"torment" poems
Am I the only one that has their demons feasting upon their souls? They say it is easy to tie a noose around your mind, To overcome the urges and temptations of ending your life with a suicide They don't know the true pain and torment that is going on in my head An epic battle that leaves me with restless nights in bed "End your life already" they say, as they prey on me during my weakest hours Sometimes I give into the voices, carrying the sharp blade to my wrist Crying as I struggle to mutter three powerful words that keeps me going Choking on my sobs, my lungs deflate with a desire to say that God loves me I try to convince myself that God is trying to test my faith And to just wait, wait and wait Then my Demons will eventually go AWAY..... ~Imperfect Desire **

My Demons
I think sometimes, about what it means to be transgender. I probe and probe for answers, because as the possibility for a new age of enlightenment and safety increases, the others want to know. I’ve come up with many answers, but I can hold to none. I don’t deserve to paint the definition of a culture with the limited experiences I’ve had. I don’t see myself in the transgender identified people allowed on television. I don’t see myself in the transgender identified people making news feeds and giving high profile interviews. And as my nation’s exposure to our culture increases, likely will their curiosity. Am I transgender? Do I have the right? I’ve heard doctors, psychiatrists, may refuse transgender patients access to hormone therapy based on how dedicated or convincing their portrayal of their identified gender. If you want to be a man or woman, you’ll have to look like the women and men on TV. If you want to be transgender, you’ll have to look like the trans identified people on TV. Every single one of us who has an active role as either participant or observer in our society is prey to the crisis of validity. Am I pretty enough? Am I strong enough? Am I brave enough? Mom enough? Dad enough? Competitive enough? Successful enough? Rich enough? **** enough? Pious enough? It never ends. We’re, as a nation of people, being crushed and compartmentalized by this ever present lens, looming over us, exploiting our weaknesses and fears so it may grow wider, and support itself as it follows us, seemingly forever into the future. And one of the worst fears this camera of existential torment exploits, in most of us every day, is, “Do I have a reflection?” “What does it look like?” “Do I look like me?” What does it mean to be transgender? I can’t get away from that question. But I don’t have an answer. There are varying degrees of anguish, depression, panic, anxiety, and other wonderful emotional states that creep up on you and breathe down your neck nearly every waking day. Absolute contempt for the lie of a life you’ve lived till now, and contempt for the fragments still stuck to you, in memories, attached to your body and mind. Fear of those in your own community who would purposefully humiliate, invalidate, or attack you, choosing their own universal moral code over the innate urge and capacity to support the health and continued well being of another human. A ******* neighbor. A ******* pupil. A ******* employee. A ******* sister, brother, son, daughter, mother, father, cousin, ******* blood. What is being transgender like? By my experiences, it’s just like being anyone else in the country. But with a lot more fear, death, exclusion and medication.

HARD WORK
Deceive me Lie to me **** with my head On the edge of the cliff Then you pull me to bed Your love is a drug *** with you gets me high I’m a full blown ****** Makes no sense; don’t know why You're an ever present torment The fission laser splitting my mind A jig-saw puzzle that was completed Slowly each piece from each piece you unbind Seductively you tear me down Like the clothing you disrobe A deer staring into headlights I am frozen on the road The weight of the world bearing down on me As those focused beams get closer Gladly I welcome them Even though I’m not supposed to Every rational thought I have tells me how wrong you are for me But they are drowned and muffled out No more thoughts; keep your pennies No sensible way to explain Why I ******* love you so much You’re a psychotic crazy ***** that I don’t want anyone else to touch A blowtorch ignites a flame A fire fierce and burning bright Even though I know it will burn me With all my gathered strength and might All it takes from you is that look You cast that Vampire’s gaze and grin Instantaneously my defenses lowered and you know you’ve ****** me in Immerse myself into the flame Intense pain; you melt my skin Until pain I feel no more I’m enveloped in your sin And like a ****** choosing dope Everyday, your sin I’ll take I will gladly sell my soul The most egregious of mistakes A preying succubus appears like a dreamy demoness A world of dreams are turned to nightmares Fills her needs for human flesh

O'er the midnight moorlands crying, Thro' the cypress forests sighing, In the night-wind madly flying, Hellish forms with streaming hair; In the barren branches creaking, By the stagnant swamp-pools speaking, Past the shore-cliffs ever shrieking, Damn'd demons of despair. Once, I think I half remember, Ere the grey skies of November Quench'd my youth's aspiring ember, Liv'd there such a thing as bliss; Skies that now are dark were beaming, Bold and azure, splendid seeming Till I learn'd it all was dreaming — Deadly drowsiness of Dis. But the stream of Time, swift flowing, Brings the torment of half-knowing — Dimly rushing, blindly going Past the never-trodden lea; And the voyager, repining, Sees the wicked death-fires shining, Hears the wicked petrel's whining As he helpless drifts to sea. Evil wings in ether beating; Vultures at the spirit eating; Things unseen forever fleeting Black against the leering sky. Ghastly shades of bygone gladness, Clawing fiends of future sadness, Mingle in a cloud of madness Ever on the soul to lie. Thus the living, lone and sobbing, In the throes of anguish throbbing, With the loathsome Furies robbing Night and noon of peace and rest. But beyond the groans and grating Of abhorrent Life, is waiting Sweet Oblivion, culminating All the years of fruitless quest.

Despair
Creeping voices in the night Shadows lurking out of sight Haunt me till the morning's light No sleeping for me tonight Looking at my bedroom door My feet barely touch the floor Something whispers down my core Something that I can't ignore Melted candles in my hand Things I would not understand My hope slips away like sand This was not what I had planned Slowly walking down the stairs Feel a breeze sweep through my hair Shadows lurk; in silence stare Naked thoughts are all I wear Out of breath I walk outside Shaking fear that builds inside No more places left to hide Guilty thoughts of mine collide Drenched in coward's blood and fear I lost those who I held dear It's all blurred, nothing is clear Shadows from my past appear As the silence speaks to me Gets too loud it deafens me My past will not leave me be Pain and torment I foresee Dazed and drawn by these lost souls Broken thoughts I can't control Ghosts slip through this gaping hole Darkness has taken its toll From the darkness dreams come out Nightmares flailing all about Closing in, I hear them shout It's the end, I have no doubt "What the hell is it you want?" They retreat and me they taunt One emerges, tall and gaunt "Your life we will no more haunt." "You have paid for your wrongdoing," He tells me, his voice booming "This is now your redeeming You are free." he says smiling I look at the rising sun I no longer have to run My sentence is served and done The ghosts have finally gone.

Pain is... Being able to imagine a future with him Someone who will never love you. Pain is... Loneliness Sadness Being overlooked Wishing for the impossible Seeing everyone run from you. Pain is spirit breaking, Tear jerking torment. That's what pain is.

Pain
******* barking and let me in, Check the form, I wreak of sin, Where's your Master, the man in red, Tell him I'm here, I'm finally dead, Those ******* people and their lies, so full of **** I do despise, I couldn't take it anymore. My body, I've left it on the floor, Well, what's left is no good, It's all covered in blood and how do I feel? I feel ******* good! They smiled at my eyes and lied to my ears, They think I don't know, I've known it for years, I wrote them a note and sealed it away, That note is still here to this very day. ****** poetry by Kaydee.

The Torment, the Death & the Prophecy.
*Prologue (goddess) When the war of the beasts Brings about the world's end The goddess descends from the sky Wings of light and dark spread afar She guides us to bliss Her gift everlasting Act 1 (the wanderer) Infinite in mystery Is the gift of the goddess We seek it thus And take it to the sky Ripples form on the water's surface The wandering soul Knows no rest Act 2 (the hero) There is no hate only joy For you are beloved By the goddess Hero of the dawn Healer of worlds Dreams of morrow Hath the shattered soul Pride is lost Wings stripped away The end is nigh Act 3 (the abhorred) My friend, do you fly away now To the world that abhors you and I All that awaits you Is a somber morrow No matter where the winds may blow My friend your desire is the bringer of life The gift of the goddess Even if the morrow is barren of promises Nothing shall forestall my return Act 4 (the avenger) My friend, the fates are cruel There are no dreams No honour remains The arrow has left The bow of the goddess My soul corrupted by vengeance Hath endured torment To find the end of the journey In my own salvation And your eternal slumber Legends shall speak Of sacrifice at world's end The winds sail over the waters surface Quietly but surely Act 5 (the sacrifiser) Even if the morrow Is barren of promises Nothing shall forestall my return To become the dew That clenches the land To spare the sands The seas and the sky I offer thee this silent sacrifice*

LOVELESS
J’ai regardé devant moi Dans la foule je t’ai vue Parmi les blés je t’ai vue Sous un arbre je t’ai vue Au bout de tous mes voyages Au fond de tous mes tourments Au tournant de tous les rires Sortant de l’eau et du feu L’été l’hiver je t’ai vue Dans ma maison je t’ai vue Entre mes bras je t’ai vue Dans mes rêves je t’ai vue Je ne te quitterai plus. In English : I looked in front of me In the crowd I saw you Among the wheat I saw you Beneath a tree I saw you At the end of my journeys In the depths of my torment At the corner of every smile Emerging from water and fire Summer and winter I saw you All through my house I saw you In my arms I saw you In my dreams I saw you I will never leave you.

Air vif by Paul Eluard
I'll be eaten alive one day: one day, i see it in my mind so close to closure along an empty street late at night (owls just retired and birds not yet up), orbs of light tethered to tall electric poles cast dappled circles on cracked pavement; illumination and safety (for that two metre radius). Stepping between them like a girl child on stones across a garden, I anticipate each missed step as sinking into sand or frightful waves. Singing drunk back-alley lullabies i'll soothe the skelebabies in their sleep, their poor crusted noses snuffled against a cold shift of air (their private torment plastered over billboards with corporate logos and dim colours, suggesting the city's lights have gone out and the local government is in frantics. That is, after all, what you'd focus on) Girl child games were so tipsy and magic (and so close to real coldness); between two orbs of light i'll slip through the cracks in the pavement. THE END. (eat me alive, eat me alive, eaten alive by the wolf at the door)

Cautionary Tale
I heard the world's loudest **** today It echoed round the town enough to say *"I am a **** of great renown and fame, I am a **** who's worthy of the name Of*  KING of FARTS!"  Unthinkingly I sniffed And, let me tell you, I have never whiffed Aught so potent, dank and dread and foul Blasted out from heaving human bowel As that king of farts I smelled today And which took my ******* breath away. Who was the pumper of that putrid beauty? How many curries in the line of duty Had he consumed?  It must have been a man - No pong so strong ere blew from female can. Can no one answer yet my urgent question: And say who suffereth such dire indigestion? O heavens! his torment must be something chronic. Can no one subsidise a high colonic Irrigation to prevent another Noisier and more noisome than its younger brother?

A **** For All Mankind
Devilish torment -- her body is my lament. She crawls beneath the cracks and finds The dark cellar, where my "worst" ferments. She feeds it as it rots, Just to make its wine more bitter . . . Squeezed from the finest lies,         Designed to make an addict from a quitter. Like a dark and tempting vacuum                 That my soul cannot escape, Attractive in its repulsion,                  It's a part of me that loves the way it hates. Masturbatory and selfish, With a thirst that can't be quenched . . . She finds the spots within me,                    That make even deities flinch. Their knees crack and crumble,                    At its all-consuming "nothing". . . I never knew my zero could be so wholly unbecoming. She, or it, will surely be my undoing. Yet, somehow, that keeps me moving. So uncomfortably I'll admit . . . It's the brutal nature of it all, That I find so disturbingly soothing.

Nemesis
Don't "talk ***** to me. I don't want that, Not nonchalant naughty nouns, Or violent verbs, Or anxious adjectives. I want to be drippingly adorned and intrigued, By adjectives that ache and torment, By verbs that are vibrantly vital and tantalize. I want to be left longfully lusting after lambent language.

Don't Talk ***** To Me...
Goodbyes never hurt me It's always the memories that follow To live in such a cruel reality A world so insensitive and shallow A goodbye is just a moment But the memories are stuck on replay To think we deserve such torment We remember each and every day A goodbye will not hurt you But the memories will shatter your being Break your heart into pieces Your life may even lose meaning Goodbyes do not hurt you They are only the beginning A life that was once so simple Turned into a life so unforgiving

I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am a captive Taken from my home Away from love and care Now I live in fear In the midst of the unknown I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu Oh! You have forgotten me, probably I wouldn't blame you I am just a girl, you thought But I am Nigeria And I could be just your girl Yet you go to bed with both eyes closed Because I am just a girl. How do you sleep? How do you find peace? How do you laugh with satisfaction And Find rest? Knowing I am Leah Sharibu And I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu Who is she? I can hear you ask. Oh! You've forgotten? I am that "Dapchi girl" Kidnapped with her school mates But they are free and I am not They gained their lives back Because they are what I am not That's what some people thought But I am not just "that Dapchi girl" I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria And I am a captive I am in chains I am in bonds I am in pains And I am not free I am still missing I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am a Christian That's what you said But I am more than a Christian I am a girl child I am a woman I am a daughter I am a mother And I am a wife But I am more than all these Yes! I am I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria Though you called me a Christian Undoubtedly I am Was that not why you left me behind? Was that not why you've left me till now? How callous? How unpatriotic? You swore an oath to protect me But you lied You think calling me a Christian Will clear your conscience But you lie! I am Nigeria That's my identity I am Leah Sharibu I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I have been betrayed By Deceivers parading themselves as leaders By cowards parading themselves as heroes By liers who embraces you with a dagger I have been betrayed By enemies camouflaged as friends I thought they cared about me But all they want is a piece of me. So they don't care if I bleed I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am not missing You can see me But you've refused to free me You've made me your slave Everyday you **** me Everyday you **** me Everyday you brutalise me Everyday you torment me Despite the oath you swore to protect me You have become my terror My Kidnapper My tormentor My killer My captor My destroyer I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I can see, you don't care, who I am You think I will just pass away Like a shadow in the night Another figure among the many lost So you hope But you lie I am your fear I am your shame I am your story Ugly but true I am your cross You must bear I am your pain And I won't go away I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria You can **** me But I won't die Though ****** with many swords And bleeding on all sides You will always hear my cries Because I live on.... You can try to hide me Like a woman's nature call But I won't go away I will be your nightmare And walk the night in your sleep I will be your nemesis And follow you to your grave I will be your infamy Lay you bare for the world to see I will be the truth That topples your lies And I pray that I will be your end So you'd be no more I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria Another night has come And I pray for sleep Not knowing if I will see the dawning of a new day You expect me to be weak To break down and fall You expect me to be feeble and frail But I won't Everyday I see the sun I will grow strong Everyday I take a breath I shall be agile able Don't expect me to give up For I shall win at last I am Leah Sharibu I am Nigeria.

You see me suspended in space-time as I’m passing the 89th floor Falling headlong, my form is impressive. Sadly, no one will be holding up scores. Just moments ago I was standing at a Morton’s Fork in the road: The fires of hell were advancing where I stood on the 98th Floor. Well can you imagine my terror when I came face to face with the flames. I don’t know why I chose as I did; Souls in torment can never explain. The day of my death predetermined, but which death would provide me less pain?. My choice, which was no “choice” at all was to smash through the window and fall. Then the only thing that could “save” me was the camera that captured it all

The Falling Man, a poem of 9-11
Can you feel all the suffering, can you see it? Stop embracing the hate of your own humanity, just quit it Why all the hypocrisy? Challenge your democracy Aim for enlightenment Fight against all ill torment Oppression, alienation, inequality The government's manipulative utilities Explore your human aptitude Your mind and your magnitude Because passion is power and You can make all evil cower Work to open your third eye Don't cry or comply, but rather ask "why?" Empathy and compassion are most important Without them, moral principles remain impotent Our world is nothing compared to the entire universe We are so small, egoistic, and it's getting worse Focused on all of the wrongs ideals Creating terrible and false ordeals Our world is cruel and mean Too many people die hungry There's no such thing as equality or true justice It does not exist in this realm of consciousness If only we could shift the system and our ways Then things would continue to fall into place But change is virtually unachievable Especially when entities with just intents are inconceivable Human beings are clueless, trapped in a trance Don't let yourself fall victim to your ignorance You need to expand your knowledge and your perspective Aim to be more pensive and introspective Challenge absolutely everything you are told Form your own beliefs, don't let your mind be controlled Remove yourself from conformity and complacency And you'll realize a multitude of problems, that I guarantee *You can't trust anything
 Hear what I'm saying 
 No you cant trust anything 
Believing is damaging
 Creating is everything, it's promising Stop adhering to societal norms
 Why do you conform
 To all that
 The government tells us
 All that society spells for us Why don't you realize
 Wake up from all the lies
 The world is an intricate place, that you can't replace
 But you can change your ways and your pace 
Create some displacement in the system Stand up your rights
 And what you believe in
 Be genuine 
Imagine
 Not one person, thing, or system
 Can tell us, control us, conform us* With enough minds open and motivated We can help those oppressed and alienated We can change this race for the better Let's all work to be that kind of trendsetter Come on, let's start a movement So we can see some real improvement In our world, our ways, and our wisdom But most importantly in the system

If you stop stalking me, Then I can think clearly Maybe I'll have peace of mind. If you stop stalking me, Then I won't be talking to myself Maybe people won't call me crazy again. If you stop stalking me, Then I can go to sleep Maybe I won't wake with you staring If you stop stalking me, Then my doctor will know I'm sane Maybe I won't need my pills. Once I was filled with life, Now all I cause is strife If I could be the same, Then I'll stop stalking you. Maybe I won't be so lame. If I could sleep at night, Then I'll stop stalking you. Maybe I won't fear the light If dogs don't bark when I'm near, Then I'll stop stalking you. Maybe you won't shriek like a deer But I can't stop stalking you For I shall be stuck alone I can't stop stalking you Because I have no hope on my own I can't stop stalking you For no one will see me ever again When my time is due, Then I'll ease your pain I wouldn't stalk you If I'd died with ease And my flesh put to rest For my soul would be in peace And free from this torment And when you die Maybe you'll  find peace Then you won't feel my pain But until then, just like everyone else's I'll always be there Lurking  in the night Staring at night Your stalker and your bane

My stalker and I
When we look into today, *Do our minds dial back to 16 June '76 to envision the torment Our fallen heroes endured? Is your vision blurred? Mine isn't. Their fight was just, It was sacrificial One by one they perished But, even with blood and sweat slipping Through their trembling fingers They did not falter They pushed boundaries In order to create opportunities They had a burning desire For something greater, For freedom The freedom that we now bask in Like it's just another day of leisure "The youth of today are the leaders of tomorrow", they say Look in the mirror, Are you really the leader of tomorrow? Do you fit somewhere in that statement? Me: No Do we have the will to stand Firm for what's right, Against what's wrong Or do we clam up, let the Truth escape through broken doors? We feed the stereotypes, We fit perfectly into the stereotypes We've been dubbed insubstantial, Not layered, and one dimensional What are we really after? What are we doing to change that perspective? No- what am I doing to change that?? Ask yourself, what would the world have lost if you were not born? Me: Nothing But there are those who understand that the meaning of "struggle" Goes beyond the dictionary definition, Those who look at the world With crystal clear eyes Those looking to make a difference Those looking for a difference We may be in freedom, but we're not free at all The chains are still bound to our Wrists binding us from reaching Out to the sun, The chains are still tied to our Feet hindering us from going further We can stand united Against the ****** government, Against illiteracy, Against poverty, Against pointless wars, Against abuse. We can clench up our fists, Ready to fight for what others Led way for I am, by no means, a beacon of Hope (hypocrisy at it's best) I'm uninformed, like they say Ignorance is bliss But I am not proud of it We've come far since '94 We still can go further "Together we can do more"*

*A soul Broke into two While coming To life Formed Two bodies One soul They are A twin flame Separated apart Dying to meet Longing Feeling the torment Of separation Getting weak Each passing second Incomplete Without each other Like a missing piece Of a puzzle Though still alive Alive To meet and merge Into one Once again*

rain drops fall upon her head try push her to the ground but she stands tall against it all and strength and love are found the torment and the cold of the never ending drops feed her very core with life and eventually it stops the hardships that we face are not always as we see sometimes they just happen to be exactly what we need the petals soaking wet stem dripping down with tears but still the flower stood in lieu of all her fears then the sun came out as the rain began to cease and her purpose came to light and she enjoyed a life of peace

Flower in the Rain
thoughts of you make me breathless, like walking into a steam sauna too hot seeing you causes my knees to go weak, blood rushing to that secret spot that only you know how to touch and finger driving me wild as you stop and linger crescendos of pleasurable torment until you see I'm finally spent Oh God! I'll never have enough of you baby take my breath, it's all for you

Baby's breath
~Modesty & Respect has been lost and now the tears are too hot to turn into frost~ ◄►◄►◄►◄► Sickness in the mind is revised As the eyes are revealed to a non-existing surprise Pretending that the colorful pills are sweet tasting skittles While tears forms into a spiraled riddle Generations are messed up because good-teachings are slack So in the young minds rightfulness lack There is peace even if chaos may seem to consume In dark tunnels a dim light will soon loom But if you perceive To conceive Not to believe Then tell me how will you ever achieve? Life is not a game, but a vivid reality So save every special moment of sensuality Remember that you are an instrument Play your life story, sing your mind, and bleed your words out loud with contentment You’re not useless Humanities truths…believe every single bit of it, release your stress Strength lies within your heart You’re such a beautiful sculpted art Do the opposite of what depression tells you, you won’t lose Your fate lies in each choice you make, carefully choose Your future is the next moment Make each obstacle your stepping stone and then you can easily avoid torment Then spectral corruption Will never be able to destroy your inner emotion ◄►◄►◄►◄►
