Throughout the years Cinderella watched as pedestrians passed, Blood dripping off her hands from her actions. Her victim wept, Her tears red
In the coldest Winter you were the coat that kept me warm Made from many patches all my favorite colours   I trust you like the fire treading through snow storms With your embrace comes wisdom
In the quiet hours before death. all men must come to terms with their lives. all the parts, and all the seasons. they must observe it, regret it, and be proud of it. depending on who you are,
Stuck, entangled, Entrapped in the mangled Mess of the past This hollow tomb for a doer Of evil is empty and black There is no hope for the futer Cause Only death is to come
Like blood matting fur, the hunger stems down the spine, sweetest torment. And echoes in fear, a flash, blind Contrast – the forest awash with red, swirling, the scent in the breeze, buzz
Rapunzel so beautiful, So delicate, So mystifying. Her hair so long, Long enough to create a wall- Against all- Who dare oppose. She loved to wait upon her window sill,
Not one could conceive Such incapable instant Merely just a fair boy Average as the corner store Which not a shining soul laid eyes upon
Balancing on an oakwood stepping stool,I wiped at the mirage of colors on the grease stained windows.Another one of my "chores",Placed on my ebony tresses by my stepmother.Crystallized like warm honey on the outside,
I let you inside of my brain, didn't understand why you caused me pain, I find myself waking up in the middle of the night, Trying desperately to feel alright,   There is lead in my bones,
drenched in her own sinful passionsthe moonlight caresses her silky curvesas she dances with reckless abandonher bare feet carrying ancient tattoossymbols of long forgotten midnight rituals
Once upon an Ending the Earth fell on my shoulders as if I was Atlas carrying the whole world The sky shattered like glass on to my skin making scars deeper than they have been  
A howl rings outIn the dead of the nightStraight out of nightmares It gives children a fright.  Paws pad closer Like leaves on the windQuieter than ghosts Quicker than sin.

Speak     I don't.       Fall     I did.     For him,     Wonder if     it's safe to say    
All the dark colors, Bind me to the ground, Trapped with the memories I hate and fear the most. Burn me to ashes, And when the wind blows, My death is everywhere. All the dark colors,
  Light swallowed by shadows Hearing voices nobody owns Disembodied, and paralyzed Good god, I’m PETRIFIED Falling and falling
Grim are the days when Grass does not whisper And silent run streams But no one listens To know the difference

Inconceivably generous. I am deliberate. ill-chosen, splintered, and imposed on. As a degenerate, I summon the Master's actions to justify my behavioral grit.
An inquisitive mind-- flourished from oppression into a cave as rich as Reed mine Where tourists can flood my thoughts Pick at my gold and sell it for their lives Stabilizing their own While weakening my historic rise
I wrote a poem to choke my sorrow. Like a blot of gauze to staunch the blood flow. Drops of blood drop and drip between my toes, from wound that punctured lung like jagged bone,
My head is pushed under the waterinto the sea of insecurities.I open my mouthfor a gasp of breathbut no oxygen enters--
I saw you, Once in a dream, twice with a scream. You stood there watching, Praying. Waiting. I was there playing, Singing, hoping. Like fairies on a flower, We danced on short legs,
skeleton skeleton play me a riddle,one with the broken wordsthat have nothing left to piddle. skeleton skeleton take a look in mirror,notice your bony featuresnobody body likes the way you appear.
A loved one may have passed on Never forget that she taught you how to be strong She is still there as a guide To help you carry on You were always her precious jewel She wanted you to give it your all
In an ocean of darkness, there is one light for me. And it shines brighter than even the sun above. It is so close, yet not within reach. I try to get closer, but the light fades into the distance.
In the dark I lie awake Hoping, praying for our sake I told you all that I felt And all I got was a painful welp I felt my heart leave my chest Never for me to find love's rest 
Now you're waking from the night Blinded by aetherial light All the tears have dried You've no more left to cry Wounded by the blade
I couldn’t tell you what I thought at the beginning of this year Every word people said were just words that… Bounced off my ear   I graduated high school with a 4.0 Easy for me, everyone expected me to
Darkness  
The low thumping beat in my brain, Is featured with depressing lyrics. I feel the need to cry, Yet I restrain.   That was my first song of 2016.  
Sitting in the dark Listening to them yell I watch from the stairs This is my hell Am I the reason? That they always fight What did I do? That causes this every night
I was soft, vulnerable Turned hard and worn The toughened exterior Protected me Until others peeled back the layers And saw me there Afraid to move forward Stuck in place.
It started with her. The chemotherapy was abortive and it didn’t repair the damage to her lungs. It seemed absurd to waste time analyzing, every word I came across,
Bright light, lovely pale flesh, reflecting blue as the moonlight catches movement, as fingertips dance across flesh, hot and humid breath catching at the back of your throat,
Here comes a feat of boots dressed in gold Clad in a uniform just as bold Keys wrapped in paper cloth Hands wrapped in gauze   Bloodshot eyes tinker chilled Yet he stays willed
The urge is always there, after it's done for the first time. That craving sets in, and you are utterly helpless.   You do it to keep going, to keep from falling. To relieve that pain,

They say light and darkness clash Obviously they haven’t met us before, I do stupid stunts but I’ll never crash
Men glide like ghosts, Blending into the shadows Of a darkened world.   The rain-laden air was palpable, Heavy on the tongue and  Dampening the hair and Leaving cool droplets on the skin.
At first, I thought I was a simple person that lived a simple life School hasn't been it's usual as weeks go by It's different, I was different My artistic skills have been lacking, because of fear Stress
Crisp was a winter midnight’s air. Disturb the silence, no one dared. The pain of frost taking our toes. Our names and faces no one knows. We see our gasps in the chill this night.
i. you're cold. two cats on your lap. a dog at your side. messages awaiting on your phone it's not plugged in.  you aren't plugged in. please be okay. how are things going?
There's dark and grey every night and day,  if not living here, then waiting near, to pounce, to maul slow me to a crawl.  I want to want to want to, but it's haunting, haunting, haunting.
Miles into rural land, where no honk or squeal of the city could be heard, no urban life, The summer air was tempid and so thick you could slice it with a knife,
At some point in life I'll have to be honest...with myself.. with you. The truth is, I stopped caring. Not, in an I give no fvks.
You didn't know that when you met me,I was sad.You didn't know when you met me that I didn't know how sad I actually was.You didn't know that when you
All these tears are washing away with the rain All these fears are stripping away my insanity Every memory fades away with the past And each thought of you hurts more than the last  
I am dark and lovely. My skin glows with melanin. It is naturally unique.   I am dark and lovely. My hair is full of natural kinks, coils, curls. I don't need a relaxer.  
It's only in my dreams that I say what I mean, because I think too much when I feel too much-- or too little, and I find myself forgetting how to breathe, while I wander aimlessly inside a prison of dream.
It is a cruel world out there But, we must find the strength to live It cannot stay cloudy forever Something has got to give Everyone goes through the struggle That is where we learn the lesson
He eats; he sleeps. He jumps; he falls. He thinks, but can no longer recall. It moves; it beeps. It can write but not read. It is the mean. When it stops moving and beeping,
The bark booms, the trees sway. His head zooms, he tries to go away. He can't move, but he can't stay. He's constantly trapped inside his brain.
No feeling at all Nothing to recall Living my life Day to day While others have a ball   Can’t breathe nor smile
Sky
Looking up at night Is what makes me feel good. To see the sky alight, Makes me feel like I could Fly up and join the stars That shine in the sky, And be swallowed by the dark.    
It started early today with her ear-splitting nagging Her purpose is to obey me, so I retaliated with slapping Jabbing with a screwdriver she miserably misses
Over the horizon rests the deceased and the black skies and Smokey clouds lift the useless souls above ground There’s ritual drumming in the background Monstrous figures dance around a fire
You see and then connectFrom rebound to rebound, it’s all in your headthese broken souls, and misfortunate eventsare completely suppressed, once you take them to bedtrapped in a body of sinful debt
I took a commemorative driveBack to a town that glorified the wiseIt was 500 miles and three packs of cigarettesThe crisp, burning sound embedded in my head
Our skin meshed,By our tendons underneath,We were so grateful,Until you needed more than we, One by heart,Three by the feet,Your elbows now tug against my cheeks,Trying to rip through the sheath,And make your run for the prince,Your passions flow
Cryptic and puzzling Hard to understand No one could figure it out Nor did they have a plan What we have here Is a mystery Nothing but dark clouds Filled with ambiguity
***This was written during a dark part of my life and don't worry I am totally fine now and these thoughts are no longer a part of my mind***
Before even the Predawn light, The night wrapped Around the stars And blanketed The trees with Dark, feathery Blackness; There was no Sound, and Yet the silence
The flames die out. Ghostly traces of red and orange and purple haunt the sky. The last moments of light cling to the clouds as the weight of the sun is dragged down. Resting place. Somberness rises with the moon.
Look past the outskirts of the town of stray men Where none think to trod A black wall caging in the livestock All together lost within an arbitrary boundary   Run blindly past the seam of shadow and light
Voodoo priestess see the world that lives within our own,Sight is blind but chilling touch can reach within the bone.Gilded wishes pervert the mind to cheat the humble man,
A throne made of ivory bone a heart made of cold stone a palace in ruins  a world in shambles  people in shackles He sat upons his throne and thaught. It great to be king.
Dark secrets stalks the night as the moon raised The steps of the secret edges closer As the moon fetches the ocean praise But I couldn’t clutch my secret forever Each day my passion ablaze like the stars
He stares at his ceiling It's half past four It's paranoia he's feeling He looks at his door No one will come Yet, he still tries to run Away from his demons They scare him a ton
She wore it to his funeral, But it’s also the aura of her soul. It’s murder in cold blood; she stabbed him 27 times.             It’s the colour of hearts breaking apart, The colour of death and imperfection.
People mistake my sadness for poetry, But what they don’t realize is, It’s just my soul bursting from me. My mistakes, My heartaches, My life, My strife. I write them all out,
I can stop at any time, I don’t need it. I just want it. The needles, the pills… The crystal, the shrooms… The dust, the dragon… My tabs, my acid… My herbs and my rock… I like the warmth,
Across the scarlet horizon she stares, Her motivation gone, she no longer cares. Closer and closer to the edge she creeps, “He doesn’t love me. He doesn’t want me,” is all she speaks.
“Can we be friends?” he asked. “Sure.” She lied. (I just wanted more…) “Are you okay?” he asked. “I’m fine.” She lied. (I’m dying on the inside…) “I’m always here for you.” He said.
Your eyes used to shine with the stars, Like constellations in the night. Now they flicker with uncertainty, Dimness… Like a firefly slowly dying, Losing its spark.   What used to be, isn’t.
Fear. A devil straight from hell Causes anger to swell Fear. A demon With long wings Laced with blood Dripping down Like a butterfly after rain The eyes
She walked in the room quite unsure of herself, Everyone peered up towards her self conscious frame, She felt like the last book picked on the shelf, The girl sat alone in the corner knowing she'd never feel the same.
Sometimes the darkness overwhelms me, constricting my lungs until I forget what it's like to breathe deeply. Sometimes the darkness consumes me, eating away at my happiness
My body is a temple Which I used to respect But now, I’ve gone and fucked it up My temple is a mess
Life is a journey through the woods And I’m stuck in a bitter-sweet loop Many times, I’ve sworn I’ll change, but
Hello Darkness,
Am I invisibleWhen my arms wave for aidAm I bothering the peopleShunned and ashamedMy lungs fill with mistakesFour gallons of heart acheI fall to my endInside me
We start with theCrackling record of “Gloomy Sunday”Playing in the backgroundThe melody goes on slowlyBare feet moving carefullyto the romantic sound300 sextillion stars surround us
“We’re all just some punks, miserable creaturesWith our human goal to be: enhancing all of our featuresFurther into the caves, intentions become deeperLike killing your local preacher and to blame it on the teacher
Time creates a turning circleWhere my words playTangled and hurtful
In her eyes the world started off small and to her surpriseit was a sin to grow oldAge wasn't the purpose of her discovery, rather than the wisdom that came with no recovery
I am not a winner because I haven't fallen into the trap of sensitivityI have lost because my peers dramatize every little thingI am not a winner because I don't support implausible charities
Gently blend the makeup inCover those tired bruisesThen forgive and forget
We the peopleCreated the definition of insanityContinuously birthing another thesis to "protect" all of humanity
To whom it may concern,Yesterday I took a walk and I saw a birdHe flew in the opposite directionso I followedMy legs became weak, my head was so hollowHe led me directlyto a well
As I sit in my chair, practicing the traditions of bowing, blessing my heirThe thrown is now emptyMy body melts in the chairDrinking and reminiscingAbout the dynasty he created
The cold barren treesNo easy sway, but staunch in strife.No green from the leaves;No signs of life.
She always allowed music to follow her around. She tapped out rhythms and be-bopped and scat. She crooned
I do not like having to squint. The bright lights are unwelcomed, I do not like the way it glints against the tile on the floor, or wood on this desk
I would call myself many things before a poet.   The smell of mahogany and rain Pressed and pleated plaid skirts And rosaries around our necks
Teeth rip in Blood, thick and sweet on my tongue Salty flesh I spit out   Staring into angry, scared eyes I smile, their blood thick in my mouth
A sword flashes through my sight Blood flying from its blade I’m entranced It’s beautiful   I stand slack The image firm in my mind
I've got the scars on my heart to prove my pain After this I will never be the same You say I only have me to blame But you, the liar, should feel ashamed I've got scars on my heart to to show why I cry
I have you fooled. You can do this, It’ll be okay, It’ll work out, Just more lies through my teeth. I’m a foe disguised as a friend,
The beauty of fateis what binds us together.It sews you and I into the fabric,well, what little is left, that makesthe remainder of our humanity.  
hundreds of souls gather round the Flame their faces away to hide shade from shame yet one soul searches desperately in hope, to find one soul's heart not in evil soaked.  
A dusty mirror catches my attentionInstinctively I search for my reflectionAs I look past the grime to meet my twinShe stares back with a maniac's grin
The beat will come to mind, and words will leave my lips. The lyrics written when I was down, to remind of a dark place I wish not to experience again. One day I'll create a song and I'll sing, dance, swing my hips.
I was happy. We were happy. I don't think you know, but I heard the gun. Now, I live alone in numbness.   The feeling consumes me; that's all there is. No peace. Just noise.
Those who have felt it know its impossible now to forget. How consuming the darkness is  yet we were not done, were we? We still have our time left,  our strength to move on. "Come, Consume me," I say.
“It's so much fun! It's so much fun!” Said the deliriously happy red and white stripes, gliding up and down the flaps of the grand tent “It’s so much fun! It's so much fun!”
I need the light Whether it's form is in friendship, love, happiness. I crave the warmth that  encases me when I'm with it. The light I mean.
Black for her darkness hidden. Blue for her not yet cried tears. Green for her pain that is there but not found. Pink for all her fake smiles. Purple for the laughs that pains her but she tries.
A svelte owl, on wing through this dark mooned night, an ego ghost on the prowl, to find what has been for his might. . Elusive moonlight, scattered over frosty grass,
fuck that cat with two fists covered in molten lead If I had a nickel for every day I spent in hell,                 It would be the last three years with my ex-girlfriend. I don’t know what that equates to,
Late night woken, barely alive. struggling to see the light through other's eyes. covered in darkness, covered to the core. try to show people me, but they don't see the sores.  
There once was a mother Who lost her lover And all she had was a child Despite her care And the life she shared The mother slowly grew wild   As the child screamed The mother schemed
"You Motherfucker" She said as she let the darkness within her That she suppressed and kept hidden for so long, awaken. Rendering him powerless  with every word she spoke.
In the midst of chaos stands a lone rock. This rock doesn't waver nor does it speak. It just sits there, before the fray and watches. Everything around the  rock, leans forward
Come hither my cats, let me sing you a lullaby. Sleep in my arms, lay in the bed of lavender. Listen to the song of sleep, and let it linger in your ears. The night has come
In life we are given many tokens of worldly greatness,Staring us in the eyes through a mist,A dark fog with nowhere to see anything in front of us,Except for those objects that are inanimate.
How strange it is to see you here, even after all these years? Come, have you, to see me now, to see me lying in my cask? Have you come to mourn me now, or have you to degrade me once more?
Tick! Tock!, goes the clock, That seems its repeated refrain. It never stops or ever fails, And bores into my brain.   Click! Clack!, goes the steps,
  Here in the garden, kaleidoscopic. Here where I took and ate, saccharine. Here she was born.   Let me go  Please stop it.    My veins crepuscule. Eyes dark  Lips dark
A blanket of time covers our eyes. Fire rains down from the sky and water grows from salt. We have shifted. Fallen. Fast and deep into nothing save for imaginary realities.
And I don't want to be another victim to your vices committed to humanity  making sacrifices  reacting to such selfish ways a mirage of what real life is manipulating chemicals  playing with mad science
What a burden love can be 
In the darkness I heard a voice, It wasn't screaming for help, it was asking for someone to join them. I never understood why this was. It wasn't until after her that i realized no one wants to be alone in the darkness
    There is a dark hole, thats been growing for a while. Where there was once light, is now dark, with no desire. Day by day my body aches, causing the hole to deepen.
It's all just a big game you spawn at the beginning you start with nothing and start as nothing. You build yourself up with the misguided influence of others, you must learn all the tips and tricks
Sitting in a deep dark room,A void of blackness surrounds me.The end will come soon,The clouds outside seem eerie. Sitting there thinking,I'm trapped in my mind.My thoughts are sinking,I'm running out of time. My mind is a prison,I see no escape.M
Young King, Stand here with me as we face the darkness And as light seems to fade and the shadows rise Fear and hopelessness take hold And as my strength weakens I feel the end come near, only to be
On the forbidding ground I lay, As the trees above me sway. The clouds above me roar with thunder; Don’t wake me from my dreamless slumber.   I feel a hurricane is near; It’s so hard to not feel fear.
I am the night.  I am the dark. I am the very thing that children wake from in their terrified stupors of panic, gasping for air and clutching duvets closer to themselves, trembling in the vast blackness.
Conform they say You'll be just fine Hide the truth away It's only  a matter of time   Society has clipped my wings I can no longer fly No happiness this brings Some days I'd rather die
With summer laze and winter days we wend our ways  in the silence of the night. And creeping still, thoughts mill amongst the dying of the bright. But what comes will be and what be will comes
Only a portion of me is a neon pink. Outgoing and wild, crazy and free, doing what I want, when I please. On a good day I'm a bold red. Bouncing off the walls,
#5
A life full of struggles is one that I lived, they started off mild, only a kid. Getting bad grades and making no friends, these are some struggles that I don't pretend.
As I look to the sky, my thoughts dwindle the clear blue eases my mind with no effort I close my eyes as the blue and grey mix smelling the sweet air of rain, i smile.  
As the sun sets, my world turns upside down My mood is ruined by the flowers bloom When I look up, the unique look down The beauty of the world is equal gloom The look of others, make my smile frown  
*Throwback Poem: This poem was written way back in 2010, when I was about 11, and thought I was Edgar Allan Poe!! Haha!*   Dripping with violence,
A demon from the dark side Is trying to summon you For your not even dressed right In your clothes at night He's watching you as you are lost How will you choose the right path?
I'm sorry that I'm so sensitive. I'm sorry that I feel whole when you speak. I'm sorry that I'm relentless. I'm sorry for being weak.
He’s tired and he’s weary but his heart is on fire.
               Rage against the dying world, Rage against the light, Rage against the sorrows that bar my heart from flight.                 The morning left me winded, The evening left me bare,

A worn out face stares through the fog, forgotten voices fill her head. The dripping of the constant rain, diminishes the never ending pain.   Two dim lights finally appear,
The sunlight slowly began to fade, It's silent whispers hissed, "Don't be afraid." It disappeared from empty streets, as little children hid under sheets.   Darkness filled the broken ones,
Damn. They said he was a horrible man That killing him would be a blessing A delight Then why does it feel so wrong His crimson blood staining these boots Like spatter art over the walls Beautiful
A perfect family But only to the eye When you come into their lives That perfect family has very dark lies But o'no one pays close attention
The world spins around in shades of black All around my head my own thoughts betray me, planning their attack I wish I could scream Or wake up from this horrible dream A never ending feeling of floating
Sounds of birds and frogs, Howls of owls from some hidden logs,
Second rate 
The song of syreni
Funeral visions of half remembered pasts
My heart is dark The light can never find me. No one is beside me. I'm all alone, But I'm scared to go outside The light is the reason; The reason I'm in the dark. I've been here for so long,
Slash at my arms, my legs, my throat What God is there to pray to  that creates such emotions as this. I pray.   To not feel, I search for a void to I search for a void I search for
You're a devil. You're a menace. No more love for you is your penance. You're irrational. You're belligerent. How stupid was I to think you were different?  
“Leash and Collar” The wind came by and picked me up My heart dropped down but my body flew up I dreamt a pile of words Then woke up and threw up
Wrapped in a blanket, Warm as can be, No thought to forsake it, No breath can he see.   Snow won't stop jumping, From the clouds to the ground,
I'm all alone in this room, Sitting here in my stone doom. I'm all alone in this land. I'm not part of God's plan.   No more, I can't. Tears pour, I can.
This airplane is on fire and it's going down.Soon everybody on board will no longer be around.I'm really scared because of the trouble that I'm in.I'm praying and I'm begging God to forgive my sins.
I shake, and I shiver. They're starting to see past the glitz and the glimmer. It's getting harder to smile and laugh When I want to scream and die. How can I deal with that?  
My American psycho likes to kiss. My American psycho likes me to be his. My American psycho needs me to love him. My American psycho is so stupid.   He has a dark, dark soul.
I'm getting bad again, Everyday i wake up feeling the same thing.. lugubrious. Thoughts of suicide, On my mind 24/7 it's like..i'm high!
He was a man of God but that thug didn't care in the least.That animal walked into a Parish and murdered the Priest.When he was arrested, he said that he killed the Priest because he hated God.
A man broke into my house and killed my entire family.Because of his corrupt lawyer, he was found not guilty.He killed another family and was found not guilty a second time.
He walks at home in the streets alone a lone light Glimmers as his day starts to fade a satchel for his car and a lighter for his fuel he drifts off into another star evening
The lost of hope in my life is real. I sit in the dark thinking  of simpler times and I dream  of these distant memories that are fading away. The hope is gone forever,
I am normal like you yet I feel so much pain. Words that cut deep inside me. They hurt so bad the constant downgrades of my life ,yet I find the will to hold on
  I am tethered to the shore
The Raven and The Light   The bird that flys in the night, you shall call him crow. I may call him winged king. The name beats in my heart.
I must say I have a dark secret to tell One that will mostly, leave me burning hell.   Call it a fetish, a sick delight,
The pain within my heart kills me, Drowns me, Completely destroys anything that comes my way.
lonely with my thoughts as the night whispers sweet nothings in to my ear
Got the white like berger n plain tee's I aint talkin crack so why yall lookin at me Ima worthless piece of shit Do nothing all day stare at the ceiling watch flicks My father thinks im crazy
I’m mental. I’m losing what’s left of my rapidly deteriorating mind. Its hard to understand a basket case. No one really does.
All these crazy things,
I've been searching for hours, to find a reason why. It's 2 A.M. and I'm running circles in my mind. I whisper prayers that go unheard. I wonder when my thoughts will turn. To happy days
All she ever knew
Lord, save me from my sins
Lights on   Lights off. Then
Under shadow of the blissful black
In the begining,
Are you afraid of the dark? Of silence Of stillness Of nothingness The vast emptiness U try to make out shapes in the blank space Can you see it I see everything
I sit in a room A dark and cold room A lifeless,
 colorless,
 dank room   In the corner I sit I sit and wait I wait for hours From days to week  
  Unfeeling and inanimate I am
It's a lousy life when you live to die Caught in a world of thieves, heartaches, broken dreams In trying to get by your stream of faith runs dry   Living inside a slum Pain's sting starts feeling numb
You better believe you gotta misread all the signs, they ain't faithful All the ladies, they ain't careful you gotta have time to get a dime this world, this life, all the strife Dams blowin up,
I am alive: My color radiant as blood Electricity coursing throughout I hold my head towards the sun As I accept the blessing of rain ... I am withered
I stand in the valley of the shadow of death, Don't understand why I'm here, Everything seems deep, dark, and dangerous. Anyone here?
I never knew how scarlet red
As you lay in your bed, eyes shut- waiting to fall asleep, listen. You hear that ringing in the silence? If you listen hard enough you'll hear voices. The voices will tell you dark things.
Cease and desist Or else suffer the consequence We live in a police state Corruption is rampant Forces of racists and brutatlity reign Another innocent gunned down, bring a city to fame
  I am controlled by this Bryiana, What story has my face have told? Her very presence sends a chill of electricity down my spine
Twas a tree sat lonely 'pon a shady knoll,
The school bell rings And I slip through the back door
Rain It drips down my back In quick succession. Rivulets form a path, An irrelevant digression. Gravel It retaliates the rain. Each drop Absorbing the pain. Walking still, 
If you should walk at night when The Moon wears her charcoal mask Hide under lamplight or you shall be Snatched away by the Crimson Flabbergast   A wraith forged of screaming shadows
In darkeness, there is light. In the rain, there is sun shine.  So even while I'm unable to grasp the pai, my mind is at ease.  For even through death is life.   
In darkness I see a speck of light Fleeting in my realm
Sometimes the world is too much for me
Beautiful in silence Passing in grievance. My heart shall love evermore,
I am just Me. I have stretch marks. I have scars. I have cuts. I have demons. I have lost. I have bruises. I have acne. I have fat. I have weird birthmarks.
Romeo and Juliet? Just stories Kissing in the rain? Movies Wishing on shooting stars? Walking along the beach? My question is why? Why do you want to fill me with pain and envy?
He'll beat you with secrets He'll be drunk off lies You'd be a fool to fall into his trap   I know I cannot control you Your life is yours to live Experiment with your set of boys in
I walk down a curving path
Hello? Is anybody there? Can you hear me? Do you care? I’m screaming inside And this laugh is a joke about how much it hurts …… One word One phrase One joke One comment
Stare keenly out of the ajar window, to the moon and through the trees.
I wait for him in the dark.  
They say your eyes, When given time, Become accustomed To the night.   Though dark and eerie One great shadow, Night penetrated Glows to light.   It is a lie.
 I lie here not knowing if I’m awake or asleepI quickly open my eyes to realize the reality I once knew no longer existI no longer existA darkness now consumes me
These chains of life they hod me back, They keep me in a spot of torture Far from light, Far from life of others, Far from anything but myself, These chains, they dont belog just to anyone,
Do you ever just have one of those days where   you wake up and nothing seems right? One of those days where you look down the hall and someone has turned off the lights?  
on the corner of Madison and Wells, a ghost with a gray cotton tee and tattered jeans saw my red lace dress and started deer hunting. he wasn’t timid, only lanky, and gripped the ground 
And then it hit me;you never loved me. You don’t treat someone you loved like that. 
Knowing that you are alright my future always looks forever so bright
Walked in shattered, Plastered to pew,  shadow black, back row 3 to the right, Looking for immunity in community, Only to find more scrutiny, Black sheep, Cracked heart,
What's in the shadows?What's in the dark?What's tucked away,in infinite thoughts?What is unspoken?What is away?In the mind ofa person,what don't they say?
i made it a day without you and looks where its got me I'm covered in filth and there's no one to stop me 
Jack Frost is nipping at my nose. Well more like biting. Well more like chewing my flesh till it bleeds.   My ears are burning in the icy wind. They may break off any second.  
When I was young I was teased and called burned
When i close my eyes, theres darkness When my eyes open, theres a dark you couldn't fathom
Every morning I start with one thing I start with my mask To hide my eyes To hide my face To hide all expression So no one sees Me crying in pain So no one can see
10/20/2014  
The cello sat in the corner Dim charcoal cords run down its spine Still untouched and without pure rhyme Like a sparrow, whose lost their voice
Day by day, Night by night, I see a ray, But no true light. I sit and wonder, Is it me?
The sun is hot, the wind is low and soft against your face. The trees are green, their shadows tall and cool in their embrace. The grass is bright, the flowers vivid, and swaying in the breeze.
Lets kiss the sun goodbye and fly through the night the air's cold as ice i hope you wont  mind just take my hand, hold real tight dont let go, grip for your life trust me please, and i'll take a bite
The Sun goes down and welcomes the Night
One night, I fell ill I grabbed the scissors And swallowed all the pills I cut my chest and held my heart God did not bless My work of art As it beat was still alive A bite so sweet
There has always been something special about October About Halloween About the Addams Family and their sadistic values There's something about the moon at night
In my mind, the time rewinds--to moments, to memories, 
Your writhen thoughts had unexplainable august about them, I wonder from what this could stem? They have remarkable semblance to knotted fingers, The way each twines into my mind and lingers, Drawing me in,
Alone inside my mind where I confide    My hatred brutal and cruel  my heart dead and cold   My life is falling apart  I'm  ripping at the seams   
For whome, This may
Blackness, blackness, blackness- would you imagine my mind is just as black As my shoes and my clothes and my eyes and my hopelessly dark arm hairs.
Bloodshot digits awaken from below,
I prize my gift from the sun, the smooth ebony blanket that trails in my path. It bears the token of my progress, like a toll booth of past endowments, always full of unanswered prayer.  
My dearest best friend,
Why do we wake up? Humans are evil . Humans are dumb. Humans can think yes. But only of what suits them best. Humans walk beside the rest of us. Forgetting they are the rest of us
Reality is plagued with cruelty which we try to escape in every way.Constantly seeking a new exit from the present distaste,We find hideous pleasures in the most unrecognizable treasures.
Heroes can only be stars If they have a night sky To shine against  But I never asked To be the darkness  
Though darkly inspired
I will let darkness cover me, Make me weary
Words, Light and sweet, like cotton candy, Soak into a sugar dribble.   Words, Hot and harsh, like habanero peppers, Sting into a capsaicin burn.   Words,
Weightless happy euphoria A cloud filled with wistful thoughts Breathless whispers That mask the sliver of darkness So sharp that it cuts slits In the fabric of their lives But I am gone
mmmmmm. Your hands are warm...and also clammy Maybe it's cause you're nervous or maybe you're not.   In the end it doesnt matter because after it's done,it's done.
Today I say good morning to the sun! Usually it is the sun that wakes me up every single day. But today is special... At six a.m. it is I smiling down as the Sun Stirred from his deep, deep slumber.
My head spinning round and round as I lay in My bed to the point I want to cry.

Why does my shadow mock me? Everything I do, it does the same, Very ghostly and crafty, I have to do something to throw it off aim.
Here's one from several months back:   Weighed down by the mistakes of my past A pebble, a rock, a mountain on my shoulders At first I ran, regrets like quicksand sucking at my feet
I know so many people that hate the rain and love the day.   But me?
Here is the begging, so romising and bright, but what f you can't se the light? Hidden by the darkness of a pain that never ends. Hidden by the sorrow of a fight that just began.

Cybil pushed through the parlour egress She did not like to think what lay beyond the recess For her imagination raged and galloped And thought up all manner of horrible things
The wind dances through my bones like chimes,
The sound of shoes scuffing the floor echoed throughout the hallway.    A black hood encases her face, hiding her from the world.   She keeps her head down,
At 6, she wanted to be a ballerina.At 9, she wanted to be a doctor.At 14, she wanted to be skinny.At 16, she wanted to be dead.

Spinning 'round this world of doom,
An Exit Ashley Shea A sign upon a door Search for your red sign Take your effortless way out An escape from your despair You take the worlds brutal hits With each wound you quiver
The music seems to drown out her screaming.
This darkened hour pulls upon the deep scars. Hidden in plain sight, the smiles seem to cover the pain.
Summer rays burn,
Lustful flames roared with such intensity Devouring the essence of endlessness Leading to the arc of restlessness, That was where he was found.
You lose yourself in a mirror
My Community is often called dark. We are often mistaken as rundown. However we are the ones with the spark.
On the bed and on the bathroom counter I lost track of time, maybe two hours? I completely devoured the passion you were incredibly lacking and got a high of pure satisfaction
Once, I saw a white rose
When all goes dark and quiet You know my song has started Close your eyes and imagine Thousands of little lights watching Can you guess where you are? The slow humming is all you hear
The day slowly darkens so have my thoughts Your presence inviting but not inviting enough  I run after you and stop right and then I turn around and forget you again
I can't breathe My tears flow freely, the sick feeling of dread overwhelming me His hands are warm, controlled and gentle. He's comforted others before me,

Even the darkest of nights see the sun on the horizon. Even the meanest of craetures admire the butterflies. Even the dark side of the moon sees the stars shining bright.

"A Darkened Heart" By: Lilly Van Sickle
I live in the dark,
Sometimes the nasty nature
the warm white tide Your footsteps in the sand, They’re only temporary, Soon to fill with seawater, Flushed orange with the last Lost rays of shimmering daylight.
Sometimes, sometimes when I find…   That my voice is so tiny, so especially paltry. I can’t help but think how reality seems so bleak.   It seems like nothing, Not even a spark of

(....hi ho.......hi ho....) (....hi ho.......hi ho....)   It's time   (....hi ho.......hi ho....)   Once again  
I no longer like to look back, feels like broken bones and broken glass, tastes like the final hit when the remains are ash, smells like old books, rotting houses and burning cash.  
All dreams are a branch of reality
In the blackest of the night, It glides through the overgrown grassand threw the sewers under the city streets.It swallows the minds of innocents.It rips into the lost souls.
The fiendish desire to die lurked in the depths of the innocent. Lost little souls with nowhere to go with their perception all crooked and bent.
The light flashes. Blinks, constantly, in the dark room.

There once was a world that was darkBut in one girl there was a small light.This girl was able to leave a mark
Slow like the morning sun rises The hourglass frozen Dawn passes a slow horizon
Sit in a dark room Hear the beat of the bird caged in Your Chest. It  wants out, to be  free of its dark and sad prison. Feel  the caress, feathers against the bars
The world is notBlack and whiteIt's gray -Millions of shades of itAnd it's hard to knowWhat's rightAnd wrongAnd what's in-betweenIn that gray area
There is nothing
When I'm left alone, Every doubt and question comes to mind. Every single ounce of my depression, Roars its ugly face, And racks every inch of my body. I'm floating in old memories, Old mistakes...
A darkness falls here  behind eyes of silver crystal  shimmering blue in a once present flare
I Am The Wolf, Quite And Sleek,  You'll Never Find Me, No Matter How Long You Seek.   I Hide In The Shadows, For You No Not Witch One, But I'll Make Sure You See Me Smiling,
In this darkness I fall
Faster than dark, from disillusioned skies Of sable silk, the stars release their grasp, Descending into bitter winds that rasp Against the feathers of a night who flies Faster than silence born of memories
Life is a shadowShifting, shaping, twistingInto braided ropesThat wrap around the throat andTugBending over window ledgesCurling into gnarled talons that Grasp at your heart to
Once upon a timeIn a land not far far awayIs a girlSitting in the windowTears rolling down her faceLike the rain on the glass
Red
Violent screams, tears dripping from 
Burning on the inside  freezing on the out
Thoughts flow
Everywhere I turn silence greets me If there is one thing I yearn for it is a face Something other than the embrace Of solace, because her mockery is deafening
These cold hands are stuggling  Can't get warm if anything I try and try again Only to get colder than The heart of this dead body walking I can't resist the coughing

The darkness and light struggles within,Can't imagine where to begin.Seeing through clouds of darkness and dispare,One wonders what to do from there.Bright eyes pierce the soft soul,
At first, it flickers, blinking in face of the world's bright lights.With fear it strengthens, as not to be left behind.Gently waving, emitting its own light,   growing, stealthily growing
I've always been here, if you needed me. Although you never even noticed my prescence. 
The darkest room.The dearest soul.Finds comfort in its blackest holdThe world turned hard.The broken heart.Finds refuge in the silent darkThe lost and lonely.Lightless and faint.
A man walks down a white road. He sees a child fallen on the street corner.  He tries to assist, she's too afraid- of what? He sees a man with a sign - black with white letters- "in need"- of what?
I hear a faint dissonance travel You again, in homely tears  I am the wet nurse at your disposal;  So, let me be drained by the frenzy of desperation . . . .   Crusade along the barren land,
Dead man walking Sentened by the boss Look who's talking Sorry for the loss Dead man walking   We'll get there somehow But where are we now?   Let's get rolling
To anyone:   I’m vomiting now, a violent revulsion, My self-made punishment from silent compulsion. Weeks turned to months as I sought isolation,
My dog is my only friend I know it might be hard to apprehend But my dog is my one true friend   We go for walks And she listens to me talk                    And talk
Say it isn't so Vagabond Your heart is never there You wander endlessly without a care
Sitting in a room full of people but nobody can hear your scream. Walking down the halls alone as if you were in a horrible dream.
Running. running. Always running. Never back. Only forward. Never down. Only up. Running. Always running. From the past. To the future. From the street.
Light rain. Gentle moon. Perfect bliss, outside of this room... The night is calm, but my heart is not. For the deed I have done is one that cannot be undone. She was my love, she was my life,
Puffy eyes; sleep deprived.
Oh, mama End me because when you sent me to ground, my lungs caved in I dug my own hole, shovel in hand, but when I looked back at you, mama, you threw me in, and the door slammed shut
The Whitest Soul I may be,
Like ebony feathered ravens --squawk, caw squawk-- beaks sharp as talons talons sharp as hawk’s   They prey on the weak, the strong, and the brave, the boisterous, the silent,
Black and blue colorsof the dark huesof the night sky.Twinkling, glittering starssprayed all around the skylike art on canvas.Blurry reflectionon the river water of amagnificent moon.
One morning I woke to the sound of my Family's despair, and I ready myself for the day ahead and descend down my aunt's stairs. Why me? I asked myself sorrowfully.
There is a low in our life sanction    call low of love and discussion   People start to speak foreign language   Thought become blur more   Brain write the bath of sorrow  
It's just another day, still hanging by a thread. When I open my eyes, to see a pillow and a bed.Where I lay my head, I think to myself thank god I'm still alive and not found dead.
Joy given by the pain bestowed upon those I crush under my thumb, tortured screams and moans are my music and illness of mind my muse
Its dark, its cold, theres no way out every space of light seems to be occupied by its own form of witchcraft I walk on this world with no stablilized path the lukewarm presense of the present life
  There is a madman on the wall Where he hangs with sticky fingers. And in his quick-silver hand Lies a locket made of whispers.

Dark to light. light to dark.hence my soul becomes a spark.benevolence is as benevolence doesto light/extinguish the fire between all of us (April 1, 2011)
Shadowed dark skies roar over head, as I lay here dreaming in my bed. In my mind I stand in a field of flowers, and I become lost in daydream for countless hours. I'm surrounded by dark colors and hues,
I struggled against my restraints I was forced here, into a cage I wasn't meant to be locked away I have things to do, Places to see, People to meet  
We know you can see them. Your eyes on your desk, your pen in your hand, your lips glued together, and your eyes defiantly shut, We know you can see them. They are the quiet ones, the loud ones,
Left in then darkness In the corner of my mind Are my dark secrets
And it's really sad, how this all worked out. I watched the scene alter, watched it all fall down. With a tear or two, maybe three.  I can feel them drowning, or is it me?
When the darkness falls And the day slips away There’s nothing you can do To keep the demons at bay   As the day turns to dusk And the night creatures roam There’s nothing you can do
The sky turns dark A deep black falls upon us. The angels cry as the Earth pushes further away from the Golden Gates. Twenty centuries of deep sleep. The great hands try to shake
To one who darest contend mortal fate Woe are my grev’ous sins before the fire The screams of my vexed soul doth not abate Leaving me forever trapped in the mire  
As I stand here, at Ground ZeroI reflect on what happened all those years agoSo many bitter memories on my mindFrom the day I escaped with just my lifeI should be a dead man, I shouldn't be alive

I walk among the childrenSome young and some oldLike the oak tree in myGrandfather’s house. The wind ruffles the leaves.It is a foggy fall night.Im not alone.At least I tell myself I’m not.
The cave fish swim Round and round Going nowhere Blind in the dark   Most have no eyes But one fish sees Sees the blackness Feels the hopelessness   The fish with eyes
I arrived out of the dark night Runnin', runnin' Runnin' for my life, I saw left I saw right I forgot what was right Then I decided to go left Going left was going deaf
    The room goes cold The door squeaks open And footsteps grow louder A hand grabs the covers
Happiness doesnt always fall upon you, you have to choose it and then persue it. 7 years ago, my world darkened, my eyes were opened to how bad people really were,
It was the coward's way out, he knew. He could feel it rolling around in his gut like a stupidly cheerful puppy.
Every time I sleep; pains on my brain’.Abolishing my heart n soul lord escort my vein.From the bounded clouds of this mournful pain.I can’t predict the weather nor the range of the rain.But hope for the station of this moving train.Thou death is s
Dark is not a beautiful walk on the beach. Dark is a daunting walk through the forest of hands and teeth. Dark is a vampire sucking that little hint of  life from your God-forsaken soul.
Took an hour to write... Enjoy :)   Poetry is an art, my imagination's the canvas. The lyrics I breathe're pure, but bear evil thoughts of a savage. Demonic practice; without a leash I bet I murder the masses.
My life is a lie. Every day is a challenge As I put on a show for those closest to me. I was taught that these feelings inside me are wrong.
    Come, don’t be afraid. Travel into the Distance on the path that curves into Nothing and bends into eternity.   Be with me As I walk into the core of the silence
Things come and change The Darkness will comfort you Do not fret Do not cry All you have to do is call one guy.   Speak of the Devil, And the Devil shall appear.
A pit of fire. Cast bones into the pit and interpret the signs. Summon the devil from the pit and worship his kind. Flee, Logic! Flee, Reason! You are a bladeless knife, a pointless rapier; You are worthless!
There lie Eli, face-down. His lip was split open, red with blood all around. Rib cage busted Eyes bruised with the brown of his eye looking glazed and rusted  
Cold, dark A soft blackness Stars dot the midnight sky Somewhere, a tiny creature awakes Dawn comes
Cold, dark A soft blackness Stars dot the midnight sky Somewhere, a tiny creature awakes Dawn comes

I'm swimming in a sea of saddness, running out of breath. Although it seems I've spotted shore, I'm always wrong: it's never near. I wish I'd sink or be attacked, at least then I'd feel something.
We were like a bright and sunny day, But a dark cloud hovered and you became gray. Once sitting and laughing until we cried, Now something happened, our flower died. I wondered if things were better would we still be okay?
Hinging everything so delicately One wrong move, everything will fall and fail. It is the price to pay to deal with me. I will keep you close from all that will ail   Only a small price to pay, no big deal
Wicked hearts so vast and hollow Heartless eyes set on the morrow Greedy, grasping, never to miss Hunger endless as an abyss   Twisting, turning, a tangled weave Washed on beaches of filthy eve
At first, it was disconcerting; The feeling of being unable to rest. Now, I am comforted by it. My mind, it never sleeps-- Never quiets-- Never stops-- Never dies. I can feel it;
My thoughts sprawl across the night,even with closed eyes.I wish I could pluck little memories,and throw them miles away.They dance playfully in and out of my mind,confusing what is real.
Three Fates fathomed a fellow to figure Facsinating that which is feral and foul  To be fervid and satisfying; A furious felicity.   Three moaning eyes, muttering movements of demise,
                                                  Did you ever wish you can turn back time To that one scene in your life.   When listening to your head just didn’t seem right?  
I can see, but I am blind. I can hear, though I am deaf. I can speak, yet I am mute. I find myself wandering, like a spirit, Walking the same path over. I cannot tell if a dream has taken me
  corners combined, edges bleeding together,   like a puzzle pieces fit together;   Jigsawed sides Slash lines In each other’s  Faces.   A buyer,
  I am old, My hair is gray, My skin is wrinkled.   I am young, My blonde curls dance in the light, My youth shines on my face.   I am holding a shovel. One pile of dirt
What is freedom? Is it the light I see in this dark place? Is it just a word, or do I give the meaning to it? Is it the feeling of floating freely in poisonous water? 
It covers everything It is our friend and enemy It shields our faces Our emotions and devestations It knows our fears It creates our fears We tell it everything,and we we tell it nothing
Our World... Rapacity! Where Men usurp the youth. Men who manifest greed, lust, power Illimiuniting Freud's Id through actions Alas! The youth replicate their Teachers. Cloned as the Men
I am from the southern part of Dayton, Ohio. I am from my dad and granddad because my dad has anger management And because my grandparents didn't want children, And when I was born I was real sensitive on the inside
Ever feel like your trapped In a bottomless hole so deep  but yet comfortable to your new surrounding  familiar with the dark walls  and the ordinary smell that become your only companions
Light and Dark walked together one cold winter's night under the shining face of the moon, full and bright. On this night they could walk arm in arm As old comrades might, forgetting their differences.  
To begin something, with a blank mind to begin somthing, where only time can tell you if it's what you thought only time spent, to figure what you've bought.   Most people never begin, 
Here here, come come, I say I say Thou sullen traveler, ye irksome stray. Where forego thy errands lie,Whither thou goest over stone and under sky,To reach what destination thereby? 
It’s the last time you’ll see him. He’s pale with closed eyes. He used to make you happy, But now all you do is cry. You cry over what was, And what won’t ever be. You cry because you realize

Why I Write. Well, I write because my lips are sealed, Im speechless, The words on the paper stab at my meekness and rips open my flesh, Only to show that the outside is decent but the inside is a mess.
I use to sit alone in my dark room surrounded by clouds of dark thoughts My life was so cold back then and I kept thinking I couldn't last too much further on
Hands lock, fingers curl. Eyes twitch. Just a few of the many things we do together. When walking on the beach, seagulls high above us. People waving hello as we get higher,
We live a life with knowledge that death must come.The days of fall are gravenThe leaves fall upon the barren ground, the ravenCalls out in the midnight sun.
Silent, bright-eyed, constantly watchingThe holes in darkness for a time stay lastingBut when time dies down all matter changesThe gaps are sewn, it rearranges
My private thoughts are my worst enemy Things that shouldn’t roam my mind, do. Eventually it becomes too much So I open my mouth And when I do, all my thoughts flow out
Life; It is something to be cherished and treasured Something to put your all into
Patient and silent, I will wait Shrouds of shinister figures, beckoning Cloaked in darkness, I will wait Into the depths of the forboding abyss Neither friend nor foe, I will wait
When I look at my life as an outsider would, I see that it looks rather boring. Dull.  Insignificant. The fact of the matter is, I am not a genius An athlete A prodigy
Just one quick motion, One quick slit down the wrist. That’s all she needed to ease her pain She never considered how others felt How I felt I thought that I could light the darkness that grew in her heart
The kindness in the smile of a little girl. Fearless and free...the world not yet clawing away her freedom to love, sees through eyes as clear as the sea with an embrace as warm as the sun.
Orange...   It's the color of you You always wore it It's the color we shared As we hid from them   With it we showed our true selves, Though no one cared As our orange bookbags
Nothing last forever, The oceans will dry, Leaves and flowers wither, Monuments fade, and men do too.   What is life will not stay, What is death grants only reprieves,
Darkness It creeps around me It surrounds me Everything is dark Hurt and pain engulf me They rearrange my story There is no hope   I open my eyes to find a glimpse of something.
His white muzzle is concealed in crimson The rogue at his feet heaves its last breath Sure of its death he limps away Back to his pack He must defend them Whatever the cost Blood drips from a leg
Smoldered eyes stare back in a glaze Her purple lips and skin like a maze The icy touch of Death is bare The color of death in her strands of hair  Her flesh now paler than snow As she lie in her grave below 
The world is spinning too fastI can’t keep up at allI try to reach for help butI find myself falling Can anybody helpPut me back together?I can’t stop fallingFurther into darkness
They built these walls to protect me At least that's what they said. "Monsters, demons and darkness live Beyond these high stone walls" Entrigued I was by their small fact
If I were to lose you now I don't know where I'd be. You took your last bow On the stage where you once felt free.   My tears would become streams, With horrible feelings; the colour black.
A grim reflection of skin and bones Tearing her apart with self-hatred Magazines covered with beauty She only wishes she could be like them The mirror tells her lies
Why do I write? Writing has become a part of my life. Through my sinister days, writing was there the day of my wake. Tragedy after tragedy, lost in a deep dark hole, writing was there, and it became my home.
oh my dear...There's a lot of girls whom I could seekeach one without a peep.The markings of tributes on my wallThe red stained of love on my cheekAs I stand on my feetProclaim my love for the one I speak.
sitting here all alone...No one to hold me tight. As the frowning comes,the tears appear...the razor comes out...I notice, its clean no blood, no skin, nothing
  Camera, cameras, flash. Click, Click, snap.  The people all stare but it’s my job not to care. She tells me I’m pretty, he tells me I’m fine. But it’s always there, in the back of my mind.
See the masked skeletons of undead slaves march varnished spirits welded together by the sins of their past through the smog they trudge
Deep underwater Remnants of the past twinkle Trapping all who grasp for their comfort The cold, unforgiving comfort Of a wanted past And a watery future.
People are ignorant, thinkng she wont run away into the cornfield She screams, shes online, she hides under her protective shield Shes hiding away in the cornfield She posts, no one cares, her wounds unhealed
She is tumbling, cascading, silently spiraling into a tunnel of hopelessness. you are too dark! you're not pretty enough! she desperate for comfort.
Asleep; I tremble and shakeWishing I were awakeAwake; I shake and trembleSeeing how my nightmare seems to resembleThis place as bleak as hellYet here I continue to dwellWaiting for the sweet breathThe sweet breath of Death So when my life does cea
Cold, green grass buried under bare feet, Shivering, squirming to get loose, to be free, Wiggling up between toes, afraid of being trapped. Rasping against skin, embedded into the bones
Don’t you know that you are mine? Has God not told you yet? He wrapped our souls in endless vines So love, forgive and then forget Let’s dance you say? You fidget, squirm Let’s dance in love instead!
Night. A time filled with darkness. Darkness. Close your eyes and you will know. But, true darkness surrounds you, you can feel its prescence,
You won't take the time. So you don't know. She has a good heart. But through her exterior that doesn't show. All you can see is the poverty that her family has been cursed with.
You sicken me that time in my past, when you played with me like I was a puppet a show for all of hell to see. My motions little, my emotions running rapid like the heart beat in my chest
She paints her lips rouge Donning the black dress and matching hat Putting on pumps and a veil She is going to a funeral Bidding farewell to her final betrayal   This entity has no heartbeat
One cut. Two cut. Three cut. Four. How many cuts until I'm at death's door?  
And dancing, they were,   The two girls, and the boy   Caring not about time,   That seemed not to pass by       They noticed not, that not a stare  
I nonchalantly sat their alone while the night sky fell upon me, while rodents ran past my feet. The stench of overfilled trash dumpster and the worlds left over garbage of people sat near by.
And I was just wondering if you saw it too   The green bile behind all these smiles   Coming up up up   Starting up up up      
Secretly the moon dances with the stars, Across the night sky, They shift and glitter against the darkness of life, Two dancers in love as their love shines down. Maybe in the moon's silver gaze, We too,
The wind whips within The windows, whining To be free, falling, frozen In time forever, But it bows out because Its blood is too thin Or maybe much too thick For this warm morning
As I grew older, my mind became bolder With every touch of passion, I become clutched I began to write when I began to reason reality, a creative formation status of my full mentality
Shots are being fired, but it's all in my head The stabbing memory that nothing was said The screaming inside is getting so loud I'm just waiting for that final silence to kill of my rage, the dirt, the dark black cloud
Come wonder with me, Where the stars combust into thousands of colors and fall down, So swiftly and so silently, Against the winds cries, Will you follow me? Follow your feet,
Unsurpassed, unwavering, unthinkable fear. There is no assurance of tomorrow. Any known stability, ripped from my grasp. The voices without end. There is no escape! They will be coming for me. Too late!
Terror and fright consume me: Light leaves and dark trails behind me. I am forever alone with no one near or close, In this secluded island, I stand morose.
Heart thrumming Blood pulsing Mind racing Thoughts raging Demons pounding At my door Becoming one of them Once more.
Never forget who you are Thats what my mother told me That advice took me far Unfortunately that couldn't be.
(poems go here) There once was a man named Ted, Who decided one night to look under the bed. What he saw, it seemed, Really made him scream. And now, he has no head.
My blood runs cold, My thoughts are dark, But you already know, And I've left my mark. Even knowing this, You can't stay away. You wanted one kiss, Now keep yourself at bay.
Stenches from take-out restaurants and people who should shower more often, Looking up to the sky only when buildings pointed that way, Crack heads and crazies and crooks eyes follow me as I pass, Enter the building,
What makes the hair on your arms rise, your palms sweat, the breath catch in your chest like a wild thing caged? Is it the dark? A fleeting memory of a bed ime story,
Amidst gothic bewitchery and roaring seascape, I delve into the cryptic conscience of primal instinct, shadows sprawled behind, mouth agape, Of trivial human things I could hardly think.
Perching on rocks in the mountains, Looking over the people below. Watching, waiting With the keys in his mouth. The keys to the underworld. Ravens watch for souls to come by.
Dark, my limbs struggle through There is nothing to prove That the emptiness around me Isn't empty Where does it end? Where do I begin?
I look at the mirror and see a face I so hate to see. Take the tape, measure 'bout my waist Compare the scale at my feet. 170, it says, so I will change it.
Get away from me. I don't want you to visit again. Last time nearly killed me. The pain; the crying. The worthlessness.
In the black of night the fear is found, An om'nous glowing Baskervillian Hound.   To fight it is to stay awake and pray, And wait for comfort from the dawn of day.  
Although the tunnel isn't so dark My heart is still empty Soon I will embark on a journey That will take me away, Away from my current darkness It will change my view And lighten my mood
A dark hole called home, but it's not even mine. Not living only existing, no hope, no worth, dealing with what I've been dealt. Keep it all inside, the words inside my mouth. We'll all be the same, lying in the dirt.
I search endlessly into the dark abyss that is my heart. Yearning for that one light, but as I run, grasping for it, the light begins to fade. As I scream, crying out for it to stay... It vanishes. All I see is blackness.
As I lay awake in bed at night My secrets haunt me, devil’s delight Though invisible, they’re plain in sight Stenciled images in black and white They scream and wail, unending fight
I’m afraid, To let people See the tears roll uncontrollably Down my face Each one mimicking the last. And, I don’t want To have to face them And show them that I feel.
Brown Jug
Feeling a depth of despair inescapable, an entangled mindweb is my dwelling and my tongue tastes of bitter longing.
As my face turns cold and dark I felt the darkness swallowing me whole It lifted me up and made me invisible Inside the deep hole, it erases my memories And fills it with its own memory
Love is blind yet it sees the most Are you fearful because you can't run away when you're uncomfortable? The beast in you is the monster in me You tear me to pieces but it sets me free
Death, you that lurk in the shadowy night You come as fast as you go like the wind cold and illusive you fill me with fright The sunlight goes dim for the souls that you lend
What is loneliness? One might ask Is it a black hole? Destroying Annihilating Everything around it Leaving nothing behind
The feeling of my mind carrying the burden of all of the weight of the cement bricks hanging unwantedly from my eyelashes.
On the dark cliffs full of shadows The river is rushing, the water crashing Headed towards the inevitable fall
Can you bring light to the dark? The darkness creeps in holding fear and regret, Fear can grab you and take you away from you natural life. Regret will make you seem as if you’re worthless and have no meaning.
Sonnet 1. As I pass out to this strange brand new world I sense my form go cold and freeze to bone A man comes up using a ring of a lord He grabs my arm, but shadow comes and I’m alone
