This is MY justice. Where's yours?
Justice varies from person to person
A blessing from one easily turns to cursing
A twitch of the lips seems quite fair to one
But can cause rage in another, and it can't be undone
The cold tears of a vampire, whose body is without warmth
Fall onto the ground, spread and go forth
To dazzle one human and frighten another
For one person to dry and to be drunk by the other
I've been dead for a long time, and I will die again
The worst part about this is neither side wins
I just want it to stop, and though it might seem cold
Killing others is never just, no matter what kind of noble cause one upholds!
No life is so little to give up, to think: "I don't care when I die."
Machine
Confused agony
Is better than being me
Scrawny arms getting thinner
Feels nicer than your ghost's whisper
If I feel so lonely
Why am I not empty?
Why am I full of bad thoughts?
How am I an emotional robot?
The worst thing about desert sand
It gets everywhere but your hands
No one knows what you've done
'Course no one's there except the sun
I'm so cold but I'm burned out on the inside
The sun keeps glaring, don't think I'll make it to the other side
In the desert there's no rainbows
But in a dystopia, there's nowhere else to go..
Can a machine miss rainbows?.
Dragon's Fancy
Once upon a time there lived a dragon
It had sharp white teeth and sea-blue eyes
Shifting black scales and starry wings
It was a master of disguise
In summer it fancied itself a boy
With night-black hair and strong tan arms
It walked among even humans
It believed it wouldn't come to harm
For who would hurt such a gentle thing?
It met a girl with long blonde hair
They spoke a lot, they couldn't stop
So while she was asleep it took her back to its lair
She woke up fast, her smile dropped
She looked up and saw only a monster
No soft blue eyes, just pointy teeth
She screamed and ran, the dragon had lost her
The dragon cried for a long time
It went to sleep for years and years
When it woke up, it still missed her
But it made itself breathe and dry its tears
In winter it fancied itself a girl
With soft brown hair and fair white skin
It roamed the country and talked to birds
It tried to love the world again
It found a boy with smiling lips
And wavy hair and teasing words
They danced and laughed and kissed each other
So while he was asleep, it took him back to its world
He opened his eyes and saw a beast
He howled and ran, the dragon reached out for him
He froze in fear, the dragon's claws pierced
His smiling lips parted, his eyes went dim
The dragon's heart broke as it dug two holes
It buried the boy quietly and held up a sword
It had no answer as the sun set
It looked at the graves and spoke its last words
"I thought you both loved me
I didn't know humans would lie
I didn't know you would fear me so terribly
So I . . . guess I should die."
