if I set myself on fire
drench myself in gasoline
will it melt through my skin
and **** the cells with thoughts and schemes-

-for the longest time
I'd illuminate my words
hope for the best
and let the cauldron stir!
I hope
that
the witchcraft
crafts
a new heart's
bath
in blood and
wrath!
my dream was
to create a song
dark enough to let
my thoughts sink in!
black enough to make
my white skin gone!
thick enough to choke
my throat till it splits!
**** down the blood from the slits!
call out to death for his kiss!

If I set myself on fire!
Will that be the end!
Will I be purified!
No longer play pretend!

-i never wanted to watch the swing set
set its chains down to rest
turn my eyes to hollow forecasts
and let my past take final breaths-

you are not alone-
the shadows ever stirred
the angels on the walls
the anger all unheard!
you are not alone-
the monsters in the dark
the heavens in their tears
the callous of the heart!
you are not alone!
the teeth grind in the sleep
the bathroom groans in pain
the dripping from the sink!
you are not alone!
the times down on your knees
the rashes on your elbows
the prayers prayed for weeks!
you are not alone!
the knocked-down-black-eyed breaths
the arms now pushing up
the taking of the final steps-

you are not alone-
for though you are on  fire
drowning in the ocean
the breath will not expire
though the water should
it wont end the flames
deep inside the heart
is where the war is raged.
don't let those hands down
box until your dead!
turn not now until the grave is cracked
against the match with father death!

They won't leave me alone.
All they want to do is say bad things.

      Your no good! No one likes you! You should go die you ugly *****!

I hate it... I'm useless to everyone. Why won't they shut up?

        Your such a loser. And everyone hates yohr guts. No one likes a *****.

*****? Loser? What did I ever do... I thought I mattered. Maybe I really don't.

         That's right. You don't matter. And no one will ever love you. No one will ever give a **** about you.

Okay... I want.the voices to go away! How do I make them shut up? Please... shut up...

         Thats the problem. We won't shut up. You can't make us. Now, be a good person and and let everyone live in peace. Without you taking up space in the world!
