I'm scared of my imagination.

I hear, see and feel things I shouldn't.
It scares me.

You hear barking, I hear howling.
You hear chair scraping the ground, I hear screaming.
You hear snoring, I hear wailing.
You hear in between radio stations, I hear cackling.
You hear sliding, I hear snakes.
You hear buzzing, I hear a bomb ticking.
You hear church bells, I hear the call for death.
You hear chopping food, I hear execution.
You hear the waves, I hear the drowning of the unknown.

I can't stay in the dark,
It's what I imagine I fear for.
My heart runs for it's life,
But it's stuck in the same cage.
And it's walls are scraped,
With tally of the times it will never get out.

You hear a tap, I hear drowning.
And I am flowing with it. In it.

Shake my head away from the dreams?
It's not as easy as you think.
When they taunt you,
While you sleep,
You dream,
You eat,
Scream.
I do.

It's just a nightmare...
- No it's not.
It's real;
It's my imagination.

Telling me things it shouldn't,
Making me feel things I shouldn't.

The imagery is too much, I cannot see;
Blind.

The wails, howls and screams are getting louder;
Deaf.

I’ve run out of voice,
To speak, to express, to call for help;
Dumb.

They say your imagination cannot hurt you,
Yet I’m screaming, running away from it.
But I can't – it's stuck with me, 'till I die.
Die from the fear of myself?
I will.
It's not as bad as this, but for some it is. I AM scared of my imagination, sometimes. but then again, aren't we all?

You shoot me down
And I will fall
Because I am not
Titanium.

Neither am I steel, Metal or strong at all.
I am made of flesh and blood,
And you will bring me down.

Not only according to the science of life,
But also because you make me
The happiest person I can be.

And when the happiest person
Doesn't have her happy,
She isn't that bright sunshine.
She's sad, melancholy and depressed.

You may not define me,
But you are what I need
And I want you,
I need you,
I miss you,
I love you.

Your words will hurt me,
Shoot me
And cut through my delicate skin.

I'm not going to pretend,
That you will never affect me-
You always will
Because I am in love with you.

You have left me,
Because I am not good enough.
But I promise you now,
I will be.

Yet you still hurt me,
Taunt me,
And bring me down.

Yes, I am breakable.

And you have, indeed, broken me.
Inspired by "Titanium"
Ironic, isn't it?

the darkest of your hours,

the one you dread the most

seems to have been haunted

by an unforgotten ghost

you wish you could forget

what has been said and done,

but sweetheart your darkest hour

has only just begun,

I warned you that the road ahead

would break your dainty soul

but you just went on ahead

and now you’re all alone,

when your darkest hour

seems to be undone,

remember that the darkest hour

is but sixty minutes long.

shattered hands,
          and bleeding glass
                      darkened skin,
                 an unfixable mess

                   useless thoughts,
           your misguided words
                                 breaking mentality
                          until it hurts

        dampened clothes
                               a shattered mind
                    bloodstained red
what once was white,

                                                     no it isn’t
                                   it’s not your fault
                  yes, it hurts,
you’ve been through hell.

terrified, lost,
that's what they said to me,
not worth the cost,
that's what they thought of me,
painfully alone,
or so i had thought i’d be,
broken, on my own,
or so it had seemed i’d be,

behind closed doors,
that's where they kept him,
in other words,
tore, broke and bruised him,
or at least,
that is what he told me,
of the beasts,
that maimed, prodded, shattered me,

together stronger,
that’s what we could be,
unbroken longer,
not broken as all hell could be,
finally unalone,
that is how it felt with him,
finally at home,
i know that i love him.
the capitalization is an artistic choice that i have made, capital letters did not suit the poem.
