I'm a ghost.
A reflection of me.
A fractured peice.
Of who I used to be.

You took me.
You shattered my mind.
You broke me.
Oh cruel world that left me behind.

Now I'm in pieces.
But here the pieces will stay.
You may have broken me.
But I won't go away.

I will haunt your life.
I'll be that sick reminder.
Of the people you broke.
Maybe in the future you'll be kinder.

Oh cruel world.
Who broke many a soul.
Who killed and devoured.
Those poor souls whole.

But here are my echoes.
Still I'm this world.
Shouting forever.
Their story untold.

In Solitude

.

In solitude...
There's constant talk of the moon
And incessant wishes upon stars
Each word is cast unto paper
Unsure if they'd stretch that far

In solitude...
I embody pelts of droplets from the sky
As thunder mark the seconds that would elapse
Stagnant puddles of liquid dreams
Ever flowing in endless traps

In solitude...
I feel the urge to lose all balance
Aloneness beckons like a long lost friend
Always strange but familiar
To see and be at the bitter end

Take Me Away

Have you seen it?
Seems like I've misplaced my mind.

I had it for a while...
Now it seems like I'm flying blind.

Can't piece out my thoughts,
a cacophony of riled up birds.

An **** of broken lines...
Overlapping and blurring into incomprehensible words.

Wandered in almost every direction,
but seem stumped at every end.

My mind is rapidly turning,
more foe and less a friend.

Confused is what it is at best.
Derailed far from its once reliable track.

Need to quickly regain my centre,
need desperately to get it all back.

Conjured this up...
With much difficulty.

Strenuous exercise...
For what once flowed freely.

Could it be...
That I have too frequently misused.

The welcome I've received,
that I have carelessly abused.

Ugh... Makes no sense...
Never have for a while.

Conflicting thoughts and words.
Crash into each other into a pile.

Need a reboot,
a reset and a restart.

Need to find my muse,
that stems from the heart.

Curse the mundane!
These excruciating hours of the day.

Begging for the nights,
to take me and my mind away.

I run my fastest
But I still get beat.
I land on my head
When I should on my feet.

I make good grades,
But they make the best.
Their smug little glances
Are the things I detest.

“I wish I could be smart,”
I often wish and pray
But I do know one thing-
Todays a brand new day.

So I’ll keep on going
Though the way might be rough,
But I know I can make it
If only I try hard enough.
It's been a week since you last said the words
That my heart fly away like birds
Remember? You said "I love you"
And I replied "I love you too"
But a week has past and now you're gone
I'm still in love, and you've moved on,
But perhaps I could accept that this is it
That at least right now, we just don't fit
If you could stay and be my friend
Then I could accept, that all things end
Sometimes you know something is going to hurt, but you do it anyway. Because some things are worth being hurt for.
