Crimson colored lips stain a pale and sickened face
Upon her heart is the word ‘disgrace’
Shunned for her sins, loved for her flaws
Loved in a sense of voice, but her physical form unleashes claws
Eyes are like dagger, harsh against her skin
Too many judgemental stares, too many wonder where she has been
Fighting a battle within she tried to walk tall.
Making herself false promises about how it would get better, how she could end it all.
All the pain and suffering, all the hate and rage.
But what kind of fool believes they could break a steel cage?
Steel does not bend, nor does it break.
She should have stayed silent, she should have kept low for her own sake.
But she spoke up, seared by her own pain.
Now the truth was unleashed, and it left a cruel blood stain.
Not her own blood, but that of an old friend.
She’d never forgive herself for not being there for him in the end.
The last words whispered were that of a fight.
Echoing like screams all through the night….
That one moment changed it all.
She lost her wings and was destined to fall.
I wonder constantly as I sit alone
About the things inside me that have been shown
The foul feelings of compassion in which I wish to hide
The love may be gone but my lust has not died.
Lex now hates me, so do you.
No need to deny it, my family does too.
Everyone I know hides their disgust behind kind smiles.
For such disappointment follows me for miles.
Tear up this beating monstrosity locked within this withered bone cage.
Unlock the hinges upon my mind and allow the full force of my rage
Cut the strings in which control my life
Or I shall cut them with the blackened blade of death’s knife

The fear to lose everything you ever wanted... the fear to lose the love you gave to me so I'm going to lock every single memory deep in my heart

How are you?
I'm alright I guess...

Where do we begin?
Maybe at the start of this mess.

Are you uncomfortable?
I can't say that I'm not.

Is it your past?
Well it's all I've got.

Do you still get nightmares?
Well I used to...

Will you let them show?
Depends on you...

What do you hope to accomplish?
I don't know... Peace of mind?

Would you have done things differently?
Everyone wants the chance to push "rewind".

Care to elaborate?
Let's just say I would've liked to be braver.

What do you mean?
I should've stood up to my father...

Did he abuse your trust?
He did more than just that...

Rob you of your freedom?
Let's see... His belt, cigarettes and also boiling water out of a vat.

Do you wish him ill?
I wished him dead.

"Wished"?
Yeah...in his bed.

Why "wished"?
Because I wanted that then...

For how long?
Since I was ten.

What about now?
(
Maniacal smile) I am now... At peace.

"At peace"?
I have found release.

You have?
Yes... I couldn't resist the urge.

Urge to do what?
To comply with the voice... "
Freedom...lies in the purge..."

You left your father?
Yes but not before...

Go on...*
Not before I slit his throat with a smile on my face as I shut the door...
Inspired a programme I watched on the crime channel.
What's up with all the depressing poems young people are writing on this site?

Go out, take a deep breath of the fresh mountain air or the salty sea breeze
Talk to people, have a laugh, look someone in the eyes
Read a book,
You're alive!
Steamy hot

With an appreciation
for fine music
Tells it like it is

Always
do you bring
a smile to warm the heart

Always do you bring joy and pleasure
with your poetry
A good day, today was a good day
Laughter and joy came out to play
But happiness can never stay
Depressed. Literally for no reason.
Yay.
