Are You Ashamed of the Light

Hate saturates the darkness,
Deeper into its intensity,
But this allows for those bright points--
Hope--that is like
pinpoints of light in the velvet sky,
Showing that all is not lost,
The world's path has bends and roadblocks,
But you will not lose your footing,
Should you hold on to your hope,
Grasp it as if it is your only hand,
That one choice you get
for redemption.

Ode To The Twilight Series

I'll meet you at Twilight,
When the day blends to night,
The stars come out and
the sun slowly fades into the horizon.
We can watch the New Moon,
Absent in its unearthly beauty,
Let us lay in the grass and breathe deep
as the dew soaks through our clothes.
I'll run through the days and
sleeping unpleasantly in the night,
Longing for you and your sunny warmth,
Blocking out my Eclipse.
Forever is not such a long time,
That is all I am asking for,
And through the Breaking Dawn you become,
My Edward.

Will You Remember Me--Because I Won't Forget You

You're the one that I need,
I'm the one that you loathe,
Because I'm not blinded by your artifice,
Your lives are corrupt and wrong,
I have no need to be an insider.
It's your outside I need,
You are so clear as glass,
I know all of your lies,
Let me be blunt--
If you continue in this way,
You will be undone.
That is the truth,
You say I am full of libel and slander,
I say your ways are corrupt,
I know the truth.
I tell no lies to you,
The only falsehoods to pass my lips,
Are the ones I feed to myself.
What I profess I do not hide
behind an anonymous mask.
My name is Mandy,
I am eighteen,
You are liars and
I have no shame to tell you so.

Wear Me Like a Locket Around Your Throat

Let me breathe in that heady scent,
of disaster and destruction,
of liars and lovers,
of nightmares and dreams.
Oh did you know that you are mine?
My dream that is--
But also my nightmare-
You provide the ink I need,
To make a sword of my pen.
Let me brush past your words,
And get straight to your heart,
Because all your words are lies-
Didn't you know actions speak louder than words?
It pains me to say,
But I rely on you
for all of my creativity-
Because where would I be without you?
It gets old to tell the collapse of myself,
Especially since I have not been built back up,
My acceptance is unnecessary,
All I need to steady myself are your lies.

I'll Be Fine-Even Though I'm Not Always Right

I will run out the door,
Let me jump out the window,
The gas pedal I will floor,
Anything to get me out of this town.
I am sick of everyone knowing all-
Gossip over fences and
who made out with who in the school hall.
Searching for that anonymity,
Big cities and bright lights
don't stifle that sunrise in my veins,
Rushing my soul into its full height,
In my loneliness I have found my home.
You want me to stop being cryptic?
Let me tell you the truth-
I loathe that face in the mirror
and I am seeking a place that does not know me,
In that maybe I can be free.

Oh This is What I Call Sinful Oblivion

Humans are marred by sin,
Scarred by it.
But we can't help but wish for it,
Although we loathe its wit.
It confused us,
Took advantage,
Played on our hurts,
Broke our emotional gage.
But again and again,
We seek it out,
Ask for forgiveness, and
turn around and look for the next hit.
I am a sinner-
About this I make no qualms...
I am prideful and I hate,
I gossip and I judge,
I am rude and I do not care-
I am everything wrong in this world.
But who better
to tell the awful truth of this hateful sin,
Then someone who deals with it always,
And still understands that God loves her-
As crazy as He may be for doing so.

This Is For You Sweetheart

My heart beats rapidly at your touch,
My eyes show what I cannot express.
Sometimes oh it's just too much,
But I have fallen so hard for you.
I miss you so bad when you are away,
But I love having you to miss,
Without you my heart sorely frays,
I long to be with you again.
Let's take a deep breath and make this leap,
Heart first and sanity later,
I hope my feet never touch the ground,
My love for you is obvious.
I close my eyes and see our memories,
I can see where we began,
Trust me, I have never told you lies,
You mean the very world to me.

I Got Your Picture

I have got this sunrise in my veins,
Burning through me with its creativity,
With which I could gain
Aspirations to give life electricity.
