Looking at the reflection in front of me,
I see a mirrored image of someone,
someone far from myself.

The person looking back at me
looks tired, dark circles under her eyes,
lids growing heavier with each second.

She looks drained,
physically, emotionally, and mentally
drained.

Hidden behind her eyes are
undiscovered secrets,
tucked away, never to be seen.

Lies hide behind her tears,
behind her glossy eyes
that cover her fears.

Her soul appears to be shattered,
broken,
but no one will ever notice.

No one will ever say anything,
because no one will ever care.

No one will care to find the secrets
hidden behind closed doors,

No one will see deep enough
into her soul to discover it's pain,
the desperation to be free.

She will continue to live as she is -
hidden, trapped, and broken.
I wrote this when I was depressed... thank goodness I'm not there anymore.

your words are distant
your screams are trapped
the thoughts are consistant
your pale lips chapped
from constant persistance

you shed wet tears
that stain your cheeks
the frightening fears
that appear when you sleep
they sting your ears,
the whispers from over the years

they cannot see what you hide
but deep down you want them to see
the cause of your silent cries,
for your demons to be free;
free of the pain and dreadful lies.
happiness is the winning prize
This one's an oldie. I'll be posting some of my older works.

sometimes
when i get really down and empty feeling
i just think about pulling out
the bottle of ***** under the cabinet
and downing the whole thing
or smoking a pack and a half
of freshly bought cigarettes.

and the sad part is
that i don't care
what it'll do to me in the long run.

i don't care
if the ***** will burn
as it travels down
my throat,
an enticing river
that corrupts in
flames;

i don't care
if the cigarettes
will end up giving me
a disease
i won't be able
to get rid of.

i'm beginning to wonder
how,
when,
and why
i started
not caring
anymore.

maybe
not giving a ****
is a part of me
that's been here

all along.

we're all different,
sort of like flowers.

there's dandelions,
roses,
carnations,
tulips,
sunflowers.

but most of all,
i think i resemble
the wallflower.

quiet,
secretive,
hidden
in the shadows.

but i know
something
they don't:

the quiet ones
are the ones
that always
have the most
to say.

if only they knew
of how we spend
our days;
stealing everlasting
dandelions from
the moist earth soil
of the meadow,
making wishes
on their tiny little
frollocks of magic
and watching them
blow endlessly
in the earth's
forgiving breath.

if only they knew
of the times
we escaped
to the beach,
running frantically
through the rough
grains of sand
and tangled seaweed,
through the
ongoing depths
of the ocean
and into the
earth's burning core.

if only they knew
of how we hid
silently beneath
the shadows
of unguarded areas;
of how we'd
go there whenever
things got tough
or just wanted to
get away from it all.

if only they knew
of all the places
you've explored
on the adventures
of my own body;
how your fingertips,
cold and endless,
discovered my
thighs,
how your warm
palms led to
my *******,
how your gentle
lips
found their way
to mine.

if only they knew
the secrets we shared
among the
both of us.

chills.
that's what happens
when you
cuddle,
kiss,
hold
me;
chills
that run all
over my body;
down my arms,
thighs,
even my
frozen fingertips.

chills
are what happen
when you
touch,
feel,
explore
my body;
trail your fingers
across my
thighs,
get your whispers
tangled in my
hair,
when you
touch me in
just the right way
to make me
scream your name.

chills
are what happen
when you snuggle
close to me,
head nestled into
my neck,
your body my
savior from
the haunting cold,
when you let
your thumb
graze across my
flushed cheeks.

chills
are what you
give me;
but baby,
don't stop.

every time you
touch me,
kiss me,
love me,
it feels
like the first
time.

with you
my stomach
turns into
a butterfly
garden,
my hands become
slick with sweat,
my eyes shimmer
and glow.

you make
me have a
hummingbird
heartbeat;
it races a million
beats, a gazillion
miles
per second;
travels all
across the states,
countries,
all around the
world and
skyrockets
through the
universe.
I don't even know...
