Raised for slaughter
Raven Feb 2020
It is always darkest before dawn
Living a life based on a pawn
Whether it hurts
Whatever there in darkness lurks
Patience is required
Even if you're tired
Maybe someday
It will repay
For all the pain
That you had to gain

Awakened
Raven Feb 2020
There's a soft feeling
Inside my heart
Never knew it's beating
Or when it start'

Random
Raven Feb 2020
It is Cold
I tell you Farewell
How shall I Rise
When I can’t Hold you
I need you Now
Why did you leave
How shall I Grow
I am not so Strong
I just want to Hold you
I didn’t want to Loose you
I feel Lost
No more Farewell
I can’t Remember
This is Why
I’ll be Gone
Know that you were Loved
I will Return
To where I Belong
In each line is a word starting with a capital letter.
I just wrote the first words that came to my mind and then tried to write a poem. That's why I called it random.

Wenn ich an dich denke
Raven Feb 2020
Wenn ich an dich danke
(When I think about you)
I think
I'm not strong enough
Not for you, not for anyone
For a long time I tried acting tough
Bit this behaviour is gone
Don't know what is left
I'm sure it's nothing you would like
Maybe it would be the best
If you don't stay by my side
There's so much pain inside of me
You wouldn't understand
Nothing you can see
It's like drowning in sand
My innerst feelings are hidden
I kept them away from you
Cause they are forbidden
You know that tok

Crush
Raven Feb 2020
Break it's tiny neck
Watch the body go slack
Pull out it's tattered wings
Listen to your blood it sings

Crushed by your fingers
Some fluid still lingers
You watch it go
Down the endless flow

One more crushed
Whimpers hushed
But the emptiness
Only makes you feel even less

Hands raised to the sky
Gaze followed by staring eyes
It's so hollow inside
And so dark as the night


I watch the trees melt
I see the clouds pouring blood
The rivers dead fish held
Combined to a horrendous flood

Mirror
Raven Feb 2020
Who is the person in the mirror
Looking into her eyes makes me shiver
What kind of a world am I living in
Runs through my head when I see her grin
Is she me? Am I me? Is she she and I am I?
Do we share the same world?
66 · Feb 2020
Salvage me
Raven Feb 2020
Make me scream
Make me cry
Make me feel
Let me dream
Of the sky
While I kneel

Let me hurt
Let me push
Let me bite
Take my word
Tell me hush
Soothe my fright
65 · Feb 2020
Strangled
Raven Feb 2020
Wrap your fingers
'Round my neck
Your touch lingers
I'm a wreck
My skin flickers
Gaining colours
Blue prints glitter
Lasting hours

Freed
Raven Feb 2020
The pain is gone and I feel free
No time that changes who I'll be
62 · Feb 2020
I gave away my heart
Raven Feb 2020
I feel empty, I feel lost
Kind of fragile, kind of soft
I'm lost in your eyes
Don't want to find the way back
My chest is empty 'cause I gave away my heart
My heart was strong my body is not
But inside of me
Although my heart's gone
All these feelings
Spend me warmth
I'm not able to live without them
Live without you
But right now I have to
I don't know how
Surviving without heart
This open wound
So much pain
Your worth it
Please don't let me go
Never
Ever

Emotional death
Raven Feb 2020
Sadness runs in my veins
A veil covering my body
Drowning my heart
Separating me
Burning in my lungs
Layering my eyes
Freezing my limbs
Suffocating me
From the inside out
From the outside in
The quickest way to emotional death

It is only a spark...
Raven Feb 2020
It gets dark
Even darker
I'd wish for a spark
It won't help
Just a drop in the ocean
A leaf in the woods
Wouldn't even rise a commotion
It's quite
No sound can be heard
I could be deaf
I shouldn't complain
All is in vain
It starts to rain
I stopped feeling the pain
It is cold
I feel numb
I'd wish for a spark
It could light a fire
Making everything brighter
Maybe burn me whole
Just like everything else
I'd taste ash
Drying my mouth
Filling my lungs
Layering my skin
Covering my eyes
Finally

Back then
Raven Jun 2020
It was summer and warm
I can still feel the grass beneath
Just like in one of those movies
We laid together underneath the stars

When we kissed

We were high on the castle
I leaned on your shoulder
Soft laughter in the summer breeze

When we kissed

You threw the dice
I went after it

And then we kissed

I held it dear to me
Back then
Because we kissed

I wonder where I left the dice
-
I found it
In a drawer full of Knick-Knacks
Just another memory
Hm just a memory, nothing special

Hunter and prey
Raven Feb 2020
Sickening sweet
How you bleed
Satening my greed
The beast freed
Taking the lead
Feasting on meat
Pulsing to my heartbeat
Evaporating heat
Elation, I could weep
Raven Feb 2020
Imagine Life
Standing on ice
Skittering
Falling
Scrambling
And crawling

Imagine Death
Losing it's breath
Gasping
Scratching
Thrashing
And collapsing
Life is failing at living
Death is constantly dying
Raven Feb 2020
Is there something waiting?
Anyone? Anything?
This feeling of fainting
A black, heavy wing

Reality or an illusion?
A dream?
Some kind of a fusion?
Is it or has it been?

I am drifting
A ship on the sea
Water uplifting
Door without key

Will it end
Or do I have to spend
More time than expected
'Till I am selected?

I am not scared
I never cared
Life will leave me heartless
Finally drowning in darkness

The art of killing
Raven Feb 2020
If you like to see something dying
Covered by his own blood on the floor lying
Everything you see is like poetry
44 · Feb 2020
Think
Raven Feb 2020
I think
And that's what I love to do
That it is all in my head
I blink
And I have to realise
That I was once again misled

Suffocating
Raven Feb 2020
When you want to sing but the words are to heavy
When you want to speak but words get stuck in your throat
Then your world doesn't look wonderful, its shabby
When you look up into the sky watching butterflies
When you hear birds sing, thinking life must be wonderful
But you know it's not like that, it feels like something dies
All these things combined in your heart
Nothing to fear but it is way to dark
All these scars burned into your soul
Forming a single large mark
I wrote this in school. There was a poetry slam presentation. Each of us got three words and we had to write a poem. Mine were sing, birds and butterfly.

Strangled by life
Raven Feb 2020
Living is not very encouraging
Time tends to fly away or crawl inch by inch
Clear moments are followed by worren thoughts
Where there is simple ness, complex situations hide from you
Only to jump in your face, when you thought everything went well
You are happy? Look back and you can see the drowning feeling on it's heels coming closer
If you close your eyes you can almost forget it even exists
U till you open then, ripped out of your thoughts because of a knife stabbed into your back poking out of your stomach
Be honest, it's not as if you didn't expect that to happen
Life truly isn't easy, well, nobody claimed it to be
You can cry and scream and hit and bite, pull, push
Staying alive is harder
To keep going on
To accept
To bear
It's like getting caught in a spider web, struggling to get free while only tangling oneself deeper into the web until there is no room for movement left
I believe I shall call it
Strangled by life

Spider
Raven Feb 2020
I wish I was a spider
Didn't have to be a fighter
I'd be much lighter
Giving some a frighter

I'd be quite hairy
Some might say scary
Others'd be weary
Though it's quite contrary

I'd be content
Having a friend
Who'd time to spend
And didn't pretend

I'd sit in my web
Next to the tab
Weaving my trap
Without a gap

I'd wait for prey
Bid you to stay
Each and every day
I'd pray

Wouldn't it be nice
Without the reminder
Way more kinder
If I'd only be a spider?
Most of the spiders in our houses aren't that scary.

— The End —
