Masquerade by Falyra, literature

Literature

Masquerade

Looking back, I see a masquerade of faces Some strangely familiar, others foreign strangers Others have said that they are one and the same But I know them as unique individuals A happy young girl, innocent and pure Wanting to see, wanting to hear Wanting to smell, taste, touch Wanting to know the world Falling from the crib, into the pit Hiding from others, hiding from betrayal Hiding from hurt, pain, risk Hiding from loss of innocence Crawling to a haven, bruised and shattered Hating the earth, hating the people Hating the lies, deception, cruelty Hating the weakness of that hid Curling into a ball to escape reality Fearing

The American Dream by Falyra, literature

Literature

The American Dream

A two story house with an emerald lawn, Six bedrooms, three baths, and the color fawn. The table is set, the dishes are out- The children eat anything; they never pout. A mother, a father, and 2.5 kids, Who get good grades and replace all the lids. But wait- our family is not yet complete- There is still one requirement that they must meet. A household pet, a cat or a dog, Or maybe these kids will bring home a frog. A giant backyard with a white picket fence- A tree house and swing set would also make sense. Parents off to work, and kids off to school- And in the summer, a family trip to the pool. This is the life these people w

Lost by Falyra, literature

Literature

Lost

I see the world as an adult Through the filtered lens of child Fulfilling all life's mundane chores Yet wondering all the while Who am I? Why am I here? Who am I meant to be? What is the meaning of life? What is the point of me? To live, to laugh To see what there is to see But what does any of that do What could it mean to me? Me, me, me, selfish I know Or is that just some childhood rule? Not much of the world listens I'm the one left playing the fool Somewhere between feeling you're safe And knowing that you're not Somewhere between not really caring And knowing its all for naught I'm lost between two extremes Can you

Price to Pay by Falyra, literature

Literature

Price to Pay

All is bleak within this night Time itself has paused Surveying all the fright That the darkness has caused A single square continues to shine Soft and silent, the wind carries them Blowing them towards the bright sign So they might commit this final sin The queen of darkness has named her price An innocent heart is to bleed No longer will these lost souls suffice Tis something more she needs So now watch as the dark spirits arise Each one once a good hearted man But now as they guide though the skies Their only thought is of freedom Soft breathing from this forbidden light A young girl sleeps without fear The breath begins

Little Princess by Falyra, literature

Literature

Little Princess

Little princess, sitting there Little princess, oh so fair Little princess, lay down your head Little princess, go back to bed Little princess, close your eyes Little princess, listen not to the lies Little princess, deep in your dreams Little princess, all is not as it seems Little princess, the sun rises with the new day Little princess, what it brings no man can say Little princess, do not weep Little princess, continue to sleep

Reliving Innocence by Falyra, literature

Literature

Reliving Innocence

Childhood memories from the past When things were all so simple Black was black and white was white Never a shade of gray The more we learn, the less we know We sit in fancy suits, sipping on fine wine Laughing at the ignorance of children By now we know the world is just a lie In the real world good doesn't always win The dark side might be right Those who have always been shunned May be the ones to find the light Columbus ain't the hero we once thought America ain't really loved by all All those things that we were taught Just set us up for a bigger fall Why do we do this to our kids Lead them on with lies Make them believ

Hearing Things by Falyra, literature

Literature

Hearing Things

Ring, ring, ring, Is that a phone I hear? Or is it some random wind Whispering in my ear? Is it so different Than the knocking on the door? The knocking done by no one Yet my head pounds ever more Why do the hands Not move with the clock When I can clearly hear Tick-tock, tick-tock? Dora the Explorer Hours on end Yet still I hear a cry for more From my little friend I'm going crazy But I ain't gonna right here Not in from of this little girl Not anywhere near Save me, save her Get me far away I won't corrupt such innocence There is just no way

The Fortress Falls by Falyra, literature

Literature

The Fortress Falls

All this time, thinking it was me Never opening my eyes to see I have always been free I have roamed the whole wide world I have seen things so unheard First in line, not second or third Things are run by my word That fortress I speak of with such pain My self-imposed prison in which I have lain It doesn't hold me 'cause I'm different, It holds all you 'cause you're all the same The world is mine, while you have your walls My life moves on, while yours must stall Green grass is there to catch me when I fall Good luck getting cold stone to answer your call No, it was never ever me I never fell on bended knee My own soul is th

Criteria by Falyra, literature

Literature

Criteria

No wonder I am such a failure Look at how I was judged Look at that criteria It isn't that of love Raised to be perfect But who can say what that is? By the standards of society It's those girls like Liz But I sit in the shadows Where my face won't show I watch her every action I watch her and I know Perfect? Her? Don't make me laugh This stone cold bitch belongs in hell Society can say all it wants That product just shouldn't sell I am different, I am good I am so misunderstood The earth may think I have lost But she's the one who'll pay the cost I'm not the same as all of you Mirror images I couldn't fit into But I a

What is left? by Falyra, literature

Literature

What is left?

Who am I now? I know who I used to be First an eager toddler Ready to conquer the world Then an emotionless child Who spent six years in hell Schoolwork my escape Teachers my friends Knowing one day I would win My superior intelligence Would beat their constant happiness Those two stages All so clear Upon entering middle school Things begin to haze An angry child Cut off from the world Tagging along with any Who showed her kindness Friends I now know Did not enjoy, though now they do And my work dropped From excellent to good As I was challenged As I was happy After this I can only guess Only 2 years of high school

Dream by Falyra, literature

Literature

Dream

Over the hills and to the stars No one will know where you are You shall be free of earthly binds Free to find your own piece of mind See the beauties of earth under your feet Turn around and see what you meet Whether it be friend or foe Whether you see it or no Feel its presence around you Feel how it surrounds you Falling, falling back to earth See the oceans, hear the surf Float into your bedroom window Land softly in your bed, just so Feel your eyelids flutter open quite fast Out of the land of dreams, and into the real world at last

Death by Falyra, literature

Literature

Death

Death is knocking at my door I send it away evermore Its persistence fears me so Its presence chills me to the bone I wish that it would come no more For it to cease its knocking at my door If I hear it one more time I swear by my soul I'll lose my mind "Please," I beg it, "one more day" "To see my loved ones before I go away" But it just stares at me with its dark eyes Beckons for me, though I struggle to try To stay with the living for just a while While looking at death I hold back bile I wish not to leave the living's warm touch To go somewhere so cold would be too much But I am slowly pulled away As I look at my loved on

Left by Falyra, literature

Literature

Left

A friend has left My comfort gone And it's so hard to carry on I try so hard each and every day To find what made them run away Trying to get myself back on track But all these memories keep coming back All the times we laughed together Sunny, cloudy, and rainy weather Telling each other everything If nothing else we would just sing And let our souls soar up high Higher than the deep blue sky Then fall back down to earthly binds Our friendship always in our minds Yet now you push me far away What was it that I did say To make your smile into a frown Flipping my world upside-down I pray someday I will see Why a friend would

My Sister Inge by Falyra, literature

Literature

My Sister Inge

I was not yet a teen When I hid under a table And watched my sister kill a king That same sister that had cared for me My wonderful sister called Inge She was a sorceress, a powerful one That had saved me from death as a child That's why I couldn't turn her in For I loved her all the while She arranged for me to go with the Maid Scotland's future Queen She gave me a potion to help the Maid It was poison all the same To clear the way for her mistresses' son So that he could become king For her she would poison the Maid And for her she would also kill me When the Maid did not become sick Of the potion I gave her none When Ing

Death of Pendragon and Son by Falyra, literature

Literature

Death of Pendragon and Son

Oh great king one held high Who once rested in the sky Is now brought down so low By a blow from his most deadly foe Never a more loving son shall you see Yet if so loving how could he Kill his father with a single stroke Without even ruffling the coat As the blade in his hand slid through the heart Of the man with whom he wished not part And yet he doesn't have to you see For here there lies the simple key The foolish vow he made as a child A young child sprinting around so wild That he would not outlive his powerful father So just as his hand slid in a little further The father who loved but could not acknowledge His illegi

Relationship Beads by Falyra, literature

Literature

Relationship Beads

Relationships are like a strand of beads You see the beads But ignore the string While the hate makes itself unignorable The love is hidden Like the string inside the beads Without the string The beads would fall And scatter everywhere The string holds it together Though the beads are what you see Without the love the hate would scatter It would exist but not all together The love is what makes the hate so strong But while the beads may scatter and break The string is together in one piece Now it stands alone in all its glory But no one even bothers to realize, to see They gather up all the fallen beads And put them back

Romeo and Juliet by Falyra, literature

Joining the Pack by Falyra, literature

Literature

Joining the Pack

I am the lone wolf Separated from the pack I fend for myself For me there is no comfort When something goes awry All I can do is sit and try To hold back the tears inside damp eyes That threaten to break out and cause me to cry When I hear the togetherness of the pack When they salute the moon With their voices in perfect harmony I imagine how it would feel To raise my voice and join their song Softly I begin, then louder I become My voice, though entirely off key Creates the perfect harmony Suddenly I am surrounded by the pack Their noises identifying me Though different, I seem to pass I join the pack And am no longer a

Lone Wolf by Falyra, literature

Literature

Lone Wolf

I am the lone wolf Banished from the pack I provide for myself Not for me the warmth of closeness No, I thrive on the coldness of loneliness Every night I hear the pack raise their voices Saluting the moon as one I am one and yet I am Less than their combined sound Let the moon be content with them My voice would be off key After all, they are all together I am just me The undesirable The unwanted I am the lone wolf I am weak While they are strong I am pulled towards them While they run from me They are all I ever wanted I am what they all fear This longing disgusts me Why would the ever accept one such as I They woul

Race Against the Dark by Falyra, literature

Literature

Race Against the Dark

A kind of stillness hangs in the air A blade of pain stabs at my chest Damp locks of brown hair obscure my vision But I do not stop My feet are as swift as Apollo's There is no cool breeze to rustle the leaves Not a creature is in sight They've all gone to bed for the night As I race against all hope Falling to my knees a sob escapes me And I cradle the limp form in my arms Rough tree bark cuts into my back As I survey the nothingness of the dark

Observations by nokros, literature

Literature

Observations

Physical: Tall, skinny, brown hair, what people may call "attractive". Totters a few inches above the fellow test subjects, and exhibits behavior almost like a light teasing of the others at that advantage. Eats well, but doesn't gain weight. Hair is light, wispy, chocolate, unlike the thick mud and silky wheat of the others. Eyes: a dark pea green. Overall frame: small build with the exception of height. The subject has taken some time to warm up to the other two. She has waited to be approached, and is slowly starting to interact with them more. With very little stimulation, the three of them get very excited, which usually leads to

Time to Listen by Infamouskitkit, literature

Literature

Time to Listen

I used to dream of nights like these when I couldn't sleep because my pen demanded attention when it felt like my soul was leaking out through my fingertips when I couldn't stop writing for fear of the emotions consuming me completely I used to dream of nights when the writing would stop but in my dreams it was voluntary I never dreamt that the words would beat themselves against the side of my chest while I sat, pen in hand, unable to let them out I never dreamt of repeating the hours of unbearable consciousness without putting one word to paper I never dreamt the writing would stop altogether but it did and now all I have are frag

Toll-Free Numbers by skuzzie, literature

Literature

Toll-Free Numbers

Have you noticed the fact that toll free numbers are found on EVERYTHING. I am currently eating some Cheez-It party mix. It has a toll-free number right on the box. I can think of absolutely NO people who do not know how to work Cheez-It party mix. How many first time eaters are reading this? Anyone who can read this has at some point eaten. Have you ever called a toll free number? You are always put on hold because "all operators are currently busy." Apparently there are many first time eaters in this world. So you wait a few minutes and then...the friendly voiced lady lies to you. "Your call is important to us," she says, "Please

progression.

She came into my life like any fairy tale with her rose petal wings and her little crown of forget-me-nots and perfection and her laugh that could make the bluebells ring and I asked her: what is fairy dust made of? and how do you dance on the rain drops? but she just smiled (with strawberry lips) and twirled around the constellations as I stared at her from my patch of dirt until she saw me and giggled. She became my life like the sea in her eyes, the waves would crash and roar or just stand still, unbroken and at peace or sometimes they

Life Lived Alone by Sykoticstalker27, literature

Literature

Life Lived Alone

Damned to wallow in eternal darkness Abandoned and forgotten by a mother so heartless I hid myself away to escape a world so cruel and shallow My face hidden from even a candle's soft glow And then, I met an angel, for what else could she be? An angel with bright eyes and a heart full of purity Her voice awoke the light inside Brought to life a part of me that I thought had died In the shadows I watched her every move I taught her to sing and watched her improve The fools of my opera could only watch in awe Her voice even more beautiful than that of our famous Carlotta She sang beautifully to a full house that night On stage she

Update

Wow, I haven't really done anything on here since November...  Internet troubles mixed with school mixed with a thousand little jobs have kept me pretty busy.  I'm so incredibly sorry to everyone for the sudden disappearance.  I'll try to go through all my messages, but as I'm sure you can imagine, after seven months they're a bit daunting.  If there's anything anyone really wanted me to respond to or comment on then just leave a comment here and I'll be sure to get to it. I hate to say it, but I'm not so sure I'll be able to be too active this summer either.  I'm starting up a calculus course in a week or so that needs to be finished before

TSO

0 min read

Just got back from seeing TSO (Trans-Siberian Orchestra) with nokros and stuffedwithfluff and....  I can't get words to describe it, it was just so incredibly amazing and wonderful and all and I just felt so amazing and wonderful.  Normally I would go into detail about everything with some better vocabulary, but its 1 am and I didn't get practically any sleep the past few nights so I'm about ready to crash.  So sometime tomorrow/today or over the next few days I'll edit this journal with all the great spectacularness that was tonight!

USACO

0 min read

So I stayed after school today to do this USACO contest (computer programming) where you're given a problem and have to submit an answer within 2 hours of receving it.  So I get my two problems, I know I can't complete two, no big deal, so I don't worry about it and just focus on the first.  So it drives me freaking insane and I have to look up how to spell wednesday but eventually I finish this freaking amazing program with a minute left.  So I go to submit it.  Its not accepted because instead of writing the output to a file I just displayed it.  No big deal right, I copy the code provided on the site to write it to a file and submit it aga
