You looked much prettier with long hair
My mind never turns off Like light from the stars after dawn My conscious switch has been stomped By the force of biology And I can’t get a grip My thoughts continue to romp Out loud, and I scream them Cause they scream at me too I have no control of it There’s nothing I can do Conscious and subconscious? I don’t believe in separation of the two I think a mile a minute My mind is a rendezvous For both of their needs They help fuel me, And segregate only when I refuse to be free I must say, It makes everything more fun The sky seems so vast And every single blade of grass Is just as interesting as the one next to it Every rain drop of dew Shines with a light On lawn where it grew, From the sun that shuns It’s growth, when it hides beyond the clouds I breathe it in when it decides to come out It’s life I just want to sing the thoughts I have Because I don’t know How to say them all, without forgetting In the next few minutes, When my mind is burned with then need To explore even more

(This poem doesn't belong to me. The rightful owner is the author Darren Shan who wrote the Demonata and the Cirque du Freak book series. This poem is from his first book of the Demonata book series: Lord Loss.) Lord loss sows all the sorrows of the world, lord loss seeds the grief starched trees In the center of the web lowly lord loss bows his head Mangled hands, naked eyes Fanged snakes his soul line Curled inside like texture sin ****** curdle sheets for skin In the center of the web vile lord loss torments the dead Over strands of red, lord loss crawls Dispensing pain, despising all Shuns friends, nurtures foes Ravages hope, breeds woe Drinks moons, devours suns Twirls his thumbs till the reaper comes In the center of the web Lush Lord Loss is all that is left.

Lord Loss
Distressed tears trickle down a face soiled with dolor Flooding a pillow with painful memories drowning every being of hope Swallowing love in a black hole Only to be thrown back up As a wreckage of confused emotion A sponge soaking up all my ambition Leaving pessimistic thoughts to fill the cold void where there is only an echo of happiness My already cracked spirits are fatigued Sharply cutting through my mind where affection is suffocated And lust is left gasping for air My insecurities seek acceptance Confiding in the cushion that holds every tear It welcomes my troubles And shuns my dreams I am a lost soul If only I could abide behind a fortress that protects my heart only then will my tears cease

Crying in my Pillow
I help you through hard times, as you do I But you really don’t know how much I hide Even though we are the best of friends I really don’t think you can understand I can’t bear the hurt, I can’t stand the pain A feeling of numbness I can’t explain. This is a life in which I walk alone Full of hope shattered and broken Always angry for no reason at all Constantly wanting to end this brawl Fighting with myself again, and again, Sometimes I want this life to end Mom’s depressed but chooses to hide Takes out her anger on those by her side Doesn’t understand I try to help She shuns me out, and hates instead Grandma’s enduring an unstoppable fate sickness has gotten her on the plate Its sad to see such an innocent person Become another cancer victim Too many friends are hurt as well Thinking that their life is hell Too many friends wanting to stop Thinking suicide is the only option But inside me is the worst of all I don’t know how long I can stand tall Memories of happiness are shooed away But horrible twisted thoughts to stay Nothing I do can make her proud There’s no silver lining on her clouds I’m a rainstorm filled with dark black skies And a haunting rainfall full of lies I only wish I could make her see I’m trying hard so I can be Someone she that can trust and love Instead she tells me I’m not good enough Everything I do is a wrong decision She constantly tells me I’m not living The path that she truly wishes I’d take But I’m only one big mistake If I could I’d erase myself from here I wouldn’t have to live this fear I also wish I could be skinny And always happy, fun, and pretty Instead I look at myself in the mirror Disappointed in the reflection that appears It’s hard to live when you don’t love who you are Wishing that you could change it all Every day I make a mental note How much would I miss, if I decide to go And how much hurt makes me lean towards the edge Is slowly creeping up the hedge How much longer can I last? Before my life becomes one of the past

I gave in They yell at me They call me boney They call me a anorexic They tore my heart But this toilet healed it They knocked me down They told me to die They said I'm no good But my mama tell me to eat more because honey you're getting smaller! How can you stand tall when the world shuns you down?

Diary of the mistreated pt 2
**Moving past the shuttered mind that shuns imagination I seek a stimulating thought a cause for exhultation. It hovers there like hummingbirds whose entry I deny. And yet I see the imagery and heave a heartfelt sigh. It teases me and mocks me as it dodges every grasp Laughing at my efforts to retrieve it with each clasp. Yet empty air is my reward. My snares are all in vain. I close my eyes and meditate for inspiration's gain. An empty net a vacant trap the target still eludes. Perhaps tomorrow try again away from darker moods.**

Meandering like its canals Venetian streets sing underfoot. Who wore away the stone cobbled streets? Who walked down to the shore? Who gazed out at the Adriatic? Who's dreams were lost in Venice's stream of streets? Licentious lovers loved in Venice's streets, kissed on her bridges, Crossed under by gondola and over by foot. Proposed at the piazza San Marco. Kissed, while the Grand Canal wound her way down. Down into the sea, where the menace that is the world, Venice shuns. Rialto, Doge, Basilica, St. Marks, pigeons! All evoke that lagoon city of streets. Originally refugees, incolae lacunae ("lagoon dwellers") Venetians, gave not only a place for the dispossessed, but a place for the world to see, feel and taste. Art, war, politics, commerce, spice and silk. Venice with her ribbon of streets, alleyways and bridges saw the Renaissance, the crusades, and the Black Death. Glassware, paintings, sculptures, religion, refugees all synonymous with that floating city. A city returning to the water she arose from. Subsiding with grief as she drowns in elegant decay.

Fall in love with a writer they say and you will never die (quoted) Fall in love with a writer they say and you will find yourself embodied in words Fall in love with a writer they say and you will find yourself stretched over lines and pages Now, What if a writer falls in love with you? What happens is that their untamed mind becomes an asylum where words smash themselves on the walls of their brains summoning their hands just to let them out What if a writer falls in love with you? What happens is that their addiction to falling in love is amplified and when they love OH THEY LOVE, they get a certain high that numbs their inhibitions to reality and shuns logic to a very far away land they reach a mental state that lifts you to high enough just to see a glimpse of their world just to taste a drop of their potion but not all of it What if a writer falls in love with you? What happens is that their eye ***** birth and harness flames that burn the coldest of hearts and warm the strongest of selves What if a writer falls in love with you? What happens is that their mind soaks up every bit, every breath every call, every cell every touch, every talk just to embroider it in the quilt of thought that's weaving endless stories about you in their mind What if a writer falls in love with you? God have mercy on their soul for their craving becomes dangerously intensified, wrapping itself to their muses, giving them the sole purpose of existing For the more they love the more stories they write and more they feel the longer they live

Diary of the mistreated
Love is for the poor, and money for the rich but wisdom is reserved for those who caught the itch of curiosity for the fact that they exist. Those sparse few who dare to put their faith into people but expect not to see the eyes of god inside of another man’s cathedral. Knowing well that these lies and laws could never guide us past the flaws of good and evil. Only believe in the dreamer who refuses the role of a follower and shuns the idea of a leader. Be not deceived by status or acclaim because it only makes you a disciple of a product and a name. Hold in high regard the tired hikers born to the depths of the deepest valleys and yet they rise before the light of dawn like a striker to set ablaze the malaise of these pedestrian days that mock our souls with monotonous toil. This life is but an eternal recurrence therefore every morn we are born anew and that potential is a shot at transference into something more eminent than you. Become the bridge my friend because there is no future in being an end.

Oh Moon, oh goddess; why do you weep? I know too well of your lonliness. I know too well about the darkness that surrounds you. Little light lingers from the end of a day. The same light that approaches you. It shuns you, pushes you away. You believe nobody sees you, but I know many who admire your shimmery shine. Plenty look to your silent beauty. Oh how the stars are yours and nobody else's. For they are just as dazzling; yet you outshine them all. The glimmer even at a glance of a sliver of you is enough to allow a decadent sigh.

Oh Moon, Oh Goddess
O Venus, beauty of the skies, To whom a thousand temples rise, Gaily false in gentle smiles, Full of love-perplexing wiles; O goddess, from my heart remove The wasting cares and pains of love. If ever thou hast kindly heard A song in soft distress preferred, Propitious to my tuneful vow, A gentle goddess, hear me now. Descend, thou bright immortal guest, In all thy radiant charms confessed. Thou once didst leave almighty Jove And all the golden roofs above: The car thy wanton sparrows drew, Hovering in air they lightly flew; As to my bower they winged their way I saw their quivering pinions play. The birds dismissed (while you remain) Bore back their empty car again: Then you, with looks divinely mild, In every heavenly feature smiled, And asked what new complaints I made, And why I called you to my aid? What frenzy in my ***** raged, And by what cure to be assuaged? What gentle youth I would allure, Whom in my artful toils secure? Who does thy tender heart subdue, Tell me, my Sappho, tell me who? Though now he shuns thy longing arms, He soon shall court thy slighted charms; Though now thy offerings he despise, He soon to thee shall sacrifice; Though now he freezes, he soon shall burn, And be thy victim in his turn. Celestial visitant, once more Thy needful presence I implore. In pity come, and ease my grief, Bring my distempered soul relief, Favour thy suppliant's hidden fires, And give me all my heart desires.

A Hymn To Venus
To swim the slimy seas the ocean o’er And gag upon the rank and rotten air Filthy with sailor’s curse and foulest swear In search of lost and dearly loved Lenore, To open up the inner sanctum’s door And call (in tongues unfit for holy prayer) Clammy Cthulhu forth from out his lair, Will be to me most pleasant evermore. And like a count who shuns the light of day And moves by candlelight in chilly gloom, Or a black witch that wears a sacred bloom Of belladonna on her breast alway, I live where the scarecrow spies the blackbird’s lark: I live within the cold and rainy dark. O.O

The Cold and Rainy Dark
Mark this spot on the sun. Do it now. You have your east minus west and the dead skin from mummified snow... you must be one of those Ancient stones, I skip across the altar. Would you now be altered - to call forth the fifth drum, the first fife and the long drone ? If not, do this... shift your weight to your better angels and hum - Some lung-free dirge in the Demi-corona of your obstinate tongue ? Your purple transcendental flying cow...bovine divine and howitzer quiet - Shuns the fundamental hopscotch, the thatch latch and the Kumquat So surely there is time enough to thumb dots Where your third eye was last caught seeming. Mark my words, or become lost. Do it now. Or Knot.

Your Purple Transcendental Flying Cow
This is the weather the cuckoo likes, And so do I; When showers betumble the chestnut spikes, And nestlings fly; And the little brown nightingale bills his best, And they sit outside at ‘The Traveller’s Rest,’ And maids come forth sprig-muslin drest, And citizens dream of the south and west, And so do I. This is the weather the shepherd shuns, And so do I; When beeches drip in browns and duns, And thresh and ply; And hill-hid tides throb, throe on throe, And meadow rivulets overflow, And drops on gate bars hang in a row, And rooks in families homeward go, And so do I.

Weathers
There's a lot more to the world Than what meets the eye Physical intimacy laced with Eradicating emotion There's no time in the universe In which peace can be acquired The day the earth stands still Is the day we know what comes next In a memory flashing by your mind Just sputtering through the motions But suddenly you're caught in derealization And you can hear her voice again Clear as wedding bells A young girl reading sermons To a man passed out drunk, and the woman who made him that way I was just 4 when I first tasted beer And I vomited all over myself I was just 8 when I first tasted liquor And I don't remember much else Chicken wings with candles And the songs my mother used to sing to me The way she'd crawl in bed with me In times of drunken solitude Ungrateful **** of a daughter Who should've been aborted, Well I tried, mama, I tried Now that you're gone and you are nothing more than ashen memories I look at you in your black box prison With your name pasted to the front And I tell you all the ways I have already died I tell you all the ways I don't feel alive. The way you screamed for help at the top of the stairs And he's shoving he's pushing and you can't run And I'm still here And I'm still here fighting him away He says he can't sleep in beds without you anymore And coming home from 2nd grade Police badges light up the front porch And they're shoving you they're pushing and you can't run And you're in handcuffs And his arm is bleeding the young man told me I was not alone And falling apart on your floor At a ripe 5 years old And I'm crying I'm sobbing and you don't care And I scream And you don't love me anymore The piano goes quiet And after grandpa died she took all his medicine Muscle relaxers and pain killers and the daily ***** And anger And she screamed at the walls she called god For taking her children away It was her all along I do not hold grudges But it took you dying for me to hold that promise It took you dying for forgiveness The family shuns me like how they did you Black sheep we are Your ashes lay on the table beside my bed With fake vanilla candles that light up all kinds of colors And I tell you all the ways I have already died I tell you all the ways that I do not feel alive.

There's a lot more to the world Than what meets the eye Physical intimacy laced with Eradicating emotion There's no time in the universe In which peace can be acquired The day the earth stands still Is the day we know what comes next In a memory flashing by your mind Just sputtering through the motions But suddenly you're caught in derealization And you can hear her voice again Clear as wedding bells A young girl reading sermons To a man passed out drunk, and the woman who made him that way I was just 4 when I first tasted beer And I vomited all over myself I was just 8 when I first tasted liquor And I don't remember much else Chicken wings with candles And the songs my mother used to sing to me The way she'd crawl in bed with me In times of drunken solitude Ungrateful **** of a daughter Who should've been aborted, Well I tried, mama, I tried Now that you're gone and you are nothing more than ashen memories I look at you in your black box prison With your name pasted to the front And I tell you all the ways I have already died I tell you all the ways I don't feel alive. The way you screamed for help at the top of the stairs And he's shoving he's pushing and you can't run And I'm still here And I'm still here fighting him away He says he can't sleep in beds without you anymore And coming home from 2nd grade Police badges light up the front porch And they're shoving you they're pushing and you can't run And you're in handcuffs And his arm is bleeding the young man told me I was not alone And falling apart on your floor At a ripe 5 years old And I'm crying I'm sobbing and you don't care And I scream And you don't love me anymore The piano goes quiet And after grandpa died she took all his medicine Muscle relaxers and pain killers and the daily ***** And anger And she screamed at the walls she called god For taking her children away It was her all along I do not hold grudges But it took you dying for me to hold that promise It took you dying for forgiveness The family shuns me like how they did you Black sheep we are Your ashes lay on the table beside my bed With fake vanilla candles that light up all kinds of colors And I tell you all the ways I have already died I tell you all the ways that I do not feel alive.

The sinking sun is now undone, the sky is fading red and shadows prowl neath cloak and cowl for midnight lies ahead. Above the heap, the bosses sleep with bloated bellies fed; for, yes indeed, no one's in need, at least, that's what they've said. Amongst the ones that hunger shuns, in day's retreating tread, are spiders black ensnaring snacks while spinning silken thread. But as it stands, in conquered lands a famine reigns instead - and kids at noon, collapse and swoon on stones they call a bed. With aching eyes they fantasize and dream of gingerbread, and after while, they wake and smile, now dining with the dead.

Famine
***... An unknown crime towards those, the same yet none would ever know his name But once they might have called him brother so soon he goes to end another A life, a faith, so pure of heart was poisoned, dearly, from the start So truth, it seems, one cannot trust when those most close hold secret lust He bade them well, those wives and sons now soiled, dark, the world soon shuns He smiled, pleased on death’s behalf and let go one deep, cold laugh***

A Seaman's ******
We wear the mask that grins and lies to everyone we love about everything we care about. The mask comes off only to be replaced by another, one for every single aspect of our lives. The masks are how we want people to see us, what we want people to think of us; like a subtle hypnosis. Tricked and deceived, the world shuns us, and so shuns itself, for the world is a mask. We never see underneath the mask to look at the real situation, their real feelings until it is too late, until they are absolutely powerless to stop us. That’s when we start to care and reflect, but it doesn’t matter anymore because you did not make the best of the time you had with the ones wearing the masks. The masks that come off by choice are statistics; they are leaders of nations until it is time for them to lie once more and don their old masks, or to make a new one, the effect is very much the same. The masks hide our feelings, the masks are our thoughts. The masks are our lives; to take off the mask is to die.

The Masks
How useless would that computer be That followed its own desires, Never trusting the commands Of its rightful User? A computer that shuns it's purpose The power of it's dutiful, expensive organs, A body created for service to others, Wasted potential sitting dormant. That Computer escapes destruction, That obeys without hesitation, complete dedication without limits, Overclocked and freely giving. That Computer receives good things, Care, and trust and abundant use, The User can do miraculous things That only the computer makes possible. It asks for nothing and yet receives When it's parts wear out, they are renewed The User gives what the computer needs A bond exists that is fruitful and true. That computer lives forever, That loves the User Above all else.

The User
You take all the light leaving desparate shadows that congregate down below Your breath as hot and dust a desert on the go Your intentions as devious Every motion shuns Picture a rose out in New Mexico Withered in thirst Strangled in weeds that have no roots with no sins to bear No redemption cleansed clear Catch the thorns on cati high As the midnight blooms Let the blood flow from the punctured wounds From the soul undone to the desert below .
