American I Love To Write. Remember my Name I will be famous one day
A Snake slither’s from my mouth, through shaking fingers. What bile will I spew next? Panic builds in the corners of my soul The Demon’s clash, sick with laughter Drowning in self loathing thoughts “I didn’t mean it like that” Their eye’s bombard the blockade of my smile Trapped inside myself, my own personal hell The Demon’s whisper terrible thoughts in my ear The tender caress of my loyal enemies Cat calls of the broken hearted Strong reminders of the worth, I don’t have The Snake coils around my throat. I don’t dare fight back The Demon’s are stronger than us all They hold hands as they dance around my mind Laughing at everything I do Everything I say Everything I dare to think Making sure I remember who I am worthless. ugly. stupid. Unloved I still can hear their laughter As the Snake crawls back down my throat Nestling in the depths of my soul A terrible reminder of the weight I bare Endless nights, reliving endless days Faded into a whisper “He won’t love you because of me”

The Snake
Tangled in Desire and Depression regulated by hostility and sin whilst those truly guilty run wild; Controlling their prey I see what you're doing all the familiar games, we used to play jealous of the love I possess ******* happiness like blood the pain no one helped me through darkened nights: tear drops on broken glass the shattered remains of the girl I was surround the monster I have become Punch me, Cut me, make me Bleed just don't break my heart stitches and way too many shots falling, deep into my blackened soul forget who I have killed don't remember the hearts I kept taste the flesh under your teeth then go home before...it's...all...gone screams that echo through the night shows the terror I feel, every time my eyes shut pain from the past that won't let me go I wish I could accept the future but my mind still aches with fear torn in two by love and pain dancing to a bittersweet melody of self mutilation

Tangled
Dark Posters of Skeleton Brides Video Game pings, and Overflowing Drinks As Unusual People lay on Hand Me Down Couches with Tobacco strewn all over my Mom's Old Coffee Table Barely Voices , No Conversation. Just BOOM, BOOM BOOM! before I sing aloud Screams of Joy, "Traplawd Rules" Kisses on my Nose, Giggling a Little too Loud Laughter Proceeds Coughing, Funny girly high kicks ***** Get Drunk"* They tell me, Ah the friends I have Ragged Carpets over Soft Broken Love Seats Rough Tobacco stuffed Into Cigarette Tubes as He Softly Kisses my Arm **** stubble, tattooed skin** ***** Stings, Tabacco burns Leaving even Baked Goods with a Smokey Flavor

A Night at Their House
Dear Dad Fighting through what seems like impossible struggles I find myself needing your strength The valor that dictates your life, to keep me moving forward Honor and Integrity, those words you taught me Helping me realize that I can be strong You supported me and have always loved me For every weird and awkward angle You make me laugh, and you taught me right from wrong Lessons learned, to be forever remembered. Years from now when time is short I want you to read this poem And remember how you raised a little girl To the woman I have become I will hold your hand and tell you I love you Through all the hard times ahead But Daddy, please remember I will love you till the end.

Dear Dad
Nothing is what it seems. It's sad when the butterflies in your stomach let you down Starting to realize your not worth it At least no one feels your worth it Pretending to be strong Standing up for myself When I desperately want to fall. Trying to clear a clouded mind Intuitive heart alterations.

modern day sly butterflies
The dream always starts the same way Me slowly drifting down the old river A cigarette in my mouth and A boy calling my name My hair flowing behind me A perfect blend of red and gold Seductively cute lifeless smiles The river keeps curving round and round Down I fall into a convenient rabbit hole The water tainted with my attitude Purposefully tempting me to go Down Down Down The feelings don't go away Just because you wish they would New feeling bloom like beautiful flowers Eyes sparkling with newly inspired desire Waiting for the curtain to rise, and the act to begin

The River
Life is a series of links between fantastic moments & unforgettable memories: The moment a stranger pays you kindness or the feel of a unknown first kiss, with the passion of faded possibility. Drenched feelings, what's right and what do I feel, playing around with a new expression; An expression of self degradation: The lovely bruises that litter my skin shouldn't bring me such wonder. But I remain here,   pleading with my heart to stay the bittersweet skips, as I wait for you to pull me closer, but it never seems to listen:   Dark prince, you play with a damaged mind, one riddled with everyone's problems, and suppresses all her own. In a game unknown to all but the puppeteers; Dark Prince, with a whole new world of ideas, your intoxicating passion rattles me deeper then I dare mention.   But still; I beg my heart to stay it's hand as life moves on and Dark prince, with words like nurturing bee stings and lips of pure statin drowned in honey, you are a comforting reminder of a new door opening. Dark Prince, pull me closer and hold me tighter, is it too much to ask for you to protect me from the onslaught of all to clear nightmares. For minds and hearts such as mine, aren't unfamiliar with the cruel hand, and hollow kisses from a lovers lips with the taste of an old romance, the tales of woe never interested me anyway. Dark Prince, Words are my knives, the only way I can voice what's really inside. The final defense of a forgot but painful war. Take this proclamation with the gentlest of kisses. For my Dear Dark Prince, we are only at the beginning.

A heart full of dark desires Playing with my own personal fires Burns and bruises litter my skin Where has my sanity been Forever dancing in the flames All of my ***** twisted aims

Playing with Fire
Overflowing coffee cups Ancient cigarette butts Bittersweet romances Trying to stop myself from quitting Forever doing the devil's bidding

The Devil's Bidding
Skipping through the rain forgetting all the pain Dance like you have nowhere to be Dance like your dancing with me. A midnight chance is all I need An overwhelming lustful greed Follow me through the darkest night Dreading the dawn, when all I have left is to write
