Reality
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
ever wondered if dreams are reality.
and reality is a dream.
if we are living in someone else’s mind.
that we aren’t real.
that we are a product of someone’s imagination.
that you are nothing.
you are the invisible friend.

the pit
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
ever since you sold your soul to the devil, you haven't been the same.
your lips keep telling me one thing,
but your eyes won't do the same.


i watched your innocence fade,
i saw you build your brigade,
so i couldn't move in.


i wasn't pushed,
i was shoved.


though we touched,
we never loved.


i didn't feel, i created illusions,
hoping that you could fulfill them.

Unnatural Obsessions
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
****** is art
and the killer is the painter
and the body is the canvas
but the act is made illegal
which makes is a fantasy
done in the mind
where sanity is lost
and the concept of right and wrong are gone
and the art is born in death
I've currently been reading the book The Mind of the Murderer by Neustatter. It's about how mental illness can sometime, rarely, but can lead to ******. And people who do suffer from a particular mental illness can be at a loss at why they are in trouble. Since most of these acts are do you rage or paranoria. They don't see a right or wrong, but it happened. But I was watching a jail interview with BTK and was captivated with such a lack of emotion in his face, eyes and words. And how killing to him became a job, since he had to stalk, and plan everything out. Removing trace evidence. How OCD he had to be. And how for most serial killers it's a passion. They view themselves are artists. So that's how this poem came to be. Highly doubt anyone will read this, but I'm pretty proud of it. (written: Nov. 4, 2011)

Stagnant
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
i walk through towns
modern in architecture
modern in travel
modern in appearance
            but
the words spoke were [trapped]
that fell into the gutters of the nation
           ******
         *******
          *******
      camel jockey
           ****
           *****
           ****
         squaw
       c o l o r e d
littered the lips of a unified nation that crumbled at its core
the moon is attainable
           but
minds are trapped in ignorant comfort
too afraid to face the date their phones flashed

for a world found, little has been learn

Cycles
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
life is an ocean
life is a scrape
both flowing in one direction
waiting for an opposing force to break
the stream
the motion
bodies become one with the current
either in whole
or just a finger
you're the one to break your cycle

human cravings
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
we strive for perfection
but perfection constantly changes
it’s never set
you work for one goal
to find it doesn’t complete your cravings
you change for one person
who could reject
you try new things
who could object
we are constantly evolving
until we find that finally one
the one that makes us into perfection for eternity

silent goodbye
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
i'm sorry i left
but i couldn't watch you fall from grace
knowing my best
couldn't save you from that place
i wish i could make your bottle my friend
so we'd have something in common
rather than the icy silence hugging us both
loved out of delusions
because reality never let us touch
it's not that i don't carebut i can't
this feeling of my heart constantly being ripped from my chest
watching you find people to destroy you
there's nothing i can do
just let me go

final rest
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
death was rest. rest is what she craved. but until she found peace. she would never find rest. she feared what death would bring but was dying to know. there was no pun in that though she smiled to herself thinking of it. for a moment she felt clever. a sigh left her lips. she had a long day. she needed to breathe. she wonder for the souls that found no peace if they ever got to breathe or have rest. or if they were forever stressed and upset. she tensed up, her bones seems to become one. she didn’t want that. she needed peace in herself to make it in such a life as this.

Comfort
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
deep, dark, cold
fears come new and old
this isn't good for either of us
rather hold on
than be alone
rather pain familiar
than be alone
comfort like my favorite sweater
as i deal with your words
cold as winter
i filter words you spat out
trying to rinse out this doubt
comfort is hard to release
hard removing myself from the belly of the beast
i'm cold
i'm scared
i'm alone
but i was with you
so it's still at an even tone

Untitled Piece
Grace Wayne Sep 2014
why is the future so bleak, she thought to herself as she walked down the stairs. when when you manage to figure out a path you never know where that is going to go. you might have an idea but that can change as fast as the tide pulls that lose sand back to the depths of the ocean floor before you can touch it. her feet hit the last stair and she sighed. nothing was in the direction she thought it would be a year ago. yet a year ago her heart was taken and her mind was wrapped around other thoughts that did not even come into play but a few months ago. her feet led her to the coffee ***. and the day begun no matter what she felt this was a life she has to form to
