Young and in love,                she was everything I                wanted and more. We                even had matching tattoos                to prove it.                                   Her parents                thought our love written                in permanent ink                  was a serious issue, but                  little did I know this                ink would turn into nothing more         than scar tissue. Seeing                  a wild night turn bad, we                wish she would have turned                away and ran.                                   But this is where it all began.                                   Engaged on a Friday night,    her friends wanted to do something special for her bachelorette    party.                   They leave for Italy, and      I'm overwhelmed with fear,                but her best friend puts me at ease,       for I know her intentions are                  innocent and sincere.                                   At a bar, everybody is soaking                in the joy, laughing, and having            a good time.                                   But when sweaty Latino dudes climb   into the picture, everyone                  starts to separate. She's got a bad           feeling about this.                                   The dude next to her                is getting a little touchy                feely, and she can sense                trouble, on account he will not                get out of her personal bubble.                    He offers her drinks, and                she thinks...                                 "Why not? It's harmless, right?"                                 Little does she know that the                dude buying her this drink is                totally insane, and when                she passes out, he's going to                take her home                and run a train.                                   8 Latinos, 4 blacks,                and two whites each                have their five minutes.                                   Naked and battered,                  she now lies                  helplessly shattered.                                   She may have survived,                but during that night                  a piece of her had died.                                 Not wanting to be touched,  and not wanting to be seen, she can't stand the sight of her being a recluse.                So she takes a bottle of pills                and is found hanging from              a noose.

Smother
Painting a black  rainbow underneath  a falling sky, it's mist  consumes and eradicates  your last breath, your  last hope.  They pour the drink  you are forced to drink,  and feed the flesh you  are forced to eat.  Taught to be stupid, and  raised to be nothing,  what's left to do, except  make a noise so loud, fame  will hear you.  Your dreams will tell you what to do.  bang  bang  Congratulations

Infamous
A young man sits in deep contemplation, plotting to escape her clutches. She beckoned, and he couldn't refrain. Now he's entrapped, serving his dark lorde. Not as glamorious and not as it has promised. What used to be his refuge is now the leach, draining him dry. He came as the archer, now he's leaving an empty shell, void of any emotion and sentaion. starting as pain, turning into pleasure, leaving him.... Beaten Broken Shattered Numb The breast that once nourished, is now the *** tantalizing cracked lips, and burning ones throat. Over and over until one has drinken into obvlivion. Though he is forever in her debt, his heart and soul still show promise. What has been devoured has not yet been killed. Hand in hand, she turns to see his eyes veer. The darkness may have striked, but of the countless it has consumed, the odds of him prevailing fair pretty well.

Ascending from the dark
All the great minds I       have come to         know are now consumed           by the unoriginal.        I choose not to look, for        the looks on their dying        faces seem very           pitiful.                      Pen in hand, I work           endlessly, knowing        these  words will           carry me out of the        middle world, a place           where I have failed          the people who         see through me.           I'm sorry, but a working           class hero is not something           I wish to be.                   My friends think it's        unacceptable, but here I sit,        telling you that dying is        inevitable.                   It's these words        that carry me to a           place that's magical,           where all my thoughts,        ideas,           and innovations        are not deemed           impractical.                     No money, no fame, and no           security, this is who           I truly am, naked to the           very core. All the        possibilities projected        on me seem like nothing,           but a bore.                   Pen being my           only weapon, my imagination           runs wild and free, for  it is           the only way I can make people        see.                      I pour this drink, in           hopes I can cope and mend,           while the people laugh at        the ideas they can't        seem to comprehend.                      Continuing  to double    check these answers,  thinking on whether           I should be consumed           by all the hate, while I        contemplate my fate,        and self  medicate.                     In a reality where           I can't unwind, I        attempt to break free,        trying not to look back           at the family I have           left behind.                   These endorphins        continue flowing, and there           are no signs of me slowing,        in a drunken haze, where        I choose not to reminisce        the cost, but rather, I  pour this drink, and    cheers to all        the friends          I have lost.

We're born,  we live, we  die.        Upon arrival,    they give us    numbers, and    inject the    system into    our veins.         We're given      a name and told    what is wrong    and what is right,    how to act, and how    to live       We remain in their    ideological    prison, without    asking ourselves..         Why?       We're not safe. They will always turn a blind eye to our loud cry.           Conditioned  to produce in    a capitalistic world. It's about time we rise up and revolt or fema camps will be our end result.         programmed to follow    the rules and smile    when our eyes look    sad, let's  mount up and    rock big brothers    Iron clad.         We built this country    with our bare hands, but they    took what was ours and      made it theirs. Now we're      under their demands.           Don't be    another sheep    in the herd,    let your mind    be heard.         We don't    have two eyes.    There's    such thing    as a third.         We're not just    some number.    One day we'll  rise up and you'll    feel the wrath of    our thunder.

Each session was  an hour and a half  of pain.  Little did I know the true  hurt would still remain.  What I perceived as thoughtful  and deep turned out to be  my worst enemy who even  watches me sleep.  In my dreams I'm able to stray,  but when I awake I know you  are here to stay.  I will cut, claw, and scrape as  I may. But all efforts are to  no avail for you will never  be kept at bay.  Sitting in regret is not  time well spent, there's  nothing more I can do,  so I shall repent.  There will come a time where  I will no longer be your slave.  Soon you'll just be three layers  of ink that will diminish in my grave.  No longer will I be consumed with sorrow  because where I go I know you will never follow.

Three layers of ink
Hand in hand the skies  Were blue. There was a lot  between me and you.       But now the skies have turned    to crimson red  that spills from     my wrist when I fall into this  bed.       You were the one who taught me    How to feel. Now that you're gone,    I'm my worst enemy who I want    to ****        Nowhere to go and no place     to hide, some place far    away is where I choose    to reside.        Living like a square is     no longer my taste.     I drive away with this glock    strapped to my waist.        People can say what they     want to say. Their opinions     are not valid and are kept far away.        As the people you love look at me with     such disdain, I continue     to fill with all this pain.        A pain that cuts to my very core,    whats  left of my heart is now an open    Sore.        No reassurance from the stars for     they are all fading. My death is what I'm now contemplating.        The end is easier to     Embrace as I pour this glass and self medicate while my angel's have    lost their grip and are about ready to vacate.         Before they retreat to the sky, I surrender and let them hear my cry.        HELP

All my life I've tried to fit in, and felt that being an outcast was a total sin. But as I've grown wiser, I've realized that fitting in is what I fear the most. I'd rather be a caged freak at a traveling circus, than another sheep in the herd, trapped in a world of hate, a place where the word "love" is brandished about, and where people thrive off of problems, not solutions. With each passing note, my true essence will pour onto the floor, like a wounded bird that won't stop bleeding, while the audience listens to the sound of my very own soul quietly fleeting. Urging we, the people, to show our true colors not with shame, or fear, but with pride and honor. Don't feed me another line. Give me back what- 's rightfully mine, so I shall put it on display for the world to see the true me. Knowing art to be my only religion, and God as my only creator, I no longer feel sinful and regretful, for I know that he has made me to be colorful

No longer will I hang from a string I now seek refuge under my angels wing I am less filled with self hatred my youthful spirit has been liberated                      I ignore what they project onto me.I do not have two eyes. I have three  Don't care what people say  It's better to die young than  slowly  fade away. Been hospitalized four times,  but I'm still spilling these rhymes. No need to re-write my history,  my strength will shine through  and you'll see my adversity.   Though I wasn't dealt the best hand,   prosperity and growth is what   I still demand.    I look within, and see that I'm  in harmony with the universe,  for I have fought long and hard to  reverse this curse.
