And so this story goes forever
Being held to the ground for being clever
I don't know what these ******* even teach you
But you can't stand for yourself (it's true)

The world emanates the fear of our souls
Expressing what we feel disrupts their goal

Stricken to the bone, we tear our flesh
To show our opinion in a scarring mesh
They make us cover it all or be removed
For professionalism is dictated by what they approve

Hold your head high while you ******* can
Bills are passed to begin the eternal ban

Stripped of our freedoms
Naked and exposed
To invasion of comfort and artistry
I say *******
And **** them too

For they have nothing to say against our cries of injustice
They know what they do is an expression of narcous

The stars shine so bright
Yet, the moon is filled with fright
For something outshines
Down on the surface

Confused by this turn of events
It searches for this fragment
That steals all the beauty
From the moon itself

As it makes its daily cycle
It finds something far from hostile
Hidden in a broken town
Getting ready to move on

The moon sees no threat
But a mere asset
To make the night sky
A beauty forever

So she asks this girl
To join her daily twirl
In hopes of sharing
This new found beauty

I ran from these demons
For all my ******* life
Now I stand in their presence
With inner strength and might
You thought you could control me
I scream with a grimacing face
No longer can you hold me down
As I shot them and sealed my fate
So as they were ripped forever
From my scarred memories
I came at last to that final man
Who has been as steady as the sea
So you finally found a way around
This everlasting game? He asked
I smiled from behind my gun
And fired my freeing shot at last

Hatred is old
A creaky, broken tree
Green while roots take hold
Set this new hatred free

Roots push dirt away
Slipping deeper in anger
Strangling themselves astray
This tree's death now sure

Roots run out of water
Bark now cracking & dry
Make rain from this slaughter
Red water falls from the sky

This deadly tree ***** up life
Always thirsty for more
It gives you all but a knife
To feed this tree with gore

Bathed in the dark
This creature stalks me
I hear it's metal claws
Smell the rancid breath
Feel sweat tickling my back
Stumbling through this fog
Attempting to breathe
Spinning in circles of streets
Hallowed echoes from the stones
Splashing in sticky, red puddles
Blaise, it's morning
I hear this shout
Like a demented whisper
It's time to wake up
Darkness dissipates away
Eyes burst open, filling with light
*Only a dream?

Scarcely aware as it runs
Fluid dripping by the tons
As done by millions

I lose myself within it all
As my soul becomes a dark ball
Darkening as I plunge and fall

First come the cement walls…

Ripped from my life, yet never in death
Escape supposedly comes from ****
Yet like her, it only takes my breath

Tripping on the lie
That once made me try
Even if it could make me die

Next come the cold steel bars…

Breathing in death, or perhaps sleep
I try to hold my keep
But all emotions, they simply seep

Forever I die, forever I think
This, I know, is permanent like ink
But all is gone within a blink

At last, the guard, myself, takes his post…

I try and fail
Unable to afford bail
As I wait in my self-made jail.

As these days roll forever on
I collect their disappointment
Hiding it and distracting them
To ensure that none fall silent

I am the reaper of misfortune
Or so I hope to be to them
As I make their lives be rich
Distracting from times that condemn

Where I hide all these weighty moments
Is a logical place, I believe
In a blackened abyss that moves all around
My own soul holds tight the moments I retrieve

You may be concerned
But, there is no reason to fear
I live with these tortures daily
Merely causing my vision to blear

Won't you spare a second
To help me close this wound
Stop the blood that drips
Put my heart back inside?
Why is your stare so blank?
Don't you know what I feel;
The anguish of a loner?
The regretting soul?
Perhaps you are right to stare
To be dim to such pain
For the world shows no mercy
And people, They are to blame.

My mind, so clouded
By these broken awful words.
Forming sentences to ****
In ways so absurd.

I can't seem
to find a balance
of these words that
bind
me to the brink of
insanity in kind
for I can't begin to
finish

These words reflect my soul
With the edges gleaming
Sharp and invitingly cold

Stark images flash before me
Causing momentary lapses
And moods flooding the body

Words flow into pictures
Seizing hold of the moment
Tearing apart connections

Forever lost to a sea of thoughts
The idea will soon fade
And with it, I go in-kind

Please forgive
This blinding pain
I cause the world
To crumble in

With every compliment I ****
The little chance you have left
Of holding your, now liquid, world
In a perfect sphere around you

White and blue wash
As a stinging covers you
From the cuts all over
When your world caved in

As I attempt to piece you together
I only make matters worse
When I break the little parts
Down to worthless bits

Sad, lonely words
Circle me forever
Hazing my vision
Leaving us *******

                                        Cut to the bone
                                        Start pulsing blood
                                        Fading to black
                                        Society does condone

                                                        ­         It is fully understood
                                                      ­                         These phrases ******
                                                          ­                                  They slice deep
                                                            ­               Bring nothing good

                                                           ­                        Fight this darkness
                                                        ­                      Remind us of the light
                                                           ­                 But voices are drowned
                                                         ­                         By blood so heinous

I can't believe
My life can be
Another routine
Lost in me

I hate constants
And changes bring me life
But nothing is left
To awaken me from strife

I search and find no solace
In this mundane college *******
That traps me to a lifestyle
Of boring hypocritical skits

Psychotic and lonely
Fighting through it all
Rip myself so cleanly
I'm always left to bawl

The voices grow louder
My control loses grip
Through life I wander
Occasionally I trip

Crazy as I can be
Some still remain close
Form the base of my tree
Where life places crows

Can't you see I'm a friend?
I've been here through it all?
Are you making a knife descend?
My life ends as you maul...

Some say our lives are meaningless piles of
useless actions to appease our horrendous society
I say this cannot be, for it should not be, and it will not be

But what do I know?                        
Only the valleys of red.                      
Formed on the hills of snow.                
From our rotting dead.                    .

I thought I was good,
But you know what they say;
Those who do what they should,
Often into wild evils stray.

Once thought near a saint,
Now condemned for all I do.
My will to sin, no longer faint.
Inside, a dense tangle grew.

Slowly unwinding and ripping
Is this fragile dying soul.
While you gaze at the dripping;
Oozing quickly from this black hole.

Tie me down with ropes,
Of twisted evil strings,
Ripped from my weary heart and hope;
Drenched in blood & misery, Life's kings.

I promise I won't fight.
I know I deserve this fate
For I finally lost all light
In this demon-forest, so great.
