This isn't for anyone
As my words are my tears alone

Dreams flood my mind
All of these times 
I can't wait for this that
Or the other thing
While my mind speaks another dream 
I want to die
To feel the slice of a blade upon my neck 
As a necklace of blood lies there
Say I need help 
And all this
I try
It hasn't done any good
Beyond reversing to tear open old scars
I'm tired of living
In a world where a sight of the day 
Is another person's drama
It's like going to a theater 
And all that's playing is some 
Person Snapchat Instagram or personal story
I'm tired of not fitting in
Ever heard of the story of
The extrovert 
Turn introvert 
Well news flash we aren't all silent 
Dead do speak
Dreams tell our stories 
As people say what a shame 
And break us further 
I'm tired of being told I'm to blame 
That there's this tiny switch in my mind
That can turn it all off
That I'm broken and can be fixed 
See the abusive father who was is 
The least of my issues 
Which no one ever understands 
I say this and its like deer in the headlights 
I want people to be themselves
I'm tired of all these
Masks
Facades
Why is all I ask
So yes 
I'm broken in the eyes of humanity 
I'm torn to the shreds of a monster 
Those eyes are what form 
That blade of my dreams
That will finally slaughter me

Gift of Gaia
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
A loving mother some state
a barrier of truth lies in these words 
the rest lie in the maintainer of that reality

Earth does not need us to survive 
but the opposing is not true 
as from birth 
we fall on the ground and stare at the stars 
always having a ground to fall upon
making it a bit easier to stand 
delicious foods growed upon the land 
lent to you by the life of the land
gives and gives until the land once given is corrupted 
and the love becomes painful 
answer me who will be blamed 
the other creatures as we build factories
upon the gravesite of earth

What land are we leaving for others 
to fall and entrust to 
Why must we be blinded 
by the need of material damage
listen closely 
will the voices of the trees surround you in time
or will we create a world
of volcano
and deserts 

Tell stories of trees 
instead of climbing them and mountains 
we dodge them
saying they are business's property
the amazon forest
the amazon desert all the same 
as we have amazon prime the only thing we care for
the nile 
the Missouri and all rivers turned to enemy 
as the grounds are polluted to toxicity

You will say you love them
but will you love the world that we left 
if you have to think of something 
think of the future of humanity nonetheless
will you let the world go to shambles
or finally see....

The evolution of humanity lies in mankind's hand

Insanity
Raiven Everett Jun 2018
Insanity
Is within my sights
Dignity lost within my rights
My act of sleep comforts 
No more
Wishing for the relief no more
Sanity lost in upbringing
Joked upon never having any
Insanity corrupting my insomnia
As sleep 
Never becomes a relief

— The End —
