Beauty is to me,
Not just skin deep
Perfection isn't measured,
By a flirting wink
Beauty should be measured,
By the whole
Perfection is the one thing,
That we will never know

Beauty and perfection,
They should be despised
Because their definitions,
Inspire nothing but lies
Beauty opens doors,
That we don't need
The pursuit of perfection,
Only makes us bleed

Real beauty,
Only comes from within
And wanting to be perfect,
Only makes your life grim
Beauty is passion,
Perfection is pain
If you strip away them both,
Only who you are remains

Didn't you know that inside,
You were always perfectly beautiful?

Still Breathing

When I am lost, Can't find myself, So alone, And need some help I stand up, And lift my head, I'm still here, So not dead (I'm still breathing...!) If I believed in angels, I'd call I'm satisfied if I don't fall I just want to prove to you, to me, That I'm being the best man I can be As I breathe... I feel the innocence tonight, I feel the whole world, as it takes flight I feel tomorrow and today, I feel us all, as we change I feel the fire and the pain, Through it all, here, I remain It can be so much to take, As long as I breathe, I won't break I still breathe... When I am hurt, With so much strain, And it's so hard, To breathe again I shout out, Bare my soul Holding on, Not letting go (I'm still breathing...!) If I believed in angels, I'd scream That I really need to hear them sing I just want to prove to you, to me, That I'm being the best man I can be I still breathe...! I feel the innocence tonight, I feel the whole world, as it takes flight I feel tomorrow and today, I

Beauty

What do I care about beauty? It is not beauty that comforts me in the middle of the night. It is not beauty that looks back at me from the mirror every morning. I do not glimpse anything of aesthetic value in that pale reflection. I see: lines ready to form, hair waiting to fall, nose proudly proclaiming heritage. There is: no beautiful mess, no meaningful mistake. There is: only this jumble, this tired truth. Beauty lurks around every corner. It taunts me from magazines and prints itself on the inside of my eyelids. It frames itself on walls and contains itself on computer screens. Beauty: this charming snake that wh

Truth, Beauty

I died for Beauty—but was scarce Adjusted in the Tomb When One who died for Truth, was lain In an adjoining room— He questioned softly “Why I failed”? “For Beauty”, I replied— “And I—for Truth—Themself are One— We Brethren, are”, He said— And so, as Kinsmen, met a Night— We talked between the Rooms— Until the Moss had reached our lips— And covered up—our names— Emily Dickinson First of all, I can’t stress enough that I’m not in any way uncomfortable. I’m at peace with my life, the way I lived it; I’m not at all bothered b

how to wish beautifully

relax. remember that all wishes go unheard except by the heart. remember that it doesn't matter if you feel foolish because you're talking to yourself. your veins have put up with worse than beating his name millions of times and anyway, you blame your heart for falling in the first place. take a breath. clear your head of babbling nonsense and everything that isn't wishing-material. clear your thoughts of those pesky whispers trailing along the i'm doubting myself aisle because you have to have working lungs to make a wish on candles and you figure wishing on stars works just the same. who's to

Despoema de amor

Deveria lhe compor versos perfeitos Que homenageariam todo seu ser Te diria que o meu sonho é te ter Mas fico com preguiça e não faço tais feitos Diria que desbravaria todo o mundo Somente pra defender seu nome Só que eu esqueci dele, to usando um pronome, Então é melhor guardar isso num buraco fundo Doaria pra te uma parte de mim Se necessário até meu coração Mas na hora do transplante eu daria uma de fujão É melhor a essa estrofe eu dar um fim Falarei então que até Lua eu te daria Mas agora de me lembro de um problema: Não consigo nem sequer puxar

Desire

Your smooth skin, It drives me crazy I want to touch you, And just maybe, You...will let me... The look in your eyes, It really drives me wild I shouldn't be surprised, That you're so tempting... You are all I can see... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Controlling me I can see... The light in your eyes, Every time you see me... The beads of perspiration, Are rolling down your face As you look away, I lean in for a little taste, Because you let me... I can see your curves, Move underneath your shirt And I can't place a price, On what this moment's worth... So revealing... Desire... Taking over me Desire... Always controlling me I can s

Our Last Kiss

If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have inhaled you deeper within me. If I had known that it was our last kiss, I would have seared your taste onto my tongue. If I had known it was our last kiss, I would have scorched your scent into my skin. ... If I had known, I would have frozen time ...

Odd times

Things aren't always what they seem Take the dice and shake it twice Come on come on Let life roll to pieces It may seem odd But you are strange Time ticks to the sound of my heart As you wave your goodbyes Forever the sun was in your eyes It may seem odd But you are strange Please take my heart as you take my hand Don't pick the dice up Cause this ain't a gamble Just one blow and we're gone It may seem odd But you are strange Take a wink and a kiss I guess this is goodbye

She Talks With Monsters

This girl never had a fear of monsters. She allowed them to rest on the insides of her eyelids, the crook of her neck, the empty spaces of her chest cavity. She had no fear, there were much scarier things in this world than darkness, clawing at her back. Living for the night she etched her dreams upon the bars of her cage whispering of centuries past because she truly missed the sun, grass on her back. Frosty Decembers have her forgetting what it feels like to love, but she knows who she is— she doesn't need the taste of cigarette ash suffocating her inside her own flesh. November skies tore open this night, ripping a hole i

Raoul's Death

All Christine could do was stand there, watching in horror as her beloved fiancé and demented tutour locked blades. She couldn't live with another grave before her. She just couldn't. In no time, Raoul was at the Phantom's mercy. He pleaded, oh how he pleaded, but to no effect. The Phantom plunged his blade through him, and kept doing it over and over again. Christine could glimpse a river of scarlett spraying on Erik's face. Now it truly was distorted. Every emotion she had felt before left her. She was left limp, pale, dead. Tears, very warm tears, trickled down her cheeks, but she couldn't feel them. She had nothing left to
