I would travel the world
Make hundreds of friends
I would sing at the top of a tower
With the lungs and voice of steel power
I would dance on top of water
Make my passion burn hotter
I would trick the scales of fate
Dissipate every mention of hate
Be a creator of my own place
Take reign of space
I would lift my head
I would lead the army of the dead
Because I am more then a dreamer
I make impossible realer
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2019
Infinite skies
Could not hold the lies
Which spill from your tongue
Like Honeywise
Delectable

I am not wise
I believe your lies
I am intertwined
In your demise
Detectable
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
Eyes of blood red,
drip tears on to the white snow,
veins black she looks back at me before she's completely taken over,
her body only a host, a shell for the monster beneath her bruised skin, 
Her once bouncy hair,
now stuck to her face and falling out in clumps, 
I'm scared but I must save her, 
Before she is lost, 
The rambling beast spat curses in every language
I called for Christ power to flow through my curbs and empower me,
And in the name of my heavenly father
I demanded the name of the beast curled in unnatural ways before me
It fought with all it had, threw my sins before my eyes 
And yet again in my Fathers name 
I demand his name
His true name
Let me leash this rambling beast
For I see you true identity
You have no power here
He lost grip, 
He fell 
I sent him back to hell
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2012
Blink away the tears
Focus on the mirror
Look into my eyes
Rummage through the tossed away lies
To find
That in the mess there was a kind
Of letter closed away
From me, not meant to stay
Smooth it out and read amongst the lines
Deep breaths will keep me fine
Why?
Is it me?
You desert?
Katlyn Orthman Jul 2014
Dust settles inside my veins,
dirt lingers inside my heart
Broken bones lead to shame
sharp pieces rip me apart
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2012
Falling from the open
Sky
Sinking, sinking
Takes away my breath
As if I had any left
Ships sailing, stay afloat
On top of my tears
An ocean filled
Below the surface
Lay diamonds
Burried in the sand
And all my dreams
That couldn't swim
Are spit back up on land
The winds bellow a
Gruff howl
Sinking, sinking
Enveloped by the waters
Caress
Soft
       Gentle
             Careful
Beautiful sunshine
      Smiling above
Hello
                         Goodbye
They swam off into the sea
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2012
My heart was bleeding out on the floor
A comment cut through to the core
My tears fell fresh with guilt and pain
I felt as if I'd been slain
My head hung low I burst inside
I wish that I could run an hide
Nobody ever said its easy to face your fears
Could leave the toughest man following a path of his tears
A bulletproof vest to protect my skin
Should've thought more about how my conscious ran thin
Slices right through me left me in the dust
I was looking around but there's no one to trust
I was living on the dark side all alone theses days
Could've gone home but I was determined to stay
Away from the light where I might see my shadow
Just to remind me of the person everybody knows
Confused and scared I lost my way
I was living in the dark determined to stay
Giving up a life full of richness
Because I could live knowing that I was different
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
Missing you when I am the one
Who banished you
From my life
In your looks
There isn't anything to special
But it is not your face or body
That draws me to you
It's the tug of your heart to mine
For some unfounded reason
It's you I always glance back at
And I know you have the worst habits
But we are young
There's room for mistakes to be made
So we can grow
But I feel as though if I confess
I might just make a mess
Of these stitches we finally managed to sew
If I tell you my secrets
Will you take me in your arms?
Or will you cast me away?
This deliema has me restless
When I see you
I avert my eyes
Because you can always read what lies behind
The green walls to my soul
Maybe I was to scared and to young
Before
But now ... I just want to know
That I didn't leave your mind so soon
Possibly .... That when you claimed
You .... Loved me
You ment it
I was scared back beneath my covers
By that four letter word
I've seen , I've felt it used to betray
Used to hurt
My bruised heart
Beats with a ragged thump
Do dare I risk the last pulse on you?
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
Oh my heart wails for you
all that you've been through
rest child, I beg you please
these wretched shadows tease

Hold on child the darkness fades
into the light morning shades
surely your father will be back soon
oh my is it noon?

you must not cry
these men must tell lies
he couldn't! couldn't have died

oh, the world goes on
the days grow long
the bottle of whiskey you have is empty
all because he died, on friday the thirteenth

close your eyes imagine him there
do not fret, he's right there
dad could not have died
they must've lied
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
I was sunshine
At the top of mountains
Out classed diamonds
I was the stars in your night sky
I was the only one in your eyes
But I shot you down
Killed you with my lies
I was dressed as beauty
Evil in disguise
A clone of what you thought was perfect
Every angle you thought you knew
Now a stranger
It was you and me,
And eternity
Now it's just you
Without me
Your stronger without me
You can out do the sea
Your like an unexplored galaxy
Just remember the good times
And dont forget me
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2013
Cold
So numb
Almost dead
Breathe in my last
Running from my past
Spun out I would have crashed
So torn and broken I lied
This whole life, I was pretending
I cry to see it now ending
Troubled I run away from my heart
To find what had really pressed start
Glue that held my fake smile
Love that lasted awhile
Heart put on trial
Pain went viral
Love spiral
Smile
Gone
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
Hope in my eyes, , I'm lost in disguise , who will ever find me,are they even searching ? I'm hurting every day,  because my scars are much to deep, and my hill of emotion is to steep, I'm falling at high speed, I'm cursing myself for every bad deed

Reflections of me everywhere , 
Perfection is nowhere, but I'm not hiding anymore, I want to be found, I hate being alone , I want to hear a sound, I'm calling in the night, can anyone hear me? Are you there do they see me? 

How many days on my own? To many left at home, I made a new life, one with love, one that I could rely on, but as soon as I grew happy, it broke and shattered, it was my life nothing else mattered 

Reflections of me everywhere , 
Perfection is nowhere, but I'm not hiding anymore, I want to be found, I hate being alone , I want to hear a sound, I'm calling in the night, can anyone hear me? Are you there do they see me?

Monster they yell
Because they do not see the beauty
Evil they yell
Because he has power
Dragon he is
Strong wings
Loyal mind
Tall neck
Ready to be risen  
From his slumber
His bones are restless
His wings itch
To slap the wind
Dragon roars
People scream
Poor dragon
Doesn't know what it means
Just wants
To be accepted
But people can't see
Beyond the flesh
His structure
They can't see
That he is
Just another creation of this world
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2014
He was a majesty in a world unjust
A place full of death and mistrust
He breathed fire, and his heart was of magic
Gifted to a mortal, who died a death so tragic.

Silent lies the child upon the cobblestone
His beating heart no longer his own
But darkness, betrayal and evil awaited
For the boy to grow and become acquainted.

A man of honor rode up upon his black stead
Sword in one hand the other filled by a bottle of mead
Beside him rode a half-wit poet
Who was a knight himself but didn't know it.

They watched as the kingdom grew corrupt
Lead by a king who should have never grew up
For the heart that beat beneath his breast
Did not belong to his heaving chest.

And with courage from a poor man who had lost his sight
They gathered their forces with a boast of might
And charged at the castle with a horrific roar
To find that courage there, existed no more.

That night they rode away for they were beat
And many discouraged hung their heads in defeat
But just along the brim of the moon
Came a hovering shadow not a minute to soon.

The scaled majesty with the wings of the night
A beast hidden from mankinds sight
Inside his chest beat half a heart
For the other beat miles apart.

In the chest of a coward that had lived in vain
A man that had suffered many in pain
The dragon held up his wings in the cold nights air
And roared "slay me know before he gets here."

But that noble knight felt a guilt like no other
For that dragon he must slay was like a brother
Although he loathed the beast once when his head was not right
He did not loath the creature that dreadful night.

But with the seconds counting down the beast yelled it again
And this time he swung the sword into the chest of his friend
With a terrible screech it fell to the ground
And was parted by the tears of everyone around.

That dragon now belongs to the stars that watch over the dark
And if you look closely you'll see the dragons spark
It was a bravery that saved a village that was broken apart
Because there is no greater strength than a brave dragons heart.
Inspired by the movie

It seems you only catch my good dreams
And give me all the nightmares
But perhaps there's something good beneath horror
A message I must see
So all the gruesome scenes I'll endure
And then maybe when I finally find it
All the nightmares will flee
Not the best that I've done
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2012
I am aware that I am scared
But I don't know where I am
I'm just wandering there
In the dark of the forest
So large and open
So.... Quite
But something tugs at me
Telling me that I should go
But I can't will myself to turn back ...
Not yet
What is it I'm looking for?
I don't know
I can only feel my beating heart
Hear the snapping of twigs
And debris under my bare
And dirtied feet
I can feel
That I'm being watched....
Maybe even ... Studied?
I'm not sure
Only that I am growing
Terribly anxious
Like something will go wrong
But even as I think the words
I feel the claws break
Into my flesh
I let out a scream
The white hot pain
Searing through my back
Leaves me nauseous  
And so vulnerable
All I can bare to do
Is bring my quaking legs to my chest
Rest my head on the forest floor
And lay in the shredded aftermath
Of shock
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
Suns gone from my window 
My pillows lost its comfort 
My blankets seem to strangle me 
I don't feel like myself 
Woken up from a dream 
That had seemed so real 
My bones are aching 
And my hairs a mess 
I wish the dream was real I must confess 
I was running from my past 
I was running to safer arms 
But just as I leaped in the air 
You pulled away 
And you disappeared 
Stupid dreams false hope
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
In my heart I know we'll drift apart,
But I want it to be like it always has been,
I'm scared to see that we might not be,
The people we thought we were,
I want our lives to stay the same,
But truth states that we always change,
Even if we never see it ,
It's there and it can't be stopped ,
So hold on to those few precious moments we had,
Because once we start to drift,
The ocean will not be so kind to float us back ashore
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2014
The wind pushes against the glass
the rain pounds inside your head
you wait for the storm to pass
but it gets worse instead

The sun has gone away
the clouds fill the sky
the warmth won't stay
this life has gone awry

You wait for nature to take its course
and take you from this misery
but you're sunk down
to drown
beneath the current

Resuscitated before death can claim you,
each breath is without air
lungs filled by salty waters
filling and tearing your lungs bare

Panic fills your mind
and you thrash to get out
but you are held under
unable to die and unable to live

In circles we go
around and around
when it stops you'll never know
at the bottom of the ocean you'll never be found
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2012
Flying
                        Away
                                Dust
                                       In
                                The  
                      Wind
                           Chipped
                                   And
                              Broken
                                   Lost
                                           And
                                 Forgotten
You said I'd never be alone
                                              You lied
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2012
The door was locked
I knew the key was in the old clock
Twist the key
And push the door open
There was the black beauty
Each footsteps like a note
Lift my fingers to white and black keys
Push away the dust
I sit before her
And let my fingers lead me
Each note takes away the pain
Drains it from my veins
I fall in love with the melody
Filling the room
Filling my soul
Taking my tears
Making me whole
Uncovering me
Letting me show
But I'm not embarrassed
I revel in it
Breath it in
Drink in the light
Let the happiness fill me
To my bones
And come to an end
Breathing heavy
I lean my head against her soft black paint
Then leave
Glancing over my shoulder
Before I shut the door
And lock it
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
As I lay here dying 
I look for a light 
I know that I'm trying 
My best effort to fight 
Away as the stars 
Of darkness bite 
Breathing is getting hard 
And I'm losing my sight 
Numbness swallows me 
Whole in the night 
All I can feel Is the stinging 
In my left eye but not my right 
Death drags his hands across 
My heaving throat 
I know my life is loss 
When I ebb as though I'm on a boat 
Regrets that I couldn't say goodbye 
Regrets that I'm leaving 
But I can't stop from dying 
Because death will know I'm cheating
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2015
Life began somewhere
It was birthed by the endless universe
It's being an enigma unfathomable by the human mind
But the need inside me,
the burning passion twisting through my bones
suffocating my heart
Swelling in my soul
and intoxicating my blood
begs for the ability to reach out and grasp the understanding

I need to know where the beginning is
I just need to know
My human mind thirsting for the knowledge
Curiosity programmed inside me

It is nearly a physical pain
That I will never know the secrets of the Earth
The hushed whispers faintly brushing my ear drums
And dancing away before I can decipher them

Like a constant dance
we waltz beneath; or inside space?
On this ball of fire locked away by soil
Earth Bound

The need to know life beyond Earthly inhabitants
It's like it has consumed me
I no longer fear Death
I have come to terms with my old friend

In the end I will catch a glimpse of what waits
after my mortality has outlived the shell it sleeps in
Maybe I will be granted wings to fly
in spaces galaxies, endless as they are
Until I am to be reborn

Maybe Earth Bound
Maybe Space Bound
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
Waking up In this foreign place
The walls are closing in
And I can't breath
There's no room for hope
No room for faith
A shattered dream
Rolls down my face
And no matter how hard
I seem to push
These walls are determine
To smush , me
I'm struggling
And shouting
But all I can hear
Is the echoes of my anxiety
On death row
I see my life
Like a slideshow
Past before my eyes
My ribs crack
I scream
I can't desipher
What this means
But Im not waking from this
Dream
All that will be left
Is my echoes
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
I've been thinking of you
I've been missing you
And though my mind is ready to forgive
And forget
My heart can't seem to stop remembering
You broke me
Crumbled me
I hated you for it
I hurt for it
But I have this empty hole
That I just need to fill
Before it swallows me too
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
A choir sings behind me
Collapsed on the floor
My heart beat once more
My hand outstretched
For a prince that never came
For a hero that never saved the day
Crashing at a million miles per hour
Towards a bottomless pit
****** away, chewed up then spit,
Nothing more than a residue
Left over
A mere mark
Of what might've existed
A wasted prayer
Among the mass
One teacher
Of an uncaring class
Fog on glass
Wiped away
Night to the sun
A passed day
Nothing more
Everything less
Left as an empty shell
I'm alone again
Without your touch
I'm not much
My heart ....
There is no beat
My finger tips to the stars....
They do not meet
My time is up
I'll say goodbye
With tears in my eyes
And pain wedging my throat
I leave tonight ..... On the lowest note
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2015
I believe I fell in love with the sparkle in those eyes
How they render me speechless with the portrait of blue skies
Those bottomless pits that I fell and drowned in
As they seem to caress the softness of my skin

Like a lazy river they slowly drink me in
Every sip, a new flutter of emotion will begin
It's a pulling much deeper than physical with you
It's something swimming in the pool of those lazy blues

It's demanding in it's need to be fulfilled
It's a practiced sin with effortless skill
How you captured me with only one look
Has me dangling, struggling to breathe, on your hook
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2014
My blood runs across my flesh
He's here again
here to take me away.

The halls are dark,
and the moon washes in pale light across the floor
My tears don't fall this time,
I am not afraid.

His black wings caress the plush white carpet
stained by my life essence,
and his eyes are filled with such hate
and the blood of his innocent victims
the candles on the window pane burst to life
and the wind whispers across my damp skin.

I raise my shaking hand towards him
begging for him to end the pain,
as crimson liquid spills from my severed veins
they hit the ground and turn to black.

His eyes watch me in curiosity
but his lips curl in a knowing grin
he lifts one hand and shakes one long bony finger,

"You have one chance little one," he whispers

But I've gone too far to look back
I turn to the window,
and watch the white curtains billowing in the icy wind.

"I'm ready," I whisper.

The white curtains touch the tips of the flame
and roar into a hungry sea of fire

"There is no forgiveness once you cross the line,"

I stare at the flames as they bend and flicker
as if they're dancing
taunting me.

My mind was already made.

"There has never been forgiveness for me, my soul belongs to you,"

And as soon as the last word drops from the tip of my tongue
I'm engulfed in the flames.
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
At the break of dawn
the curtains are drawn
The doors are closed
The sidewalks hosed
The sun breaks the clouds
The music is loud
And the clowns wake up again

Put on their masks
to join the masquerade
Their pain begins to fade
When they hide
And quietly slide,
through the day

The jokers fallen
from the deck
The angels have fallen again
This world is never perfect
Not even in the end
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
You are my oxygen
I breath you in
You are my being
You're the stars in the sky I'm seeing
You're my warmth when I am cold
You're my inspiration when I am not bold
You're a fresh poem of beauty
You're full of ingenuity
You hold my heart in your hands
You're my taste when things taste bland
You're my source of life
You're my remedy for pain and strife
You take away my worries
You make me calm when I feel hurried
You're the only person I can truly trust
You're my love and lust
You're the fire of my passion
You're my closest relation
You're stronger than me
You're the best love that love could achieve
You're you and that's perfection to me
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
Snow flakes falling in the abyss
Cold antic whispers of sin
The frozen trail deaths finger tips leave across your soul
Mendacious eyes in the dark
A crook of a finger
Leads you farther into the dark
Hand in hand with the beast with wings of the angles
Satans halo warped and bloodied
Stains of the sinners sins on his robe
Evil lays in wake, but slumbers deeply
Hope is running out
Tick of the cracked face clock
The night of an eclipse
Alls dark for a few seconds
****** a few innocents
Corrupt them
Then consume
Katlyn Orthman Nov 2012
I had walked in the light once
But again I've been devoured by the dark
Which way left or right?
I can't see to decide
It wouldn't matter anyways
They won't give me a choice
Because I lay down ,
And let them take away my voice
Trampled over stomped and smashed
Pushed around hated and bashed
Angrily I brush away
Frustrated tears fresh today
Angers stewing and dwelling
My heart is thumping and swelling
Ah! Scream at the heavens
Breath deep and count to seven
I feel as if the sky is falling
In my head voices calling
Just give me some rest
Im trying! Trying my best
And the rest I leave in the end
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
Hello,
Is anyone there
I'm looking for someone
To take away this pain
I dream of a faceless monster
I cry in my sleep
Somedays I wake up screaming
Trying to get away
Please let me rest!
My throat is hoarse
I've been screaming for you to leave
And yet still you won't
Please god save me
Why are you let this happen
My tears have drowned me
My sorrows swim around me
I wish this wasn't me
But it is
Maybe my nightmares will fade
I can only hope
Katlyn Orthman Apr 2013
Sometimes I pretend I'm someone else
So I don't have to be me
Until I open my eyes
And face my reflection
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2014
Why do I try
When all I do is fail
It's a bitter thing
which taste so stale

Unlike these tears
Which fall in a salty haste
I can't seem to keep up here
As everything I do is at a unacceptable pace

Why am I giving a thought
when each one crash lands
I'm everything perfect is not
And I'm being crushed beneath expectations hands
Katlyn Orthman May 2014
Watch me wither and decay
As I linger and chip away
I'm fading from this place

My hearts fallen out of my chest
and I've tried my very best
to sew it back in

My soul is wearing thin
and I wait for it to take over my skin
As I fall apart

This sad song keeps playing in my head
As my conscious realizes I am dead
Buried deep beneath my sins

Take this empty shell of me
Twist it into to dust, you'll see
There's nothing left to give

I'm falling away
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2013
The ground I walk
breaks beneath my feet
I fall endlessly in my dreams
   What does it mean?
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
Left and right I was surronded,
I couldn't breath,
The air that managed to fill my longs,
Was opaque with dust and clouded,
I felt like I was falling,
And there was no wings to catch the wind,
And pull me up to soar,
I thought this fatal fall was something made up,
A myth to scare the kids,
But right now though I was planted to the ground,
I was falling,
With no control
Katlyn Orthman Mar 2013
The sky hovers watching
Bullets spray from each side
The sky crys wishing
Spreading its arms
Blood pools in the soil
Remains of a conflict settled by war
A hat taken off in sign of respect
A family mourns their loved one
A father with two sons and a daughter too young to remember
A wife with a half a heart buried in the ground
The hallway where he'd sing his songs
Rang without sound
Empty, as the chair he would sit in when he was home
They eat in despair for they feel so alone
The tree outside the window
The one they planted as a family
Shed its leaves in the midst of the summer
Only to sprout leaves so full and rich with green
The branches coiling, wrapping its arms around each other
And behind it tr sunset with hues of red, pink, and a burst of orange
We will all meet again
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2012
Prayer sometimes isn't enough
Ground and battered
The days grow rough
They rip our wings
from our backs
Forbidden to sing
Finding no sun, the days lack
Death snuck up behind the child
Decaying and rotting while still alive
Hungers fingers taunt and tease
Their home was plagued by disease
Skeletons roamed the grounds
Crying children all around
Drink from the hands of TheMother
But it poisons their small bodies
Big eyes stained by famine
Stare into mine
Oh sweet child
So carefully pick her up
I knew she was dying
And I fought back crying
I held her in my arms
This life was only harm
We lived in hell
Dying in the arms of Mother Nature
Will we survive?
Or will we die
Katlyn Orthman Dec 2013
I was falling in love with you,
the way so many people foolishly do.
I felt something inside again,
and I left myself unguarded and open.
I left the shell I called my home
and then your broke me and I was alone

I was empty, just stared at the walls,
It was then I watched them crumble and fall.
I wasn't angry no, not at all
I didn't feel anything as I stumbled through the halls.

It was a pain that I can't explain,
it was something worse than pain.
Something that digs in deep,
and takes your heart for keeps.

I closed the door.
Slid to the floor,
and wished for death once more.

It's a never ending cycle of pain,
if only I had the restrain,
not to go back again
but in the end

*I always do.
Katlyn Orthman Sep 2012
Why must you trouble my already aching heart, 
Why when I'm in the midst of  my happiness 
You must trample over it with your stampede of troublesome words 
Why must you control me with your
Heartbreaking speeches, 
Of how you have changed, 
Of how you can be better, 
But I've heard this many times before  
I will not fall for your pitiful attempts to pull me back into your deathly grip, 
I'm tired of these circling games, 
I'm done with your nonsense, 
So I bid you farewell
Katlyn Orthman Jul 2014
A melody as black as her heart
Playing like a theme song to despair
Dark it dives into your being
Filling your bones with cuts and tears

Singing as color drains and the picture turns to black
Ashes fall down, down, down
A tear of indignation curling it's shapeless body, falling
How does death move so silently making no sound

This fatal lullaby that drags it's poisoned body along
Infecting our minds as well as our souls
Leaving us at mercy to our own sicknesses,
We created upon years of singing with this song
Katlyn Orthman Oct 2012
I can't help but feel
That this'll end it all
I'm scared as I walk down these halls
My whole body shakes
My insides quake
And a storms rebelling in me
I choke back tears
I don't want to know what
He'll say
I don't want my mother to cry
For Jesus sake I don't want to die!
But even now my arms my legs
Everything burns
I
Can feel it crawl it's way
Through my body
I
Can feel it eat me away
I only know that
When I raised my head from that pillow
And glanced down on my body
I was horrifyed
Red swirling patches
Ate up my body
Down my stomach
Down my legs
Along my Back ...
On my face
Cruel reality
Setting in
Was this punishment
For all my sins
Please I'm sorry
But to my mother
I'm last of kin
Katlyn Orthman Apr 2013
We all stand
Stand beside the fire
That lights the way
To each event do we feed the flame
Every word
Every look
Written in the flicker of the orange light
Dancing on the palm of my destiny
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2020
Feilds of Wildflowers
All blooming with her
Looming power

Full and lush with color
Not even rain clouds
Would dull her

They would only feed her flame
Which never seems
To tame

No she flickers like a star
So bright you'll
See afar

And if you follow in her direction
You'll be enveloped
In her protection

Because feilds of Wildflowers
Are lush and
Full of power
Katlyn Orthman Jul 2019
Shaky breaths, and
Weightless shoulders
Lift me higher into
A state of mind where
Lyrics bounce in my
Head, urging this craving
For tension to form
Between muscles and skin.
As I feverishly write
Out a thought that
Make sense in no
Mind, but mine.

Fingertips bleeding words
Unto lined paper
Mind an open area
For thoughts, color, shape,
Intertwining to become
Images playing behind
My eyelids.
A smile bleeds to ink
Traveling from the veins
Of my mind

Wind across my face
Sun warms my blood
Grass rubs along my skin
Close my eyes to see your face
My heart sputters and begins to race
A silent smile on my lips
A feeling so mischievous
Turn my head to the side
Your eyes lock with mine
Hand in hand we look up
Into the endless, boundless sky
Katlyn Orthman Feb 2013
I took a sip, of a wine forgotten
And I was pulled by the force
And through halls not dusted
I was whisked away
In to a room that I had left blank
Walls un-painted
Floors all white
It was my room to fill
Full with delight
Because those darker rooms are gone
The ones that I've lived in so long
I have escaped from their angry claws
Finally unbound from their laws
I'm free again
I'm really free
Katlyn Orthman Jan 2013
The woods burst into flames
Not a hint of remorse
Or a hint of shame

I sat watching the fire dance
I was hypnotized by it
No one gives fire a chance

Slowly the trees began to drop
And the smoke clouded the air
And I felt as though my heart would stop

The leaves scream as they burn
And I feel so numb but so good
It was like the tables had been turned

The chains had been released from me
I was no longer bound to this place
I was set free

The world would taste a piece of freedom I felt
As I burn down the town
And watch all the materials melt
I've been watching a show on people in asylums and their was one on a girl who loved to set fires, I thought it would make an interesting poem
