Average Jane
She is the girl you walk past at the light
The one you watch grab her morning coffee
The girl who smiles and walks on

Nothing special
Nothing exciting
Just simple and average

Back in her hometown
She's a celebrity
That everyone wants to meet

Flagged down in the store
Taken pictures of as she drives
Everyone knows her and wishes her to know them

Glitz and glam
Flashes and videos
Nothin is private there

Yet when you see her walk by
You see her as quite
nothing like what the story's state

She's private and open at the same time
telling her story in pieces
with every small bit, she talks about

To one, shes a hero
To another, shes a villain
but to you

She's just average Jane walking by.

Death
Unexpected
You came in swiftly
But causing panic in those that understood
Despite what we tried
We were no match for you
And with final death cries
Of clearly agony
You took him
Leaving us with a body
Dry of any soul

Why death?
Why did you have to take him in my hands?
Why must I bear this weight now?

Silently Cry
I went where we first held hands
I went where we first kissed
I went where we first started to fall

It was nice seeing it again
enjoying the view from above
Smiling at the memories of you

But you are no longer here to hold my hand
No longer to pull me into you
No long to kiss my through out the night

so despite my mind focused
despite my face with a smile
I was crying silently

in front of everyone
for all to see

Broken Angle
Broken wings
Golden wings that aren't hers
Time has been cruel
As seen by the scars on her body
The time in the Darkness
Rebirthed her in ways
But left memories that will never fade away

Love has been cruel
The demons playing tricks on her
The men demanding favors
Each taking a part of her away
or killing it slowly

"Will love ever come."
She asks everyday
"Or am I destined to live alone once again?"

Read When Sad
Your life is sucky
Everyone’s is
And yes, the world might be falling apart
But
It gets better
These feelings
Are just temporary
And the minor things to some
It might be a big thing to you
And you have to remember that
You're winning a battle against yourself
Even if it's small
You didn’t try to create a new scar
That’s a big deal
So never give up hope
Never give up that inner strength you have
You are better than you think
You will always be better than them
Remember that
You have an awesome family
And awesome friends
Who will be there through thick and thin for you
Because they know it will get better
And you have to remember that
We all love you
We all need you to live
For us
For what has
For what is
And for what is to come
Because yes, you can get down
But you can get up again
And run and still run again
I hope this made you feel better
When you needed it most
Stay strong
:)         <3<3<3

The End
A raging fire that filled my lungs for years
Guided me through difficult times
My only friend when the world left
The one I turned to cheer up
Or when I wanted a good laugh

Friends and animals
All making their mark on my heart
My mind
My soul

So many years they were there.
Giving me hope about the world
Making me look at it differently
Giving me an escape when it crumbled

And now it’s over
The finals words typed
And a single promise
To be there when called
Forever and always
“The sun always comes back.”

They created me
It shaped me into the person I am
And now it’s over
Their stories are at an end

No more quests
No more hosts
No more doomsday’s
No more celebrations

Just a simple
The end
In an amazing world
Intertwined perfectly
And able to stand the test of time

Thank you for the memory’s
The laughs
The tears for those that fell

Thank you for being my friend
And let me take this journey with you.

Thank you
For
The end

Frozen still
Books of old
Line the shelves

So full of wonder
So full of life

But the energy required
To pull one down
Is much to bear

The act to find a distraction
Is daunting itself
And way to much to bear

So I'll sit still
Unsure my next move
Wondering if this breath is my last

As my mind runs a million miles a hour
Trying to find some energy


To live fully again

Fabrication of the Mind
I hear them
And I think of you
I see them
And hear your voice
I find them more
After knowing you
A simple thing
A seirn, and light
Makes tears ***** my eyes
Not for where they go
But for who rides in them
Understanding the pain
That comes with a badge
Or shield
The tarnished vision
That society has now created
And the lives effected
Over selfish acts of violence

I hear them
I see them
And I think of you
Maybe one day
I will be able to hold you
Ease your pain through the night
Release the tension you hold
But for now
I sit
Swallowing my sobs
And move on
Like my heart didn't just shatter
In a million pieces
"You're the worst
You're completely and underly uselessly
You're the definition of pain
You're the reason everyone leaves
You are so ugly
You will always be a last resort
You will never amount to anything
Your style is the reason you have no friends
You are such a looser
You are pathetic
You're insane
You are the reason people walk away
You will never get more than a participation award
You're the dumbest person I know
You have no talent
Your scars will always define you
You should just die already
You will not be missed
You are the bane of my existence


I HATE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL!"








But as my mind found every flaw
I just smiled at myself
in the mirror

Glass
In a crowded room
So many eyes scan
Each a mind, and a life
But yet they do nothing
For the one creating glass tears
Silent they look away
Hoping they do not stay

Heartbreaker
Her smile is intoxicating
Her personality contagious
Her mind
a lovely prison
Slowly they come
Men of all ages
All trying to win her hand
But soon, they become poisoned
From her love

So true
So pure
So deadly
Unable to control it
Shes watches them choke
And slowly die
from loving her

Alone she lives
Broken men surround her
Reminders of her curse
No matter what she tries
the poison seeps through
And kills everything
but her
91 · Jan 2023
Oh Miracle
I can sit here
trying to find every good thing
Trying to count my blessings

but yet all I want to
is nothing
no breathing
no thinking
no heat beating
just nothing

Despite life telling me no
I still have hope
I hope your going to get better
hope we won't have to let you go

Please pull through
or pass quickly
no one wishes to see you in pain

and I want to do
is just give up
as well

please stop holding on for her
she'll be ok
I've always made sure
despite my heart breaking as well

To My Twin Flame
you are human
Yet also a friend
a comrade
a protector
and my lover

My heart aches for your touch once more
the sweet words you whispered in my ear
when all I could see was a broken world
the Warmth of your arms as they wrapped around me

The security in knowing I was safe
safe in your arms
as our hearts beat as one

But fate is a cruel poker player
as just as quickly as I found you once again
I lost you

I lost you to simple human desires
as the wind took you far away

I still remember when we met once more
I had grown since our first encounter
I had scars you did not know off
and I had memories of people you despised

But you didn't age
you stayed the same
and got lost in the rush of the thrill

Fate made it clear that day
that this life was not to be with you

I made you this promise before that I still hold dear
No matter where
No matter when
I will always come back to you
My twin flame

burn bright
burn for me
and I will see you in the next lifetime

Chains of the Past
Why must this be so hard
Growing up I was intelligent
Have a amazing degree
But the closed doors remind me
My age is all that matters

Life kicked me down
My own mother pushes me further
Reminding me that
It is only the scars she sees

Talked aitha friend
Trying to distract myself
And get kicked again
Reminded that my past
Is what they see

I thought I got to shed those chains
Break free of the torment
Called depression and suicide

But I guess the chains grew thin and tight
Like wire around my skin
Will it be painful
When the wire cuts?
Or will it be cut with ease
As I draw a final breath?

Funny how life goes
Tears and sobs
Turns into smiles and laughs

Emptiness
Turns into a feeling wanted

Isolation
Turns into carring

Some much change
One way or the other

Love to heartache
Friends to strangers

Alone once more
And not sure what to do

I can message who ever I want
But does the knowledge help

When I don't want anyone
But the one I lost?

I painted a Picture
I painted a picture
For all the see

Carve the wood
To match perfectly

Every detail
Delicately made

To hide the seams
And match perfectly

I painted a picture
For all to see

One where I smile
One where I gleam

A simple picture
So small and pure

To hide the misery
And pain I feel

I painted a picture
For all to see

And no one thinks
I'm wearing a masking

For all to see

Monster, Monster
Monster Monster
Take down your walls
Monster Monster
Let us watch you fall

Down through the deeps
And away for everyone to see
To remind you
You don't belong indeed

Monster Monster
Backstabbed and all
Monster Monster
Please fall

Written Prayer
Read the text in red
Walk lofes tightrope
Do what everyone tells
Loose yourself umong them

And yet when it comes to love
It's your choice
With no teaching of what to look for

And for me it's funny
No mater how many prayers I scream
No mater how much my tears are shed
No mater how much my heart breaks

I still wish him back
The one that stole my heart
My little devil

Not the trickster who played me
Not the trickster who made me a outcast

I want my little devil
Who haunts my heart back

Is that too much to ask God???
88 · Oct 2022
Anger
I Should be mad
I should scream
I should run and never look back
I should cry and have tears run down my face
I should

but I don't
just sit here numb
unsure what to feel now
88 · May 2023
Start running
So little time it feels
Jump for the hills
run that extra mile
They all point and watch
giving direction
but leave you on your own

"We know the struggle
We know the pain
Tough it out
It will get better"

Can I finally have a break
in this chaos
called life?
88 · Nov 2022
One more Night
Just one more
Might hold love
Might hold fear
Might hold a gift
Might hold pain

So many possibilities
For a sleepless night
88 · Aug 2022
Grandparent's
You were a rock I didn't know I had
A ship that kept me afloat in the endless sea
And loosing you hurt like he'll

But the damage that was caused afterwards
The fighting and breaking
Only made the pain of missing you grow more

I miss your wisdom
I miss you taking me to play
I miss just spending time with you

People talk about the both of you
And say how I'm like you two
Business spitfire from hell
But a caring loyal creator

I only knew one of you
But I feel like I know the other pretty well
And seing your names covered in stone that day

Going back to the beginning of my problems
The start or a chain reaction
I relized how much I missed you

And even though I know your the one who saved me
That lonely night in December
I still wish you were here with us

Just so I could get to say goodbye grandma
88 · Aug 2022
If I died tomorrow...
It would be silent where I am
But counties over would wail
Tear shed for a life so young

They would ship me off
To a place I hate
And have me sit and wait

Through my books they would search
Finding the words
I hold close

Fully understanding the mind I had
Finally seeing the life I had

My letters
Sealed with wax
The book with gold

Words of person
Who knew too much
And said too little
88 · Jan 2022
Broken Hope
You promise we can talk
You tell me tonight is the night
You swear it

and yet I wait by the phone
silent on my desk
no message
no call
no notification

Another night it's quite
when I hoped for noise
Hoped you hear your voice

We use to be so close
so what happened?
Why do you make empty promises?
88 · May 2023
Oh, what a life to live
Pinch a penny here
skip a meal there
where a shoe with a hole
work to the point of exhaustion

All just to survive

Graduation
A day of celebration
When one walks across the stage
and grabs a piece of paper

However, when faced with the same situation
I realize I am not the woman people expect
instead, I am a scared little girl
living in fear
and hiding in my room

Once again
counting days till I move
while living a hell
and putting on a pretty face, so no one speculates

Once more, I sit
numb to lifes situations
scarred of the unknown
and hiding to prevent fights

Once more
I graduate from hell
87 · Oct 2022
Does it Stop?
Will it ever stop?
The sirens scream
The lights flash
And I think of you

A story I believed
A life I was wrapped up in
Gone over night

Too soon I fell
Too soon I trusted
Just to be left alone

Will it ever stop
Thinking of another
As the trucks go by
87 · May 2023
Work, work, work
I work to passing out
I can't sleep due to my mind still working

I struggle to understand
how the pain has become normal

Trying to phantom
that our efforts are but just a passing wind

Trying to gather the courage
to find my place

because the more I work
The more I understand

the more
you push me away

and blame it
on a lack of funds
87 · Dec 2022
Its best this way...
Please don't wish me good night
Please don't wake up and message
Please don't send me funny pictures in the middle of the day
Please, don't

No need for blurred lines
No need for pain
I've already done enough
To blame for this game

Please don't smile when you think of me
Please don't hope for more
Please don't whisper my name
When your at the store

Please
Just don't
It's best this way
Distance to restablish lines
We carelessly over looked

Don't cry for me
Or smile at my thought
Please for me
Just leave it alone

It's best this way
Despite what some might say
It's best this way
Despite the pain it causes
Oh so much pain my little devil
The one I never ment to hurt
87 · Jan 2023
It would be so easy...
It would be so easy to give up
let the blade slide across my skin
watch the blood pour out
let my final breath leave my body

it would be so easy

but the aftermath
the pain
the damage my own actions would cause

it would be easy to give up
but I don't no mater how much I want to

I don't because of those who care about me
and the guilt I would feel
if I hurt them
like the world has hurt me

It would be so easy
but life isn't easy......
87 · Jan 2023
Oh my little dream
It doesn't feel real
It just feels like a dream
A very vivid dream

One where the world stood still
One where everything was perfect
One where I knew I was safe

I know it was real
Those hours into the night
That changed into morning

But why do they feel fake
Or like I just had a dream?
A very amazing dream

My mind torn
One wanting more
And nothing at all

Confused where to stand
But that night
That dream

Perhaps I'll know later
Later when everything else makes sense
Later when I'm not trying to remember every little detail

Later when I do not feel it a dream
Little devil
87 · Feb 2023
Such a strange existence
Life is anything but predicable
but the words spoken
are only a memory
held by a few

Some record it
turing those same words
into a code
a string of pixels and 1's and 0's

What a weird way to be remebered
not by who you were
but the code you created on a machine
for others to execute at a later time
87 · Feb 2022
Better than this
"It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip,
no, it don't get better than this"

From the start
Our path has been set out
Unknown the destination

Rollercoaster ride
we all hold on to
Never stopping

Some are slow and bumpy.
Some are looped and extreme.
Mine just doesn't stop.

Life is crazy
and through the pain and love
it can only get
better than this.
I see you
I see a life full of love
I see a life full of passion
I see a life full of possibilities

but at the same time
I see you
I see a life full of pain
I see a life full of torment
I see a life full of anger
and rage
and frustration
and ignorance
and pure hatred

so all I ask is
is this simple question

that night under the stars

was it passion you had
full admiration
full of hope
full of possibilities

or was it lust that made you look at my body
lips savoring the taste of skin
moans bringing joy to your ears
your eyes longing to see vunerablitliy

So which was it, Trickster?
once a little devil, now just a trickster
86 · Jun 2021
Destiny
Time, a wary thing
Full of potential
Full of disappointment
Each second passes
Changes fate as it does

Would lives be different
if I went left, instead of right?
86 · Jun 2023
Oh Devilish Trickster
Your words so kind
Your actions so sweet
You made me feel
Something I forgot existed

Something so small
That I cherished so much
A touch I crave
Unknowingly desiring

With a cruel game
With a swift hidden blade
You stab and cut
Reminding me why

Why I don't let people come close
So trickster
Stop playing with my heart
Because I don't know if I can handle another shatter
86 · Aug 2022
Wonderful Experience
The perfect way
For a farewell
Of something so beloved

Memories
Stoires
All fule a spark
Of embers in the night

Slowly smoking
Until there is nothing
Left in the morning

For tonight
Hold me close
Say I'm yours

Maybe then I won't be cold
When morning comes
86 · Apr 2022
I still care
Despite you pushing me down
Kicking me when I was low
making me feel worthless

I still care

When you told me to get lost
When you ran from me
When you choose someone else

I still care

Through the pain
Through the tears
I still hold you in my heart

The husk of a man looking back
Once full of hope and dreams
now suffocate to barely living on a couch

Despite what you think
you are not a demon
but a hidden angle

One day I hope you learn this
And you finally hear what I ask
For you to be safe and happy

Even if your not with me.
This was suppose to be new
This was suppose to be good
This was suppose to be starting
This was suppose to be a break

Grey skies
the weight of the world
no more tears left
new scars created
death following us everywhere

WHY!!???
Why are you punishing me??



What did I do wrong this time?...........
86 · Apr 2022
War
War
I dreamed of him
I hoped for another
Yet you showed up

No warning
No indication
No care for others

But I do not wish to talk to him
I wish to talk to you
His toxic leach

You **** his life
And I know soon you will **** him
Showing how much you don't care

You cant let him out of your sight
You cant trust him when he is away
Because you know he will run

He ran once
And your claws dug deeper
Pulling him back under a sea of death

Last time I begged him to stand
Stand and fight
But how can the chained fight?

Not again
Straight to the source
One swift motion

Your asking for a battle
I ask for a War
To set him free

Though he does not lay with me
I still have a grasp
on a soft beating heart

You will never be me.
Despite your efforts
A demon will never be an angle

There is a clear difference between us
I did not have to show skin
To make his heart jump with hope

Enough games
Enough talking
Time to go to War
86 · Nov 2021
Public Opinion
Eyes stare down at my actions.
Each one ready to tell me when I'm wrong
Each one another voice telling me how bad I am

I lose myself
I lose you
based on both of our actions

Promises we made
slowly fade with time
Each one now just a sore scar on the heart

This struggle will not stop
nor will it get easier

Forever in pain
Forever dying
Forever crushed
beating heart
86 · Mar 2023
Self Torture
That night
My mind reminds me when I'm alone
Causing the mind to run to what if's

What if it could happen again?

My body craters your touch
You firm kisses
Your caressing hands
The soft growls you made

My nerves turn to fire
And I want to run to you
Run and not regret what happens

But in reality
Though I will never tell you
I just torture myself
For something I know
Will never happen

Even if I wish my little devil
To the memory I never forget
85 · May 2022
Reality
A fickle thing
Showing me
what I already knew

We were supposed to celebrate
We were supposed to have fun
I was supposed to let go

Instead, people avoided me
not giving me a second glance
because of how I look

I'm not short
I'm not thin
I'm not anyone's choice

But she was
able to move her hips
to catch their eyes

You can see she savors the looks
only fulling her view
despite being with another

They ask for her hand
Buy her drinks
never give me a second look

A hard truth I already knew
I'm not pretty despite being smart
and I'll never be the first choice

If I'm in the top 5
I'll be lucky perhaps
top 10 is more likely

One spoken to
when the first said no
and not thought about afterward

I will have no love
because who could love
a second thought girl?
85 · May 2023
Whats right and wrong?
Which is which
So simple as a child
So difficult as a adult
Understanding the difference
between right and wrong

Is it right to look else where
Is it wrong to pursue passion
Is it right to learn how to persuade
Is it wrong to ask for help

So simple
So difficult
if only I knew
which is right and which is wrong
like I did as a child

Such a simple mind
such a simple time
85 · Oct 2022
In Shadows
They once were small in numbers
Now they rise more and more

Simple like you and me
Deadly alone

They blend in so easily
Invisible at first glance

Shadows are where they lay
Hiding the blood on their fangs

Falling Star
Everyone wants to have a star fall in love with them
The fame
The spotlight
All on them now
But no one stops and thinks about the reality

Your actions are judged.
You are followed everywhere.
You are on the cover of magazines.
So people can tell what you have done right or wrong.

The only escape you will have
Are in stolen moments
Behind locked door
And the windows shut
To keep the world out

Always looking behind your shoulder.
Always on edge of who is around you
Never comfortable in the public eye

are the "Rewards" when a star falls for you
85 · Mar 2023
Oh what a sweet game...
It started off innocently
Me trying to prove a point
Where there was none to be made
"Just play along, see what he does"
I was suppose to get clarity

Clarity on life
Clarity on feelings
Clarity on me

But this game has evolved
Where I now face a new opponent
One I don't wish to play

'Play along, see what she'll do'
Am I that skilled
That I can fool the one
I've been with my whole life

Or am.i that broken
That I wish to make a copy of myself
Where no one would miss me
And life continued as it is

But then I could finally
Let go of the hesitation
And finally have a silent mind
Once again?
85 · Nov 2022
Burning Fire
Your voice smooth and sweet
You words ones I wish to trust
But others have made that impossible
And yet I still get a little hope
And the thought of seeing another face

But would your stay still be the same
If I finally spoke the truth
Could you ber to look at me
Or would you throw me out
For hiding it for so long

Would you be upset I asked about it
Or would the fragmented memories
Finally click into place
And you understood why I jump
Why my heart races
And fear sets softly in my eyes
Despite my body wishing you close
85 · Jan 2023
E d

Such a simple thing
Three little words
I trust you
I love you

But when something happens
The letters ed get added

I trusted you
I loved you

The knife those letter hold
Only make the pain worse
Now all I need
Is a upside-down u

To make it

Picture Painting
Stroke here
Dip there
Wash over

Each placement having purpose
Each color having meaning
The design carefully crafted

To paint
To draw
To imagine

Is being able to see
More then what just
The world's sees
On the surface level
