Visceral - Hello Poetry

I can't remember the last time I remembered I can't get out of myself Told I'm ungrateful, acting so shameful I don't think I'm doing so well I lived in a tent and was made to pay rent They helped me with money, and all of it spent On food, games and places to lay With people I'd come to forget. Can't find my drive, I'm barely alive Forgotten my brother, my father, I lied Said I would be there, said I would try And got lost in the haze on my mind. So I get when they're angry, that I am a ghost A parasite draining every host But I can't be upset, I can't make amends "Stop being the victim" I guess. So I picked up the phone, made an overdue call I'll be getting some help with my head I wish it upset me, I wish that I cared But the change in my action is rare. I want to be better, but don't want it enough My energy wanes and what's basic is tough They gave me advice, helped me to survive And I turned all their efforts to dust I wish it upset me, I wish that I cared But the change in my action is rare.

Mist-minded, clouded thoughts Can't seem to focus, or keep rapport Importance is relevant, irrelevant I dwell In this cartography, well-drawn Hell Zipped up lips, verbiage tripped The spoken, delivery, edge unclipped Harsh and cold, worn limestone Regardless of polish, I'm overgrown What feels real is this heart of steel All else surrounds, of fabric, of gown Dressed up nice to masquerade False-tipped smiles, dead parade. The forge burns true, just underneath My love, my Sun, I shall bequeath Hardened and cold, aftermath of the craft Add a little heat and reveal my heart.

Falling silent when I speak Clamour loudly as I weep Stitched up mouth, who am I now? Grunts of pain, the only sound Ignored back then and still today Excluded always, as I fade Then they ask me why I'm quiet I don't choose to sit in silence Are you ok? I'm just fine My reply, a dotted line That which i ask is what I fear Query turned, and so I steer I speak of games, I speak of songs I ignore the list of wrongs All the shadows' whispered words They cause my skull to hurt I am calm, I am the storm In the dark I'll be reborn In my lust I drive away They do not need to stay Woe is me, I'm all alone Typing poems on my phone Isolated by personality Dissociated from reality

Grunts of pain, the only sound Ignored back then and still today Excluded always, as I fade Then they ask me why I'm quiet I don't choose to sit in silence Are you ok? I'm just fine My reply, a dotted line That which i ask is what I fear Query turned, and so I steer I speak of games, I speak of songs I ignore the list of wrongs All the shadows' whispered words They cause my skull to hurt I am calm, I am the storm In the dark I'll be reborn In my lust I drive away They do not need to stay Woe is me, I'm all alone Typing poems on my phone Isolated by personality Dissociated from reality

Mesmerized by what lies inside Dwells in my skull, lives in my mind Showing me, these corrupted dreams Behind my eyes, more than it seems Wilted roses, pouring rain Not a word but the roaring pain Scratching and tearing, flesh left raw Growling and biting and sharpening claws Shining eyes belie rage denied Moonlit skies, moonstruck cries Enraged and entrapped by thorns, kept safe Let us loose, witness our showcase "Your life isn't hard, it has no stress I am kindred, so I know best" Without, surveillance, how could you know I'm all wound up and I'm ready to go! Don't tell me what I have not felt Don't tell me about the cards I've been dealt You suffer too, we both suffocate Can't ease our symptoms unless we medicate! Angry you've been, angry I am! You've walked in these shoes so you should understand! Crimson is our bloodline, destroy what we hate! I hate myself so it's only my fate! Yet tell me I'm joking, call me a mimic It ****** me off so I don't want to hear it! How can you act like you knew all along I don't ******* get it, YOU'RE SO ******* WRONG! Authorities called, was a couple of years Seeing you talking, confirmed all my fears You haven't a clue, you don't understand, I have no filters, I say what I am! When I cry out for help and you tell them I'm fine I can't confess these desires for crime! You say there's no worry, you say I'm okay WHO THE **** ARE YOU TO SAY! You think you know me, you know nothing at all! YOU, KNOW, NOTHING AT ALL! YOU, KNOW, NOTHING AT ALL! YOU, KNOW, ABSOLUTELY **** ALL! So keep on talking, it amuses me so This pain and this anguish, denied by your hope Deluded you are, remember this thought: No such roses, grow such thorns!

Sunken eyes, wretched mind This void I feel is my demise The depths to which can't be described Reality, the biggest lie I wander roads that can't go wrong So will you miss me when I'm gone? I'm right here yet so far away Will you be the one who stays?

"I care for you!" ******* prove it. There's never any greetings, only goodbyes Never true happiness, only darkest nights Whenever you fall quiet I'm the first to ask what's wrong But when it comes to me, the silence stays strong! Who is there for me? Do I really mean so little? I go mad screaming at mirrors, slathered in my spittle! I act out what I want to say, because of all the times You told me, to tell myself I'm worth more than I realise! Something of value isn't easily discarded Something that matters isn't so quickly parted I trusted in your words, they were my final hope Now it's time for the hangman's trick to go and get the rope

"How much do you really care?" "How much do you really wanna know?" "Badly" lights cigarette " Well...let me tell you" You, could, have the worst day and I'd laugh in your face Tell you I told you that joy was erased Look to the sky and be blinded by light... -ning as it crashes down, cuts through the night! Hell's gates could open, and in you would fall And with all your screams, I'd still feel **** all! You could walk off the flat earth and into the void I'd carry on normal, and not paranoid! Turned into ashes, blasted to bits Drowned in a lake, in my face your neck splits Spray me with blood, I won't feel a thing, I'd lap at the crimson, thanks for the feed! Death welcomes all, where life may not want to The curtains will fall, and then you'll see the truth The truth of it is, I only care enough to tell you To yell or to whisper, I won't mourn when they bury you!

It lurks below my consciousness, the beast beneath the bed Tortured by imagination, vivid in my head Strikes without notice, the world is dark and blind To all the ****** massacres that play behind my eyes Victimhood held hostage, convinced manipulation Sickly soul so serpentine, saboteur salvation Left within the grimaced grin, of tormented left demented Suffer so, these chains and ropes, you'll never be accepted Amusement starts to linger, maybe mould, or rot Decaying internally, for he feels the hope is lost So smile, smile, smile, and learn to love the sinner For all that will remain is this twisted, Grim Grinner

I wear the Reaper's desires, hide myself away He cursed me with his shroud, I've become a Wraith I scream ****** ****** his jaw forever grins Everybody dies, and nobody ever wins Short lived is our hope, and so we turn to faith Making up our deities to fill the empty space God can you hear me, howling winds respond I grip a neck of glass, so the numbness is prolonged I hate all I see, and I see myself in all So I watch me **** everyone, in agony they sprawl Nothing left but bloodied grin and scarlet dripping blade The clouds cry my anguish, and pelt the muddy ***** Pretty roses splash and stain, madness left to claim the reins All is shades of darker grey, maroon petals left to fade Desperate fingers claw my flesh, this nightmare will never rest For the shadows, they have spoken...and beast, asleep, has woken...

Mirror mirror, on the wall Tell me how the fallen, fall? Well now, come now, let me show All the pain I've ever known... Mark my words, I marked my skin Thin red lines of crimson sin Seeping through their open wounds The more I made, like blossom, blooms... So I was hollow, devoid of all I am how the fallen, fall Mirror, mirror, just a mask All they'll see is shattered glass...
