Welcome, welcome one and all
All your dreams will start to fall
fall through the floor
floor the judges and walk out the door
door to the unknown
unknown to everything but soul and bone
bone of man and bone of beast
beast with fangs and teeth
teeth with ridged edges
edges of wreathed sharp ledges
ledges where only a gooodbye meets a hello
hello and welcome home...
I feel so alone
Alone like no other
Other people don’t understand
Understand what I am doing
Doing what I do
Do what I feel
Feel what I am
Am what I think
Think about what I have been
Been in places I have
Have heard the sound of silence
Silenced are we
We are silenced
Silenced but screaming
Screaming but alone
Alone like no other
Others are strong
Strong are we
We need to band together
Together ...
My comfort is loneliness,
loneliness is you,
you have those eyes,
eyes that talk through your soul,
soul is a word that means posibilities,
posibilities only me and you know,
know? so talk without words,
words are just there to make us fail,
fail with me if you must though,
though all we hear in between is our soft breath,
breath maintains us alive,
alive makes a conection with life,
life take us ...
The waves, which would channel sunlight into each splash
Splash, a word bringing many smiles to children
Children, who continued to jump as the waves began to rise
Rise, in a way that swept all the sand away
Away, all the children went
Went to their cozy homes with fireplaces
Fireplaces that warmed when the sand began to burn
Burn, leaving behind more deep red damage
Damage, that caused mothe...
Whispers in the night,
Night's cold embrace tightens,
Tightens around my heart,
Heart aches with your absence,
Absence like a void,
Void of all but pain,
Pain that echoes deep,
Deep within my soul,
Soul yearning for a touch,
Touch now lost to time,
Time marches on,
On without you here,
Here in the silence,
Silence filled with tears,
Tears that fall like rain,
Rain that never ends.
Ends ...
Mourn in silence, silence, unheard cries,
Cries of a love, love that never flies.
Flies the passage, passage of time,
Time's cruel jest, jest in its prime.
Prime moments faded, faded away,
Away from him, him in the fray.
Fray of memories, memories denied,
Denied connection, connection set aside.
Aside in solitude, solitude she weaves,
Weaves a love, love that never leaves....
(Tw: suicidal thoughts)
My hands are contorting
Contorting like I’m possessed
Possessed by my demons
Demons who wish me dead
Dead on the inside, smiling on the outside
Outside these walls I built
Built for someone brave enough to climb
Climb over the jagged edges and the needles that so round my heart so bloody and bruised
Bruised from war, fighting for a reason
Reason not to let...
I have a headache
Headache because of you
You made my hands shake
Shake like a trembling leaf
Leaf in a tornado
Tornado of emotions
Emotions that you brought out
Out of time
Time mocks me as it ticks down
Down I go
Go and try, I dare you
You are the terror of my day
Day turns to night
Night is gone in a flash
Flash of what I thought would be stress free
Free from the shackles of my professor
Pr...
It’s like nobody hears me
Me myself and I that’s how it is
Is it sad? Yes but You get used to it
It just hurts that they would hate me
If they knew
Knew of the fact that I am two people
People who very few will accept
Accept their differences and their pride
Pride which is tucked away beneath my skin
Skin so broken I appear a beast
A beast yep that’s probably right...
How to make them like you
You can’t always figure it out
Out of line they sometimes say
Say what you feel not what you don’t
Don’t be so harsh on people
People can only do their best
Best is always good enough
Enough to pass the test of time
Time will tell if it’s the truth
Truth will always be a winner
Winner or not we can all try harder
Harder than we did today
Today is not over yet
Yet, ther...
