"Iron Angels"

The Beast's empowering metal beckoned to me; Screaming.

My loving escape, just inches away.
Much like the mighty lion, The Beast lives in fear; Misunderstood.
As children, we are taught to fear The Beast, not appreciate the raw beauty and grace.
Carry The Beast,
Rely on The Beast,
Treasure The Beast,
Respect The Beast.
Much like the mighty Nile, The Beast is taken advantage of; Abused.
As adults, we learned to civilize The Beast, forgetting the pure unimaginable power.
Carry The Beast,
Tether The Beast,
Fight The Beast,
Waste The Beast.
A choice was made, a choice The Beast could not control; Misunderstood.
The Beast wept as it fell to Earth; Mortified.
An Iron Angel was born once again.

"I Am 15"
I am 15 years old
And I am being transported.
Up, up, up.
Knives of ice attack
My face.
White carpet riders,
Who seem to soar,
Criss-cross below me.
A single blade rider,
Makes his descent.
I almost dismiss,
The hanging pant leg.
This addict didnt lose his stash.
Not yet.

"Those That Are Negative"

They are hurt
And usually broken.
Just like love,
There is no age restriction.
Perhaps you met their other half;
Depression.
When they see a blue sky,
They search for a cloud.
They use this skill as a weapon of choice.
They are blameful
And YOU will be the victim,
Of their sarcastic remarks.
For those who long to be happy,
They are only an obstacle.
Their spirits are alone,

Hoping to be saved;
From themselves.
Some believe it is a choice,
This is a lie.
Negativity is an abyss
And love is the beautiful endless ladder.
Sometimes all they need is a simple reminder.

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of

times, if one only remembers, to turn on the light."
"F.E.A.R"
Your mind jumps,
Your heart pounds,
Your palms clammy.

Miedo.

Paura.
Your biggest failure,
Your greatest lost,
Your darkest hour.

Noli timere.
Peur.
All it takes is a phrase.
Spiders, or snakes.
Heights, or change.

Angst.
Hofu

We are so fearful,
We often forget,
We are stronger than any fear will ever be.

Alegria.
Gioia.
Your biggest accomplishment,
Your greatest love,
Your favorite song.

Guadium.
Joie.
All it takes is a phrase.
Love, or happiness.
Smiling, or laughter.

Freude.
Furaha.

We so often forget that:

The Fear of Joy is the darkest of captivities.
