I tied my wrists
Hung them on a noose
For committing every
Terrible crime in existence
And I figured myself
To be a witch,
So I walked into
The water, and I floated
Above the heavens
I remember
Being dressed,
And I remember
Giving the last
Rites to a
Baby in the
Hospital Room
I remember
What the body
Had looked like
Shivering from
I remember the
Interrogation room,
Cold, damp, and gray.
As I looked around
With cuffs on my
Hands, noticing the
Eye of the camera
Documenting each
Move I would make.
She bathes on a
Roof, with Youth
Shining on her with
His delicate rays
He bathes in her
Breasts, with Youth
Darkening into a
Disappointed eclipse
And the Moon and
Blood is life
But what life does it serve
If all we ever do
Is drunken ourselves with it
We desire to make love
But what love do we make
When we desire to take love
They consume hot dogs
Too
Like you
But they don’t eat dogs
Never, ever
They do not eat cats
They do not eat pets
Never, never.
Immigrants eat wild boars, wild hogs
Overthinking. I overthink the small things.Gosh he might think I’m ugly.
Or he could find someone prettier or way better than me now.
Oh what do I do?
We all use them
To get out of just about everything
Just lies we use because we made to many promises
Didn't leave anytime for just for us
Everyone has used one
X's on a person's lie counter
Most curiousduality ... thisSentimentality.Excessive tenderness,sadness, nostalgiacorrupting modality,distorting reality'ssocial edifice.Brain-crampingcontortion,
I seek truth in your eyes,
find lies I never knew existed
and wonder
how stained is your soul?
I wish to discover purity
caged within you,
to dig deep until I can uncover
the purpose of deception.
Many politicians vociferously lie
Many politicians either hide or omit the truth
Many times, I sit down quietly in a booth
I trusted your words
I liked to beleive you liked me
my stomach feeling like it's twisting inwards
knowing the truth I flee
your trickary came in sets
words entered my head
only to break my neck
I realizeI have real eyesThat see real lies— ~Nearsighted (rule of law) ~Farsighted (rule of lies) ~The "ayes" have it (hidden agenda)

Am I an effigy? A solid statue for you to practice attraction or affliction? Building me up with words and sweet gifts. Reasons to make me forget that the fire is coming. Filling my head with straw that I was convinced you picked just for me.
Stop, stop, stop
Tired of this world
And all the sorrow in it
I am tired of myself even though I’m tied with it
Lips are stitched together
Words are muffled in mouth
This feeling I have now
It's so painful
I can find it in my mind
Your lie and my truth
I hate liars
I like truth
It is painful but whatever
I say what I am thinking
I say who I am

You protect me from the lies that lurks in the shadows of the night

I’m in pain, everyday
and I’m tired of your disbelief.
Tired of the “lies”
that you’re sure you see.
well I’m tired of everyday,
And I’m tired of being me.
just this once, can you listen?
How love lies like sex
In my bed, the liar is you
My sex addiction is and you.
The sun is dark blue
And all I see is in you.
My love, heart. Look!
Pale ace blue.
We ask the question,
Why lie?
Well you see,
We aren’t the only ones being lied to
Everything is lies
He steps on my toes
You could say I have the whoas
When kisses blow
I never met someone like you
You smell of good things
The President Lies
The President lies
A poor person cries
In his hair he has white
As his lies fill the night.
He couldn't stop crying
Prying into his soul, that was now bare.
It felt like he was dying.
His love could only stare.
She could hear the noises of the birds
I live in a world where everybody lies
I live in a world where if you do anything you get despised
I live in a world where I do everything alone
And I've made it this far so look how fast I've grown
Dying in its own name
the act seems to push others away
but to tolerate now means something new.
To tolerate is to discriminate against those you see fit,
I was called many things when I was growing up,
Tripping over wires of
The mental lies
Society tells us to hide
Behind a disguise
It all began when I started to like boys.
But little did I know, those were all decoys.
They told me sweet nothings as if I was one of their toys.
we are given glasses at the beginning of childhood.
we are given infinite supply of:
laughter.
gifts.
smiles.
once the glasses break we are exposed to reality.
infinite supply of:
hatred.
It was 9 o’clock
I was 9
My mom said
“come on girls, I guess it’s time”
She sat us down
and held her breath
and with a big sigh
She looked at us and said
When we tell ourselves to be honest,
how can we know what is true?
What if the judgement we've always known
is a foreign scent to a brother?
If the slip of the tongue
becomes the slip of the mind,
I remember the day you left like it was yesterday.
It played in my mind on repeat
Like some malfunctioning CD
it's been a
Cold November
September-December-July-August-May
This year - more than last
Or maybe less than last
Sometimes it's hard to remember
Recall-commemorate-memorialize
I speak my wishes into existence.
I will no longer go through this self resistance.
I set myself free to fly amongst the sea.
Set ablaze, red hot from the flames.
Thick ashes fill the air and block the lungs of those unlucky enough to find themselves trapped within.
Engulfed by the inferno, unleashing its rage on anything that lives.
They said she would stay,
that she wouldn't feel a thing,
it would be quiet and still,
our goodbye's wouldn't matter
because she'd never know,
that they were said,
Finally,
I'm free from you
free from the pain you give
free from the anger you clinged to me
free from the hate of what you've done to me
free from the fear you've bestowed me
Blank faces on bodies with no control
They walk by without one glance
Bodies without a soul
Anywhere you turn, bodies keep going by
The response that you seek will only just be lies
I have imagined his return
More times than I have missed him
More times than I can breathe
More times than my heart has beat
I can’t inhale the idea
Its scribbled in my head
Dripping with blood
Mess
That's what I am
A girl my past self would not be proud of
Me
A liar
A mess
Constantly depressed
And upset
Cuts on my thighs
My secret sister, softly whisper now
to sweep away old memory and cry
a bouncing chubby babe on momma's lap
stay far away from florid dreams of lies
go through the motions
with no empathy
I lack all emotions
I live like a tree.
rooted in one place,
while others move on.
I don't understand.
or know how to love.
I give it my hardest
never look down
just close your eyes
you know nothing matters.
through the mask of your lies.
are you a robot?
a corpse,
or a shell?
then how do you know?
how to act alive so well?
I wish
You really cared
Not the lies
You constantly
Told me
But the sad thing is
I still believe
Every single one
After all this time
You might think it's silly,
How someone could be afraid of something so simple.
That one single fear is spread throughout all.
We all deny that we fear it, though it lingers.
You already know why I'm here don't you?I would tell you but you are so smart,Probably heard all this before
Here comes the liesThe pattern of my life
It's simply futile treading cold water
Rising past my green ankles
O how its barbarous teeth bite and sting!
My toes are engulfed by sea's spiteful jaws
Veins pierced by blind eyes;
My heart sighs deeply,Heavy and calm,fluttering sleepily.I close my eyes,Gathering them closeI try to pick out the lies.
You told me, "It's over..." again. I know that, Jorge... It's been over.
You know that and I know that.. And of course...
You KNOW I know that.. So who was the validation for?
Don't Speak by Rebecca Olsen
Looking around me I see disarray
And drama tea.
Don’t speak
Put on your phony mask; you make me laugh.
Don’t speak, hold your breath.
your lies are like petals picked from the most poisonous flower
A flower I could sit and listen to for hours
the more I listen the more you pick, and you cast them over me like stars in the darkest sky.
and they land,
To be honest without the honesty; I promise that I’ll keep it clean ,drop some knowledge on how I feel .To be mean or to be real The truth about the love I feel, It's like drowning , to be real it’s like a fetish, dying but I like it.Keep gasping
Hi,
remember me?
We met this summer,
during the heat.
VBS,
Fallen trees.
Multimedia was for me.
We talked a lot,
you're my past bully's brother.
I thought you were real,
I rare met a man with a badge and a gun,
Who deserved to wear it proudly or even at all,
How dare such a man, act with crass and make puns,
When he claims to protect and serve but laughs when you fall,
Thou who weeps their tears to form a river of torment,
Art thou who know they can live through everything.
Thee who shook hands with the demons who lye dormant,
While sinister grins from above emit subtle rings.
Give me a secondJust one secondI need a way out I need a place to breatheI need a place to think
I open the internet
Go to your page
Instantly re-read all the works
You've recently done
Commiting them all to memory
Before you hide
Them all away.
Hide your true feelings
Listen to that voice
There is importance in following
These pages enclose the words my heart holds
If I enacted the things I feel I could heal
Our generation acts as if emotions are no big deal
Living my life filled with lies.
Am I wrong to say that I'm living this life full of lies?
Every day I look up at the sky
Wondering, what is it that signify and dignify
What I'm to do with this life?
She wasn’t trash nor the last slice of cakeon the dinner table at your friends gathering that was never touchedShe was a person shattering through the mirrorbecause all four pieces destroyed theastonishing caring girl she once wasShe’s trying and
“I’m alone and I don’t even care anymore.”
Is what I have convinced myself.
When can I stop pretending?
I'm always smiling.
I am beautiful.
My heart is not broken.
I'm fine.
These are not tears.
I do not miss you,
nor do I need you.
A love lost is no simple subject
Its complexity knows no bounds
Like the infinite space surrounding us all
Adoration is no easy emotion to be rid of for someone
When that someone holds such immense talent
What is a promise really? Words. Words that are twisted and bent. Words you say to someone, whether you mean them or not. These words are dipped in sugar and wrapped in ribbons. They can save lives, or tear them apart.
Evermore a passing thought
I can lie about love
I can lie about lust
But when you lie
I turn to dust
You water me with your reassurance
You made me feel beautiful
You dowzed me with sun
You forgot to water me
You left me to welt
You told me I was pretty
Yet you left me out to welt
I am an impressive liar
I lie everyday
to everyone and everything
I can even convince myself of some of my lies
These lies are pretty convincing
and have made me tell much more
since seeing is believing,
i close my eyes,
when i hear lies,
because seeing is believing...
Honestly, what's the point of this game you play?
When all you'd rather do is lay up and smoke all day
You say over and over to let my guard down but when I finally do
There is a vast array
that one mustn't stay
On this perfectly perplex planet
One used deceit
To get you to believe
to you, who loved me without love:
it has been so long.
three years ago
You were everything.
had not
touched me yet
Don’t tell me pretty lies,
With that look on your face,
Because although you are beautiful
The ugly never fades.
There’s beauty in your eyes,
And there’s strength that’s in your arms,
Dear Lover,
I am a lie.
I did not mean to be something that I internally despise
But I, I can't help it.
You believe that we are as we are born and assigned to either blue or pink.
My love is a lie.
A terrible, wonderful lie,
but a lie all the same.
I have no passion, therefore
I have no love.
So why do I love you?
Lark,
My voice could never reach your ears, but I hope this letter might. Listen for a moment, nothing more. Let my moonlit misery reach your heart and fall into you.
Lies are picked apart
Life is forgotten
Tears fall from empty eyes
And blood drips from unfilled packages
These people know only their lies
She heard his ragged breathing, but there was no one on the other end of the line.
It was another voicemail, just one of the many he sent late last night.
Dear L.B,
Four years ago,
He died-
My sweet loved one.
It was a long, hard death,
Taking months to ware him thin.
Cancer does that to a person.
I was there when
He died.
Cowled in darkness, standing there,
A hooded figure ‘stride his mare,
I stand before him silently,
While chilling breath shears through the air.
“Your time has come, my mortal child.”
I've witnessed your suffering
Your deep pain unparalleled
Open yourself Love's flower
only to wither and die
I've heard your secrets bemoaned
Intimate and euphoric
Here envelopes you a cave
So why'd you do it?
What made you think it was okay to blow it?
We spent so long patching up the things that didn't belong
And now it turns out that it was you all along
I spent so long trying to make things right
I gave you somethingyou probably shouldn’t of receivedI’m weary eyedthinking about how you seemed to lead
charming sweet smiledemeanor honest and truthfulwhy did my heart have to be so couthful?
He says: “You’re beautiful”
And I smile.
He lies to me over and over again,
But I don’t mind anymore.
He’s the only person I know
Who lies just to make me smile.
He kisses my neck,
A single lie says it all,
A love that blossom after all,
Can be ruined by a single roll,
Without your way to overhaul.
I made a mistake and I felt sorry,
But saying sorry adds only weary.
Dear old soul,
You can not see it clear,
But you are my biggest fear.
You have hurt me with your lies,
And all your "Oh babe lets compromise"
You have stolen my sanity for your own sake.
I did it agian
I let myself dream
I let myself get caught up in hope
Just to be pulled down to the ground agian
I got caught up in promises
sneaky like foxes,
were they.
trickster of the night,
what brings you
to my door?
Buy into the aestheticI wouldn't spare you a dime
I am my own butcher
of my edifice
Not a single truth
nor a single lie
Could slow the ebbs in current
Could stop the rising tide
I made a promiselong agoin the riveras we rowed.I said to youI'd never cryand crossed my heartand hoped to die....We got olderas all do,and distance spread
Liar
I have one for him and for her
I have one for them and for us
I have one for you and for me
The lies they come
The lies they go
From here and there
They appear
I am not okay.
This is all a lie.
I'm not who you think.
Let me clarify.
I spend my days
laughing off my pain;
I spent my nights
silencing my brain.
I appear to have
I can feel that it's going to rain
Yet I don't reach for an umbrella
It's the calm before the storm that I really love
Yet our storm has already happened
And now it's the after affects that haunt me
I stand high in society
just like I stand high in stature.
My eyes are golden
like a fierce lion.
I'm also straight-edge.
And vegan.
I lie all the time,
I never understood love
Thought it a lie
A lie like all the others
The ones about
Sticks and Stones
and
Time Heals.
Guess what's what happens
when you don't see love at home
tell me pretty lies, say it to my face, tell me pretty lies, look me in my eyes, lies over lies, like stacking somethimes over somthing
a lie can mean anything like about being someones friend and using them for money
Nothing is free In the grand scheme of things.
But I want your lies tonight.
Broken men have broken courage it's broken
and miss construed.
And I myself am broken.
So let me have your lies
like glue
Your lies are bigger than your fears
The voice of your heart which you can't hear
Secrets were never meant to be kept
But now your soul is trapped
Love is everything,
Love is beautiful,
Love is all, for most.
For the unfortunate, love is gone
I am a victim,
There are many factors to have and hold someone,
These are essaintal,
There are no coherent words escaping your lipsYour eyes pry mine open for me to see and listenYour neck strains agains your collar to choke out the wordsI only wanted to hear what I wanted, versus what you said
I am not Cinderella
But I happen to have her shoe size
A coy smile
And I’ve come to the conclusion
That this
Is enough
For a man
I am not Cinderella
But I happen to have her shoe size
A coy smile
And I’ve come to the conclusion
That this
Is enough
For a man
Sitting on the floor,Our hands interlocked, pulling,My eyes watering,
The anger in his eyes,The suffering, the madness,The gun between us.
From the beginning of our birth,
The world sputters indecipherable wavering vibrations,
To be engraved into every inch of our being,
dissolving into the translucent inferring sphere of our minds,
Created for relationship - that's what they say.
Severely precious.
Always enough.
Captivating.
Longed for.
Loved.
Fought for.
Full of potential.
Bought at the highest price.
Go ahead and talk you shit
see if I will care
all dem bitches spreadin shit that isn't even real
bitch, whore, fake as fuck!
you say I'm the slut??
"I sleep around" and "I'm fucking guys"
Many people want to live the fast life
That desire crumbles when they have to confront judgement's knife
There is no need to live in strife
Just don't go searching for the fast life
Lips that slip,
And the truth doeth strip,
But their lies,
Decides,
And her heartbeat cries,
And the anguished denies,
But Still,
Their wretched lies.
Hearts that fumble,
Life is simply an illusionCircling around worldly reasonA world we see as true memoriamOnly made by our own comprehension
You trust me, don’t you? I love you.
You whispered so sweetly, I believed you, I believed you could free me from my cage.
I loved you, I trusted you.
Our bound was unreliably new
Symptoms of evil
there's no need for a cure.
Just treat what you can profit
and look the other way.
Why is one man raised above another?
Thinking he's better just because of a color
Why does one man think he can choose who belongs?
Thinks he can choose who stays or who gets pushed along
He flasks love pained into ivory for a better safe keeping;
Touching the feathers on her face
Might be the only way of truly seeing the sky.
Still he continues to chase away all marks deepening his happiness
keep your lies, where they shall stay
keep them engraved
while every time you leave i neigh
lies somehow kept you warmed
and somehow left me an ice sculpture for you to break
take this cup away from me
do not force me to believe the lies you feed me
i can see them a mile away.
like the greens on the plate of a child.
they're avoided and taste awful when swallowed
You know what you're doing
You know what you've done
Please here my plea
I can't possibly be the only one
Our country has lied
Our men have died
Yet we hear nothing
Except what they say
“How are you?”
“I’m good”
I know they don’t want to hear what is true
but even if I wanted to say it I don’t know that I could.
So, I stick to the norm
I think the first time I noticed that love tears us apart
Was when I finally experienced it first hand
It can be a beautiful thing with all those newborn feelings and fluttering stomachs
Did you know people have pain they never show.Everyone has a story hidden in their hearts.Some are hurt; others broken and that's not the worst part.The worst part is you never noticed thisor maybe it was just missed in this consuming abyss we cal
I've been having nightmares about you after the sun leaves the sky,
Every. Single. Freaking. Night.
Telling myself that the info received is dry,
would be telling myself a lie: I repeat, my nightmares are not lies.
Oh no!
We are starting to lose support
The building is falling
We never placed any safety plans
Who would’ve thought in the end we ought to care
We are all falling out
She lies,
And she does it so easily,
She hides,
And she does it so sneakily,
She rips apart hearts,
I am going to be swallowed whole,
And there is no fixing it, I know,
I am going to be chewed, eaten alive,
And the scariest part, is that I will survive,
his brain leakeS
Then could barely seek
Although his child spoke
Nothing but a cry for his life
father Don’t leave
Unless you’re forgetting me
The coos of love please me
The Turtle Doves all lined in a row
Hoping that I will show
a sign of love that they so greed.
But I look past their lies
for when I do each one flies.
I stay up all night
You don’t even care
I try and I try
But all you do is roll your eyes
One day you're nice
The next day you're a jerk
I have
Come to find that it is
The saints that lie and
The sinners that speak the truth
More often
Than not.
You spoke sweet symphany and transfered love to my lips.
You showed me the beauty I couldn't see in myself.
You held me through the dark times and told me it would all be okay.
Little did I know you WERE the dark times;
Since I was a little girl,
I dreamed of being a ballerina.
And now look at me:
Caught up in this twisted dance for fools.
I wished for nothing more than to have stage,
Your name tastes sour now when I say it,
And yes I fell in love, I have no shame to admit,
I loved the things you said to me, you always called me amazing,
When assigning colors to things, I think that:
Logic is black against white and white against black.
Sittin on the toilet waitin wishin
My mind would stop this driftin
It goes so far it hits a point of no return and starts flippin
this the type of shit that make you run yo mouth
asking how
but only answers are not given to what you amount
the sound of clout
I need to get over this
why?
cuz i feel like shit
but how do I just forget about this?
it takes precedence in everything i do and everything I say
Wait
Why is this happening?
All the tears counting amounting And no one here comforting
Something so unmistakable
Something so breakable
~ Walls of Flesh ~ Life isn't just what is seen in a pretty picture,But the secrets buried from within the walls of our flesh, and hidden deep inside, Intellectually we stand tall, body held strong by the back bone of our pride, While we battle th
Do not assume I am in love with you.
Do not think that my hands clenching the front of your shirt in tight fists,
are clenched tight with the desire to pull you close.
My hands are holding you because you are here.
She has so many secrets
Beneath those sea blue eyes
So much she's never spoken
So many hidden lies
She wants to show her real self
But in fact she's too afraid
She thinks if she takes off the mask
I know how to smile
I know how to lie
I know how to hide
I know how to act
I know to fake pride
But there are too many things
I keep hidden
Another side you won't see
What's wrong?
Nothing
Everything
How are you?
Good, thank you.
I'm numb, you?
What ya doin?
Writing
The numbness is growing,
Or is it sadness instead,
That will plague me until death.
I feel so alone in this world
Where my darkness descends.
I feel forgotten by my memories
You know I say I'm okay,
And that I will push you away.
But I want you to know what I want.
I want you to hug me,
And tell me that you know I'm not.
And hold me though I'm distraught.
Personas Masks & Facades, surrounded by multitudes, existing in solitude, animated elation & seemingly greener sides a mere mirage!
I ask about love,
And if I can ever find it.
But how can I expect someone to love me,
When I don't love myself?
How can I expect respect,
When I tear myself down?
How can I expect anyone to trust me,
Blood seeps into every corner, every edge and every turn of my nails and for every heartbeat that echoes in my rib cage
voices starts to yell.
I didn't want the truth. I already knew the truth.
Still, I screamed for it, begged for it.
I wanted to be worng. The truth I thought I surely knew.
Still, Time stood paralyzed in it, I was lost in it.
Only so many times a heart can tear
So why did it?
None of you were there
Hard to think that
You'd believe all their lies
It left me tongue tied
So I cried
What is left after we go our separate ways?
Never to see each other again,
When once we saw each other everyday.
after all the words are spoken,
The things that they said that left me broken.
I should've noticed that you never actually cared.
Shame on me.
I should have seen that you hated everyone around you, including myself.
Shame on me.
I’m there for you whenever you need me
…except for when it’s inconvenient.
You’re the most important person in my life
…until someone better shows up.
I’m sorry
…that I got caught.
You murdered me with whisperings
of trusted secrets now in fling.
Our trust you tore with rampant greed
and flaunted my foolish empathy
that marked you as my everything.
Cold world
Icy hatred
Cut bonds
Bitter dawns
Lies and mistakes
And amidst it all
Your chest aches
With the heavy
Very heavy weight
It goes on
And on
The battle
Looking into his eyes, cold, empty full of lies. Who was this man standing before me in this disguise? I've seen that look one too many times. I wish I never was a disappointment. But this man gave up on me a long time ago.
Author's Note: This was a poem written by Catrina Sable, a good friend of mine, and myself. Enjoy!
Two girls that feel alone
Lost in their head
Replaying the battles,
Hearing the never ending screams,
Behind every smile,
You know that there is some sadness.
The sadness that we mask
With forced laughter,
With excuses for the tearing eyes.
It is simply much more simple to smile,
Throughout our childhoods,
we’re taught to trust in the things shoved down our throats by the tv screens,
We don’t know they're lies of course,
It’s all so real to us, it’s all we know,
Her tears fell down her face
As she let her crown fall
He picked her up slowly
Knowing she no longer trusted him
He kept repeating sorry
But all she felt was the vibration of his lies
Here's to me
Some people slam doors,
I slam poems. You judge
the box,
I open it.
Reality
presses against the walls,
I want the alternative.
To the times I've messed up.
You used to feel tied up in string.
And so you spun some of your own.
I've loyally watched you in silence.
And your web of lies has just grown.
That Christmas, I went on Pinterest
My friends try to set me up many boys
And when they do I feel torn inside
Wishing desperatly that they knew the truth
I don't like boys, they aren't my type
I like girls with long legs and pretty smiles
Silver leaves don't fall
They never have to die
They never hurt like I did
When colder weather came on by
Did you ever feel the heartbreak
The bitter sting of pain
O wait! Is it real?
I am looking at the mirror, is it real?
O my life, what did you from me steal?
O wait! Is it real?
My soul, my love, or even myself. What is in me real?
Everyone wants a story with a happy ending,
A sweet end with music and flowers and true love,
Where the guy gets the girl,
Good triumphs over evil,
And everyone’s problems are solved.
Each flower
I picked for you
I wished and wished
For your words to be true
But even the steams
Knew you told lies
Slowly, they shrunk
Without saying their goodbyes
Each flower I picked
To love is to lie, and to lie is to love.
We love our lies, and lie to our love.
They are the same word.
They’re not different words at all.
You ate the moon,
Stealing the light out of my sky
It's dark inside and outside,
And I'm stumbling across the ground
The wind shakes the drees
And the branches reached for me,
"Try, just try
They shout across the void
But false hope,like a lie
It's my mind with which they toyed
But real are the tears in which i cried
Am I more than a mindless droid?
Not to them
"Yes your majesty
You claim
But it turned to trajedy
Not fame
The core left me
Am i to blame?
what's it bring me?
Nothing but shame
But when i called out
Nobody came
"The terror rises higher
The chasm grows wider
The poison of a viper
The eyes of a tiger
The unseen sniper
The victim of a striker
The story of a writer
The click of a lighter
Life
Easygoing. Nurturing. Energetic
the Tinkling of a Laugh
Music to my Ears
like the Leaves of a tall Pine
we are green
Full of
"You want to fit in
But you don't know how
Do you want to be thin
And make your ribs stand out?
Today's standards are
It's okay to cry
And bleed until you die
Make dure you have skinny thighs
People will ask you:
"Why are you so sad all the time?"
People will stare at your wrists and wonder how you did that. How did you get those cuts? "The cat," you will say, "the cat did it."
Assumptious eye
The world is full of conclusions
How much is it truth
I'm just a detail, within a detail's detail
If you saw my mind, would you still be interested in a physique
The shadow of love isn't just found in dark spaces.
It's found in a sea of familiar faces
who stretch out their arms for a quick slap of the hand
I am the cutter
You are the tree.
I love you
And you love me.
I take up my axe
Step out the front door,
I've tried to put the pieces together to figure out why I ever cared.I think I tried fixing you, if I could do that simple task I would feel better.I couldn't fix you and I wound up falling for you.
I lie
to myself
to be
good
to my self.
I'll say:
I'm going
for a 5 minute walk
NOW!
:::::
An hour later
i return
smiling.
:::::
The cookie that cares
The cookie that shares
Oh we must find hope somewhere
But where do you find your hope, which is oh so rare
Do you find it in the air ,
Those squinted eyes with a truthful stare
Just another night Just another night Thinking of you in the star light Without you i cant get through my days So theres no way imma make it tonight I thought of you When i saw a shooting star My wish was you would do the same But its just a shoot
Growing up we were taught about the sticks and stones and broken bones
We were taught that cruel words are just intangible objects that can't really hurt us
That mean words mean nothing
I have to write this down.
I cannot keep this all inside.
I just do not understand why you felt the need to lie.
Never mind, I just heard that you had somehing to hide?
“My look at her. She’s such a good girl.”
“She’s good because she doesn’t act like the other girls in this world”
“She works so hard at everything.”
“Oh the praises her parents must sing”
sometimes
when the night air is still
the world holding its breath
on the edge of a sunny day and gale
I wonder....
what if I had stayed?
what if I hadn't slammed the door and run away?
Yes I'm fine
Yeah I don't even care
Sure I'll be okay
Of course it doesn't matter
I'm definitely over that
I'm honestly fine
Yeah, just tired
Open your eyes
Can’t you see
This world’s lies
Are not the reality
This world is broken
It hurts us all
When we look at the fallen
And hear a freedoms call
There's a reason why we lie.
To ourselves and to others.
It's because we're afraid of what the truth might do.
To ourselves and to others.
My mom is a fighter
She is always saying
"Things will get better"
She laughs and smiles
Calls me pretty and smart
She works hard to give me things
She works hard to feed me
She cleans all day
How could he?
This man who promised her everything, said he loved her, made a vow.
This man who was protected by her, shielded from horrors that he couldn’t handle on his own.
I remeber day one, when you walked in the room without your usual kick to your step. You told me you were moving into the city and away from our nowhere town.
I have so many words that I cannot express
Trying to vomit feelings out of a hole of emptiness
I'm depressed and anxious but I'm just tired I guess
They ask if I'm okay and I just say Yes
Half truths breed
Multiply faster than any truths
Rot the soul
Eat the flesh
Half truths
They sit upon the gossipers tongue
Why did you lie to me
Why did you say you cared
When I knew you didn't
Why did you say I was first
When I knew I wasn't
Why did you act like I was special
You smile at me,
When there's no one better to smile at.
You sit with me,
when there's only one empty seat.
You laugh with me,
when there are no other jokes.
I've never...
Found a treasure...
Like you...
My Treasure,
Sure is hard to here from you
But it's fine I get busy too...
Maybe one day we'll shine
Mostly me since, you're mine...
Our generation. We glorify stupidity and put celebrities on a pedestal because we idolise their lifestyle and wish we could be them.
Your emerald eyes at first set me ablaze,
Your beauty was so delicately sweet.
But I forgot the game the Devil plays
And now I’m but an ember in my heat.
Not viper sending poison through the veins
My heart is empty
The lies they tempt me
Make me believe
It’s just what I need
So I tell myself maybe it’ll work
Smoking Cigs while listening to post-punk.
What a way to die.
Sipping poisonous punch, staring at neon stars,
observing couples symblozing the synths
Did I accept or reject the lie
Honeslty I am not sure
You make me feel...
No wait.
Ever since the first day...
No that's too cliche.
Do you have any idea how nerve-wrecking this is?
For someone like me,
Someone that always knows what to say,
I am the fake smile on my face.
I am the loud girl in the class.
I am the wall between my parents lies
I am the fake smile on my face.
I am the sun that shines everyday for everyone else.
Get out of my face,
I don't want lies laying on me.
It's your story,
tell it how you wanna.
But don't think I'll care,
no one does.
Why?
Because of what you do.
In a dark room,
There are trembling lips,
Her eyes are crystal,
Her lips still perfectly molded.
The smile won't seem to leave.
No matter where she sits,
No matter how much she crumbles,
I'm a liar.
I'm a fake.
I plant a kiss on his lips,
A smile on my face.
I don't care.
I play hard.
Rumors spread
Cut like glass shards.
I'm a liar.
I'm a fake.
I used to wish upon the stars, In hopes one day, It would free me, But as I grew older, so did my dismissal Of hope. As a child, all I wanted was love, All I wanted was to belong. But low and behold, I'm not good enough.
Nothing is more lonely than unwelcome company
Foot-in-the-door
Talk-and-spit
Choke on that flat but fierce foreign language
What are you talking about?
Sounds so cruel and base
Once a disassembled existance,
I was burdened within a gyre of unending thought.
Pressing through time with little resistance,
I did what I pleased, knowing naught
Of the troubles to come,
Buh boom, Buh boom.
Faster and faster her heart began to beat.
Heavy bag under her eyes, the results of no sleep.
Things are bad again
The days are saddening
She sees the happiness she wants to portray.
"So what are you?" A question too familiar
Years ago my mind would halt, frozen
My heart would pound. "I do not know"
I did not want to know.
"Are you Asian?" Your ignorance now shows
Tell me something
Not an empty something
Tell me the truth
Don't tell me to just smile
Or hide it all inside
Cause those things aren't working
I've got no one by my side.
The lies grow like wildfire, spreading everyday.
As soon as i think things settle down,
a thought ignites the flame
Sometimes I hold my head in my hands and sink into the sheets
teeth in a soft lip turned chapped
too much pushing on me from all sides
from nowhere
Behind every filter which drapes imperfections,
Lies you.
Behind every word or argument you feel,
Lies you.
Behid every tear or aching,
Lies you.
But who are you?
Who am I?
Don't twist your words as for me to not understand.
I am young but I am not dumb.
I can see you from your ins to your outs as you tongue tie your words.
Don't waste your time, I see right through you.
"Feminism" is taking over, and wow, they have a point.
Men can do what women do and women do as men.
But is it really feminism...
When we tell a girl that she ought to wear pants
Who am I really without a filter?
Because with it, I feel as if I have shelter
I don`t want them to see the real me
Yet, I feel like I should let it be
1977, Hudson, Walden
My mother is weak
And I cannot stand it
She is feeble, stupid, and plain
Who are you?
And where is the woman that I once knew?
You’re a weakling, darling
A scaredy little ghost
So you found out
Well, how do you feel?
Me?
I feel vulnerable
Anxious
Confused
Judged
Hurt
Angry
Destroyed
This was a side of me that you weren't ready for
Live the make-believe
Congregate falsehoods
Hold them up on a pedestal
For all to see
Lies become truth
We need lies
To bury reality
Live a dream
Without the truth
scream soft
smile bright
blind yourself with loving light
bask and sway for one more day
to hold the scream in tight
blooming flowers
choking weeds
blind the world with loving deeds
Buffeted by the impurtuity of the wise, and thought a fool for false reasons-- who is to say that a man is not himself capable for his own short comings?
I am of flesh
I breath sin
I keep to myself
what lies within
But do express
And I'll give you notice
When storms draw near
I feel their closeness
Love one love all
In all actuality,
We are not flawless
What we believe,
is a broken reality.
We are broken girls,
We are stitched up and sewed up,
With our toes curled.
I hear the lies that seep through your lips
I prepare my ears for your false words
I prepare my feelings for your pitiful efforts to spare them
Do you lie to hide your mistakes?
Tell me what I want to hear.
Give me every reason to believe that you love me just from the waterfalls of your words
So I can drown in them.
You’re looking in his eyes
And you seem to be falling for his lies
You can’t seem to see
The secrets behind that smile
You don’t know
That honesty isn’t his style
I'm a name and a face, who feels out of place
I'm insane in the brain, "Maybe it should be replaced"
Is what they say, when they're are jealous.
When they see whats inside, the fun adventures I have in my mind.
Falling, fading
I'm slowly losing myself
ino the eternal hole of darkness
pain, betrayal, and abandonment
is all I have felt
in my 17 years of life
my smile does not reach my eyes
Why are lies so easy to tell, and truth so hard to say
Lies just give you more to remember and eventually you give it away
Do people even realize the damage lies can do?
the girl they see
quiet,
shy,
sweet,
strong,
the girl I am.
loud,
outgoing,
smart,
deep,
I am both girls unfiltered.
and im completely happy,
Without a filter I'm just a kid,
Without a father and a mother in prison,
I've seen some things that you'll never see,
Things that make small children scream,
But what you can never see,
Its a feeling not a knowing.
Curiosity and randomness lead me to you.
I feel so blue.
We are so clueless.
Where to begin and where to end.
The key to mystery is balance;
Though, I suppose, it doesn't really matter if you're not trying.
Sometimes the silence doesn't hang quite as heavy as it used to
Every aspect of my life has
Always been a splintered crack
between myself and who I wanted to portray.
It wasn't my fault.
I just wasn't good enough.
I was not satisfied with who I was,
I have two faces but I only show one
No one knows my true face, none
All you can see is my mask
Nobody even cares to ask
Who cares?
My real face shows my trepidation
When I had no place to go, your door was closed.
And when I knocked, I heard it lock.
So I let the rain cover me, and as it flows with my tears,
I know that I will soon have to face the mirrors.
Fidgeting, sweating palms, racing heart-
Please relax I say; my insecurities can rip me apart.
I'm so scared, on the fringe of fright.
This disorder makes me believe that I'm not at all bright.
I was handed a mask at a very young age.
Society offered, and like the rest I took the bait.
Fiting into my jeans is almost as difficult as fiting in with everyone else.
The fear of never being wanted is almost as scary as my fear of being "that girl."
Little ones, afraid of the dark,
know more than we do.
They know secrets are in the dark,
Faith is never an easy entity to face.
What does it look like?
Does it have two eyes?
No eyes at all?
Faith is walking when everyone tells you there’s no ground.
If I were less afraid I would have turned myself inside out and shown you even the darkest sublevels of my conscience.
I would have scooped out my thoughts
Like the innards of a pumpkin
The doors open for shows at seven,
And prohibit customers past eleven.
When the time comes and the clock strikes the hour,
Hundreds of people charge into the tower.
Swarms of customers all rushing about,
I remain here.
I'm frozen in place,
No one is here to warm me.
No one is here to wipe my tears.
No one is here to hear my screams.
No one is here to chase away my fears
I stand and I spin,
No, I don't spin, I only stand;
Glimpses of joy tease- then dance away
Spinning, whirling, leaving me behind.
I can't get off, I can only wait.
Wait and hope it will all end.
Once a lie, always a lie though you may not grieve.
It may fade and drain away, but will never truely leave.
And true the world might forget, but there are those who know.
While your young, your told to live a certian way
People teach you how to talk, what to say
Everyone looks, judgement in there eyes.
People talk, but all you hear are lies.
Noone can tell you who you are,
A facade I hide behindBehind a happy personIs a voice wish to speakA way for to let it outIs through a writing verse
Flowers bloom red across the crimson water flow
A ripped and torn dream hidden behind hallucinations
Long sleeves in mid summer.
Always trying to trick the others.
Covering up what The Cat has done,
man many people are dumb.
Walkin around in a daze.
Putting fake smiles on your face,
He is winter.
He is the excitement that takes over.
His eyes are snowflakes, drifting in the wind, carpeting the land in a cloak of white.
His lips are the colors only shown by the setting sun, colors of pink.
Truth, or lies?
Beautiful eyes
Hide the pain.
Scars and marks,
In the dark
Is her world.
Dripping red,
The girl is dead,
And yet she cries.
The belief of who you were is as irrelevant as crayons to dog food,
I am trying so hard not to say soft thingsbecause I am strongand distantand do not have tender feelings.Because you hurt me and I,I am far too powerful for that.
Behind my mask I hide
far from eveythig
just out of judgement's reach
just out of presure's sight
jus out of pain's grasp
just out of stress's glimps
Behid my mask I hide
keeping hiddden
Round 1:
You ask your parents how they feel about gay people
"trash" "freaks" "sinners"
I envy those that shine in the light,
Those who aren't afraid to fight
for who they are.
For every time I think it's time,
For every time I say that this moment, this one is surely mine,
I’m scared to tell you what’s going to happen,
‘Cause I’m not ready to let you go,
I’m scared if I tell you,
We might never grow,
I’m scared to say “I love you”,
‘Cause it ain’t so,
We are blinded by lies
by what we wanna see
because when you open your eyes
its nothing but chaos corrupting around you
so you close them tight
hope and pray throughout the night
See the smile,
she presents so sweetly to the world.
The gleaming of her happiness
an etched mask to those strangers.
No one can tell
the wounds she bears
beneath her covered skin,
My smile will not fade away;
No, not until my dying day.
I must stay strong
For those who do not care.
My heart is surely breaking,
A wineglass dropped on the ground
Without a second thought.
Wolves in sheep wool.they climb over walls and breach the inner sanctum.infiltration of the darkest depth in your ocean,your seas of troubles are seen and screened.the poor souls don’t even know.
Nothing I do can stop it
Nothing
I look in the mirror
I smile
I see what everyone else sees
But the mirror lies
Beneath it all
That's where the demons lurk
Help me
I'm caught in this thing
Called life
They tell you to live, but they
Mean die
They tell you to love, but they
Mean lose
Take them off!
Take them off!
Show us who you really are!
Let us see
Thy true face
Thy true fears
And thy true hates
There's a nod from a performer
A smirk from a magician
Don't think you can ignore me
Walk out of the door and out of my life
I looked up to you and thought of you twice
To me you were everything, the reason I lived and breathed
The beautiful shine of your golden skin---It nearly blinds my eyes.Surrounded by a crown of golden leaves,
I have a past, we all do
Some of it is lies, other things are true
My grandma said I lied about rape
My aunt said I was fake
My church said I was a mistake
My friends said they needed a break
This poem is directed towards my eldest brother... who has been on a heavy drug addiction for the past year. He has a 5 year old son who he barely sees and has got himself in a lot of trouble with the law.
Hour Glass of Tracks
Riddling lines of pointless shriftIs rare and deadly Trojan giftWhich cleaves the sense and spawns distressOffensive in its ugliness.
This cloak that drapes off my shoulders,
It hides the truth that lies beneath.
A power and strength that could move boulders,
Is the same that tied an anchor around my feet.
I have a mask that hides the true me,
Today is never ending--
the start of a new beginning.
A story of characters without a home,
A story of passionate love and burning hate,
and fighting which always makes us feel great
Pay no attention to the girl behind the curtainCuz boy I am certainYou'll have a little more interest in the one who's out flirtin'That twitch of her hips, you want her so bad it's hurtin'
People tell you to speak your mind, but not to be rude.
They do not want to hear lies, but say they want the truth.
Honesty comes off as being rude, the truth comes off as being too blunt.
Beating. Thumping.
The sound of a heavy heart,
GUILTY!
Running. Sprinting.
Being chased by your consicence,
SHAMEFUL!
Hiding. Sneaking.
Conceling the disgrace.
LYING!
Of course I am fine, why do you ask?
Oh do not mind this, it is just my mask.
Always plastered with a smile with no woe nor a care.
I feel as if I am alone in this world, it is something I cannot bare.
Regret and Anger
tries to take hold.
Pain and Sorrow
leaves me cold.
I feel it deep within,
a storm breaking thru,
trying to take control,
of how I hate you.
A heart you were given
Slam.
I hear the sound of the door closing, turn to see the car driving away, and with it, everything i've ever known in life.
Comfort, gone.
Security, gone.
I just have to realize,
you have no ratoinal thought.
I just have to realize,
you've learned what you've been taught.
Your lies flow out of your mouth,
like water in a stream.
Anything to get my money they did,
I guess telling the truth is forbid,
This place was clean the last time I was here,
Now I look around and say “Oh dear,”
I thought there was 60% diversity in this place,
The old and the brokenAre out-spoken though never heardNo one sees they're out-goin'When they're un-brokenAre they old and broken?Or are they young and miss-spoken?
Looks reared you in, but my personality didn't.Except that personality just isn't.At least not entirely.You walked by discreetly.Did you even notice me ?
I am the forbidden fruit, he told me
If I was not forbidden, I’d be all his
I tempt him, he tempts me
We have a pattern of love and hate
Forget Me Not
*controversial*
Morning sickness brings the blues,
Monthly cycle is overdue.
She was drunk that night,
Flinging morals in the wind,
I'm the man in the sky
I watch you with my hazy eyes
Take my hand I'll set you free
Step into my reality
Here there ain't a ceilin' with walls
The spider spins
it's silky web.
Small silvery strands sparkle
and something stuck struggles.
Like my life,
full of lies.
Little lies linking along,
leaving very little truth.
You can find me
where the
dust sparkles
in the window
from the sun's rays
You can find me-
there
I'll be hiding
beside the curtain
blending into the wall
Wake up! The sound of your mother yelling your name as you smell the fresh coffee being cooked. So you while you’re getting dressed and doing your making up listening to music you hear beep beep a sound I set on as an alarm for Facebook.
Woke up this morning the sky was clear
I was thinking about my whole high school career
Why am I nor happy?
I have such a big porch for me alone.
I have the life that no one else owns.
I have gold that no other holds.
Why am I not happy?
I have all I want,
But something stands.
A short Poem by Stephen Strausbaugh
Lie, Steal, Blame, Kill
You look down at us atop of your hill
Writing bills, but seeking thrills
Only you have a license to kill
Only you have a license to kill
One of my old poems:
Sometimes I feel like a puppet,
Pulled along in another's hands
Obeying the orders to do this or do that
My every rebellion already orchestrated
We are nothing.
They say we’re free.
It’s just an illusion.
Others believe it, but I refuse.
These standards, these rules
I can't see a world with out you ,
But then again I can't see
I'm blinded by your love, my insecurities.
In my feelings
I want to scream.
I want to cry.
I want to yell at the sky.
It hurts.
Why does it hurt me
and not affect you?
Like a puppet with ripped strings I hang limp from a tree that is rooted in bad seeds. I have no direction and no recollection of anything but the present. Everything else is blocked out and I always want to shout.
Here I am, the real me,
I promise myself not to say these things,
To keep to my old pretty lies, but the fire of our love burns inside,
So many thoughts running through her mind...
So many questions, assumptions of why all of this happened
Her heart can only take so much pain, yet she doesn’t understand why she can kill it already.
Is it because me and my gurl dropped out
Our sophmore year of high school, for
becoming 16 yr. parents?
Was it us taking that risk?
Or was it life we decided to miss?
I am living but I'm not alive
Everynight I let myslef cry
I go to sleep hoping to never wake up
I am living but I'm not alive
I've gone through things and I wish I died
I wake up but I'm still dead
chained to stone, to these pillars i know as home
withered by time and awaiting to claim what's mine
angered by the visions of shame.
unleash the beast that resides inside
undo my chains that i carry in my mind
I must defeat this horrible pain
because in my heart it is a stain
I despise this whole it gets wider and wider
my veins spring out, like the legs of a spider
it sucks in all the truth in my heart
If Winter only taught me one thing,
it would be how to not respond
when life calls for me.
Winter told me to ignore it,
when my best friend called
and pleaded for my involvement
I thought he was intangible
He's fragile
He is frozen in time
He's scared
He is now going slow motion in reverse
His words are misguided
They tear everything apart
He battles his secrets
Because it is vulnerable, an option, you might see.
Wide out in the open, entire visibility.
Kindness, is it only but a word?
A person who hears people's needs.
But oddly, sadly, is never ever heard.
You try your best to see the light.
In a blinding sheet of darkness.
You ignore and try to forget.
My images were distorted,
a played out fiction book of torn pages and darken memories.
A scripture that I will never forget,
I’ve lied to myself.
Twisted words and flipped meanings inside out
Stared at NO long enough until
I squeezed the yes out of it
Like the end of drink
In the sticky heat of the summer
"Why must love feel like a heart attack"?Some may sayCausing our hearts to sputter one final beatThump, thump, shhDifferent types of love lause different types
As I lie here on my bed, I can't help but think of all the lies I've been fed.
What I Hate
Do you know what I absolutely hate?
What makes me so sick to my stomach?
And my skin crawl with repulsion?
I’ll tell you what I hate:
I am holding a bladeUp to my wrist In the knife all I see is lies upon liesBut then I see youAnd your little blue eyesYou say put the kinfe down AuntieOr I will crySo I put down the kinfe
I down another bottle
To wash the pain away.
For a brief moment,
I feel a bit okay.
You sit upon that throne of lies,
Yet everyone believes not me,
But you.
When you speak,
I close my eyes,
Holding on to the truth.
The words you say are not really mine,
Away, away
I will not come back,
remind me, yes
remind me of sin and wrong
remind me of why red so satisfied.
Confuse you?
That is the point.
Give me a hero and I'll show you his sin.
Show me a victor,
I'll explain why he can't win.
Present a success,
And I'll unveil the flaws.
Show me innocence,
And you'll be scratched with hidden claws.
From dawn 'till dusk I am enclosed,
In my own world yet so exposed.
Passing by, a mere obsever,
Using distance as my life's preserver.
Close enough to touch, too far away to see,
Mother,
Now please do tell me,
my tongue was meant for words,
was it not?
Remember when you said,
"Do not lie or say dirty words,
or I shall wash your tongue with soap"
I was young then.
Leave me now And come no more. Many like you Have come before. They smile sweetly While telling lies, The devil hides Behind your beautiful eyes. You are not the first Who has tried. Many times now, I have cried.
The girl screams wolf,
And we all arrive,
To find no dog but her reprise.
She lazily asks for a cup of tea,
Ungrateful in our company.
So we turn away to our own lives,
Warning her not to spout lies.
Don’t mind me
I’m really ok
I just don’t want to be awake
All I ever do is make mistakes
Don’t find me
I’m running away
I just don’t want to be
Someone like me
I’m tired,
So tired.
Someone please let me sleep.
I’ve been wandering for so long,
Traveling through this vast desert.
There’s nothing in sight
No oasis like they claim,
Honesty is all I would change
maybe if we all could be genuine love would not be in vain
if I could change the roles of honesty
maybe a liar would feel the victims pain
He lied to me that's why I feel this way
It's completely natural to me,
Like I've done it all my life,
It helps to take away the pain,
The way they treat me is wrong,
It helps to take it all away,
It helps relieve the stress,
A night to remember, a spin and a glideas we make our way through the aisle.I was too young when you left my side.
Love a shadow
Gray in vigor
Gold in prime
Gone as all
Given in gifts
An endless friend
The infinite love
Till death do us part
The raging war
Of the head and of the heart
Words never spoken
Feelings never sought
The build up of this dangerous thought
Hollow Ghost of Red Heart
Ominous with frantic rage
Yet vindictive under the Vail
Luminous as starlight nights
Steel rafts of ocean hands
Pearl into icy depths
Piercing through its smooth skin
Breaking the shocks of energy
Through thick blue
Breathing Just Fine
Held under water
Gazing upon him
We fight for a way out
The sea blue runs black
in this world filled with hate
you have managed to take the bait
heaven in
and out of hell
some love is gentle
and filled with sweets
while others are brutal
that threaten to beat
Humans are such liars.
We talk about how much we want honesty among us, but then we turn around and lie to the very same people we told that to.
Homeless individuals sleep with dreams of what they used to be
Now they have moved on leaving the new generation drowning sea to sea
No education, no temptation, to get a dream fulfilled
kiss my petal-pink lips
hold My tinny hands
stroke my porcelain cheek
if you only knew
not every doll is a sweet little Girl ;
One: The one lie that everyone gets fed from the moment they are born to the moment they die is the one th
It's strange. I feel so detatched from this.From these people. A part of me is afraid that I don't belong here.Like I'm not one of them. I feel...a lot. But somedays....
It is strange that I had never touched a cigarette until I had remembered how the taste would linger in my mouth after I had kissed you?
Look.
Breath catching
Ducking behind corners
Hiding from something
Too much to admit
There.
Its not your fault, not a bit
But I'm so scared
I don't sound like myself
They Offer No Absolution
If we’re born sick
But we love it,
Will we ever change?
If we wanted to confess our sins
Without fear
Of them sharpening knives
To cause pain
I try to find myself, but I've been lost for forever. It's like I'm going in a circle so you'd think I'd know better. I'm somewhat lost in a trance, I can't find myself. Took 34 pills disregarding my own health.
The strength of those
who know of how
you cannot harm
anyone for long.
How can such a
short trial, be of
much harm? When they
will know how you
can never last
for long. Life is
Eyes swelled up with tears,
As i said goodbye to YESTERDAY.
The promise of romance drowning in the ocean of my heart.
"I'm fine."
The words ring out
I wish to believe it
Yet in the face that spoke
I see only doubt
Why be fine when you're not?
Be sad and I'll cry too
i'm sixteen years old, and it's nothing like they said it would bethere are no wild parties and fun hangouts,only excuses for people to get fucked up and shit-faced.
Fear hinders our progress towards better times
where we need not be alone,
it suffocates lights and welcomes darkness
into our mind's own home.
Fear grips the souls of men
in a way no human can,
Love is rich
sometimes its a bitch
or a witch
that cast a spell that makes you twitch
untill you cant take another inch , away
from the girl that first said hey
that would later on say
am i okay?yes, im fine.
inside me, the demons are screaming and tearing at my soul
but im fine.
feelings of hopelessness and fear and anxiety are building up like briks
but im fine
God’s tears rain from the heavens as the innocent confess
Others are surrounded by the Devil’s hatred
Blanketing them in villainous greed
A tyranny that little can escape
Why is it that we allow ourselves to suffer?
Day by Day we walk around,
fake smiles plasered to our faces,
bracelets to hide the cuts,
makeup to hide the bruises.
Acceptance is what I choose to need.
To get away from my misery.
I trust those who hurt and love those who use me.
Acceptance is what I choose to need.
To get away from my misery.
I trust those who hurt and love those who use me.
I frequently think of why i belong here, yes on Earth. What is the purpose of our lives?
It takes a while for something to grow, but once it does it begins to blossom, nothing will get in the way of stopping it.
All is a fake disguise
And I have no allies
Alone for all my life
Stuck in an eternal strife
The world wears a mask
To remove it is my task
Don't try to stop me
I hope you will see
A young maiden desperate for desire
A cruel pathological liar
Deep down she's lost and afraid
Becoming the monster her dad made
No where to look no where to turn
Where's the love this young girl yearns?
I look up to cry the tears of the sky,
The gray pasture covering me in its familiar cold
I am crushed under the weight.
People would say to me, Stand up, you’re fine.
And I would try, Oh how I would try.
As it arrives everything diesThe leaves change colorNature's beauty diesBut one true beauty remains in galore
Pain like Fire
This pain I’m feeling,
is unlike anything I’ve ever felt,
Lost,
Confused,
Heart broken,
it’s an everlasting nightmare.
This pain I’m feeling,
Darkness floods you veins,Your eyes have become reflecting pools,Black like dreamless sleep,You ache for the affection,
I want to fall into you,Like butter on warm toast,Snow on a summer day,The fragrance of a slow cooked roast.
FOOD FOOD FOOD
Every ravenous soul cries for
What is food at all?
Is it Satisfaction...?
Or a remedy to survival...think about it -
I see food as Cruel, Enemy, Evil, Vicious...
When love gets a little easier
Maybe I'll be able to say hello and not have my eyes rain
Maybe the tulips will finally bloom properly and maybe the dandelions will finally blow in my direction and cover my face with their wishes
One step out the door
Come back!!!
I can't do that, I've gone to far. I've stepped into deeper waters and I'm drowing. I've dug my own grave and the world is slowly closing in.
You can't do this!
I live to see the sunshine, brighter than the green on pine
I live to see the rain, gloomy and forever a pain
I live to eat, stuffing my mouth whereever I find a seat
I live to drink, only to end up in the kitchen sink
Heartbreak is not something that is easy to take
For it clouds the mind and causes the esteem to effortlessly break
Hours upon hours are spent of you picking up the pieces
Lies surround me in a thick fog
Suffocating my words
Clouding my thoughts
Things of true value can't be bought
But materialism and dishonesty is all we've been taught
They put our souls on the stand
And it's funny,
How the pot's always calling the kettle black,
Funny the hypocrisy,
When you say,
"I'd never do something like that,"
Funny how similar
So many seemingly separate people can be,
You fill me up
Then drink
I am your partner during dark nights
And your enemy
Once you've had your fun
And had your fill
You leave me on the table
And go to enjoy life's thrill
A pained existence
Fear creates wounds
Fear is agony
Fear has become pain
Pain that is as intense as a woman screaming into the night
Because fear is the room she has been trapped in.
I want you to say no, I want you to reject me.I want you to say yes, I want you to want me.
Anything but this, stuck blinded in the midst,no sense of direction,struggling to contain my affection.
If tomorrow I didn’t wake up and I died,how many of you would cry?How many of you would sigh,and just move on with your lives?No pain trapped inside,just another body without life.No priest to confide,
I am sensitive,
More delicate than
a Bleeding Heart.
Ice cold criticism
is my demise.
I resort to
witty remarks before
lashing out as
my last defense.
It all started with the right hook
A shock thru the spine
Redirecting the foot
Trembling in the knee
and signaling for the left hook
1,2,3,4
Remembering the days her eyes was a beacon of hope
I never really feared anything. But
As I sit here in my room filled with fear, I feel all the screams and anger from downstairs
They shoot up my spine and over-take my body
I sit alone,trying to talk to you,but you dont want to talk,you never do,you only have one thing on your mind,its always that one thing.Dont you care about me?What about me?
a stage, one lovely place,
act to your heart's content and there below crowds of people
all await your very act.in life the truth scares me but
He is gone forever, the boy named Alex.
The seraphs come down beside me singing really taunting, " He who you call brother is with us."
This damaged girl coming from a broken home, no hope left leaving it all torn,
Not a single soul for help in times of discord,
What happened to all the love and care from her supposed friends?
She always comes & goes.
It is better to leave, before she is left.
She always comes & goes.
She leaves before she is left.
The friends she makes,
Are kept for years –
We kissed, I felt her lips connect as if we were one, and yet I wanted more. I could not resist her, her looks of pleasant torture, and warmest of the body. Long ago, her beauty vanished, and left there was nothing but hate.
I live in a time
Where people have many walls.
I also live in a time
Where people desire to overcome these walls
In any way possible.
They have walls of anger and spite
Inside their body and mind.
the waves in the ocean flow
through the open holes in my heart
hoping someday this time i can finally see the end of this shining light
Because if you are to love me
there are some things you must know
for one i am broken
and hurt
and my view on love is blown
I have to start from scratch
and learn how to love again
There sat a boy in class with me,
with red Beats that hung around his neck,
he'd never take notes in class,
To him, what have I done
was it worth it in the end
are the joys of love really real?
or is true love just pretend
to love him as my own is sin
to leave him would kill me
i shelter what i feel within
And as the days go by you rub away at me and peel back the pages of my skin
Soon I shall be raw,sore and broken
And as the days go by you rub away at me and peel back the pages of my skin
Soon I shall be raw,sore and broken
Love is like a drug once you've taste it
Searching for that same feeling
But I forgot to pace it
A dream divineIs only a nightmareIf a thought is to blind beyondMeasures I often question such a beautifulCurse of a dreamIs it only a reality that we often wonder?
In the midst of dayThere I sit in my roomAnd stare awayMy water is tainted and condensendingAnd my mind slowly blows smoke ringsI watch the stoney trees
I remember that day when we first met
you spoke naught and only looked at me and shyly smiled
but
that day I somehow knew that we were meant to be
your brown eyes ripped through mine heart and saw me
I've done everything you ever told me to do:
Followed all of your rules, even the ones that could easily be argued as ridiculous;
Gotten straight A's;
Took the ACT, scored high on it;
You always thought, your kids will never know the feeling of addiction, but I went to re
The Masks We Wear
“Masks for sale! Masks for sale!”
The man of many masks did hail.
“Masks for parties, masks for tricks,
Masks of boars and masks of chicks.
And if too old for masks you feel,
My bear is with me nightly, as i fall into smooth slumber.
Sometimes i dream, most times i don't, but its there through it all,
Its there when you aren't. My only friend, confidante.
I look in the mirror
My smile fades
Disgust overwhelms me
As I go through each day
Why am I living?
Why am I here?
Just to disappoint
Living with fear
I'm never good enough
Ooh farewell
Ooh farewell
Sorry to see you go
My hopes where
For you to come home again
Praying for the sun to shine on you
Never to be rained on by falling bullets or falling bombs
Last year I sketched our dream home
with two balconies and a koi pond in the backyard.
It was simple pen and paper
On a cold, winter morning I ran out to see my dad,
My small body stuffed into a warm, winter coat,
My ignorant mind that was filled with lies,
Yet I maintained a smile that melted the snow,
A rose, but one, none other rose did I have,
A rose, one rose, and this was a wondrous creation,
One rose a rose that brightened earth and sky,
One rose, my rose, that sweetened my breath and air,
Love is a very powerful force that can motivate us, makes us new, teach us things, and give us emotional comfort.
I was not born mean
I was born into treachery
Riding on glaring black wheels
My heart's left black eye caught feelings
Who knew a handsome fellow
Had inherited Jack the Ripper's thirst
Sometimes life isn’t easy.Sometimes life isn’t fair.Sometimes your dream is givento someone who is “better”.Society’s wrecked, humanity too.Trusting yourself; seems the only thing to do.
In a swarm of scattered souls
Lie traveling whispers in our ears
And yet the decent one stands alone over there
And even from afar the whispers were clear
Whispers shouldn’t be that loud
I sit in psychology,
A class I should be interested in, but instead worry
About the little problems that I have that do not reflect any other person
Except myself.
This sounds normal.
The case of a bladeIn the darkest placeI clutched it through fabricThrough every feelingA portal to a memory long goneThe blood on your handsThe smile on your lipsf̶e̶l̶t̶ feels so good
Ideas born out of 2amGrown to wrap around my eyesPull them downThey will not shutConstant spike of ideasIn my brain, it hurtsThe throb of thought against boneI am not destined for sleep
I don’t know where I stand
I’m tired or lying to these people
I’m tired of opening up to them
I know they don’t believe me
I don’t have anyone to lean on
I had yearned for so long
I had waited for too long
I died inside for too long
no love no compaasion
no warm embrace
not even a tender touch
quiet nights
desperate mornings
We've All had that kin of love,
where we fall so hard
we've all fallen for the one person who can
do no wrong
to us
we've all gotten to that point
We've all been wraped up in
the phenomena of

as she sped down the interstate going 90
she saw things
she saw her father hanging off a power line
a tv cord permitting him death
she would see the cord murdering him
In the silent waves she saw herself,
Lost and confused, she cried for help.
Through the screams and moans that came tumbling out,
The distorted images that filled her with doubt.
No longer could she stand alone,
Therea are days
When I look around,
I see other girls
Walking around
And I just break down,
Like I can't do this any more,
And I start to wonder
if it'll ever get better.
Alex Noe, I love you
You make me feel very special
But you have to know
I won when I first met you
Only been a month
It feels right to say “I love…”
I believe in us
I know we can make this work
I need times like this--to myselfTo cook up formulas with words that explode, sending minds into the unknown.Hidden messages through similes and metaphors that'll make the greatest fold
I don't know what to think
You say one thing and do another
Why me?
I'm scared
I'm lost
You took all my energy from me
Who are you?
What have you become?
Thought we were friends
It feels like I been here before I feel familar with this scene these words theses actions I feel like its on everyones minds thoughts lips tounge, its been in every corner of the world this feel to familar yet it has no shape, nor organic matte
I'm sorry.I'm sorry I had the courage to stand up and say this is who I amThis is who I want to beTo let them be equivalentI'm sorry I had the gall toNot need a man to tell me who to be
Dancing Shadows
By Laquanna Allen
In today’s society
There is only one thing you can be
The bully or the bullied
Round and round
I'm nothing special
Not beautiful
Not talented
Not funny
Not smart
I'm just an average girl
Destined for an average life
For meaningless experiences
And dismal opportunities
I feel like
I'm walking upstream
through a current strong enough
to pull me under again.
I
Just
Want
To know
If I died today
Who would cry tonight
Who would miss school tomorrow
Who would regret their actios next week
Would anyone stand tall like a mountain for next year
I grew tired of sleepless nights-
Contemplating life while simultaneously
Managing to not participate in it.
Well here I am again
left broken and confused.
They hurt me
and I feel used.
I used to be strong
till they broke me apart.
I used to have life
but now they broke my heart.
Believe me,
I am aware
Of every single flaw
Or imperfection
That creates my
Monstrous existence.
So who are you
To come and blame
My imperfections
For making me
I came home and found you in your usual spot, hiding from the world.
Dark despide the sun being awake.
Your eyes are open yet nobodys home, you stare straight ahead without following my movements.
Today I'll wear my happy mask, because I'm feeling sad
And I've worn out my tired mask, from the weeks that I've been mad
At my friend who wears his loving mask, when he looks at her,
i
i w
i wa
i wan
i want
i want t
i want to
i want to b
i want to be
i want to be f
i want to be fr
i want to be fre
i want to be free.
Where are you going,
I can't find you,
where are you going,
I just trusted you,
Where are you going tonight.
I just wanted you,
and I just needed you,
I am waiting, I am alone,
My life is like a bad fairytale.
Dragons lurk in every cave,
ogres in every shadow.
When I get to the place where the castle should be,
what do I see?
The evasive palace has escaped me.
Powerful word:
Ignored. Emotionally and physically.
Why does the world have the mentality of every man for itself?
Feeling lonely and unimportant.
Both in home and the world.
There are times where youll do anything for someone you love
you will give up you "hoes"
you will give up being a good girl to be bad girl
You will ruin your pink lips for weed
I want to love you for forever and a day.
Til the sun comes down, and its time to lay.
Til, the wind blows and the seas roar.
I wanna be with you, but dont forget theres one more.
My blood ran cold as he looks at me,i shiver as his breeze past me, i look apon his face and i worry... why is this i wonder?
Hey Mr. Principal,
Hey Mr. Smith,
I hope you sit comfortably –
On your plush office plinth,
With all your private accolades –
That no one could care about,
To the varsity trophies –
This is the blood i bleed
There is a reason for this pain
Some people just never understand
The pain i go through is too much to withstand
This pain i go through is worse than any other
--How much pain
How many tears
How many times must I say the word LOVE
How many broken hearts must I suffer from
How many times do I have to stare at a blank response
How many lies
To think you would care
To think you would understand
but I liked believing you did
The sweet oblivion was better
than facing the cold hard truth
Turns out you never knew me
Eventually
Eventually you’ll run out of tears,
Eventually you’ll run out of fears.
Eventually you’ll run out of sadness,
Love
a 4 letter word, though it holds so much gravity
yet we throw it around like something thats only worth a penny
Hate
A clear-cut diamond ring,
Fall, winter, summer, spring.
Seasons change,
The birds still sing.
Those lovely hazel eyes,
Lies, disguise,
Another surprise.
Who would have thought,
There's nothing i wouldnt do just to see you again
All the words i've said have no meaning
With this mess i've made i must do all the cleaning
I told you i loved you
But you left me with no clue
Let's pop some pills, Fall in loveCut our wrists and spill our bloodDrink come Gin, let's die tonightCome on Demons, help end our lifeLet us bleed, for what we see
Let's pop some pills, Fall in loveCut our wrists and spill our bloodDrink come Gin, let's die tonightCome on Demons, help end our lifeLet us bleed, for what we see
I know this girl Who has a broken heart Who wants to cry Who wants to die Who wears a fake smile But has a friend that tells her "Stay strong , everything will be okay." She wants to scream She wants to shot But wont....... She remembers all
All the cliques laugh away
While I sit and watch
Wondering where my friends are
Wondering where you are
Wondering why distance keeps us apart.
The teachers will lecture
Things are not what they seem,
Things are not what they appear
In a world where people judge you on something as simple as what you wear.
No things are what they appear
Things are not what they seem
I am scared of
this snake that
sucks the life out
of me.
I am scared of
this butterfly that
plagues my dreams
at night.
I am scared of
this spider that
Every day's a waste.
I'd rather have just died.
I try to get though it.
Believe me, I've tried.
I am so tired of feeling
Like no one gives a shit
Not my friends or parents.
Im so done with it.
I always said it couldn't happen to me I always said my heart cant be broken I always said I would never cry I always said I don't fight for boys I always said NO FATHERS ALLOWED I always said I don't believe in love But now I say that you change
Teacher, teacher
I'm not sure if you know
My mind may be open
But my heart remains closed
Teacher, teacher
Please, just hear me out
There are so many things
Above me I see an open sky,
Blue as can be.
No restrictions, unlimited beauty.
Nothing can compare.
To my left I see black.
I see fear, I see death.
I see the darkness,
I don’t understand
Why so many kids
Feel this way
About living this life
We’ve never had to
Pay a bill
Love is hallow as a cave
Led by its beauty, a great quest
Love is a path for the brave
It will never settle for less.
Little girl why are you crying
Is it cause everyone keeps lying
Saying its gonna get better
But your face just keeps getting wetter
Little girl why are you so sad
and you sat complacently
back arched, head tilted
i slinked behind you, grazed you with my fingers
i could see the trichomes on the nape of your neck stand up in uniform silence; electrocuted soldiers
Love is something I don't understand.Hell, I don't think anyone does.When you say "I love you."And they say "Don't."How do you expect me to changeThe way I feel about youIt's not much of a choice.
Put death to the thought of my own thoughtlessness; succumb to the enthralling promises, but sink into a trembling demise. You are touched and prodded, molded and stretched. You are something that you’re not.
Kiss my lips and empty me, love me long and set me free.
I'll give you it all, even me. Or crush me quick and leave me be. Our love is strong..in harmony
Love is only temprary.
You clenched at my chest,
For a sweet rational moment.
Heart drop.
Bottom rock.
The bitter grin
Made my face numb like gin.
The only
Substance
That can
Be
Absorbed
I'm sorry that I fell in love
Sorry that I think you're perfect
Sorry that You're the one
I didn't mean to bother.
I didn't mean to push you away
Didn't mean to go insane
I just wanted you to stay
Stuck in my mind,
but I must rewind.
Death seeks everyone,
its part of life.
There is a limit of time,
passes by like the speed of light.
Containing wonderful memberies,
Society killed the teenager.
What did we expect?
That the words would roll off their shoulders?
No responsibility to collect?
Society killed her.
They said she wasn’t pretty enough.
A year ago, she was enough trouble.
This year, her bad deeds have doubled.
With support, she called me something I’m not—her boyfriend.
I bet she will trouble me to school’s end.
Someone must put an end to her lies—
you cradled my round head to your strong chest
when I was new to the game of life
you wiped fat tears from my cheeks
when I was in the same boat of emotion
as Picasso and his blue phase
The first week of high school is always a bore,with syllabi and “getting to know you” quizzes, and “tips for surviving” lore.
I could always jump, you'd find my body in a dump.
Body broken like my soul, for its spirit no longer could hold.
I could always cry, sometimes wishing I could die.
The world as she knows it comes to an end.The pain, the suffering, the life of my best friend.Her soft fluffy body so frail and so depleted,I can't help but to think that her life wasn't completed.
Follow me
Through this dance of conformity
Copy my movements
Add them to your list of improvements
Your sickness cannot frighten me away
Acceptance is child’s play
I’ll give you the antidote
I remember like it was yesterday
that we talked, joked, and laughed
and now that you are not here
that is all in the past
I can see clear as day
a smile spreading across your face
You want me to admit when I'm wrong,
But you never do
You say it's not right to lie,
But you lie all the time
You tell me to stop being gloomy
But you're angry all the time
The days I spent living my life in the shadow of another are wasted.
Why must I skulk in the shadows while you get to walk in the light?
Is it possible that perhaps I was never meant to be seen, to be noticed?
I am taking off my diamonds,
The emerald mask you gave me to wear
To hide the hurt you left behind,
The hole you left behind.
I am letting all my old scars show.
I am a girl of love,
Compassion and trust,
Most of all I'm a girl of opinion.
And if you don't like it,
I suppose you're pretty opinionated yourself.
What if the truth,
was really a lie?
What would you say,
if I told you that's what I live by?
The lies are only there,
there to hide the pain,
the sorrow, the sad,
the everything.
I tried to write in a smile,
but it ended up a frown,
I tried to write it upside right,
But it ended up upside down.
I tried to write it in like summer,
but it ended up so cold.
I counted to ten,
I'm done! Where are you?
I can't find you...
Will you come out soon?
I miss seeing you,
Hearing your voice.
I miss being with you,
Hiding wasn't your choice.
I played along like it was nothing,
a crush that wouldn't last.
I never knew you felt the same,
we could've skipped the pain of the past.
I denied the accusations,
But I knew I loved you from the start.
Eyes can be deceiving and yours fooled mine
I thought I knew everything, but I guess I was blind
I was very naïve to believe you really loved me and I was stupid enough to let it drag on
Sick and tired of playing the victim;I have shown myself to be unconquerable.Though my pace has been slowed, I'll never give in,I am unstoppable.Because through all the pain,the heartache, and the tears,
There is a great and terrible feeling behind manipulating people.
The feeling of power sinks into your skin,
as you make up a story on the spot,
and watch as it then becomes part of their reality.
To try but never quite see
the lie that has become me
is the fate of those I hold dear
for I run from those things I fear
and never look behind
for hope that I am not blind
To trust in me is to trust in you,
what you don't understand is that I'm broken in two,
wondering if I will get hurt and what will I do,
see my life is a lie,
I dont even trust the flies,
I can't be pushed
around anymore
that was the last time
that I will take your crap
You used me like a ragdoll
when I thought I was your friend
You thought it would be fun
to mess with my mind
People stand behind me
Supporting me
Cheering me on
They're my closest friends
In front of me
Are my enemies
I know they hate me
Their faces filled with disgust
The day is waiting here it comes.
Don't feed me the lies you love so much.
Just leave me to run with my fears.
The tears are coming,
False friends dying,
You never feel strong enough
Run in circles like a mouse in a trap.
Squeak, squeak: "I’m a victim. Everyone else is a cat
Playing with the end of my tail. "
Only the strongest shall avail.
This girl once had a purpose.She strived to be the best.She left it back behind her on the Golden Gate bridge.
Pain.It strikes quicklyalmost unnoticedalmost unfelt.It settles in stages-A fear, a sadness,you shiver, you shakeyou feel the heart quakecrumblethe feeling sinks in
Her alchol level is high , her self esteem is low,
as she stands on this roof alone
she looks at the ground down below
she's ready to jump but her tears are in the way
There comes a time in life when -
you realize that you cant trust anybody.
At first you felt loved -
and then you were betrayed.
Your life spins
and everything you thought you knew -
is now a lie.
I’d treat you like a queen, but what does it mean?
Not a thing, cause I’m new, and you want the old
You tell me nothing even matters, you lie to me
Warmth of your touch… yes, your lie's so bold
If there were no rainbows, we would not have people quoting
that thing that people say, when they don’t know how to help
you but want you to cheer up- “everybody wants to be happy,
I dream of magic and dragons and fairy tales,
where there are women in vintage long dresses and men in chainmails.
The fairies are dancing in the moonlight,
and pixies are hiding just out of your sight.
I was doing just fine in this cold world
Why did you come along?
To maybe throw me for a loop?
Silly girl I was
Why did I not trust myself?
Instincts tell me stop, turn around
Lies why are there so many. They devour they surround me .I'm trying to break free but they're chained locked on to me . Everytime I'm at ease they're tugging at my shirt like a little child begging for attention .
Her doleful eyes pierced his silhouetteThe mind, pushing back his tearsleft his heart unguardedAs lies escaped his breathso did their security
There are cuts on my wrists
because I never thought I'd become this:
Another broken heart
just one more forgotten kiss.
A trip at the end of June.
One of those yellow summers muttered with new tales and new hormones -
Of gold and silver highlights -
Of diamonds and tampered addictions.
A flight quick as liftoff.
I always thought
You were my diamond
In a pile of coals.
But just a wolf
hiding in sheep skin;
you devoured my heart
there it sits -
Pulsing red and bleeding
out your lies.
hope
Is it the only thing able to change everything for the better?
Is it the only thing that is able to change people?
Is it what drives people to keep going despite the odds againt them?
I will never look at you the same ever again. What you did to me, I will never understand. How dare you ever tell me you adore me! When now all you ever do is ignore me. I don’t understand how I could change your mind.
When the morning arises and the city blooms a flower
Rooted deep in the heart of man
It spreads grotesquely in the light of the brightest sun
Urging forward the time for murder and creation
Honesty
Is not a virtue that will get you anywhere
Deception
Now, that is the truth for which I care
A man born mortal is a man who lies
It's a road that leads to ruins. "Don't go down it!" screams your head, but your heart will tumble down it anyway.
My rib cage is in dissarray with all the swelling lies I tried to swallow.
Many men make appearencesBut to the naked eyeAll have the same voicesCould just one man be a lie?
When you're nearHe never callsWhen he callsYou're never near.
Say it to me again,
I dare you.
At first it was nothing.
A black hole-
Empty, no meaning.
But, you feed it so much.
It grows, being filled:
filled with anger, tearing souls.
Through my mind run many
Lines strike across the sky like
Shooting stars fade quickly to
Blackness runs across
Pages fill with dark
Ink can capture the
Light refracts through a
Clockwork heart.
Wind it up
and off it goes.
Don't get too close,
or it might explode.
Dormant, it lies,
therefore unscathed.
It one was new,
pure, whole, expectant.
Tell not a truth
Speak a falsehood
Underneath the mask
the veneer
We are all the same
Rotten to the core
Little Liar
Take the stand
Tell us your truth
The lie you have built
He chuckles behind his white veil.The sun seeps through the seams. His trap has been set. For one night all will be as promised. The beauty of "love everlasting". Then morning hits. The lies begin to trickle down his brow.
She walked along the reeds by day,
Trails of silks and treasure troves around her like clay,
Her heart a Pandora’s Box as she bows her head to pray,
God forsake her if she stay,
Her tale, a common witch’s say,
I grew up amongst the golden turfs and extensive rows of olive,
Where songs of contentment and love were played,
Where mothers and fathers cared for their young,
I thought you were the victim
Crying behind the hands that shielded your eyes
Wondering exactly why I gave into your lies
Trust
Something we were supposed to have
I, who was born from the particles of life, like you.
A breath into form which
I walk and I sing and I rejoice with you.
All in pleasure soft flesh contained,
But how hasted with quick flash
How do I confess to love so deep?
When it may hurt those I want to keep,
A secret so direr,
To hide my desire,
How do I come clean?
How do i stay true?
When i only told few ,
"Everything will be all right,"
He says as she sobs into his shirt,
Her tiny hand clutches the fabric.
Between sobs he pats her back: rocks her,
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
The lies that they feed
to these innocent ears
They are changing the world
from the days to the years
And it’s not right
I was asked today if I was okay.
When asked that what do i say?
Say yes? and lie,
Say no and explain why?,
which is worse?
Lie to someone and feel the guilt,
I lie awake.
The whirring fan-
A broken heart
Caused by my own hand.
Awake.
A train horn sighs.
A numb brain.
I hate the blackened sky.
The man in the moon laughs
They fill us up with lies
They pull down the blinds
And are the cause
Of our sad demise
These voices and their venom
Slowly poison us to death
And in time we become
Depressing to see 12 year olds saying they're in love.
The silence in others make you think of your own.
Breaking promises and making lies look true.
Waking up somewhere you don't belong.
Looking outside the window,
I'm on my ownYou never loved meNow I pay the consequencesAnd you just walk away
I messed upI fell for youI never had a chance
It hadn’t troubled her at first
She knew early enough that fairy tales
Were for those who could afford to dream them
After all she’d been stepping in
The shattered remains of her glass slippers
You’re a twisted lying creature,
On my world you’re just an ugly feature.
I trusted you and gave you my heart,
And you tortured it and tore it apart.
You simply walked away,
I almost died that day.
As life goes on, we dwindle away,
From fighting and lying, everyday.
We place ourselves to lose the race,
By putting ourselves in a never-ending chase:
To be the best
To be number one
Born into the world
Untouched and unstained by harm and knowledge
Still clean, fresh, innocent
But then the time starts there
I grow, I change, I alter, I mutate
I create conscious strokes on my blank canvas
Every human has a different purpose,
so do all the plants and the animals too.
My question is, why everyone tells us,
we can do anything we want to do?
I think to myself and I can make a list,
Why me?
After everything I have put into this,
After all I have given up
I still am in constant pain.
Pain that no one can ever understand.
Pain that only the lonely can ever feel.
Why me?
Can I tell you a secret?
I still want him back.
After all this time, I still have things to tell him.
I always told him I hated the mountains,
But I lied. I love them deeply, passionately, like he did.
I saw her today for the first time
She seemed like she had existed for quite a while
Her face always a smile, a laugh on her tongue
The lie they told spread like wildfire,
burning precious truth in its flames.
All too soon it found its spot upon my doorstep.
Careless control, I saw its destruction:
Nowadays, it’s hard to know what the truth is.
We have tampered with so much as seen
Our environment, plants, animals and even our bodies that
We are oblivious to what is real, what is true
They said! I left them memories,
I left them warmth from the cold,
Thoughts running through their heads,
The devil sits beside me,
undresses from his clothes
Says he wants to love me,
the only love I've ever known.
He kisses with his lips,
but doesn't mean it in his eyes
The only thing he loves
I sit here and wonder why
I feel so alone in this starless sky
We sit together united
But I still feel likethis future we have is near-sighted
Can't you see that there's so much more than me?
Such a hateful gaze
with a force to amaze
but not for the good but for the unobeyed
no one listens
no one cares
you all just sit and stare
at the blank walls with all your blank cares
no one lives
Its sad to live in a world
where you can break people with words
Its sad to live in a world
where you can die
thrice in a day
we all live in the world
and say "look at the bright side"
The False One laid out his offering for the Children.
He laid out His Goods on a gilt rug at the top of a Stair.
There was His Tempter's Ambrosia
And His sweet and sleepy Perfume.
Lost
I once lost my cat, she died
She meant the world to me
But I was OK to see her go
Because I knew she’d been set free
Life is what you make of things
They say you take the good with the bad
They say that life is full of wonders
That there is something waiting for you at the end of the long road
Knees in three inches of proximity yet you're still not close to me
We speak but it's as if I can't hear your words
Because the emotion is drained out of them and suppressed under that organ in your chest
I listen to the sound of your footsteps
And the floorboards creak with your motions
The same old rickety ebony that’s held us up for the past 5 years
Never once complaining as out footsteps left imprints on its back
Y
Many times I ask myself
How and Why
How did I let you in,
Y did I let you leave
ME.
was it Me?
or U?
or who?
was I at fault?
At the end of the day,
In a field full of dandelions, you grab me and say "love me or love me not",
you throw a long stemmed flower at me and questionably ask "lets see!?".
As I pick through the petals and I jokingly shout "love you not!!",
I always remember the days when I kissed you and all the times we hung out because those are the memories I don't want to forget. Today I was walking through school and I saw you with him. So in love even though he doesn't love you the way I do.
If I left yesterday
Would you miss me
Today
And forget me tomorrow?
If I started running
Would you chase me
Bring me back
To the lie of your arms
Love Poem: We males today in society should be treating our girls like diamond rubies crystals and pearls.Today females that have a relationship live in sorrow,fear and despair.All females want is something very rare, like a man that can express t
The stab of betrayal is sharper than any knife.
It cuts through the heart and the brain and makes the weak question their life.
It comes from those most beloved, and is by far the worst offense.
Why do you?
Like me, I mean.
You are the second,
who told me
"I love you."
But you are the first,
whom I actually believe.
As the days go on and the nights go by
I can’t think of anything else to do,
So I sit here and cry.
Liebe mich
hasst mich
seine fur alle das gleiche mir
denn du hast mich kaputt mich
doch hab es nicht bereut
Ich will nicht bereut.
negativ Erfahrungen,
machen uns stärker
Translates to:
I'm like a rubber band
I can't be broken
I have been hurt so many times that I'm not breakable
I have cried so many times that your words will never hurt
Stick and Stones may break my bones but words will never hurt
last spring you told me
'it will all get better'
i watched you take his hand
and walk far away.
it is not better.
it's not even close.
why did you lie to me?
One girl stands out from the rest.
One girl is different
From the others.
One girl wears her
Heart on her sleeve.
People are starving…
being slaughtered…
having to choose between family and passions…
praying to a God for their lives to taken out of their living hell…
Poor kid, Leave me alone. Leave the animosity from your personal experiences away from me. See I haven't done anything to you.
How is she supposed to know
That you're love was really so
When nothing but lies were told
You've broken our hearts
Tore her family apart
A home no more
Only an empty house
More burdens to hold
(I have not seen you nor have I known;
But I love you more than riches or gold.
I have not realized through images of art,
how close you really are to my heart.
You are my light, you make me smile;
(I have not seen you nor have I known;
Bu I love you more than riches or gold.
I have not realized through images of art,
how close you really are to my heart.
You are my light, you make me smile;
"Sticks and stones may break my bones", but words have more power than the biggest army.
With each break, bones heal stronger,
but internal wounds never will.
Although they try.
Just before they are mended,
No one knows how I feel
No one knows what I want
They laugh and laugh
As if they don't care
The effects of a past riddled with bullets;
empty shells, empty lies,
hit the pavement,
resounding with the weight of all lies past.
You can't tell me, with all of these wounds,
parts of us didn't die.
I open the door and I see her standing there.
I look into her eyes, and it makes me want to cry.
Seeing her standing there, staring with her vicious glare.
I can’t believe I used to say that girl with her vicious glare
How many times do you live to tell a lie
to hurt me just a little and to see me shed a cry
How many times do you live to see the day
the day that hurts me more and more in every little way
She walks by and I see your eyes drift away from me,
As if our conversation means nothing at all,
On a different day I would let it be;
I knew it was always for you I would fall.
So I sit here and wonder in my head,
Believe in me to bathe in lava.
Trust that I will do no wrong.
If you wish, I'll fly a kite to Mars.
I will give you love wrapped in stars.
I wish I could see the light,
But that's a struggle, a fight.
The past has made me stronger
Indeed, I shall live longer
Today I saw Sunshine in the clouds,
The kind that makes me happy.
Today I saw Sunshine in the sky,
The kind that makes me cry.
Today I saw Sunshine in the dark,
The kind that makes me sway.
Heart and soul, is split by carted coal because as a started whole the heart was an uncharted hole, but it departs when the ego gets swole, remember the heart only knows what the mind is told, so when the lies are composed, in the minds souls, the
The word LOVE flys freely as a bird.
The word LOVE isn't given the respect it deserves.
Why shall we find it okay to remain confused, between LOVE and Lust, LOVE and Fascination.
Shall I compare thee to a siren?
Thou art more seductive and charming.
With a song that is a melodic sin,
And beauty seen best in spring.
Sometimes a man strides through,
I hope to see your smiling face,
to see the touch of fath.
but in your hands my hope is dead,
to cold to hear thy voice.
I cry and scream to hear the hope,
but only to be deined.
Drops of golden, wasted space
Pressed upon a solid face.
Windswept strands of faded truth
Blown across the palms of youth.
Cautioned, never came to phase,
Wearing starlit, glassy haze.
The world is a empty place
Full of hate and disgrace
Full of so many lies
A place with no allies
Everyone seeks the truth
But it's broken and bruised
Little white lies
Surround our daily lives
Torn, tattered, tantalized;
Illuminating darkness fills your eyes.
Emotion fueled from burning lies,
The truth covered with a convincing disguise
A chance on success
A chance on failure
A chance on life
A chance on friendship
Take me or leave me
Love me or Hate me
Don't try to make me feel less if
I don't fit inside of your "box"
they say YOU ARE:
iNsignificant
wOrthless
Trivial
Annoying
daFt
tAnlentless
stupId
Lazy
loUd
depRessing
Easy
Do you recognize your own lines, or do you turn a blind eye to lies that deceived me...if you're going to be an ass, at least be an honest ass.
They make fun of me.
Things I do and say.
Is this their way
Of killing those who are unworthy?
Who doesn't deserve to be happy?
Those of us who stray
From “normal”, live with an array
They talk, they hide in fear of me.
They fear that I will find their whisper,
Seek their faults, shout no surrender,
Until their gossip, dead and lonely, be
And until then, I wait and see
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Sit in your seats,
For you are about to read a great play,
Of nothing but deceit:
We push the people we don’t understand,
We drown in our sorrows,
Yet extend our helping hand,
He said he loved me
He said that he cared
He said he would love me more than could ever share
But he hit me then and I found the cold truth
that our love was not there and there was no truce
The man proclaimed he was a genius:
they scoffed and asked for proof.
He looked them straight in both their eyes, said:
"Sirs, the first from you."
Through my eyes
Your see the fear and pain.
A very negative pain that could hurt for life,
With nothing more than hate for you.
The sting of reality is realized
As the reality of the real intensifies
And the hidden no longer is fantasized
As I uncover your habitual lies.
I live in a place where talk is cheap. Three cents a rumor and scandal comes free. Daily dish for a penny, spilled beans are on sale. Discount subscriptions for The Juicy Detail. Tragedies, pregnancies at huge blow out prices!
Like bitter flies that buzz annoying atrociousness near your ears and eyes
Stinging and slapping with every word, a crooked whip
Every tongue is indeed a bit twisted, hiding truth in false disguise
once lost, it disappears,
it vanishes.
it disintegrates into nothing,
it's absence leaving a void
that can never be replaced.
When you think all is right and nothing can go wrong
Life tests you again to see where you are most strong
You call me son.
I call you by name.
The things you have done
You should be ashamed.
You say you are a better man,
You want me to see.
My eyes are open
To the man who stands before me.
I felt the frost on my tongue, because I was growing young and the sun didn't shine from the words I spoke. I kissed a flower as I smelled a delicate perfume and walked in a cold garden among a cold world.
Can I provide you with a rhyme to
Help you vibe with me on this ride through my mind?
May I coerce you into working with me to get to
A special place where I can get to know you beyond the letters that form you're name
Liberty, who may define this subtle word, our governing persuaders, you or me? Surely one may elucidate Liberty as freedom, distant of a governed control, an empowerment of choice and thought, backed by moral notions. Is this claim too absurd?
Such little hands
With little fingers
Such small feet
With little toes
Sandy loves to play outside
Sandy loves to sing as loud
as she can
Sandy loves to love things
She loves pink and dresses
Every day we wait
And wait, and wait
Wait for our truth
Our justice
Our rights
But they never come.
Media purports them
Politicians revoke them
But the people never receive.
If I sang a tune of lies,
would you be pleased?
If I sang a sweet tune of lies, like a song hidden with darts and knives...
I would have you all deceived.
You feel alone don't you?
Your heart is aching with an unbearable pain.
He hurt you. And he was the one you trusted most.
He broke that and you are mad and upset.
Life,
the gift of living,
only gives one chance
to get it right.
"if" of the unexpected;
"i" makes it mine;
"L" symbolizes love,
along with the lies;
My 35 millimeter could never quite catch the essence of your beauty
Hidden rolls of film remain
with nothing but your name
See the two things i loved most both hid my inner most fears
Lets not talk about love, to watch her sleep but still feel such distance
dont talk about love, to kiss her lips and feel resistance
my soul cries when i look into her eyes
like my eyes did when her lips sang to me lies
I cant find love, it seems hidden behind kisses that take your breath away
behind hand holding and sweet smiles
I cant find love, it only consists of the first few weeks of infatuation
A yell, a hit, a tear.
Sounds echo in my thoughts
Why am I ignorant? Why do I lie?
I dream; I don’t remember
Well it's nothing new,
Nothing to shake the rattles in the mind
broken promises
of impure lies.
words forgotten
lost in the mind.
thoughts of feeling
disappeared into darkness.
wounds of pain
bleeding internally.
replacement never ending
Outside lives a guy with a smile that will brighten up the room,
yet inside hides a guy with a frown full of despair.
My mother’s embrace is my home and in her arms I am never alone. People attack me with words, words that pierce my soul like daggers. I am not fierce nor am I bold so I cannot help the tears that pour like rain as I am in pain.
The sun in the day,
the moon at night,
a sky littered with stars and
clouds they hide behind.
The trees, so tall,
with leaves on their branches,
which change their color and fall as summer passes.
I want to hear the truth
I want to hear something besides your usual lies
I want to hear the truth before what we have dies
I want to experience reality
Because things between us have been just a fantasy
Do not promise what you will fail to deliver
Beautiful
Hopes are crystallized shards of glass
Fragile
But when they break, a maiden will cry a river
Promise
Each vow: special; varies in size and shape
A king once sat upon his throne
And made such choice to be alone
For fear of love turned, taking ill
But this choice strained beneath his will
His loneliness forced silent moan
HOW MANY TIMES
IT’S A SIMPLE QUESTION
HOWEVER I ASK FREQUENTLY
AND NEVER GET A CONFESSION.
HOW MANY LIES?
DO I LISTEN TO?
MY MIND STARTS TO WANDER
I KNOW EVERY WORD IS UNTRUE
HOW MANY SMILES
GET IN THE TRUCK!
DO YOU HAVE YOUR KEY?
BECAUSE I HAVE TO GO!
THERE’S SOMEONE I HAVE TO MEET
NO, I CAN’T TELL YOU ANYTHING
OR HOW LONG I’LL BE.
BUT, DON’T YOU WORRY,
I PROMISE YOU CAN TRUST ME.
Don't worry of it
The end will not come
These theories of lies
Will root to the ground
So stop making these lies
Be happy to be around
Live another year for you
