I feel like screaming
I feel like dreaming
Serene
Obscene
Thoughts
Forgotten decency
Tired of living in secrecy
Feeling a thundering pain inside
The past has caused these scars
Like an irrational fear of cars
Images floating around in my mind
Forgotten memories lost in time
My life is gone in a flash
A check my body cannot cash
The tears they well up deep inside
But other than that I'm fine

It sees without really seeing
It hears us without being
It kills
It steals
It doesn't feel
It has only it's will
To fight
This night
Not caring what's wrong or what's right
Locked in
So tight
At the very brim of fright
It expands with a shallow sigh
It takes control of everything
This, sunken eye
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Do you hear that?
Screaming silently
Into the night
My might
Is heated regrettably
My mood
Is chaos ensued
My life
Is passion renewed
Her face
Is matched by few
The visions
Explode into my view
All these things happen
When a spark
Burns anew

You're beautiful
But you disagree
You're perceptive
Yet you overlook me
I'm here
And I always have been
Enamored by your grace
Captivated by your face
Hoping for the tiniest taste
Of life with my arm around you
Forward
I know
But thats who I am
I know I can make it last
All you have to do
Is give me a chance
(c) Steven Forrester

What is talent?
Is it power
Is it pride
Should it show
Or should it hide
I know what you think
You ask why
I hear it all the time
You've got talent man
But do I
Can you measure talent
Through structure and rhyme
As much as i hear "you rock"
I hear "you ****"
Because they weren't happy with my words
Because it wasn't what they thought they should have heard
Because their friendliness must be paid for
not earned
I know that I'm good
I know that I should
Let my talent shine
But keep in mind
I'm not divine
I'm just a regular guy
Who loves to write
Works of rhythm and rhyme
I do not think I'm the best
I'm just like the rest
The rest of you who read my work
Who have felt the same pain and hurt
Your life reflected in my art
And also my heart
And so this is for you
All the ones who've
Seen the colder side
Had a reason they had to hide
For everyone who has ever cried
I write for one thing
Its the least I could do
for all of those who
have seen their lives through
the words I write, and then feel new
All of my readers
All of my friends
I write this for you
For, it is you, with the talent
(c) Steven Forrester

I know a place
A place of beauty
A place of serenity
A place which offers clarity
Salmon flock here
Bears feed here
Sasquatch wanders here
...Maybe
Among the redwoods
Ample and pure
Holding centuries
Of memories
Rising high
Up into the sky
I lie in wonder
The beauty taking me asunder
And under
In a feeling of awe
Mary Jane thrives here
Mushrooms thrive here
Men live here
But one thing rises above the rest
Of course...
You know...
You"ll see...
The beauty is breathtaking
All this I've come to know
In Humboldt County
Where the tall trees grow

Tears
They well up
Unexpectedly
My heart
Torn to shreds
Regularly
My mind
Running these scenes
It's obscene
The way you talk to me
My soul
It's empty
I'm drowning
In a cascade
I keep reminding myself
Not to let it get to me
Not to let her hurt me
But she does
Every.
*******.
Time.
I can't hide
I can only face it
I can't lie
It's getting hard to take it
That high path is getting rough
Recklessly rocking
On a rickety and ramshackle road
Bridge my heart and soul
What is that sound I hear?
A listless lilting liquid hammer
I stammer
Just another tear
Steven Forrester Feb 2011
My world comes crashing down
Around me like a storm
Raging forth
An unstoppable force
The pain tears at my flesh
And I am nothing
Once again
Tears fall upon the glass
How could it happen so fast
I am attached
Nothing I can do
It would never work
I know
As I attach to her
She still clings to her past
I find myself amidst tentacles
Glowing green
Pulling me
Under the sea
As if a ship overturned
The darkness
Yes
The darkness has returned
(c) Steven Forrester

Ignition
Flames do fly
My vision
Does try
To see why
Every time
I die inside
Pushed passed the pyre
I travel down the wire
With speed so dire
Feel my desire
Climb higher
And higher
And I admire
The funeral pyre
The sound of the crier
Burning the liars
I never tire
Scorching the world
I am FIRE
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Oct 2017
My life is a pit
Of pity
And self loathing
So much so
I constantly fall
For wolves
In sheep's clothing
My mind is mirror
Cracked upon it's surface
Living in constant fear or
Numb
More or less
My heart is sand
Ground into dust
Feeling so bland
With no one I can trust
Or at least that's how it seems

My will is vibranium
Strong and indestructible
Absorbent
And so invulnerable
I rise
Ready
To meet my fate
As once again I gaze
Into the face
Of heartbreak
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Aug 2016
Clad in vinyl
Bound and gagged
My whip cracks
Cleave clefts of flesh
And the blood trickles
Lightly
Pain is pulsing
Penetrating prior unknowns
Chains and leather
Inclement weather
The pain and pleasure
A pinnacle of understanding
Transcending
Our reality
Like lsd
A mind ****
Of the brutal but beautiful
An ode to those beyond
Rather above the pale
I tie your hands
Bind your feet
Kiss your face
And release
The Master.

Drip, drip, drip
Hear the the sound
on the ground
as we sit

Drip, drip, drip
Becomes a rattle
to the cattle
as we sit

Rain on the rooftops
a season where it doesn't stop
for days or weeks
like an eternal sleep
in which we're trapped
like rats
or bats
hunted by cats
and men alike
a new *****

one of peace
one from above
A rain of brotherly love
No war
No fighting
Freedom soars
Like lightning

The sound above
brings the call of a dove
olive branch in tow
Though we know
There are those who are still cold
lost their hold
lost control
of the world around them

I think its over sometimes, and then
I hear a sound as we sit
a word sets on my lips
as the rain goes
Drip, drip, drip

Some times I wonder
Some times I think
Some times I ponder
Am I on the brink?
It seems so simple
But is it really?
A heart is delicate
And mines the epitome
It's barely holding together
In a messed up jury rigged state
Made presentable
With safety pins
And a lot of tape
When ever I start to feel
The way she makes me
I think is this real?
'cause it feels like a dream

I want to know
What makes her tick
I want to know
What makes her sick
Somebody better check me
Quick

I'm catching feels
And I can't catch my breath
My heart thumps
And I reel

Feeling feathery
Frightfully fearing
While furiously fighting
Figuratively of course....
This finesse at finding
Fiery finality

Kind of makes me hesitate
So commiserate
Emancipate
And resuscitate
Let's conversate
And enjoy the ride
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Forever
In times of late
Forever
I will wait
To hold the tremendous power
In the very palm of my hand
My enemies will cower
In fear
It's clear
Whats been written in the sand
Call this an ancient writ
Once I have it
Forever
I'll hold this scepter
As an ancient
A powerful specter

As you feel the cold air touch your face

you do not know i follow at a rapid pace

you notice me out of the corner of your eye

now is the time that you die

i will drain you of your life force

this is my only course

you think you know me but im a stranger

your not aware that your in danger

in my eyes there is a fire

so look at me and the flames get higher

my life will end upon the stake

people know me as the vampire, Drake

A shroud of violence

A cloud of pestilence

inside a darkness flows

its something everyone knows

inside this darkness grows

from my head down to my toes

i feel nothing in my heart

as if stabbed by a dart

you try to eliminate this harshness

but all thats left is darkness
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester May 2016
I sit back

And relax

Through all that i lack

I take my fury to the max

As the numbness spreads farther

My eyes get darker

With every breath

I wish for death

In a world that keeps getting harder

I'll be the next martyr

As I say the end is nigh

I am the lonley ones thought, Sly
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester May 2016
When things are stacking up
My mind is packing up
And I've had enough
Of a world that seems to hate me
Of a world where theres no one left to save me
The new one
The lost one
The young one
All of them in my head
I wish I were dead
For causing this turmoil
Which I dread
Bury me in the soil
Before my anger is fed
By a lost tease
A new crush
And a young love
Who knows where it'll lead
Now hush
And fly away my dove
It bulds up to pull me down
Until I'm underground
Until I cant hear the sound
Of three sweet voices in which I've drowned
In love with the lost
Lost with the young
And a young friendship with the new
A voice of reason is trapped behind a door
Because where you have one voice
I have six more
Reason
Is not what they speak
Treason
Is all that they reap
I've come to a new assumption
Drowning in an emotional eruption
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester May 2016
I want to burn the world

see my plan unfurled

watch the masses on fire

their screams make the flames rise higher

i want to burn

i hate to learn

new things in this world that keeps turning

**** with me, and you'll be burning

I am the first, so with fire i start

i am a monster, known as mark
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
From the past I am revealed

A lonely mind to which I appeal

To rescue him

From his dark past

Although my chances are slim

We make progress fast

I am his past-life manifestation

I must stop his dark delegation

With the only tools I know how

To make these in-mind dark creatures bow

I may not be able to save him

But **** it, I'll try,

I am Steven's rescuer, Daemon
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind

I'm a writer
Inside and out
I'm a liar
Is what you all shout
When my heart breaks
It blasts open the gates
Of the darkness within
I know I'm guilty as sin
My mind falters and surrenders
And now i can't remember
What they do
When they have control
They hurt who
I love and wish to hold
I thought they were gone
I thought i didn't have to run
Anymore
I'm so sore
Inside my frontal lobe
My spirit travels across the globe
As i'm expelled from my body
And I'm locked out
And i hurt everybody
And gut them like they were trout
Caught on a hook
Of mind totally shook
An empty shell
Confined to hell
As i wonder an look around
With my face to the ground
I erupt into a shout
Due to another blackout
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester May 2016
In a world of pesimism

I am the messenger of optimism

I'll break his clouded vision

This is my only mission

To show him that there still is good in existence

I'll fight his in-mind resistance

I must bring love back to his heart

Before his subconcious falls completely apart

There once was only one

To see that this mission is done

Now I am added to this mix

Of voices, actions, and tricks

To help part six with his goal

To see that Steven doesn't turn cold

I leave you all with this solemn promise

I will pick up the peices, my name is Thomas
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester May 2016
I feel my anger rising

Though all my deep despising

I feel my fury soar

Surrounded by things i abhor

You let me slip through your fingers

Vengence replaces a love that lingers

Tip toe tip toe past my mind

All these answers I must find

I'm not who I once was

They know not what this pain does

I am a messenger of revenge

The courrier of hatred sends

We break through his mental dam

I am the sabatoeur of stevens mind, Sam

A boding of ill will
Gives him a new life, a new thrill
Enter the tenth part of torment
A past life that lies dormant
Enstilling a passion in those we've met
People die
And now I watch her cry
I thought I had found the love of my past
A friendship which runs so deep
Meets a precipice so steep
And alas
It was all a cruel lie
Causing a soul to attatch itself to a mind
The mind of this poor boy
So lost
So hurt
So cold
His life spent as a mere toy
Such a cost
What's it worth
The loss of one's hold
Making happiness so hard to find
Reality
Is a mystery
To a mind shrouded in misery
Hoping for a feeling of sincerity
Or clarity
A rarety
That his soul should be unfurled
Upon this world
So lost
So hurt
And so cold
We have all but lost control
A sickness not even it's host could fathom
Yet I'm merely a piece of this puzzle
And my name is Adam
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
A beast who travels by twilight
And kills his prey in the dead of night
With his soul aflame
For this new game
This game is cunning
This game is fast
This game keeps running
But it doesn't last
He stalks his prey so quietly
And kills this game with extreme ferocity
Who is this beast
Who turns the innocent into a feast
What is this beast I see
I know now,
This beast is me
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind

Once
I was a man
Consumed by the voices
Causing horrible choices
Made by a corrupted mind
But know i find
Silence
Deathly silence
Sweet silence
A clarity unrivaled
Mark
Drake
Darkness
Sly
Sam
Daemon
Thomas
Adam
All of them diminish
This series can finally finish
What it began
Now I am a man
Cured of psychotic visions of vast violence
By the occurrence
Of my mind's sweet silence
(c) Steven Forrester- From Diary of an Ominous Mind
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Clarity
In unity
Your scrutiny
Can never pay you well
Arrogance
Upon your stance
This final dance
From death
Twirling and whirling
And feeling so free
Hopeless and thoughtless
And caught in between
As the world keeps turning
And churning
With every lunar pull
Above
And beyond
In space that's so cool
Screaming
And careening
Off course
Of course
You know that to each single life form
Caught in this storm
Is caught in the throws of terror
Fairness in vitality
Death in severity
Life in virility
Pulling and tugging
Lifting and lugging
Laughing and crying
Living and dying
In the eyes I see the knowledge
I see the intelligence
The ability
The stability
Unable to attain
To ascertain
And regain
Life
Such is the struggle...
...
Of gods and men
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
I cant seem to find
That solid reason why
I try, and I try, and I try
To keep my spirits high
The world just falls apart
Shatters at my feet
Hoping my heart will start
As I fall down to my knees
Seeing the light through wary alarm
As I lie face down in the street
The blood does pool around me
Footsteps echo all around
A person who no one can see
A reverberating sound
One that doesn't exist
And now I'm gone
Another mark
On another list
It's all the same
Nobody really knows my name
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Apr 2011
There is a face in my mind
Difficult to find
A girl who should be mine
A world thats out of time
It's a crime
I find
To not share these rhymes
I wonder why
I try
so hard just to find
A vanishing face
Deep in my mind
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Thinking of a time
Thinking of a place
Thinking of a rhyme
Thinking of the face
That brings forth my power
Like a ******* tower
Higher and higher
We fly
Together
Whether the weather watches us wait
Is a question to be answered by the fates
Thinking
Wondering
Being
Pondering
The world around
Is out of the shroud
Keeping me down
Now I rise
I rise higher than ever before
I rise to meet the score
As I sit wondering and drinking
Drinking brings forth the thinking
Thinking of a time
Thinking of a place
Thinking of a rhyme
Thinking of the face
That makes me wonder
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester May 2012
In my mind
There is a vision
Precision
Is the key
And me?
I can hardly breathe
When she speaks to me
The world is hazy
It's crazy
How much I'm in to her
As I try to learn
Everything about her
She can make me smile
Just by saying hi
And I
Just can't help but be lifted
I'm gifted
In this situation
And patience
Is non-existent
I'm persistent
And head over heels
I wonder how she's real
Break the seal
And steal
My heart
My art
Seems to flow
And I know
It's you
Bringing through
Testifying to
The sky
I'm high
Just from you
Tell me?
What should I do
I barely knew
But I can't stop thinking about you
Steven Forrester Mar 2012
Sometimes I wonder
What's with life
What's with pain
What's with money
And how do we gain
This life is a train
Just bouncing, bumbling, and barreling through
It's a long ride
A painful stride
And a graceful glide
This life
Has me upside down
Just turned around
Thinking
Why's everyone so uptight
High strung
And just wound
Find me ripped
Whipped
Gripped
And lit
You got a secret?
Better to be tight lipped
Than split lipped
Then slip
Into eternity
Serenity
Is deafening
Defining
This life
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
Let it pass
Is what they say
It's all in the past
One thousand yesterdays
But can they really tell
That inside I'm in hell
Trapped under a love spell
By someone who doesn't care anymore
And now I'm torn
Shredded to pieces
Battered and broken
In a river of tears
I sit soaking
Drowned in my fears
Can you hear the thunder
The thunder that pulls me under
The crimson tide
And the clover blood
I'm now undone
I know I cannot last
As I look into the past
Wishing the pain would pass
Till then I'll just stare
I'll stare through the looking glass
And try to forget the one who once cared
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Aug 2016
I see beauty in her face
Eyes glistening
Full of grace
Shyness apparent
In time and space
This life or a variant
There's no time to waste
Everything is in flux
Rocking my core
I want a taste
Of what
I'm not sure
My hearts are beating
Pulsing
Pure
In your eyes
I watch as a star is born
The magnitude
Of your gaze
So much larger
Than my box
We close the door
Wave good bye to the past
But this is no end
My friend
Let the adventure begin.

We can not thrive
divided
but must stand together
a nation united
Not Pagans
Not Christians
Not Jews
Not Muslims

Americans

Not Arabs
Not Persians
Not whites
Not blacks
Not Latinos
Not Indians
Not Asians

Americans

Stand together my brothers
Stand for freedom my sister's
Stand for love
Stand for light

Brighten the night
And realize
We are one
We are all

We are life

We are America.

Eyes like black holes
They draw me in
Green as the spring bloom
Soft and inviting
A voice like a melody
A laugh like a song
A caress so tenderly
What's taken so long?
Mere folly
Or fortune
I'm not quite sure
Malicious and meticulous
Milling out malignant
Thoughts of malcontent
My melancholy
Maybe
A cure
To sit
And laugh
Without pressure
Or care
Means more to me
Than water
Or air
You sit across and giggle
And I just stare
Ask what you will of me
My story is bare
My background
My triumphs
My sadness
It's there
Ask any question
It's nice to finally share.
Feel free to reciprocate
You will always have my ear
There's not a story you have
That I don't want to hear
Things are beginning
As before I stated
I find that in this spring
I'm #twitterpated

Tyranny
Is infamy
And it consumes us
Instantly
It absorbs us
Completely
The source
Incredibly
Is our own problems
Our own people
Change occurs
In a colored steeple
As others take a needle
To feel good
To get healed
To feel understood
To be revealed
As one
One people
One race
One taste
No haste
Uncontrolled fusion
We're all simply human

Valentine
Oh Valentine
Invade my heart
And consume my mind
An effigy
In clarity
A purity
In unity
Take my hand
And walk with me
Close your eyes
What do you see?
Valentine
Oh Valentine
Take hold
Of my sight
When weak
Use my might
For you
I will fight
I find happiness
In your light
I can't deny
I won't ask why
Bliss is written
In the sky
In my mind
You are divine
So invade my heart
And consume my mind
Valentine
Oh Valentine

Thump thump
What is that?
Thump thump
There it is again
Thump thump
It's coming from inside
Thump thump
I'm starting to feel alive
Thump thump
Ice is falling from my skin
Thump thump
Is this a sign?
Thump thump
Shall I begin?
Thump.....

I see this face
It's beautiful
Desirable
Inconceivable
Intangible
Fantastical
It's radical
How this image
Takes a hold of me
A *****
Veritably vanquishing
This viciously vile
Vortex
And yes
I feel alive
At my door
I hear as opportunity knocks
Taking the form
Or figure
Of a fox
Slyly slithering
In to my thoughts
Eating away
My cage
And I awake

Was it just a dream?

I don't thinks so......
For Adrienne
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
I take a drink
And then I think
I'm not alone
But still on the brink
Of insanity
In calamity
Flashing lights
A gun blast sounds
It keeps me sane
It keeps me bound
I sip again
And take another shot
I sit again
And get shot a lot
You all might think it's lame
But I love my *****
And my video games
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
What am I gonna do?
Whatever you want me to?
I'm so far away from you
And I don't understand
This life I cant stand
Secrecy
Is a fallacy
A memory
Instantly
Drives me away
My mind continues
To scream
And to shout
What is my life about?
So
What do I do?
(c) Steven Forrester
Steven Forrester Mar 2012
What's on your mind?
The world?
Your life?
Or others
In strife
Strife
A favorite word of mine
A synonym of hardship
Though more powerful
It has certain air
Like making vocal
The feeling of despair
Back to the subject at hand

What's on your mind?
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
When it rains
I count the little droplets on the window
I avoid the cold black widow
As it hangs high at the ceiling
It gives me an odd feeling
A feeling that makes me wish
That even if I'm rich
Death would be my escape
From a world
Hollow and *****
From a vision
Of pure and total hate
Why do these people hate me
Why do they hurt and interrogate me
Asking unspoken questions
Looking for unknown answers
Invalidating my prestige
Through intolerably hateful banter
Yes
I see this
And feel the pulsing of my veins
Yes
I see this
Every time it rains
(c) Steven Forrester
When she smiles
The whole world melts away
When she smiles
All of my pain
It drains
Leaving a cavity
She pulls me in
It's pure gravity
It would be a tragedy
If I didn't look deeper
I'm a dead sleeper
But
When she smiles
I am awoken
No longer broken
And so I smile
For Anna
Steven Forrester Jan 2011
In the beginning
It was pure
It was full
I was sure
That I loved you
But it ended
When you broke my heart in two
We started over
Again and again
And once again
I see the signs I see
When things must end
I cant bring myself to do it
To break her heart again
I know I still love her
Enough to care that much
But I dont know
If love is really true
Should I hurt this girl
Or stay miserable in where I sit
In this poem I fear
A message will be sent
As her eyes scan the words
To read it will be tough
I know I love her still
But just not enough
I hate the message I must send
Because a heart always breaks
When things must end
(c) Steven Forrester

Hurry, hurry
Say the mice as they scurry
The cats in a fury
And my vision is blurry
Faster, faster
bow to your master
Dreams that appear in plaster
Built by demonic stone casters
Ring, ring
That bell does sing
With a boom
A crash
And a ding
The sound
Flies around
And puts the cat in a fury
The mice scream as they scurry
Hurry, hurry
(c) Steven Forrester

Whisper whisper
In the wind
Feeling somber
Let it begin
Whisper whisper
Let me in

Life is fleeting
Painful and plentiful
Disdainful and beautiful
Soft and mellow
Hard and brutal

Whisper whisper
In the wind
Feeling somber
Let me in
Whisper whisper
Let it end

Please....

In the dark
I lie awake
Wondering
I see her face
And start pondering
With her
I feel my eyes stop wandering
Sweetly singing
Serendipitous songs
Swaying silkily
Into sleep
Insomnia
It keeps me up
And thinking
The time I'm wasting
My mind is racing
And I can't make it stop

But maybe I don't want to
The wind is whispering
Waiting willfully
Watching, wavering
Wistfully woeful
Yet wonderful

Time is not guaranteed
Life is full of danger
And what ever doesn't **** you
Makes us a little stranger

Its not so bad though....
Steven Forrester Mar 2011
Your beauty blinds me
It takes me
Can break me
I can't see
When greeted with your radiance
Lost in your innocence
May I have this dance?
Attached to your glow
Which blazes hotter than the sun
And I come undone
And then I know
You know who you are
I'm falling
For a white hot star
for Jessyca

Who am I?
What have I become?
No solace in solitude
Solidifying my sadness
In singular significance
Silently stewing somberly
In sorrow
What can be done?
Your brilliance is overwhelming
Tearing and gnashing
At the corners of my mind
Your radiance and energy
Over charges my eyes
So much so
That I feel blind
And I can't unwind
Heart strings
Concentrically coiled
Around your fingers
Every step
Every word
Every noticed common interest
Highlighting compatibility
From now into infinity
Intrinsically
You pull those strings
Bringing me closer
Yet so far away
SLAM!
Rip and shred
My heart yanked from my chest
Knocking me breathless
A gut punch
Too high to jump
Too low to duck
My brain creates
Images of competition
And I'm losing.......
Who am I?
What have I become?
What is this?
And what can be done?
