Tiny and seemingly harmless
Smiles portrayed through heavy words
No choices, no options
Just manipulation

Motives behind a please and thank you
Hopeful eyes for a generous result
Influencing your mind
Inflicting your heart

It starts to creep up your spine
These dangerous little bugs
Slowly, slowly, creeping up
Pressing into your head the perfect end

You allow it to go on
For the sake of peace and rest within
But what you don't notice
That its killing you, oh so slowly

You think it's alright, you can handle it
But it will catch up soon
It will get to you

Those expectations of you
There are some things you just can't control.

wanted too much
flew too close to the sun
First attempt at a 10 word poem.

i like angry poetry
the kind that churns
in your gut,
with razors for teeth
and gums bleeding.
i like the violent sound
of verbs clashing
on a decaying page,
like the shot of a gun
on a quiet day.
i like the poetry that stays,
that lies in waiting
like a dog in a cage,
words that creep like
voided birds into the
wired tress of my brain,
that pay their rent
like drunken travelers
and trash the place.
i like angry poetry
the kind that sears it's
screams to my lips,
which spirit echoes and
moans for eager,
****** eyes.
words that hit like *****,
giving their reader
a killer hangover.
i like angry poetry,
the kind that leave you
with a smoky exit.

Diamonds, spades, hearts, and ace,
Whenever I see you, my heart will race.
It happens, every time.

You could...

Let the universe decide...
If it has space for you.

Let life decide...
If it has a future for you.

Let God decide...
If He has amnesty for you.

Or you could...

Let yourself decide...
To fight for a place
where there's always a tomorrow,
blessed with opportunities
to seek forgiveness.

Coughing up blood again
This time it's black as ink
So I decide to write in blood
And not wash it down the sink

Covering all my walls in all my failures
Until every last drop leaves my body
Leaving me pale, cold and rigid
And a heart withered in my chest

Suicide by writing
The note is my life
The ink is my blood
The death is alright
In case someone worries, I'm not suicidal. :)
