What are you doing in there?
Why are you taking so long?
Please come out before I get terrified
I don't like total silence
Any of it
Just come out to let me know
You're okay
I'm good enough for the best
If I repeat that to myself hundreds of tines over I might believe it
Going to war with insanity
Is a common occurrence in my world
You don't want to land a Shuttle on mine
You'll be perplexed as I am
Not a good combination

Want to cry but my tears are drained.
Want to scream but my voice gets quiet.
Want to run but my legs are paralysed.
Everything becomes still, except my thoughts...
If someone has an idea for the title please let me know

I was ******* when I heard the fire
I was ******* in your attire
I was ******* I am all you desire
I was ******* I was your live wire
I was ******* you made me moan like a choir
I was ******* when you started that bush fire

Maybe one day I'll write happy poems people want to read
About sunsets, birds, butterflies, and happy little bees
But I'm pertty sure that will not happen
Because my thoughts are all blacken
I'm the charred remains of yesteryear
My innocences was very short that's all to clear
None of my life I want to relive, not one single day
They all were tinged with different shades of gray
My hope for a happier life quickly is fleeting
My life source is oh so fastly depleting
Over half my life I've all ready lived
And God still seams to have more agony to give
I must have been a really bad person in my past life
Because I've done nothing in this one to cause such strife
Don't get me wrong happiness I'm still pursuing
But with their hot breath on my neck, my demons keep ensuing
So I'll leave you with this thought in mind
Be very very greatful for YOUR happy times

Faces only remind you of
How lonely you are,
You say you've swam too far
Into the sea of your regrets
That I am your lifeboat
But didn't you hear
I sank long, long ago?

You've been searching
For a new home,
One that doesn't creak
Or shudder at night.
But homes are not people
And your voice cracks
As you point out
There's a welcome mat
By the front door
But I never answer
When you knock.

It's been a while since
I started attracting
Strangers with flashlights
To search me like
A haunted place.
I finally realized they
Were the ones that
Needed scaring away.

It's so odd to think,
You once told me
You saw beauty
In clifftops,
And I thought you
Were talking about
The view.

If you keep this up
pushing me
yelling
treating me like i'm dumb

if you keep on pushing me
i will snap
hitting you
in your self righteous face

the more that you test me
the more anger i will hold
and i don't think your ready
for it to explode
Sorry for this weird poem. I need to get out my anger. I'm trying to write about when some keeps on teasing you, seeing your limits. I'm trying to write how anger i feel, and i think i will snap really hard, soon.

This drowsy heart is robbed of all love,
Stolen away in criminal fashion,
Put on the black market,
For a one night stand.
