This time is different
We feel more than dislike
We are more than disappointed
We are utterly devastated
This time
The glass ceiling was cracking
Right in front of our eyes
We were going to see it shatter
This time
We had a chance to further change
To be recognized as more than a rating
We were going to be equal
This time
Young girls were watching history in the making
They believe they can be anything
We were going to prove it to them
This time
We weren’t going to need to worry about
Our rights to our own bodies
We were going to have a choice
This time
Everyone who has ever been disregarded
Could see a future of acceptance
We
I’m here, again, today
And I think back to the times
We spent here together
My first roller coaster ride,
I was terrified, but you hugged me
And told me that I’d be fine
Our tradition on the Ferris wheel
We’d always go on the final ride
And for a second, everything was alright
Then the divorce happened
And, for a while, we’d still go
But it didn’t last long, and you forgot
You forgot, and you apologized
And I hugged you, and said
It will all be okay
But, then, you left me here all alone
Our spot on the Ferris wheel left empty
And never did you apologize
It was then that I realized
Our traditions and fun we
He really was just lonely
All he wanted was a friend
He just didn’t know how
So, he huffed and he puffed
He just didn’t know
That the house would fall down
He tried again and again
But the houses still fell
And he still had no friends
They built a new house
One that won’t ever fall
Yet, they won’t come out
They don’t want to be friends
And, the Big Bad Wolf?
He huffs and he puffs
And he cries
I wish everyone would stop
If only for a single second
And think, am I happy?
Because, if that happened
I think we’d all be better off
Maybe someone would realize,
That they hate their job, or
They’d realize that this relationship,
It’s just not working out.
Sure, what you find,
It might not be happy, but
They most likely would be.
Maybe it wouldn’t be bad
They just might realize
That they’re completely in love
Or maybe that it feels really good,
The difference they are making.
If everyone would stop,
The world would be better
We’d be a happier people
Who live more interesting lives
We could all be happier
Everyone saw me as “the boy who lived”
I was their salvation, their only hope
But I didn’t ask for this, any of this
This cost my parents’ lives,
And mine was no longer my own
I didn’t define me, my scar did
Everyone believed I’d keep them safe
The pressure became too much
I no longer wanted to be some idol
The pain of this scar became too much
So, I figured, if you can’t beat them
You might as well join them
Everyone wonders where I’ve gone
As if they weren’t part of the reason why
They are scared beyond belief
They need their savior to make it all okay
Too bad I’m not there to sa

Wishes are for Children
I wish my luck would take a turn
It seems unfair, what I’ve been served
Try as I might, nothing has changed
“Star light, star bright”
As I sit here, alone, again tonight
I look at the stars and wish to know,
What have I done, that my life is this way?
“First star I see tonight”
I didn’t ask for my life to be like this
I’ve tried so hard but nothing’s worked
If only wishes truly worked
“I wish I may, I wish I might”
If wishes came true, life would be easier
I would not be here right now
Bogged down by worry
“Have the wish I wish tonight”
But wishes are for children,
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall”
When you are born,
You are all put upon a wall
And the one who put you there,
Waits to see
How long you stay
“Humpty Dumpty had a great fall”
Sometimes, though, you’ll fall
You get cracked, just like an egg
But you’re not broken, not yet
You get back up
Until you fall again
“All the king's horses and all the king's men”
The more you fall
The harder it is to get up
Loved ones are there to help
And, soon enough,
You’ll allow yourself to stand
“Couldn’t put Humpty together again”
Eventually, it’s just too much
You have fallen far to

The dust crawls across our streets, muddying the ragged hems of our skirts and pant-legs. Everyday the dust advances, and we beat it down with splintered brooms. But it returns each night, slipping in from vast and distant deserts. We've learned to hate the dust, the same way I learned to love the woods when I was younger.
I still love the woods. The warm green glow that shines down from it's leafy canopy. The birds and squirrels that I can't ever bring myself to kill, no matter my clawing hunger. The reedy willow by the bend in the stream. Even the silvery webs that criss-cross the darker depths of the woods, obscuring the shadowy
