Fireworks At Dawn
Fireworks at dawn as I sit for assistance
This glass keeps me calm, it reflects back my bent image
Of someone who's lost, getting older by the minute
Laugh lines are like growing scars, someday they will be finished

I've got so many places that I wanna see
And I've got so many faces that I wanna be

So get on your feet, wipe the dirt off and get with it
Destiny waits at your door, all wrapped up with a reason
To move on 'cause the past can't be your passion
So what if you did something wrong? Find someone who hasn't

I've got so many places that I wanna see
I've got so many faces that I wanna be

I Am Masochist
I love pain,
Yes I do.
The man that I love,
Enjoys it too.

He ties me down,
As we make love,
He holds my neck,
in silent sound.

He tells me I’m bad,
I bite at his lips,
He pushes me down,
His hands on my hips.

Please pin me down,
Choke me some more,
Please make me beg,
Make me your *****.
Truth is...

Your Eagle
I love you.
Be good.
Those cuts will merely be like feathers on your skin.
I will fly you above the clouds.
Even though my wings have broken.
I will carry all the pain with you.
Just to see you smile again.
If it weren't for her, I wouldn't know my strength.

The Dahlia
My little Dahlia,
My little Dahlia.
How fair you do bloom.
So pure white,
So pure white.
Brighter than the sun at noon.

Smile so bright,
Smile so bright.
The sight of you brings me joy.
So happy,
So happy.
Happier than I child with a toy.

My little Dahlia,
My little Dahlia.
So sun begins to set.
It is so late,
It is so late.
The moon brings us to bed.

Though a quiet scream,
Though a quiet scream.
My Dahlia for I cannot see you.
I am so scared,
I am so scared.
My Dahlia, where's the sky so blue?

What happened to you,
What happened to you.
Your white innocence had changed to dark.
Woe is me,
Woe is me.
My love is covered in red as blood.

Vengeance is mine,
Vengeance is mine.
V stands for Vendetta.
Your passion so red.
My red one to wed.
I'll paint you picture perfect in your grave.
With knife and blade.
Just a little story about a love and a ******. Because.

I Am Not
I am not an anchor.
I cannot let myself sink.
I am not alone.
I cannot shun the world.

I will not be a hero.
Though I need one to save me.
I will get up on my own.
Because it’s what I’ve always done.

What I am is an individual.
I cannot follow the new trends.
But I can make my own.
I cannot force anyone to like me.
But I can make no one hate me.

I am not
I will never be weak.
But I can
And I will
Be the one to stand my ground.

I am not weak.
I cannot back down.
I am not strong.
I cannot be defeated.

I will not bow to your needs.
Though a mountain doesn’t bow to the wind.
I will never let your threats get to me.
Because I am headstrong.

What I am is an individual.
I cannot think like everyone else.
But I can think for my own good.
I cannot force anyone to like me.
But I can make no one hate me.

I am not weak.
I cannot back down.
I am not strong.
I cannot be defeated.
It was an assignment. But all my feels went into it.

Sandcastles
Every night you fall to pieces,
Wish you were someone else,
Whatever it is it freezes,
Watch them, the sandcastles.

Reflections in the mirrors tell lies,
Wish you were someone else,
Watch them all die as flies,
Watch them grow, the sandcastles.

I’m invisible to them,
Wish you were someone else,
You over power them,
Watch them rise the sandcastles.

You make the change,
Wish you weren't someone else,
Read your list to burn their names,
Watch it grow, your sandcastle.

With power comes force,
Thought you had known so well,
Can you feel any remorse,
As your sandcastle, it fell.

Madness Is Genius
Confessions,
what’s in my head,
The ballad plays,
Madness Is Genius.

Death of the hero,
Makes me wanna die,
Swimming home,
Madness Is Genius.

To the stage I go,
I follow the white rabbit,
I see what’s in my life,
Madness Is Genius.

Born like this,
I’m lost in the crowd,
Can I save you,
Madness Is Genius.

Something of value,
To the electrical chair they take me,
Wait for your turn,
With my madness they **** genius you see?
IT'S MADNESS, IT MAKES NO SENSE!!

Screaming Whispers
Never Ending Happiness,
All we wish for,
Screaming whispers for this,
Too many unopened doors.

Light up the sky,
So Disconnected,
Follow the path to life,
Take me away before I end it.

Wasting away,
Tonight alive,
Dead promises fade,
Life isn’t just a lie.

In for a ****,
Strung up like a puppet,
Loss of my own will,
Screaming whispers to stop it.

My heart bleeds no more,
I fly over the dead country,
Screaming whispers till my throat is sore,
Deer dancing in my memory.

Sand castles crumble slowly,
Vengeance dressed in black,
Forever unloved and always lonely,
Farewell life I will never come back.
I have my ways of getting MY INSPIRATION.
I tried something different today. Enjoy.

My Little Soldier
I knew her forever,
She held onto me,
She sees me as a lover,
Maybe there's more I could be.

She's like a little sister,
Someone I dearly love,
She looks up to this mister,
Like a confused little dove.

I'm almost like a dad to her,
Someone she feels safe with,
She's covered in a lambs fur,
Her safety is my only wish.

At sixteen so confident,
Yet never tells me what to do,
To me she's prominent,
Every night she tells me: I love you.

There's many meanings to words,
Many things I always tell to her,
She knows that I'm so proud it almost hurts,
She's my Little Soldier.
Based on a really special friend of mine...

They Found Me By Her Grave
The day she died it broke my heart,
I cannot forget those days,
Our love had been torn apart,
They found me crying by her grave.

Days had passed since she was gone,
Angry at my own rage,
To a death is no pro and con,
They found me drunk and passed out by her grave.

Weeks had passed I do not know,
I cannot forget all I gave,
All the love I couldn't show,
They found me bleeding by her grave.

A month has passed I'm coming through,
There's something I forgot to say,
I forgot to say I love you,
They found me when I shot myself by her grave.

More Than Sex
She arrives in front of me,
With flooding tears and sighs,
Her sadness is what seems to be,
Silently I kiss her eyes.

Her heart had broke in two,
I rest my hand on her chest,
For what seems wrong to do,
I only do what I think is best.

Her wrists bleed in rivers,
I lick her blood away,
Her body restless with shivers,
Don't worry, I'm here to stay.

Her mouth decorated in a small pout,
Shamelessly I kiss her lips,
What the hell was that about?
For a tiny glimpse of bliss.

We lay on the bed,
Her eyes watery and weak,
My hand gently strokes her head,
For what we do is no need to speak.

I lose myself in her presence,
I drown in her eyes,
I can't put it in a sentence,
What we did wasn't quite wise.

Inside of her so wet and warm,
For what seems like a cold heartless girl,
I feel her lustful grip on my arms,
I wish for her to stay in my world.

Her quiet moans are music to my ears,
I'll make her forget about her ex,
I'll be there to take her tears,
We made love, that is more than ***.

My Light Of Day
The further that I keep going,
The further that I step away,
The more I go without knowing,
The more I'm losing my light of day.

The more you speak of hurt,
The things that I'll never say,
Leave them buried in the dirt,
The more I'm losing my light of day.

The shorter the distance to fall,
Nothing will cross my way,
No one listened when I called,
The more I'm losing my light of day.

The impact had torn us apart,
Why couldn't you just stay,
The concrete has stopped my heart,
I lost you, my light of day.

If you had held my hand,
When you looked into my eyes,
And told me you understand,
Maybe, you could've saved my life.

I Want You In My Bed
I lie awake,
I cannot rest,
My eyes wide open,
i hear my breath.

There's a spot next to me,
It looks kind of empty,
For who will this spot be,
The thought is quite tempting.

I close my eyes and see a shape,
I draw a smile in relief,
The illusion of the shades,
Leading me to strange beliefs.

I close my eyes and dry my tears,
I can't stop thinking of you,
I wish you were here to take my fears,
Instead pain is what loneliness put me through,
I want to lay here in bed with you.

To My Lover
I might not change reality,
I might not be well known,
I might not keep my sanity,
But there's one thing I call my own...

I might not afford much,
I might not be quite free,
I might shiver at your touch,
Because you belong to me....

I might not have trusted you,
I might have changed,
I might not be me without you,
You have taken me out of my cage...

I might long for your presence,
I might even cower in fear,
I might be transparent,
I'm not me without you here...

All I wish for is your love,
All I can take is your injection,
All I need is a wonder from above,
In order to live I need your affection...
I Love You.
To the love of my life... <3

Days Of Fame
Who am I?
I walk alone,
Thoughts of suicide,
Me all on my own...

Who are you?
You'd like to know me?
I'm not too sure,
To become friends I see...

Hello my friend,
What to do?
Adventure around the bend,
You and me, me and you.

My friends they grew,
Can't even count them,
Excited for the new,
Me on top of my friend mountain.

Who are these people?
Think they know me,
Where did my friend go?
Blinded and cannot see...

These people seem to mock me,
Everything is fun,
Invite me to parties,
But I only want one...

Where did my friend go,
I seem to miss her,
Where she is I do not know,
Why do I wanna kiss her?

I miss her so dearly,
Fame it took me,
It hurts my heart really,
The game it played me...

My fame is killing me,
My heart is torn in half,
My heart crushed in the deep,
My love is holding someone's hand...

I call her up one night,
And sob into the phone,
What nearly became a fight,
I ask, "will you be my own?"

The day after she looks into my eyes,
I grab her hand,
The tears of hurt crawl from inside,
She creates a bond?

She hugs me tight,
I sigh in soul-less remain,
Have I won this fight?
She calmly strokes away the pain...

What fame has done to me,
What fame made me see,
What fame put me through,
This ******* fame took me away from you.
This poem... True story bro.

The Kreepture
A creature,
Before it was a man,
Without any feature,
Before it could stand.

Hiding in the shadow,
Crawling in its hole,
Devouring the hollow,
Eating the hearts it stole.

Do you hear it sneak,
Will you listen?
Do you take a peek,
Will you see?
Do you face the creep,
Will you recognise,
The unmentionable freak?

Seal your heart,
Save it at every hour.
Do not let your soul part,
Don't let it get devoured.

Will you listen to me,
Are you safe,
Have you escaped the freak,
Where do you stand?

This small dark room?
You sure you're safe?
Won't it lead you to your doom?
Do you trust me?

Don't turn around,
Let me smell your scent,
Don't make a sound,
Here, let me hold your hand.

You feel my cold?
Do you feel my breath?
This curse is far beyond old.
Will you smile at your death?

The Kreepture is near,
Silence you breath,
Before you could hear,
I have brought your DEATH.

Say farewell to your beautiful life,
Listen to your dying sighs,
Carefully balanced on the blade of a knife,
See my face with your cold, dead eyes.

I wake from my sleep,
With teary eyes I see black,
All the anger lies deep,
My emotions that I show are at lack.

Like a withered flower I lay,
A tear grindes down my cheek,
I lay miserable for the rest of day,
This is me, the emotional freak.

I cry for the pain I caused you,
My soul is torn apart,
The course of life no longer goes through,
I no longer wish for a pumping heart.

I can no longer bear with myself,
I wish I could see through,
I put my broken dead heart on the shelf,
To the end of my life.
"Farewell I loved you."

My Worlds End
I watch the sky,
It fades to black,
Tho I wonder why,
Will I see more than your back?

I see your face,
It makes me smile,
Lose time and space,
Is life worth my while?

I see the pale sky above,
All my feelings were true,
Truly, what I felt was love,
Will my world end with you?

I count the days I won't sleep the night,
Day after day I lay in my bed,
I give up on you I won't fight,
Where I lay they will find me dead.

Under Water
A feeling unlike any other,
A moment without any bother,
A realm with no scent,
A calm feeling under the water tent.

Roam with me,
I will show you places,
Swimming through the weeds,
The water has many faces.

Follow the voice,
It calls for you,
Do you have a choice,
Is it numbing you?

You hear her voice,
She calls for you,
Is it worth your while,
Do you feel it go through?

Take her hand,
Do not let go,
You are now,
Where the sirens roam.

She sings a song,
Will you join along?
She teases you,
Will she come through?
You open your mouth,
And suddenly,
The Siren had killed you.

A feeling unlike any other,
A moment without any bother,
A realm where you feel no dread.
The numb feeling of being dead.

Isn't That Right?
Silent.
Silent in the night,
Everyone sleeps,
Isn't that right?

But.
But someone's awake,
This late at night,
Isn't that right?

Why.
Why are they awake,
Because of a fight,
Isn't that right?

But.
But they won't rest,
Is it too much light,
Isn't that right?

This late at night?
Because if a fight?
Too much light?
No.

It's a poet,
Who simply cannot rest his mind.
NOT because its late at night.
NOT because of a fight.
NOT because of too much light.

He just wants to rest his mind,
And go to sleep.
And new poems he'll safely keep.
Until the next day he waits,
Until new poetry awakes.
NOW isn't that right?
For Sh*tz & giggles, cuz I can't sleep.
Good Night.

Her Little Hopeful Smile
Day in day out,
There is no doubt,
I see her smiling face,
In her smile I see hope,
Something I've never seen.

When I see her smile,
My feelings change,
They switch upside down,
For some odd reason,
I don't know why,
It takes away my frown.

Her little hopeful smile,
It changes me,
Her presence is worth my while,
I love her so much,
And I won't change,
As long as she don't frown.
Inspired by my sister <3

One Day
One day to change it all,
One day to take a hit,
One day to stop my fall,
One day to get rid of it.

One day can change my fate,
One day to clear my sight,
One day of "its not too late"
One day to end this fight.

One day is all I need,
One day more to lift this curse,
One day to find what to seek,
One day to live with the worst.

One day left for misery,
One day to see a new,
One day of seeking a mystery,
One day being closer to you.
A day in my depression. I am down, yet hopeful.
My favorite poem so far.
