Identity
Escence Sep 2016
It used to be quiet here.
In my mind, but now there are voices
I find myself lost in nowhere
They always make my choices
who would I be if
my voices didn't exist?

Sleep Paralysis
Escence Sep 2016
I don't want to go to sleep
Sleep means being dragged into the deep
Its' arms will hold me down
Only so I will not make a sound
I scream in my head
"I am sorry"
But what I say makes
people worry.
I swear, their aren't people in my head
There's just one person
I think he wants me dead
He whispers into my ear
"please do not fear
now let's try this over again"

Get through it
Escence Jun 2016
Times have gotten pretty bad,
But it's our responsibility to get through it,
Yeah life can be pretty sad
But a solution isn't hiding in closets.

I mean sure we all feel some type of pain
But we cannot expect it to just STOP
And although some days are filled with rain
We should try to be at our top

But remember, nobody's telling you to fake a smile
Because what's the use of bringing more pain
You only have one life, so make it worthwhile
And that is all I have to say.
Get through it or get help

Amnesia
Escence Jun 2016
How do I create lyrics
to a song I've never heard
How do I find something
that's never been discovered
So why am I looking for something
that'll never exist
while being stuck
in my mind's abyss

Keys
Escence May 2016
It's a silent world
An empty abyss
Snow around me, whirls
The world's best, just like this
Piano notes dance,
around my head
Every key, intense
Each moment
Piano keys dance
They Prance
Piano keys,
They dance.

Ink
Escence May 2016
Ink
Ink drips off a snow white sketchpad
It seems to form an indistinguishable blob
The artist didn't think it looked that bad
As she breathed in, her heart began to throb

The pencil drew ink as it glided along the canvas
It ranged from blue, grey to white
Until it hit the color of her black abyss
the artist started her internal fight

Her strokes curled into oceans
Each one drew the darkest of blue ink
All her oceans cried broken,
Her art meant more than you think

Paint
Escence Apr 2016
how is it to feel?
and have it all be real
how is it you woe?
and not let people know
How is it you paint?
With those red colors that make you faint
Why is it I care?
you tell me not to, and that's not fair
After all the things we've been through
Why wont you let me paint too?

Time
Escence Apr 2016
They say time travel is impossible
But what they say is not plausible
You don't have to visit your baby crib, to time travel
You don't have to endure all your previous battles
Just bring back the feelings you got from those moments
Because those feelings belong to the past
and the past always lasts

Hypocrisy
Escence Apr 2016
I've always been told to stay true
But what does staying true get me through?
I know blatant hypocrisy when I see it
you who hides your face, and never reveals it
Behind those painted, pretty masks of makeup
Maybe I should try and clean your mess up

After all, real beauty is not in the color of your lips
but in the color of your heart

Canvas
Escence Apr 2016
Swirls of Blue and Black
Filled with memories that take me back
Shading in and constantly erasing
Poking dots in my thoughts and tracing
Coloring cherry red perfect lips
Shading her chest to her curvy hips
But she has no eyes
since she is just like I
Stuck in the void, listlessly
We swim in our consistency

Bloody red
Escence Mar 2016
Rosese are red
Violets are blue
Flowers are dead
And so are you

Well doctor it's like this
Escence Mar 2016
"Well doctor it's like this"
I've been stuck in this abyss
Since I've been depresses
I've been swimming in a plague of sadness
Somebody needs to cure me
No, not cure but secure me
Everybody has a story
Even though mines is lonely
The first two words start with this
" I'm sorry"
Mar 2016 · 205
I . . . am afraid
Escence Mar 2016
I . . . am afraid
To regret
to be aid
to revenge
I feel fear
the end is
near
it's inevitable
this future
it's coming
this moment
I do not want to be aid
But I cannot help but say
"I . . . am afraid"

That
Escence Feb 2016
Through the looking glass
She wonders
If she will end up like that
Like that with her lover
But let's hope like that
will be sooner than never

Heart of glass
Escence Feb 2016
No soul likes falling
no soul at all
Because falling means breaking
your fragile heart

Halls
Escence Jan 2016
She will forever seep down the walls
Her soul and essence are seen in the halls
Her glowing brown eyes and soul watch you
In her eyes, you'll see the pain she's been through

No sound could be heard, no sound at all
As the girl of the past died at dawn

      "you'll die you'll burn maybe then you'll learn"
The **** said to the Jew
  "I'll die I'll burn and maybe then I'll learn what in the world I did to you."

Today is my day
Escence Jan 2016
Today is a day
simple as can be
but for all I know
It was meant for me

For today is the day
I must be free
of restrictions rules
and political parties

Now you should know
how it would be
if you were a little girl
with a chance at liberty

The bird's Story
Escence Dec 2015
On a mission,a bird flew
Dodging rock and branches people threw
Meeting rain and snow as drenched him cold
He loved the sight, but wasn't this bold

The wind was rough the sees were astorm
They swatted him from the sky and watched him mourn
A cold road was where he landed
With paralyzed bones he cried stranded

*Oh beautiful sky you mock my blue
You were my home, now what do I do?
Everyone is passing ignoring my cry
I'd do just anything to fly!

Lacrimosa
Escence Dec 2015
She cried into her sleeves
Holding a child between her arms
She could here the bustling thieves
That wanted to cause this child harm

But no such thing
she will let happen
For as long long as her tears feels
Protection was with this woman

The story of the masochist
Escence Nov 2015
I want to love and remember
I want to hold, if forever
This pain that welcomes me close
The pain that loves me the most

But in this struggle for retribution
There's the wait and anxiety for recreation
The pain of hating what you loved the most
To this feeling I have become the host

The cuts on my wrist, they hurt
But not as how I've been kicked in the dirt
I yearn for the tranquil in pain
I yearn for it to take me away
again...

The grey scene
Escence Nov 2015
Waiting for results
Itching to consult
The fears I have fallen
The fears are growing sullen
Waiting to continue
The fears I'm buried into

But only to retrieve
The dirt that's underneath
Thinking I'm broken
I believe that's under spoken

So leaf subsides to decay
And people attempt to stay
In a world no black nor white
In a world that's painted grey

What's the logic?
Escence Oct 2015
As a child you would listen
As an adult you would speak
and speak and speak
As a child you would listen
and learn and learn
and think
why must we do such things?

Hand to keyboard
Escence Oct 2015
Sometimes I wonder
why the poems I make in my head
aren't as pretty as I sought them to be
Nor as giddy and bubbly
As I thought them to be
But I guess when facing hand and keyboard
It's another story entirely
Oct 2015 · 228
There was a time...
Escence Oct 2015
there was a long time ago
a while when once was born
the future was already sculpted
the past was already torn

The time was when the Earth was fresh
the grass was covered with morning dew
The leaves and grass swayed happily
for that was all they could do

No such thing called man existed
No such thing at all
deceit , treachery , and hate was fiction
And nothing was made with flaw

No child was born with the flaw
only the knowledge of bliss
only taught to crawl
I wonder who taught them this?

A child's  first color is white
not blue or gold or pink
a mans last color is red
the color of the wine he drinks
Sep 2015 · 206
grey
Escence Sep 2015
tears of the far road
scared
of what's down below
afraid
to see what I have created
the evil
in thus our souls been tainted

hollow
Escence Sep 2015
if only dreams existed
and people thoughtlessly drifted
In what we called sleep
where the frogs jumped not leap
where the sun is a pretty shade of blue
where mushroom's grew on faces and shoes

but where did my imagination go?
where are the unicorns and rainbows?
Now I'm entangled in a rose
outside you see a flower
that beautifully grows
inside is an abyss a dark pit
A place where my dreams
used to gallantly drift
Sep 2015 · 198
blue
Escence Sep 2015
the skies are dyed red
for a certain person
the air is filled with dread
for a certain organism

For a certain someone
the clouds are spreading
letting in sunlight
yet still raining

for a certain someone
a child is wearing black
weeping her eyes out
knowing nothing lost

can be brought back
for a certain someone
who never actually grew
for him the skies are dyed red
no longer blue

at 3:18 am the cat's are crying in hunger
at 3:18 am a child has been born
at 3:18 am somebody gained a brother
at 3:18 am somebody touched a thorn

at 3:18 am a pound was gained
at 3:18 am a child became lame
at 3:18 am someone's flushed face drained
at 3:18 am a commoner was framed

at 3:18 am a child cursed fate

a mini Heart theft
Escence Sep 2015
I tell you it's right
but you don't understand
you're still a child my love
won't you please grab my hand?

you're mine dear one
I won't let you go
cast away all this violence
and maybe, possibly grow

Your eyes shined so bright
when I gave you that piece of candy
that contagious smile of yours
might one day come in handy

So please don't die out
You're all I have left
a child who plays with spoons
otherwise known as a mini-heart theft

cloudy dreams
Escence Aug 2015
I dreamed the world was a good place
and that the people were all so nice
who knew even in my dreams
my eyes were clouded

What is justice?
Escence Aug 2015
I spend my days wondering why I existed
What was it I could change?
I spent my hours questioning justice
but was it really worth it?
If justice was as solid as my existence
why is it being questioned?
"**** the murders capture the thieves!"
is what they say
but in reality justice is just the will of people who can change it.
"Justice is what's right"
but do we really know what's good?
Are we really....the intelligent species in this scenario?

Distance
Escence Jul 2015
the ground doesn't seem that far from the roof
but how far is it when you're falling?

forget it!
Escence Jun 2015
forget it
I'm done
I quit
forget it
that insult really bit
forget it
This is what you wanted
just one question to ask
now who will be taunted?

AS YOU WALK AWAY
Escence Jun 2015
yes you were a kind heart
a character who cared for all
but I don't know when or how
you took such a great fall
indeed you were a kind heart
never letting a cat astray
but in this scenario
I'm the cat
and you're walking away

sad things

let me right a poem
about sad things
but nothing sad
is reality
so let me right a poem
about nothing

nothing is pretty boring

I waited for you

Heavenly torture
Escence Jun 2015
glimpses
yes I can see glimpses of your future
yes you see
it is just the unpleasant bore
I know all the things you may abhor
and all the people
you selfishly lured
if you are the deceiver
than come aboard
we'll welcome you to the land
of heavenly torture

little girl with wings
Escence May 2015
there's a little girl with wings
she has light brown hair
and talks of many things
she has honest eyes
but when you see her
know she never lies
that's my little girl with wings
she's very shy
but she loves to sing
though she may cry
I hope you see her
because time flies
tell her I promise
this time I'll never say goodbye

lunar
Escence May 2015
the stars
they frighten me
as the people
bow down to the
yet now 29 years later
the nice people
have become haters
so the stars
are no longer lunar
that only makes them
more scarier

seashells
Escence May 2015
I was struck
on the day of extinction
I was confused
on the day of elimination
the seashells rung
in it's glorious tune
but it seems our opponent
is not immune
So we win the battle
because of the seashells
joyous rattle
Escence May 2015
She had a power
That nobody knew
she had a thing
that could eliminate you
She had the mind
of a million men
but yet
every now and then
despite her horrible vengeance
she silently sat
using her kind intelligence
May 2015 · 363
even if...
Escence May 2015
even if I was tortured
even if I was left behind
even if I was auctioned
or illegally fined
I'll make sure
I make it out of this hell alive
even if it costs me
an assassins heart

Weeping My Poetry
Escence May 2015
I don't turn back
as I stare at the screen
I don't try to crack
some personality in me
I have every inspiration
and it's all for me
even though it goes to a certain degree
I silently sit
weeping my poetry
May 2015 · 228
fate
Escence May 2015
let the rain blow away
let the people yearn to stay
let the cries surround your prey
let us celebrate
our horrible, horrible fate
May 2015 · 284
we'll let you go now
Escence May 2015
let the sun shine
doesn't it look divine
why aren't you smiling
everyone's crying but you
We know you feel the same too
so we'll let you go
a place where nobody knows
we'll set you free
So you can shine with glee
so we'll let the sun beam
and the stars await
you're happy now
isn't this great!

the waitng doll
Escence May 2015
yes I'm still waiting patiently
waiting for someone to return me
I have gained too many enemies
Look at what they have done to me
I'm scratched and I'm bruised
I've been beaten
and I've been used
I've been thrown
and disowned
Although I just hope
my master returns to me
