Betrayal
 Sep 2012 Amanda W
Joe Hill
obsidian black-rock soul
lackluster and cold
loosing shards over backyards
failing to heed mother's plea
"keep to yourself, the children are here"
maybe tomorrow i'll borrow compassion
and fashion a rope out of all i can ration
to hold together 'til calmer weather comes
sneaking from behind the peaks and treetops
and leaves me the **** alone
as if
forget the children
they'll know soon enough the taste of hate
and the twinge of pain that precedes disdain
if only i could care
if only i could share a prayer
if only i could waive despair
anymore

Fool me once
Shame on you
Fool me twice
Run.

Help not only me
Help me set others free
Their burning in their cells
Their life is a living hell
Dark as midnight
Screams of fright
Must get out
Close your mouth
Climbing down
Down
Down
Down
There is no exit
I am trapped
We are trapped.

*There is no exit in life. You must live it. We are trapped to live it.
You killed the commoner who didn’t do a thing
You let the ******* win and let the devils sing.
You killed the commoner and buried her beneath
Your screams, your lies, her filthy cries and the smell of defeat.
You killed the commoner and laughed as she died
Blamed it on the ******* who thought you were on their side.
You killed the commoner all you wanted was to win.
You blamed it on the ******* who supported all your sin.
You killed the commoner, and escaped from your cell.
You killed the commoner and you’re going to hell.
Don't look at this as a story of ******. Look at it as a metaphor for being stabbed in the back, hurt, blamed, or lied to. And a representation for the innocence that help or haunt you. It's kinda dark, so...
Roses are black,
Violets are black,
Because love is blind
And I want you back.
No one is listening

i scream
i shout
i cry

No one is listening...........So i do it inside

i do it in silence

Balance on the rope
YOU can do it they shout
Hold it all together
YOU can do it they shout
Juggle........Juggle.........JUGGLE
YOU can do it they shout
Count grains of sand
YOU can do it they shout
Tap dance on the ceiling
YOU can do it they shout
DO ALL THESE TASKS AT ONCE!
YOU can do it they shout

Trapped in darkness that only i can see
Trapped with pain and misery
Fever and sadness course through my veins
i'm living a life with others at the reins
The sun light trickles in
But only darkness lays on my skin
There is no air around me

i can't breathe..........i can't be

When i express these things i am told its not ok
People expect me to be happy everyday
i'm expected to smile and laugh
i'm expected to glow and shine
People are uncomfortable when i vent and whine

i scream
i shout
i cry

No one is listening.................So i do it inside

i do it in silence

*ssshhhhhhhhh
I see you’re stained with tears
But you won’t let me know
The reason that you’re crying
You will never show.
I see you want attention
And I’m giving all I can
But you keep showing weakness
Like It’s always been your plan
To be front and center in the spotlight
All the eyes on you
I want to try to help you
But it’s time you helped me too.
Maybe I’ve been stupid,
for trying to help you out
But still if you ever need me
I’ll come running without a doubt.
