TwistedEverything is so messed up
I’m so confused
I should be crying,
But instead I’m laughing
Laughing…
At death.
Laughing…
At my last breath.

When the world is backwards
I’m so confused
The sky is ground
The north is south
And I find myself swinging
From the cobblestones
And with dirty hands, walking
Gripping with knuckle bones

Why is it, turned all around
I’m so confused
Yes means no
Wrong is right
And I’m enthralled with hurting people
Destroying their souls
And living, but actually dead
And somehow hurt consoles

At this rate I’ll be
Falling down to heaven
Or flying up to hell

To real

Dread to DareThere she cowers, in the cold heart of blackness,
Scratching claws, stupidity, on iron bars,
Despair only driving her to madness;
Her mind in torment, reminding ageless scars.

Pacing back and forth in her confinement,
She laments like an animal, trapped forever;
Tears grace her cheeks with bitterness not refinement;
She plotted her escape but they screamed, No never!

She’s done this to herself resignation no other
She’s signed up for torment, she’s signed up for hell!
Wandering from one restricting corner to another
Ragged, torn, and crawling filth; they swear, don’t tell.

Her ashen cheeks all sunken and hollow

I think, I feelI think, I feel
And sometimes it stinks,
When one thought goes ‘round
Like a little bug, Buzzing
Poking you, prickling you,
Biting you, snitching you
Doing a buggy parade ground
C’mon admit, it’s annoying…
You’ve failed, you’re not good enough
And you think this, I’m enjoying…
They’re better than you, you’re not enough
Soon you realize, the damage already done
You think, you feel, and then you hurt
And oh boy it ever hurts
Sometimes so much
You hope to evaporate
Into the mist on the slough

Again I think, I feel
Things happen so perfect
Like an aurora light
Piercing your soul,

Dying to be BeautifulDying to be beautiful
How far does it go
How deep can it get
How dark can it pull

When nothing holds you together
But layers of makeup on sunken cheeks
And your bones so frail they
Shatter from sobbing
Your heart so weak
You cannot risk loving

Your world so painful,
Through gray misty eyes
From the outline of ribs
To the protruding bone spines
I clearly see, you’re dying
Yes, dying to be beautiful

I wish somebody would tell you
The secret of beauty
It comes from the heart
The inside out
Not the outside in

But still how far will you go
How deep will you get
How dark will you go
Until you realize
You’re dying
Just to be

LionessShe’s not a weakling
Nor a coward
No broken heart
Not even soured
She’s a Lioness
Sure footed, powerful
The Lioness

She walks as queen
Despite dismantled face
A mark unforeseen
Experience, commands respect
She’s a Lioness
Wild and free, says don’t mess with me
The Lioness

She’s not a killer
Nor a flower
Her stride, it’s a thriller
Like an action film
She’s a Lioness
Keeping you all on the tips of your toes
The mighty Lioness

You’re comfortable with her
She makes you feel safe
She stands mind tall as a balsamic fir
She looks out for the great and the small
She’s a lioness
So beautiful an

Winter HeartFrozen solid, her heart will not beat,
Summer over, arctic winds won’t retreat,
All warmth and light has fled,
And you won’t last long there,
Her heart it’s a tundra in winter,
A winter heart, all dead.

The snow falling your love a breeze,
You won’t last long, you'll just freeze
Icicles from the past have froze her core,
Only warm hearts will change the season
Her heart it’s a tundra in winter
A winter heart, you've fallen for

Thanks to You Love
Cannot
Comprehend
It’s like a lie
That you tell to me
This word abused, confused
Meant to say you’re a game
You’re nothing more, nothing less
Pray tell, next time, if it’s love or lust
This word, thanks to you, I no longer trust

PridePride
Nervous
Sick, stupid
Worried they’ll think
You are dumb, useless
Building a wall between
Acquaintance and a friendship
It controls thoughts and opinions
So you can’t make the right decisions
Pride, it’s fear, it’s ego, it’s mind control

Bull Sh*tSo let me get this straight;
I'll have you know early as now
That I refuse to give in to this insanity
of wishful thinking borne from blinded partiality.

To fall and lose track of one's mind,
lose all common sense as time flies;
Why, just imagine what trouble it would cause me, dear,
if from this emotions I cannot stir myself clear?

I begin to feel sick,
Filled with utter disbelief that
Your face, your gaze, your voice is plaguing my humble brain.
Oh, is there any way from these thoughts I can abstain?

I see you in my sleep--
in between nightmares and sweet dreams;

Despite all my resistance and psych so unstable,
In my heart's depths how

Of Greedy HeartsLong ago a man had prided himself,
in owning vast hectares of barren land.
To ease his burdens and relieve oneself,
his sons offered him their helping hands.

In the beginning came a golden age
Of towering trees, bountiful harvests.
The end arose from the equal wages,
When each son claimed to be the best.

In the seasons to come, they longed for more,
‘To each his own’ his sons had said.
The father grew ill, sad, forevermore
his sons came back, to find him dead.

In a faraway future a landlord,
divided vast hectares of barren land.
To ease his burdens and relieve oneself,
his sons offered him their helping hands.

Thus begins the

Under Your SunYou were both but you were none
Idle here. Wasting away under your sun.
Life. Words. Love. Whispers.
Bittersweet memories and
you are the most precious one.
Death and Chocolate,
blood and promise
you were both but you were none
Idle here. Swearing away the blame.
Between. Dreams. Beside. Darkness.
Each nonexistent part
a smokeless silent flame.

PreceptionPrestige
Glamour
And Beauty
Clinging
Like forsaken child

Despair
Anxiety
And frustration
Carrying
Love in chaotic wing

Charm
Deception
and witty pity
Capturing
Essences of self destruction

Unsatisfying
This life
Driven by emotion
Choosing
Left only to perception

AbandonedCome back
I don't want to be alone again
my head can't take the silence

Because now I can hear the
tick tick tick
of my junk yard body
put together by lone children

The memories rush in
trying to cover wounds with past abandonments
to remind me that everyone leaves
always

Hands shaking with regret
and the feeling of my time-bomb heart
stuck in my chest

My fingers still ache to hold on to something
I have no right to

Dreams filled with bleeding memories
are turning into nightmares
dripping with your face

Why can't I have someone who will stay with me
why can't I just be happy

The TruthThe truth is
there are parts of me
I always are
but never see
and this half-life
a wondrous in-between
is what those who testify
will tell you that they've seen.

Virgin MaidenVirgin Maiden,
Ebony black hair cascading down her back,
Bright cerulean eyes lifted upwards,
Tall and slender,
Gentleness, grace and beauty in every movement,
Speaking only a hint of the soul’s splendor,
Long flowing blue gown she is clothed in,
With the white veil of purity as her mantle.

Thy glory is hidden from the world no longer!
For thy name has been magnified!

Oh Virgin spotless.
Arise!
Come into Heaven,
Take thy seat as Queen.
Do you hear the joyous shouts of the angels?
Do you hear the exalting cries of the saints?
They are all for thee,
Mother of God!

InfectionI'm Unfortunate,
Unlucky,
and Afflicted;
You're contagious,
and I've behaved,
Outrageous,
and rather Unjustly.
Only together a mere while,
And I'm infected,
With every word
of Affection,
that on me you've tested.
Tear me apart
and no longer leave me to suffer,
of this disease you've inflicted;
where I have no choice
But to think of you,
all day,
and in my dreams at night.
Cure me, out of your good will, my lover
for I fear I'm lovesick still.

Brain StormMy brain sloshes ‘round within my skull
The waves pounding against my temples
Endless chatter screeches like seagulls
My thoughts erupt the cortex as lava
Travelling through my body to Vena Cava
Poisoning my violent beating heart
Rattling the physical and spiritual apart
Where the dust lies one’s mind a chemical eruption
Silence goes unnoticed, in the brain full of disruption
Feelings like tornados uprooting reasoning
Destruction, anger deepening
Where there is silence surfacing the outer skin
There is insanity devising its design for turmoil within
Flaying neurons and catastrophic brain signaling
From subconscious preconditioni

ErrorsCold breath on my purple lips,
The sensation touches my ears’ tips
Echoes of dead roses in a fierce-some gloom
My sorrow follows me as though it’s in full bloom
The open air levitates my still form
The coldness shocking me like a magnetic storm
I lay lifeless, colder, stiller, than my skin an icy blue
Spread out as to catch this morning’s dew
The mist is like a comforting blanket
My head, stripped of innocence, a blank planchet
Waiting to be stamped by my failures
Rather than face my sneering errors
Can’t I stay here, to be kissed by memories?
Ladled out from the stagnant pool of the centuries
Soothing fingers stroke

Dear Internal Self:

I know you are good
I know how you're able
I know you are beautiful
And quite capable
I know you are strong
I know that you're graceful
I know you’re perseverant
And wholly faithful
I know you're secure
A moral silhouette
I know that you will forgive
And forever forget
I know that you're smart
I know how you've been brave
I know that you’re respected
And always behave
I know you’re thankful
I know how you're friendly
I know you are flexible
And

Take a BreatherI’m not a model nor superstar
but I’m just as special as the next rock star

I’m not the queen of wonderland
But I have a heart and I understand

I’m not a magician nor actress
but I have good tastes as an artist

One day you may find me rotted in my chair
Where I sat and wrote my little heart out there

Well I may not be an amazing athlete
But in math and science I sure got you beat

I’m not a famous singer
But I am a wild dreamer

While I may not be strong and without fear
I am at least brave enough to shed a tear

While I don’t always have perfect things to say
I can sure give good hugs away

While I

Everything I NeedI never took the time to look around
Until I realize, in despair I’m found

I fret and worry like Peter on the sea
Until to Jesus Christ, I forever plea

Then to heaven, aye my heart is free
Now in this world, my heart no longer be

I set my gaze to greener rolling hills
And feel His Word how my lungs it fills and fills

I look up to azure skies
To think about how the angel flies

Eyes are sure to find a budding rose
How Christ’s love it grows and grows

In the morn, wetness of the dew
Hearing birds sing so lovely and I'm all new

Try to think not as much of me
Just want to love them all no matter who they be

Drowning Tears

Verse 1
It’s so hopeless and I’m scared
The light just rushes right past me
Like a whirlwind of despair
I hear a wolf cry, alone in the night
The wolf creeps by, gently whispers in my ear
I shiver, a cloud, with doubt slamming in my face
Why do I feel so ensnared …?

Verse 2
My heart is pounding in my chest
Is it just a dream?
I can’t seem to do the right thing
My whole body rebels
I see the right choice, why can’t I make it?
Something’s got me by the neck
Please take the fear away …

Verse 3
Surrounded by love
How am I ignored?
Blood is flowing down my face,
I feel sick, as I’m knocked to the ground
He tears out my soul
Ripping it to nothing but shreds
I can’t see the light …

Verse 4
On the cold floor, my heart keeps pounding
I wish it would stop
Cause I can’t forgive
The moon slips out of reach
Why does he keep watching?
I just want to run away from here
Oh, why is it so cold …?

Chorus
I can’t live on
But I don’t wanna give up
I try to die, but it just won’t work
I scream for help, but nobody hears
So, I guess I’m just sitting here
Drowning in all my tears
