InsanityFrom the suffering I come
Bleeding through the eyes,
The hope is now gone
Drowned in your cries.
A sudden scream, the agony’s so loud,
You drop to your knees,
Pray to God to help you out,
But once again, He has let you down.

Not able to move,
Not able to speak,
Life is so cruel,
And always was, it seems.
You’ve lost your will,
You’re getting weak,
Your body has collapsed
And so have your dreams.
Your mind gives up,
But you still want to fight,
Strength seeps out through your wrists
So you just fall down.

Then comes the peace,
So desired and calm.
Your head is now empty
And so is your heart.
There’s no more pain,
No memor

LonelyA shy little girl
all on her own
starting a new life
yet still alone:

Things were going
to be different
things were going
to change:

But she still
sits in her dorm
no more than
a two word exchange:

Food always tastes better
when with friends
sometimes she sits
there and pretends:

A safe haven to learn
she thought she'd call home
has turned into a hell
with no one to know:

She though she
could be visible
everyone here
could see:

but things never
are what they seem
and she will never
have a happy ending:--

I will love youI will love you,
Even if stars stop there shining; I will love you.
Even if the ground crumbles around us; I will love you.
Even if everything is falling apart; I will love you.
Even if the world turns to gray and the rain never stops; I will love you.
Even if all I know stops being true; I will love you.
Even if up is down and left is right; I will love you.
Even if you give up on everything; I will love you.
Even if I never utter a word again; I will love you.
Even if the world stops to spin; I will love you.
Even if the world comes to an end; I ill love you.
Even if we are worlds apart; my love will never leave you.
There is no even if tha

Non-Existent SanityThey said that the doctors were wrong
So they locked me inside a cage
They wanted to keep an eye on me
So they made sure I was on a leash
They said they were my saviour
But I said that they were wrong

I said that I’m not mental
But they said I was wrong
My neighbour was tortured by these people
But is too scared to do anything about it
For these scientists are the monsters
That they claim us to be

They say that I am nearing insanity
But nothing can be proved
Without running loads of experiments
They plan to dissect me to pieces
So they can find a cure to my problems
Cause they think I have a non-existing sanity

How much longer will

These Kinds of NightsThese are the kinds of nights
Where you're tired of feeling
You're tired of fighting
You're barely staying alive

You want to swallow a few pills
Maybe drink a beer or two
Pull out your stash of weed
Anything
You'll do anything to send your mind elsewhere

But you realize that being under the influence isn't enough
You've smoked so many joints
Gone through bottles and bottles of medicine
Used every wine glass in your cabinet

And it all comes back to this

If only...
You could feel numb forever

As you travel down the highway, you think "what would happen if I just jerked the wheel a little?"
As you lie in your bathtub, you think "what if I f

Ebbing AwayThe walls
They crumble around me
Not one, not two, nor three
But all of them.

For the first time
I don't feel numb;
For the first time
I feel something other than cold.

Pain, anguish, despair,
These emotions all claw at me.
Threaten to beat my heart out
Through my throat.

Emotion is burdensome today,
When I least need it.
When it's not required.
My mind throws blanks.

I fall down my own
Fiscal cliff, wary of the snags;
Not caring for anything
What's the point?

Uncertainty's the future
Chaos is the past
What's the present?
Far from calm, that's for sure.

Who Am I?Smile
Laugh
Play
That's what I fake every day

Cry
Scream
Fight
That's what I do every night

Mean
Selfish
Cruel
That's how I act at school

Worthless
Brat
Loam
That's what I'm called at home

Bipolar
Violent
Stone
That's what I am on my own

Who am I?

I'm OkayMy tears are flowing onto your heart
But you don't have a heart
So you can't feel them
Of course I'm okay.
Of course, because I smile every minute you face me
Of course, because you never see me cry
or frown
or whimper
or scream
But I see you
You say I'm the happiest person in the world
Because I smile more than you do
You say you are jealous
Because I am happier than you are
So much happier
Because I'm okay
And while you cry for the thing you don't have
I try to comfort you
But the thing that I had you already took from me
But I'm always okay
Willing to be your punching bag
The backup disk
The tissue you use and throw away and forget about.
Maybe your cold froze over your heart.
Because

Letting GoWhen everything that could possibly be said
Has been spoken,
Our mouths have smiled, our eyes have cried,
And hearts have been broken,
What is there left to do
But just walk away
When all that's left of something so complex
Is simply naught but pain?
Life goes on.
We grow and change,
But something deep within remains,
So how can it be
That these times have gone
When once upon a time you were the one?
But then did you ever really forsee
An ending other than this?
Maybe in another life
We could've watched a sunset
Under a tree in each other's arms
Sharing our first kiss.
Maybe it could once have been that way
Or maybe it w

MercyYou're like a fallen angel
A dusty doll on the shelf
Your eyes still to the ceiling
Counting the seconds
The spans between the rise and fall of your chest
Cutting through the torture
Tracing the bites on your stomach with shaking fingers
Cursing Venus
Merciless bitch
Drunk behind the gym during class
So broken
Helpless
Yearning and mourning
Nothing but a scared little boy
Face pressed to the filthy bus window
Watching mommy wave goodbye
You're a broken wine glass
Shattered between stiletto heels
Branded with ruby lipstick and the stick of apple wine
Babe, don't try to shove your bruised knuckles in your empty pockets
Brush it off

Sadness is...

the pain in my head
the sleepless nights
the boss on my case
the loss of my home

the tears of a child
the war in my town
the hatred of some
the world's apathy

the poor who have none
the rich with too much
the scars of the heart
the lies being spread

the car that went left
the train that derailed
the plane that went down
the death of a friend

when it's all said and done

and I'm left all alone

will you be the one or...

will I have none

TrustWho wants too walk with me down this long road
Who wants too make this journey thats so very cold
Where hearts are dark with no room for love
Blackened their soul,twisted the raven to look like a dove.

Inner daemons flooding my dreams
making the most normal thing not as it seems
wildly dark daemons penetrating my mind
searching for secrets never for me to find.

The deepest trust given to ones I care for
turn to deceit and lies, friends no more
the cruelest ways and words left me in sorrow
riped out my heart like theres no tomorrow.

Feeling foolish and feeling so hurt
as my heart no more important than dirt
as I said who wants this walk wi

Into The WoodsInto the woods
Where the wildflowers grow
Where the s e c r e t s tend to hide
Lies a place, which few people know

An old, b r o k e n house
Fit for a family of two
Nestled deep within the woods
A young woman and her granny too

All dressed in red
It’s time to play
Little does she know
She’s got a new companion that’s there to stay

He watches from the shadows
A guardian of the night
There to keep her company
But instead brings fear and fright

He means no harm
A beast misunderstood
A sheep in wolf’s clothing
A faithful friend, if he could

The moon shines bright
Across the sunken path
She’s all by herself
I

I Must Be Dreaming . . .I must be dreaming . . .
Please take me away from me
Away into nothing
Dull my heart's pain
Silence my mind and dry my tears
I must be dreaming . . .

My sky is now dark
Everything crashed to the ground
No pieces left big enough to mend
Tiny shards only left to cut deeper

Always knew my reason for being
Fought those demons for so long
Come take me I beg of you
Curse the seen and hope to die
Steal my breath, take my soul

My joy now my pain, happiness now horror
I'm sorry . . . was it truly me?
When night falls on me I'm fallen
All I need is you . . .
My only everything
Please tell me I'm dreaming . . .

Longing to be lost inside you
Lost all

They FallYour eyes melted into the sky
as jellyfish illuminate the night,
cosmic bodies, they fall to earth
becoming alien beauties.

Breaking PointEveryone has a breaking point
You've just crossed mine
I give up, fuck it all
No more pain, no more lies
I won't be hurt
Not even one more time
You've just killed the last feeling
I had inside
And now I'm just an empty shell
With glassy dead eyes
But the thing you don't know
Are not jet aware
Is that now when I've lost everything
I can do what I want
No one telling me how
No one to call my name
With nothing to lose
I look in your eyes
And you see the danger
Coming from inside
Now i will do
Whatever's in my mind
Not caring about the price
As I'm dead inside

Life's BonfireWhen the time comes
And God calls my name
I will make a stake
Of all my mistakes
All dreams and hopes
Desires and friend
Of all I loved
And the ones who left

On the bottom I will put
Tree climbing, first bike
Always alone at home
That didn't feel right

I don't blame you Mummy
You were so young
I don't blame you Daddy
That you worked all the time

Then will go the pain
That ruined my life
And my childhood was gone
And I wanted to die

Next it's time for the people
Who hurt me or left
So called boyfriends
And forgetful friends

And these few moments
So intimate
I wouldn't dare to tell now
What I did with them

Lonely Cries

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

Don't look at me
When I fall apart
I don't want you
To hear my cries
I will always push away
The ones who say they care
It's just sorrow and shame
They care only about themselves
It's just their morality
That makes them pretend

They never look in my eyes
Too afraid of what they might see
Of the empty stare
That won't go away
Scared of the darkness
Of the soulless face
And the hint of a murder
That is always there
