My heart does thump
my skin does burn
When the shadow of a man stands
his presence adjourned
1 second he’s there
10 minutes he’s not
On the nights that the air
is stagnant and hot
Bending ‘round corners
lurking in hallways
These dreams of mine
They’re just a phase
A hint of a attention
I shouldn’t pay
To the being that haunts me before every day...
*Beep Beep Beep Beep*
No!
Not Again!
I need sleep, sleep, SLEEP!
Through slivers I see the hideous yellow.
Through shivers, I feel the cold hard floor.
*Beep Beep Beep Beep*
No!
Not Again!
I crave rest, rest, REST!
Through nauseating gurgles, I smell the roast beans
Through the antagonizing one-way glass, I see the dead reflection
*Beep Beep Beep Beep*
No!
Not Again!

I woke up bright and early to the sun shining bright,
Adjusted my eyes to the harsh morning light.
It didn’t seem odd that I could suddenly see,
Nor was it strange that you were smiling at me.
We hopped into the old Mustang GT,
Took off down south Central with Seether blaring on repeat.
Probably The Gift, yes, that was our song,
I laughed so hard when you tried to sing along.
We drove for m...
Inside me are wounds, wrapped up by scars. Beauty’s skin deep, but my insides rage war. Please forgive me, for eating your blues. Even though the words I scream in hate, are true. You’re so pretty when I cry. But I don’t think you realize. There is no depth left in my soul. I needed your love to make me whole. I wear my heart upon my lips. Kiss me hard, taste my sick. Disease roams freely in my ve...
I’m falling
I start bawling.
I hit the ground
As my head feels a big pound.
Waking up with a jolt
I get up and lock the deadbolt.
But, I can’t escape
The man in the cape,
As I turn around
There he stands, dressed as a clown.
He grabs me roughly
And whisper’s gruffly,
“You’re still not awake?”
As I just shake....
Wake up
Start the day
Dress up
And pray
Go to school
Messy hair up
Not trying to look cool
No make up
Me and my friends laugh
But then I'm alone in almost every class
Confused and bored in dreaded math
That one kid being an a**
ELA goes by quick
And to band I rush
You're hair is so nice and slick
I can't help but blush
After fun band
You ask me to the dance
You hold my hand
And we stand in a...
