"They got...
Sick and tired
Of being...
Sick and tired!"

Problems
 Aug 2014 Daria
Raven
Sometimes I feel like drinking all my problems away
Cutting so they bleed away
Blowing them away with the smoke
Killing myself, leaving a note
Sleeping for hours just to pretend they're not there
And when I'm in a normal state
I can't even cry
I don't even know why
I try
I want to let it out
but it's all stuck inside me
so the only way to forget these demons
Is by doing all the bad things
With a big smile
and beating heart
I make it through
Thinking only the good
Just like I should

Secrets
 Aug 2014 Daria
Raven
All untold
All kept inside
A little, small s e c r e t
Told a lie
And as it was whispered
Right through the lips
Carried by the air
Blown in the wind
Right through their ears
Right out their mouth
The s e c r e t once kept inside
Has now begun to sprout

Fallen
 Aug 2014 Daria
Raven
I've fallen, fallen so deep
trying to pull myself back out
Out of this cave
I've hid myself in
I went to far down the tunnel
I'm lost in complete pitch dark
I bump into walls
trip and fall
Just trying but I fail
And what's worse I'm not even in a cave
This is just my life
And there's no one to blame
No one to blame
but myself

Just for Today
 Aug 2014 Daria
Raven
I wrote a story all in my head, a song and a poem I do dread
For it took me to place I don't want to see
Because it makes me feel loss and loneliness.
Letting my mind wonder to a place of beauty,
but in the end I watch tears of horror

I'm stuck today.
Nothing but a horrible disaster
I'm taking turns right then left
Searching for a little bit of sunlight

I won't be stuck tomorrow
I know.
But I'll grieve at my sadness just for today
I'll run inside my head
Moving all that's in my way
Running inside this mindless video game

Ink

Raven
Ink
Photographs,
like drawings on inked skin
the colors fade
as you get older
the days get younger
and the nights get colder
so hold your breath
as agony ripples through your body
don't reach out for sustenance or guidance  
because these photographs are all that's left

Slipping
 Aug 2014 Daria
Raven
My world is spinning, so fast I can't seem to grip the edge of the sidewalk before I fall into the depths of the universe.
And just when I touch the cement, my fingers start to slip.
And no matter how loud I shout, no one seems to hear.
Walk by, see me grasping on and gasping for a chance to breathe.
But I am left with aching bones and finger tips waiting for someone to help me.

Two went to pray? O rather say
One went to brag, th’ other to pray:

One stands up close and treads on high,
Where th’ other dares not send his eye.

One nearer to God’s altar trod,
The other to the altar’s God.
