alone,
We can now take care of our own
and eachother one step at a time
We'll sing our songs in perfect rhyme
Our many years of pain are now over (many years of pain)
The world will soon wake up and be sober
Our work against oppression will now be done!

Before The War
I stood still taking beatings from my past
With my mouth shut.
These nightmares amassed
mark my soul right before it's cut.
I cant take it anymore!
What is this oppression for?
And if I stay
I cant run away.
I hid my feelings for many years
I wont let our woes fall on deaf ears.
A war is coming...
The blood of innocents stains your hands.
Many obeyed your insensitive commands,
everyone paid the price
of what your actions did entice.
I cant take it anymore!

Daughter of Disgrace (Birthday Poem)
Unwanted
She was brought into this world.
On this very day,
the day her procreators never wanted to come.
The day their terrible secret would be out.
The day that would bring shame to their name.
And the shame lives on 23 years later.
The shame and disgrace that tarnished their names.
And not only their names...
Their families' names too.
If they would've had a boy,
maybe the problem would've been overlooked.
But no,
they had a premature,
weak,
frail,
unfit and undesirable
daughter.
A daughter whose life would bring
a never ending stream of shame.
Shame, embarrasment, woes and disgrace.
She was never pretty,
never popular,
never dressed "right"
never followed the beliefs her parents
tried to drill into her head,
loves men and women,
and the poor soul never wanted to change!
She was never what her family wanted her
to be.
Not even close.
The story repeated itself many years later.
But the disgraced daughter
saw things differently.
With an open heart,
and a smile on her face,
She welcomed her daughter into the world,
and she was not disgraced.
I am the disgraced daughter.
Though my family is ashamed of me,
I'm proud of the woman
that I have become.
She was brought into this world.
On this very day,
the day her procreators never wanted to come.
The day their terrible secret would be out.
The day that would bring shame to their name.
And the shame lives on 23 years later.

Untitled 2
Im a nerd
and a goth.
I'm the girl
the world ignores.
Nobody knows my name
but I don't play that game.
I sit in the back of the class.
It's popularity I lack,
but I dont care.
And there you are...
Constantly surrounded by girls
with pretty eyes
and pretty hair.
You're very popular.
Everyone knows you...
So do I
Of course, it seems that
Im invisible to you,
but that is not always the case.
Unlike all the popular guys,
You're kind.
You're not a jerk,
You smile at everyone.
You want to be everyone's friend,
even mine.
But I also want to be more than your friend...
Im in love with you.
But, because you're constantly surrounded by pretty girls,
I dont have a chance.
I wish I could tell you,
but I'm afraid.
Im afraid of scaring you away
and losing your friendship.
Besides,
It would suck to be picked on for being with me, right?
Imagine...
A handsome popular guy
with a nerdy goth?
I wish for a chance to be with you
but it seems rather impossible.
We don't have much in common.
You go out and I stay in.
You play sports and I write poems.
You seem confident and Im too shy.
Everyone knows you and I'm invisible.
Girls chase you and guys don't remember that I exist.
Sometimes you forget it too,
but I dont blame you.
I dont exist. Period.
I dont care if I exist to anyone else,
As long as I exist to you,
That's all that matters.
