Make You/Break You


Make You,
Break You.
Two words that
Mean
So
Much.
Make You:
            Happiness,
That amazing feeling of accomplishment
You know you’ve made it
You know you’ve won,
Your battle is over,
You have support like
Iron beams to hold you up.
Break You:
Your life is
Over
Your chance is gone
You regret everything
The smallest thing brings on waves of grief
Like a beggar in the street,
You’re worth nothing.
Others took you and
Threw you away
But you should have
Hope.
Look forward, ask for help
You’re not even
Close
To alone.

Pretty Monsters


Pretty Monsters,
Gorgeous Beasts:
Wild, unknown, foreign creatures
Taking up the world,
An unknown force, an invading army
Aliens taking over the planet.
They pull you from your bed in the dark of the night
And steal away your dreams, Eat your terror
They hide in the light, make you feel safe,
Cut you down
Eat your insides
Then
                You’re
                                Nothing.

Me and You, Against the World


Me and You, Against the World
Everyone’s a stranger
A pretty monster
Everyone’s out to kill you
Take your hope, Beat you down
Fighting off ghosts all day,
Nowhere to turn, no one to trust
Lost in deathly stillness without you
Me and you, baby, against the world
