Punching Bag
Keara Powers Jul 2015
Slit my throat for sanity,
Cut my wrists for fun,
I'll just close my eyes and wait,
Until this all is done.
You've used me as a punching bag
So many times before,
And countless times I've laid
Unconscious on the floor.
I keep saying this can't continue
And yet I still forgave
But tonight I'm breaking free,
I'm no longer your slave.

I Have No Story
Keara Powers Jul 2015
"How could you live

And have no story to tell?"
It’s easy, you see

It was all going well

Till I decided one day

I hated myself,

And then I decided

I hated life itself.

I became so depressed

That I lost every bit of hope

Everything was gone

All I did was mope.

And that’s the reason

I have no story

Because society came

And took away my glory

I'm Dying Here
Keara Powers Jul 2015
The sky it changed

The wind it blew

And now you’re gone

You started anew

I’m alone now

Sad but true

I’m dying here

If only you knew

Heaven and Hell
Keara Powers Jul 2015
You’re in the middle of

Heaven and hell

But I just don’t know

What that means for me.

I suppose it means

I’m just stuck here now

Because wherever you are

Is where I want to be

Far Away
Keara Powers Jul 2015
Let’s go somewhere

Far away,

Where no one tells us

What to say,

And nobody sees us

And knows our names,
Far away from their
Petty little games

Insanity
Keara Powers Jul 2015
Thunderstorm

Hurricane

Rain falling on

My window pane

Crying screaming

Taking blame

Heart is hurting

Feel the shame

I can’t escape

All the pain

Don’t know how

I’m even sane

Afraid
Keara Powers Jul 2015
I'm not afraid of heights,
Not deep water, or love
I'm just afraid of falling
To the ground from up above
I'm afraid of sinking downwards
Through the depths of the sea
Or loving with my whole heart
If he doesn't love me

Choking On Words
Keara Powers Jul 2015
I'm choking on words
I'll never say
Written in pen
They smear and fade
But when the sun
Rises at dawn
Maybe then
You'll hear my song

War With Love
Keara Powers Jul 2015
Hope the wound heals
But it never does
Maybe that's cuz
I'm at war with love
Can't keep my feelings
Hidden away inside
Don't want the morning
Stop, the sun can't rise
I only like the nighttime
See the stars above
But that's when I am lonely
Cuz I can't feel your love

Drowning
Keara Powers Jul 2015
You say you love
Me but I'm sure
That you just still
Love her more
You keep whispering
Her name in your sleep
As I drown in the sound
Of my own heart beat

The Game
Keara Powers Jul 2015
All this pain

Will soon be gone

As I become

More withdrawn

I lose the pain

It’s almost dawn

And yet again

I’m just a pawn

The game we play

Goes on and on

I lost you then

And you’re still gone

Torn Apart
Keara Powers Jul 2015
Teary eyes

Broken heart

Life has torn

Me apart

It comes in waves

I close my eyes

Hold my breath

Count the lies

See the stars

In the skies

Feel the pain

Watch the sun rise

And suddenly

I realize

“Happy” is just

A lame disguise

(To see what’s on

The inside

Is to be the one

Who’s truly wise)

— The End —
