So I just realized its NaPoWriMo so I'm going to try and catch up!
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
Neon lights upon the strip giving sight for midnight sins. Tall red heels and blonde dyed tresses dollar bills tucked in lacy dresses. Business men in coat and tie spouting out their well thought lies. Naive girls with big dreams dance across a different screen. Old men in dingy clothes bet it all to see it go. Neon lights upon the strip giving sight to midnight sin.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
Dancing across a crowded room strangers faces blurred by you kissing away the faded pain forgetting the horror of yesterdays. You and me loving silently the others around us are just part of the game. Grabbing your hand we fly away on the wind of the rumors, we disappear into infinity. They ask about us now, speculate on where we went the couple of kids with unlimited bank accounts and broken smiles.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
The queen of hearts with her crooked smile laughs at you all the while. The king of diamonds winks at you with dollar signs flashing in his eyes. The Ace of spades with no expression has nothing to say of her yesterdays. The joker of clubs with his goofy smile cracks a joke and you laugh all the while. This twisted family of accursed royals charades as cards, when actually they're souls.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
She walks alone through broken dreams thinking of the girl she'll never be.
She remembers the happy days full of laughing and smiles, then her world goes black like night all over again.
Mistakes pull her down like the drugs that fill her mind, she slowly begins to die.
Money blurs with the heat dirty acts mixed with filthy deeds she pulls away from herself just to find a brief relief.
Her sin gives her the gift of a baby boy who's already hurting within.
The haze returns with tiny screams she ignores her inner mother giving her little boy away for a fix she just can't help taking.
The boy is rocked by loving arms given all he will ever need, happy content and finally free.
His mother is gone like dust in the wind, with a needle in her arm she said goodbye to this world.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
Close your eyes, fall back in time to yesterdays now broken. Remember the early days when he was your mind, before he blew destroyed your love with dynamite. You were young and in love with the idea of love. He played the game so perfectly and you gave him everything. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG. The world was your domain to roam and to destroy. You had it all in the palm of your tiny pale hand. That boy took it all away. Now you walk and hope, pray to be whole again some far away day. You wish to go back, to WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
Write me a melody, teach me how to sing. Tell me of the past together we will discover the future. Love me with fervor and I'll never give up. Hold me with kind hands and I'll tell you all my dirty little secrets. Be yourself I'll be me together we will travel eternity.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
They are looking with prying eyes waiting for the mess up. All they want is for you too fall, so keep running. Everyone wants something from you, they will do anything to take your spirit.
Keep your head up don't let them see you cry, keep breathing. When it gets heavy, and tomorow seems far away, keep smiling. Someday you'll be watching them.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
Shadows dance across your eyes silently searching for evidence of lies. Men become monsters in the dead of night alcohol fueled rampages turn you into a ball of endless fright. Dawn doesn't come early enough in your quite fight of pain. Run from the demons that haunt you don't let them see your innocence. Soon enough the day will return, but only to disappear again.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
Shadows echo on damp pavement, pain imprints etched into the sidewalk. Unholy thoughts and pain torn lies discarded among the memories. Painful truths among us find, the peace and heart of moving by.
You are more than the choices that you've made, you are more than the sum of your past mistakes. You are more than the problems you create, You'v been remade.
It's crazy how your life can be twisted upside down inside out and around and you can get sushi from safeway still looking like a normal person — starchild314
