I'm shaped like an Mexican Coke
Come on baby take a sip of me
I'm the acid that burns your throat
I'm the hint of ******* makes your heart beat
Because I'm young but my soul dates back to before 1903
I'm wise and wild, forever roaming and free
I'm the forsaken lemon you just want for the fluids inside
Squeeze me alittle harder
Don't be afraid to take a bite
My bitterness will only make you stronger
The sugar you sprinkle on me is the only things that makes me sweet
Though I make your head spin and ruin your teeth I'm still your tall glass of Lemonade
Or at least that's what you think

I'm everything you're craving
I'm you're ***** and I'm your lady and you can't get enough of me baby
I'm your upper and I'm your downer
But you don't care because either way you're high
I'm your Kite and I'm your anchor
But you say even in the sea you can fly

I'm the last drag of your cigarette but it was the last in your last pack
I'm the girl you can't forget but the girl you don't want back
I'm the taste you love but your pallete cant determine its origins
I'm the the girl who cut you deep but you always forgive
I'm the first hit of a joint
Always the purest
But still I tar your lungs and you tell me it's worth it
I'm your shot of ***** with too much milk
I'm a torn new sheet made of silk
I'm you're glass of orange juice with your chocolate cake
I'm the burnt side of a fluffy pancake
I'm the itching rash that torments you
I'm the parasite feeding off you to live
I'm pity you for being willing to forgive

Typical you
Thinking the world owes you something
Everything is supposed to be beautiful
But you sit and do nothing

You string along the guys
Everyone thinks they have chance
But once you've fed you need for attention
You don't even give them a second glance

You lie and you curse
You sabotage yourself
Just so you can say your life is worse
And that its hurting your health

Typical you

You say you're heart is broken
Yet you've never been in love
You think you're so innocent
But sweetheart, you're no dove

You go to church
Yet when leave it's all forgotten
You claim you have nothing
But you're spoiled rotten

You have people whom love you
Yet still lonely you stay
How do I help you
Do we have to runaway?

Why cant you face your demons?
What is the skeleton in your closet that so hard to clean out?
Cant you see that actually living is what life is supposed to be about?
Typical you
Ugh
Astounding Nov 2013
Ugh
You kiss me and you pull me close
You pretend you'll never let me go
But I know something you don't know
You can see it in my eyes
But you wouldn't know because you never look into them

When you hold me in your embrace,
I look over your shoulder for a dream to chase
So I can forget that I'm in your arms
And if you could just see my face
When I'm in that dreadful place
You'd understand why I didnt let you in  

We never talk
You never asked me on a date
Yet you bury your face into me shirt
Say you want to make me squirt
You don't even attempt to flirt
You just see my body and assume it owes you something
Thats why, when you try to turn me on, it does nothing
  
So don't pull me closer
And tell me to "Just come on"
Rarely do I do what I'm told
I don't fall for these tricks anymore
I've gotten too old

So get out of my room
Get out of my head
Did you even understand a word I just said?
Go disappear for another two months
Your illusions don't you preserve
And next time don't come back and try to take what you don't deserve.

Remember how we used to stay up and talk all night
Take tequila shots and laugh about life
Jumping on the couch and having pillow fights
Living wild and free on the Summer Nights

Caught skinny dipping so we had to run
Getting tattooed and hiding from the sun
Staying at the parties until the clean up is done
People used to tell us we had too much fun

We used to smoke hydroponic **** and stay in
Wrestle and play around until one of us got pinned then we’d make love all night and wake up and do it again
Astounding Aug 2013
You looked in my eyes
And I showed you my soul
Someone to confide in
Befriending you was my goal

I poured out my heart
Watched as the steaming liquid turned to ash
You had made it vanish
My burdens lifted at last

But you gathered the ashes
When my back was turned
You threw them in the blaze of the public
And I felt my shame start to burn

You ****** the venom out of me
And then bit me right back
I can't believe you betrayed me
Now my dignity I lack

Don't worry I've learned my lesson
And I will let this go
But I assure you
I'll never let you know
Astounding Dec 2020
She’s a Vandal to her happiness
Her mighty weapon brings defeat
Her mind is an Claymore Of Daggers
Tears stream down as she feels a sudden click at her feet
Suddenly her World’s blown up
It just couldn’t take the heat
She decides to hide it with make up that she aggressively smears on her cheeks

Waterproof mascara and three squirts of make-up setter and then she puts her game face on and pretends she’s all better
She goes to the store
She walks the dog
She blows her husband
And pretends that there is no shrapnel fog inside of her brain
Digging and etching in deeper the pain
Of knowing she is the blame from her own self destruction
Letting her troubles build up until she’s a walking Volcanic Eruption

She looks in the mirror
Who are you?
Who is the woman I see?
She’s smirking with her plaster mask and customer service voice on high permanently

Could she still withstand a storm
Or has it swallowed her whole
Or maybe she swallowed it and it bellows down in her soul
Astounding Jan 2014
I got up this morning and took a shower
Put on my makeup for almost an hour
All in the hopes that someone would give me a second glance
Possibly meet the love of my life by chance
But no one turned
My stomach churned
No one looked up
My heart is saying to just give up
The man I thought would love me only loves himself
I'm having urges to cut myself

Why am I not good enough?

It must be me
Something within me that people don't see
Both my siblings are happily in love
I try to to patient, to wait for the right guy
But It's killing me, always fighting back the urge to cry..
Astounding Jun 2020
There was a night I spent in a room alone with a woman whom poured gasoline over her head and set herself on fire
All through the night she cried and moaned
Making the fact that she was forced to keep her life more bitter
Bandages pulled at her wounds and scissors were needed to remove them
I could not point her out today for she to me now would be unrecognizable
Laying in a bed next to this woman for making the same attempt but with a bathtub and a toaster
Somehow us wanting to be apart strangely made us closer
The nurse came in to change the sticking bandages every few hours
Every time and for minutes later this poor woman would scream
I had a book of cowboy poems that they had provided for us to read
For when the nurses left the room and her groans of sorrow quieted down
I read this beautiful woman a poem to help her lay her head down
I sat reading to her all night
For I had nothing better to do
That’s when I realized that in this life all sorrows are the same
Her name or the place I can’t recall
And I’m not sure I can legally say
I will never forget that night that poetry gave me back my purpose in my life
And lifted someone’s spirt when we were both in hell
I will write forever so others can hear and feel poets story’s
I promise you it’s worth the while for those who think it’s boring
Pinky swear or take my life true. P.s I haven’t been suicidal in years and I meant I’m promising you so that means you could take my life is I was lying. Yeah, this poem gave that comment mixed signals.

I walked through fields of skulls and sit and watch rose petals fall
Darkness consumed it all
and me
I was the dominant
Your mischievous mistress
Now black smokes bellows off of my dress
I’m your ghostly Elfin beauty

I dreamt of tender kisses and your boyish wishes
But you dreamt up something vicious
And unleashed my inner monstrous  
Now there is no way for you to escape this

Welcome to my throne
The crime you committed has made it now my home
Have an apple now
Come one, come on
Take one
Come on, come on
Welcome to my thrown
You thought there’d be nothing left of me but bones
Cackle with me now  
Come one, come on
Fine, run
Come on, come on
The chase is fun

Out in the woods you fled
Branches trying to knock you dead
Their turning to limbs inside your head
Don’t touch me! You scream
Now I’m not far behind
I can see your spirits light
It’s guiding me through the night
But it’s dimming
I won’t say it doesn’t hurt me to see you fear me
It’s okay cause when you fear me is when you feed me

Welcome to my throne
The crows and candles make it home
I’ve almost got you now
Come on, come on
So close
Come on, come on
Don’t mistreat your host

I’ve caught you by the hand
You dig your fingers in the the fallen ashes, it’s not sand
My force to pull you try to withstand
You can’t be freed
Gliding across the ground
Leaving a trail toward the Hell-bound
So scared you don’t make a sound
Now you belong to thee
I’m sorry I don’t mean to hurt you
It’s just my virtue
Welcome to my throne
The crows and candles make it home
Time to say goodbye
Come on, come on
Shhh
Come on, come on
Gone with an whoosh
I’m a very happy person now, I just like to write such dark poems. Might edit later cause I lost the words toward the end.

If the world ended today
If everything was suddenly just swept away
What would be the last thing you wish you would've had the chance to say?
Astounding Jan 2014
I don't understand small talk
I need to know something deep
I crave to know whats in your heart
I crave for you to know what's in me

Who am I exactly?
I think I've lost the string on the ring
Am I a rebel?
Am I a *****?
Where is the man who is waiting at my door?

I am getting on my last nerve
My eyesight needs to be stirred
I can hear their every word
"Who does she think she is?"
"Is she who she says she is?
Am I who I say I am?

I had the experience of everything I wanted
It felt real
It was all I wanted
Just for that moment
Something please be real

My hearts ****** up
I mean, I don't know what the hell is going on
Its singing a foreign song
The world is you
Your world that you so deeply withhold
Its like mining for gold
And the climate is too cold


I feel so free
But so confused
Bight colors everywhere
Flashing beams of lights
The world our stage
I tripped over the curtain
And with my self, the my universe hit the ground
Astounding Oct 2013
One for the encounter
One for the false fame
Two for the shame of loosing at her own game.
One more to make it look pretty.

How did you get those scars?
Better think of something witty.

She watches the hurt ooze out in crimson streams
She bites into the pillow that muffled her screams
Ah, the sting, it brings her pleasure
The rusty smell of blood is something she treasures
Look how each **** lay gracefully upon her thigh
When she gazes upon them she gets a euphoric high

The razor glides smoothly upon her supple skin
That one wasn't deep enough
Better go over it again.

She claws and digs until the hurt in her heart has disappeared
Then she stares at her masterpiece
A poetic type of weird

One day he'll come along
And kiss the scars she's engraved in her skin
Tell her she's beautiful and deserves more than this sin
She'll dig her fingers into his flesh
And get a release that they'll share
She will be his every care

Love will be the only thing that oozes out
And she will finally know what all the fuss was about
Astounding May 2014
I've done all this to myself;
And gee, wasn't it "some kind of ride.."?
They all say I've got so much potential,
But I seem to have misplaced my mind.
Awe..

I'm okay.
Seriously. "Hahah!
It happens all the time.."

****!
I am always letting the people I love down.
I rarely write anymore. Compared to the apparent standards.
The root for all my actions I still haven't found.
Yet I am brave enough to say that I let them pass me around..

Anyway..

I try to draw and paint,
But, absolutely nothing truly inspiring or motivational comes to mind.
Also, ugh um , I'm a little more than a wee bit bad at drawing what I see in my head.

But I love art.
Sometimes it just says what words cannot.
God knows I could use help expressing my feelings.
I'm selfish.
Oh! That reminds me, good luck guessing my next move. ;)

Hahah, admit it. That transition was pretty smooth.


Teehee

Feeling pretty playful.
Too bad I'm such an ***!
Why don't I feel guilty for my actions?..

Because I behaved the way I felt and I did it with passion.

**But, seriously.
Astounding Dec 2013
There's a girl with her head pressed against the window
She's fogging up the glass
There's a boy with a heart so big, but no one would know
He rarely goes to class
Everyday they see each other
Everyday they stare
Secretly wanting one another
But talk to each other, they don't dare
He sees within her the hidden sorrow
She sees within him his checkered past
Both live like there is no tomorrow
Both have found their soul-mate at last
But cliques and reputation have kept them apart
When did this trend of having to please everyone else even start?

It's sad that fear can hinder us
And take away our chance at love's affections
It hurts to know most encounters are full of lust
And we're too busy criticizing our own reflections
When will we see that its not all about looks?
When will personality come into play?
When will romance exist like it does in the books?
Why do I see people looking through each other everyday?
Are we not all fellow human beings?
Don't we all cry?
So many people say hurtful things
And my question is why?
How can you live in an endless universe and not want to explore the worlds in those around you?
Cant you see the boundless diversity that surrounds you?
This world is full of life and beauty
There is wisdom and there is nature
We should celebrate by doing things for our community
We are not promised a future
I have seen darkness
But I have also seen the light
For the feeling and the joy of love, I will fight
If you have a dream then follow it
**** what everyone else has to say
Through the hardships wont you submit?
The beauty and the tragedy is that today could be your last day
Astounding Aug 2014
When you wake, my love, think of my lips;
how the corners quiver ever so slightly right before I flash a great big smile. Let your hand rest on the pillow where the curves of my face would usually reside and imagine I'm there;
if just for awhile.
Let the breeze that kisses your cheeks, fresh with the scent of morning dew, carry the words that echo with every beat of my heart to yours,
so that you will wake every morning knowing that I love you.
Astounding Nov 2013
I watch you through the window's glass,
Running alongside the car

My breath fogs up the image
Like my heart, the place where your face should be has become icy cold
The fog retracts and you're nowhere to be found

Your footsteps, loud and strong in my mind, were a fictional sound

Where are you?
Do we not look at the same moon?
Do you not think the same things I do?
Are our souls not in tune?

I daydream about you all the time
We are cast in a love that is divine

We take bubble baths and drink bottles of wine

All I want is your kisses
All I need is your love
My soul is crying
The tears of a dove

Oh, the aching
Touch me
Let our love be pure
Heaving heart, where is your other half?

Wandering around aimlessly
Searching
Finding false treasures
giving in to guilty pleasures

Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Astounding Jan 2014
There's something cooking in my brain, but I'm intrigued by what it may boil
Ripples cover the picture frame, through pouring tears my vision foils
The clock has stopped breathing, where is the beloved Tick and Tock?
The black curtains are freezing, or could it be my cold blooded hands that caused the shock?
I've taken nothing to be in this portrait
Looking at it, all you can see is sin
I am who I am
I've done what I've done
Go ahead, be a *****..
See what you become
Your reflection will taunt you:
"Show me that chest.
Lets see what he might find tomorrow under that dress.
Oh, you look so good!
Love the red lips..
But the best part is when you're naked and they compliment your hips."


The money is on the nightstand
Adventure is all you crave
Just for one day..
Don't be a slave
This addiction is pleasure
But it brings so much pain
I lie and I cheat my family and disappoint my friends
But hey... I'm selfish and occasionally vain
I'm getting ready to go on the town, today will not be a waste
I have something that I want.
And when there is something I want, I go for the chase..
Until next time. :)

They float like butterflies in the breeze.
Their flutters ping chills upon my skin.
Tenderly they caress my soul.
I know something is about to begin.
Oh heart, never let go. Let all the fears fade away.
Your words still lingering my ears, enrapturing me to this day.

Whisper to me. Churn my mind.
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off on a cloud of love.
The closest thing to the heavens above.

We sway and dance, fingers entwined.
Your ripe lips tango with mine.
You brush my hair from my cheek and smirk the way you do.
Our love unique with all that we've been through.
Tell me the sweet nothing's I'm longing to hear.
I can feel the love in the air.

Whisper to me. Churn my mind.
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off on a cloud of love.
The closest thing to the heavens above.

My soul it sings for you, fingertips searching the wind.
Your voice echoes in my heart. Let our journey begin.

Whisper to me (whisper to me).
Churn my mind. (Soft, elegant whispers in the background).
Help me to see that you are mine.
Drift me off (drift me off) on a cloud I'd love (love, love, love).
The closest thing to the heavens above...
Astounding Apr 2014
I walk on broken hearts
Venturing through ruins in hopes of finding treasure
People say I'm better than this
And It's sad, because there will always be someone better

But who saves those who are supposedly less grand than they?
No one.
They just continue on with their day.
And those who are broken can only find what they've already found
And they get ****** into the cycle. Spinning 'round and 'round.
Because no hero came.
Because no one wanted to get mixed up with their name.
Reputation has become more important than salvation
And life has become nothing more than recreation

We are all significant
We are all unique
None better than another
None too good to help the weak

Reach your hand into the darkness,
And pull someone into the light
Save a soul
Do what is right.
Astounding Jul 2020
Looking back at it all now
I feel somethings I must get off my chest
I guess some may not understand why misery I wanted so badly to posses
I guess you could say that I was possessed
I cas so badly compelled to **** the world back
I wanted to prove I could do whatever the **** I wanted and that I wasn’t going to hold back
I wanted to prove these things because of abuse that I had held within in the dark caverns of my mind
The core from at times I speak and leave those who loved me slack jawed and blind
I spoke a lot, unlike these current days, about myself and opinions
Now the impulse to just comes in waves
I had the body of an ******* devilish angelic perky priestess
I guarantee myself one day again I’ll be that way again
I took my revenge at a wicked cost of my everything
I enjoyed most every minute of it
I will never be that young again
I hope to never influence any man, woman, nor child to not speak their mind when peace will be their solemn  outcome
I do not want others to fear me
Unless they **** with my cubs, my Wolf Hearted Soulmate, or Whatever The ******* Have The Audacity To Take Without My Will From My Life Within My Constitutional Rights

Within the Wicked Edge, their is a drive within you that will take you wherever you want it to lead
Whether you know it or subconsciously
Remember to fill your head with joy and not everything you get wrong or what secret you decide to keep that your future holds more than the heartaches you hold so deep
Last Poem to Close the Book On My Past
You
Astounding Dec 2013
You
Float away my mind
Oh, sweet wisps of freedom

At first glance I saw your soul
The tender ***** of your hand
When you kissed me in the moonlight I could barely stand
That kiss that is oh so potent
The sweet caress of your lips
I savor the taste of your love with little sips
I run my fingers through your hair
Your arms around my waste
There's nowhere I'd rather be than in this treasured place
Your smile makes my head spin
My heart is beating fast
Our possibilities are endless and vast
Even in my dreams you're perfect
You never cause me harm
You just smirk they way you do and enchant me with your charm
We are our own force of nature
When I'm in your presence the sun burns even hotter
Our passion could ignite the world if we bothered
So here's to you, you handsome and brilliant man
*There's no one else I'd choose in all the land
Astounding Aug 2013
I will overcome you
What I fear I have already done
I will hold my head high
I will love every aspect of myself
I will no longer run
I won't let your looks bring me down
I have been minimized by you long enough
I have broken out of your cage
And flown and explored beyond its bounds
You are nothing but my past
I will stop dwelling on you
I will stop letting you appear in my mind
For you have no hold over me
I am stronger than you

— The End —
