I'm not afraid to fall anymore
because i know you're there to catch me
I'm not afraid to step over the line
because i know you'll pull me back
I'm not not afraid to face myself
I know you won't let me hurt me
I'm not afraid to fight my demons
because if things get bad you'll save me
~
You have before
You'll do it again
I'm there for you
But you save me instead
~
If anything is ever wrong
call to me
not your knife
I'll do my best to save you
Do my best to save your life
~
How can I say these soft words
when inside
I am dying
~
Because not only am I dying
I'm healing too
All because of you
Once upon a time, I was normal… if there is such a thing. Like every other kid you would see on the block.
Who am I kidding? Normal is a mask. A mask that I chose to hide behind for years so that I wouldn't get hurt. As far back in school as I can think, I've been tormented and ridiculed by my peers. I would have killed to be like them. I made my attempts in every single way. They were what I thought to be perfect. Like royalty on a smaller scale. Meant to be worshipped from afar. This I did. Little did I think that my life then would effect who I was to become.
I grew up always in the shadow. Even at young grades, I was shunned. Even thoug
Am I alive?
Am I dead?
So many thoughts float through my head
How do you know my blood is red?
and in the distance I hear a beeping
~
Maybe it's black
That seems right
but not what isee afterevery slice
but you don't know that do you?
you couldn't
And still i hear a beeping
~
Maybe i will try towake
I can almost hear you crying
Was that of my make?
Whereami anyways?
Where'd i end up?
And the beeping never ceases
~
I can't remeber whathappened
I'm floaing far away
I suddenlyam seeing things
I feel teardrops on myface
it's oddly cold
and now I breathe
and, the beeping it increases
~
I feel that iam broken
into many
I'm a liar
I cannot tell you
all i hold within
Does it bore you?
to extract the truth from lies i hold within?
~
I often canconfide in you
but now i am afraid
afraid that you'd leave mealone
helplessly ashamed
~
Something now awakes inside of me
I feel so oddly brave
some inner part inside of me
takes over andapplies me
i step forward almost blindly
but not me
not really
~
You turn to me as i approach
and iamalmost there
my emotions they defy
i don't notice all the tears
streaming down my face
~
Words form silently on my lips
any attempt at smiling
that i had made now slips
and in little more than a whisper
i spea
Wake up from a bad dream
to find nobody home
stumble in the darkness
of your bedroom all alone
~
The dream it seema more real
than the life you live each day
sometimes you are praying
for the nightmares to go away
~
You wake up every morning
never feel refreshed
the horror in you growing
each day to the next
~
You scream inside
but no one hears
as your screams
fall on deaf ears
afraid that this could last for years
you're dying
~
The sleep you loved
now comes no more
you've stretched so thin
with this secret bore
you're torn
~
Your skin is now so gaunt
and there are bags beneath your eyes
you're no better than th

Virus 2.0 chapter 1
It was a fairly quiet night in the city of Frank and the city was at ease. Up in the mouth the spitcopters and saliva boats were cleaning up after a recent peanut butter and Jelly sandwich . For a few moments, no one noticed the virus that was stealthily and silently making his way over to the windpipe. Then, suddenly, one of the spitcopters lights, by some fortune or misfortune, shone upon him.

It was a fairly quiet night in the city of Frank and the city was at ease. Up in the mouth the spitcopters and saliva boats were cleaning up after a recent peanut butter and Jelly sandwich.
For a few moments, no one noticed the virus that was stealthily and silently making his way over to the windpipe. Then, suddenly, one of the spitcopters lights, by some fortune or misfortune, shone upon him.
"Virus, you have entered the city of Frank, surrender for digestion,"
The red face of the virus took a look of shock and surprise and started running though the cops were close on his tail. Eventually, he dove behind a dumpster in the lungs

Virus 2.0 chapter 2
Leah Michelle finally got to her house, but she just couldn't get that strange germ out of her mind. As she turned the key and walked in, a bright flashlight shone in her eyes.
"Leah Michelle Jones, where on earth were you?" Her mother drilled as her father shined the flashlight in her eyes. Drix stood next to her father shaking his head (okay… I don't know why but that sounds really odd).
"Around," she replied slowly and guiltily.
"Around? Don't you give me that crap, last time you said you were going to be around, Drix found you in a fight at one of those clubs" her father lectured (even though Ozzy doesn't really seem like the type to l

"Michelle, calm down… we're not going to be attacked." Matt said after Michelle locked over her shoulder for the fiftieth time.
"Something just feels wrong Matt."
"Don't worry." And he hugged her close.
"Why isn't Mellie here again?"
Rolls his eyes, " Don't worry, she bailed on us to finish her book."
Michelle smiled at that.

"Where is the other one?" Thrax furiously asked.
"I don't know, but can't we get along with just one of them." Asked a tall germ.
"Yes, I suppose so."
"Let's move in!"

a loud yelling erupted from the other side of the park.
"Matt, what was that?" Leah Michelle panicked asked.
"I don't know." He repl

Michelle woke shuddering with her friends Matt and Leila surrounding her.
"Where am I?" she asked confused.
"We don't know ourselves." Leila responded.
"Actually, I do know," Said Matt, " Leila being the control freak she is assumes that I don't,"
"There's no need for this, wherever we are we have to stick together,"
"Right," Matt and Leila said together.
"Go on Matt," Michelle said.
"They actually took me while I was still conscious and I struggled, but once they caught up with you, you passed out. And they said that if I struggled they would kill you.. We're somewhere in the liver"
Michelle gasped and was a tone of lavender (sheet

Michelle stared in horror at this mad virus also known as the red death. Thrax glared and left the room slamming the door so hard she was afraid that it would fall off its hinges, not that it would be such a bad thing for her. But instead the door just crashed shut with a loud cracking sound. She glanced around her surroundings. Plain white walls surrounded her.

Leah Jones sat at her desk typing up an important inquiry to be sent to the chief immediately.
Apparently, according to mayor Colonic, two of the guards at the stem cell weren't there this morning and nobody had seen them since the left late last night.

Mellie sat on her bed and turned the final page of her novel…With a smile she shut the book and put it on the shelf.
She stopped to look in the mirror… her brown hair was down and rested on her shoulders.
As she pulled herself out of the world of her book and back into Frank, she remembered that Matt and Michelle were meeting at the park today. Looking at her watch, she figured that she still had time to meet there.
As she left her room, she tripped over the book-bag she threw at Matt when he interrupted her earlier today. She shoved the whole mess into her room closed the door and ran out the front door.
She ran as fast as sh
