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

Clones
Escence Apr 2015
Aren't I one of a kind
But they say we're all the same
We all grow up then we'll soon
Perish oneday
What's up with my DNA
isn't that what makes me different
This isn't how its supposed to be
I was told I was perfect
So it seem bones
Are the same as the clones
My personalities everyday
They're all indifferent

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

Crows
Escence Feb 2015
people are watching me
waiting for me to fail
looking for a chance to beat me at what I do best
but I'm good at nothing
so then what is there to beat me at
beat me to the river
hallway
'till I refuse to handle life
to **** me before I **** myself

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

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

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

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

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

How to smile
Escence May 2015
I think I forgot to tell you about me
but I wanted to talk about the skies!
Although I probably forgot to feed the cat
but look at those butterflies!
Please forgive me for starving the dog
I promise I won't let him die
but now everyday I just can't seem-
to stop wondering why
why everyone seems to hate
my joyous outcries
We're not poo rand we're not starving
so why do they refuse to keep on smiling
I don't see what's wrong with it
In fact it's not a sin
If you don't know how to smile
it starts from with in

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

Metamorphosis
Escence Mar 2015
watch tear drops dripping down your face and into an unseen world
As you're swallowed up by everything in sight
I...don't know what to do
Everything's changed
nothing will ever be the same
I could have easily been ignored
but it's okay my life was merely over anyway
I bet no ones ever heard me say this before
but life was better dying on the floor

Fantasy
Escence Apr 2015
Stuck in the flowers
the deep ugly stealers
purple and pink
vibrant as a heart
naïve eyes
shining like a star
Miles away you  see
vibrations flows from head to feet
Creating theories in your head
That they were perfect
and life was stead
Feet away you see
flowers are dying
and mosquito's feast
Crows are flocking
clouds are forming
Inches away you see
The naïve eyes
are fading  from glee
what happened to the cake
candy and party
You look on dejected as can be
You wondered why going to America
was everyone's fantasy

Mirror, mirror on the wall
Escence Mar 2015
mirror , mirror on the  wall
who's the nicest of them all
the one who stands proud and tall
the one who saves you from the ball
now look for
a place to crawl
because you're not the mirror on the wall

Heavenly torture

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

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

So I may never see you again
till death
can we still be friends
now why are you on your knees
and now you say
your love will never cease
you bend down and say please!
must I use telepathy?
because I love you
and it will never cease
Love is a word
that doesn't use emoji's
Now, I beg you to marry me

what exactly do you do
when people cry
don't you ever wonder why
it seems they've lost all life
but with words
of the severely unheard
may calm an empty mind
and bring back a purified life
that was never meant to cry

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?

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...

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"

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

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

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

Escence Feb 2015
people are there
then they're not
they disappear in a land called
the crowd
they whisper beautiful words to you at night
then wouldn't care if your alright
they hurt and break your swollen heart
then they ask what they've done wrong
you tell them
trust is such a fragile thing
and you've broken it
so why try to mend it

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

because all you say is nonsense
Don't tell me these dumbs lies
you'll probably make me cry

checkmate
Escence May 2015
I turned my hate into a contract
I made what it was to be
I turned my love into weakness
it was more of simple than easy
I turned myself into a wall
and let the darkness take over me
I turned my allies into pawns
that can bow only to me
I made myself the king
while the bishop was turned away
This is the game of life
not an easy thing to play

with a chance at liberty

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

I don't care
look down on me
it's not fair
don't follow me
can't you see
I'm a little weak
just I BEG
don't look down on me
it's worse than mortality
but since you cant see me
I'll just end this melody
before it tries to follow me
death is my only free
so I beg and if I plea
Do not ever follow me

Cold heart
Escence Mar 2015
It was true
They were through
Nobody knew
of his bad crew
But now they see
His bad deed
And with their greed
they let him be
And so he grew
But nobody knew
of his bad crew
So when it came
When he was to be claimed
He withdraw
A sword of hearts
In each were darts
They never knew
The little boy
was heartless too

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

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."
