The Truth Is I'm Scared
I have this horrible habit of not feeling my feelings
I don't know if its because I'm scared or if I even do feel
Maybe in the moment I don't; feel
Maybe those emotions just throw themselves into the ever spinning ball of feelings swirling in the catacombs of my mind
And they just sit and fester

Maybe all this is true:
But where do they go, you ask.
Well its a damning thing it is
That one small, tinny, most insignificant event can release months worth of anger, despair, and fear and hate
The tiniest thing can unveil the truth
The curtains which hides my eyes lifts for maybe one moment
But I already see it and I begin to cry
Because what I see, I don't like
What I see, I hate

So I sit here clamping my teeth so hard they might shatter
Holding my breath so in my throat sobs gather
Worthless tears that don't even matter
I threaten myself, I threaten, my heart
I threaten I'll beat me until my skin parts
Yet, nothing will happen
I'll probably forget the one day that I felt
And I'm ashamed to tell you why
Because what I do is wrong:
I just walk away
I make no changes
I once again feel no more
Why?

Because I'm scared out of my ******* mind
I'm scared, and I can't tell anyone
Because if I do its real
And if its real
Then I'm ******

All He Saw Was Red
he stared at his hands with his knees held close
his arms hugging his folded legs
the water ran red that night
his clothes providing an infinite pollution
as they held fast to his weakening frame
the mop upon his head fell in strands around his face
the deep crimson falling by his gaze

she always complained about his hair
how the dark veil covered his crystal emerald eyes
he now struggled to keep from whimpering
as the pipes shifted he involuntarily remembered:

the sadistic snickering, the suffering screams,
he tried to stray his thoughts but it just became louder,
the ghastly scene which had laid out before him
the numbness of the mind the freezing of a breath
and a frail, innocent bird broken on the ground

he saw it all
how he lost her all
so he killed them all

And all he ever saw was red; that was all
A little, ambiguous story

Such Silly Questions
Please don't ask such silly questions
Don't believe society's lies
For the truth is:
No one knows
And if one claims so
Then grows his nose

For man just drifts and drowns
Sinking sorrow then surrounds
Falling fastly to the ground
Where your screams make no sound
As you plunge down
Never to be found

Please Don't Ask Me
Please don't ever ask me why man does what he does
Why he envies, Why he lies
Why he screams up at the sky
To a God that never dies

Please don't ask me why a man thinks the way he does
With all pride and no shame
Even when he is to blame
Yet forever he still reigns

Please don't ask me why man feels the way he does
Why he kills with bitter vengeance
Hiding from a masked menace
With no thought of repentance

Please don't ask me why man falls
Failing to take any weight at all
On his knees, breaking his brawl
Till only he can crawl
His mangled mind mauled

And please don't ask me why man endures the way he does
Even when there's nothing left to do
His mind's broken in two
And his final breath is due
Yet he somehow stands anew

It Came To Be My Name
Darkness:
Darkness was my pain
My rod, my staff, my cane
For darkness I became

Not for evil, power, or gain
Nor for lust of mighty reign
But because I held such disdain
For the things to which I am chained

From the sky it fell like rain
A dark and growing stain
Chilling my shredded veins
The source of all my shame

Nothing At All
It was that kind of sadness that made you sick
A disease of disaster developing within
But this was the kind where your stomach feels barren
Choking on everything but the air breathed in

A dry-heaving war between the lungs and the heart
A force of a thousand men tearing you apart
The pressure, within, goes all to your head
Where reason is madness, like the evil man said

But there was no reason, no reason at all
And they ask and you say, "Well, nothing I recall."
There is nothing worse than nothing, nothing at all
For the cure sits beside you but your reach is too small

Blissful Ignorance
once you know the truth there is no going back
you cannot unsee it
there is no longer a choice to stay oblivious to the unknown

all these answers you search for cannot be found for a reason
watch the show
stay in front of the curtains

don't look behind
for ignorance is bliss
and wisdom is prison

We're Not Kids Anymore
I was selfless person
Afflicting all the pain and anger I felt towards others onto myself
But the scars, they cover my body
All of spaces filled up
No more room for the lies, the screams, or the fights

Before, I was at fault
But now I see
And we're not kids anymore
I have nothing to lose
And now I can choose

The 66th Book
i can't explain what happened
the air above blackened
where people fell and flattened
the crunch of bones imagined

i can't describe the sound
when the Son of Satan crowned
the cheers and laughter abound
the noise of protest drowned

i can't describe the sight
when Satan's tribe did smite
the Son of God in white
just as John did write

i can't describe the smell
of those in locked up cells
their heads and arms they fell
refusing to go to hell

i can't describe the taste
of all the human waste
bodies all defaced
none of them were traced

i can't describe the feel
to see the weak kneel
the touch of burning steel
the real Achille's Heel

Follow
**** the slaves
Face the master
**** him too
And face disaster

Escape the hounds
But not the pastor
Who hung your mom
Up in the rafters

Safety ahead
Run ever faster
They think they've won
Hear their laughter

But there is a secret
Where the pale trees gather:
For it is the place
Where all humans shatter

J. Doe
I have no face or name
No family to blame
No friends of flesh
No heart in my chest

I have no age or date of birth
With all this, you'd think I'm cursed
But no fear comes of what I do
For I have nothing I can lose

There's Smoke in the City
Its the haze of talking all around
The slow moving of the train and a push against your back
In the streets where the sun never shines
And the clouds touch the ground

Where all you wish is to get up
But you keep falling down
Fog's in your head
And mist films your eyes

The constant buzzing in your ears
The smell of rotten beer
Puffs of smoke dance about
The ache of your feet upon the ground

Open the door to your twelve by four
And it feels so frightening
Vision starts whitening

The silence is so loud
When your head isn't in the clouds

Toby Boy
my father was a *******
my mother, an angel

i heard his words
and cried with my brother

i listen to fights
and hid in the closet

my sister never spoke
and hung in the rafters

i cared too much
and showed too little

i am lost
i want mommie

but she flew so high
while father screamed below

Friends of the Dead
Is it wrong to miss my friends of the dead
Though shadows of dread
And all in my head

Still skin I shed
For them I pled
Even though I've gotten ahead

My tears turned red
From my eyes they bled
Drips of crimson, watch it spread

What A Vicious Cycle
And I have never been so depressed
As when my hope is not oppressed
Floating in the sky
Too **** high

The Magician comes packed
As torment sparks at contact
Unaware where my feet are at
I didn't mean to do that
I never mean to do this

empty essence
its that feeling of lightening
crackling through your veins

a sense of urgency and restlessness
gritting teeth, jaw clamped shut

trying to stifle a scream, deep within
muscles flex, knuckles turn white

head in hands and hair in fingers
verging a threat to the roots clung tight

"you can't change or progress"
"locked away in the corners of your mind"
"no happiness or sadness"

stagnate and still
while rotting away

A Mesmerizing Stupor
It was a quiet whisper among the trees
A beam of light through the leaves
The moon above smiles in bliss
The sweet smell of a stainful kiss

Swaying gently below the stars
Tired eyes sparkling with Mars
Night hums to her little nest
Dancing, softly in a drunkenness

You bat your eyes to keep awake
But your knees below begin to quake
One blink opens your heavy eyes
Darkness surrounds, hearing your cries

You foolish child, heart broken in two
For dreams never really do come true

Whispers in the Leaves
And I loved you

Not for your hair, face, body, or talent
Nor for the mask you wore for the sinful world's malice
But because you were you and I was me
And the sun it shone so beautifully

Through the trees, on the flowers
We lie together through the hours
Whispering secrets, dreams, thoughts, and sadness
I would stay here if it drove me to madness

I'm sorry I left
But please don't go deaf
For I whisper though those trees:
"I will always be with thee"

For the forests that have less brush
The fog around these rush
Giving all dwellers its shadows

Whispers of Love
with heavy lids i open my eyes
your gentle hums bring butterflies
i hold you close, bone to bone
together, we are no longer alone
all memories dance in our brains
fascination and obsession pulse through our veins
drifting to sleep, love in my floating heart

your heart beat whispers to which i wake
i smile and turn to see your face
and once again i start to cry
seeing the empty place where you used to lie

what am i?
Never was I destined to reside in this skin suit
My mind birthed from a distance dwelling
And my heart overgrows it's case
I only wear eyes and ears
But no tongue

My nature is to observe and comfort
For I cannot speak or be seen

What am I, but a tortured being
Far past death
But never past pain

Worse Than Hell
i have seen hell,
and its not what many believe
for the sickening screams and ghastly gore
the melting of men and the definite damnation
are the suffering souls' torment
but no pain comes from the skin
instead they are numb

the mouths are sowed shut and the lungs are collapsed
cannot feel a knife plunged into a head
cannot feel sympathy for those around
no anger or sadness
no happiness or love or hate
the only thing felt is loneliness
completely alone forever

the horror and shrieks come not from pain of the flesh
but from the loneliness of the spirit, heart, and mind
for loneliness is fear, confusion, and hopelessness

only minds can process such
and only hearts can feel such
only souls can remember
these are the instruments with which the screeches come out
for the mouth is sowed shut

most of you might think this is a story, a lie
you have never been alone
for those who know are very few
because most do not survive

alone
it is the worst punishment of all
there is no other that causes greater misery
or reduces man to such madness

Memories of the Happy Souls
I have always been amazed
At the people who turn their heads away from the dead

I feel like its dishonoring
Just as the Father turned His head from His Son

And this is why so many people get broken
By not looking at their loved ones
They don't accept the truth

Holding onto an unreal version of what could've been
Which breaks the heart everytime the veil of fantasy slips away
When the memories are far more happy and true

The Day I Died
When I came to
It wasn't the tears
Or the screams and disappointed looks that broke me

It was the fact that I could see
Smell, taste, and hear
It was that I was so close to success
And they weren't supposed to wake me
When I could almost touch death and breath my last breath
All I saw was darkness
Floating in oblivion
Alone in a dark space
The past is blackness
The present is darkness
The future cannot be found
I went numb
My heart froze
Though I still breath
And ever since
I have not escaped
What if our dreams are memories
That we wanted to forget

What if we forgot
So that everyone could forget

We forget not suffer,
But in suffering we forget

The wretched scenes, these morbid means
Are just, but what, these darkly dreams?

But those who see the cryptic key
Unlock the oblique, sadistic spree

Do you remember the first time your heart did freeze?
The first time your body and mind at ease?

Fear All Good
As I held out my hand to the glimmering blue
The light absorbed my skin, with a glowing hue
Drifting, where once, darkness was all I knew
Peace of mind, which I could never look to

But the light cast me down, away I flew
Once again I was the Shadow's to subdue
No flicker in my eyes, mind withdrew
I am their's again, for the light was untrue
Then all hell's demons begin to ensue
Remember that Satan is beautiful too

Enigma
When it all happened
No one knew why
But now everyone knows
At least those who are alive
To find oneself is positive in society
But when I searched myself
I went too deep
And all I saw was darkness

Horrific and hellish
The internal warfare within
Created a hatred for the evil
And the people in this wretched world

To understand a monster
Are you not one yourself?
So I tortured with hate
The creature inside

A wish for its extinction
With no one to know
Until it was too late
The night of its death

Cast
The moment a child loses its innocence
Is the day the spirit starts to die
The day we entered this world
Was that not when we started to cry?
For the spirit knows when it is cast to this earth
The place between heaven and hell
Life is an experience and time is dependent
For once a child loses its innocence
Is the day before they cry
Dec 2016 · 284
True Loss
To know a child
Its laughter and love
To cling to it tightly
As if it were a dove
The feeling is joy
Peace, smiling, and hugs
But forced from it's life
Time erases as drugs
The story behind this is of a little boy who used to be in my life who I cared for and loved very much. But, life pushed me away from him, and when I came back he looked at me as a stranger. What pain is caused in a blank stare.

The Nokey Prison
It's so dark in here
lonely,
quiet,
and lifeless

It feels so cold and damp
All noises ricochet about
Echoing all throughout
As this prison shakes and groans:

Curled in a ball
Hugging my knees
Take me away, *******, please
For it is after the fall
And you told me after, means done with all

Undeserving Ghosts
I cannot recall the last time that I didn't feel completely alone
For once a human has fully submitted to death
Whether there is an after or a life after

It can never be a beating heart
A warm body
A breathing organism
Or a functional mind again

It floats in Elysium
Never living but never dying
Alone in the barren land
It was silent for some time
But the darkness breached my mind
Shrieks of laughter and smiles unkind
Come you spirit intertwine
For you and I follow no signs
Darkness comes before the Beast of Hell
It floats in the blackened crimson cell
From its presence, began tortured, chilling screams
from each and every child beams
Their innocence and their joy
The beast now begins to destroy
Murderous affliction
Without any restriction
Their lack of guidance
Allowed manipulation by the tyrant

MIRRORORRIM
I do not know
This monster across from me
It is hateful but suffering
Arrogant yet hopeless
Livid yet cold
Blood-thristy but exhausted
And when it frightened me, even a little
It would laugh hysterically at my fear and sorrow

Debilitation to Rebellion
You don't know what to now
Because they've 'fixed' you
And you can 'live' again

But the pain remains
The addiction
The affliction
The vengeance
The rage
The impulse
So you stop taking the meds
To start to live again
The way you love and know how

**** this ****!
You are Insane
You are Sadistic and Suicidal
A Psychopath and Manic
**Just embrace it
And here I am
Once again
Planning my destruction

Today I stop
I stop the medicine
I stop eating and drinking
I stop sleeping
I stop socializing
I stop lying to myself

And today I start
To cut
To purge
To drink
To lie
To cry
To write
To save

I start saving pills
To stop my chills

The Day I Awoke
The world froze
When my eyes absorbed you for the first time

I still see her face

But I cannot place her laugh
Or the smell of her comfort

Her voice has escaped my ears
I lost the picture of her talking

But I remember her touch
I remember how she made me feel:
Safe, protected, and tranquil
Loved and no longer alone

I remember how she understood my madness
And she took on the burden of hell with me

I cannot imagine her sitting in front of me
But I still see her soul and heart crystal clear
That is what I fell in love with

Even though the world screamed it an abomination
I regret never telling her all this
But the world has already banned our interactions

But I will never forget my love and your heart

Devil's Preference
Loneliness is the Devil's choice weapon
When you slip away within
The bitterness and pain contorts the actions
The darkness and solitude manipulates the mind

You do unimaginable things of which you never dreamt of
Become something inhumane and insidious
And the only company are the voices inside
In this moment, thinking of death, you believe you are alone
But little did you know the Devil stood by you this whole time
Whispering in your ear

The only one who comforted, though it was with evil
Oblivious to his presence
You did his deeds
Repentance is necessary
Death is soon

Running heavy down my arm
Dripping off my finger tips
Onto the ground where it pools
As I stand there, weakly
With another man's splattered with my own
Even if you don't succeed
Even if your heart is still beating
And you are still breathing
You died that night
The night you thought you'd see the light

They All Die In The End
Revenge is such a grueling game
Hatred, darkness, and sorrow, such passionate pain
It will turn you into something you're not
Seeking vengeance is something taught
And once this pursuit is at it's end
The result is death whether you lay or you stand
