What are we?
Everyone has their demon
and sometimes we see them through
their masks when they come stealin
past the yellow light to you
Everyone has their angels
but hidden deep within and some
--no,many-- are actually able
to kill their angels, and still be numb
so dumb
Yet if all you are is what you own
then what am I after they have taken
everything I have, even the chances I've blown
I am nothing, am i mistaken?
What are we--after they're done
with stripping us of all that defines us?
When there's no war to be won
no race...

What these tired eyes see
weary and withered
these tired eyes, tied to the past
try to understand the present
and foresee the future
but smoke and dust keep whirling in the way
not letting them see
blink once
everything's aged and dazed
blink twice
The whole universe has changed.
tight, tight cliques of girls and boys
they have their way, every day.
though at first they're friends forever
They fight, and break, and start to stray
Into the dark
Into crime
Guns, drugs, alcohol and lust
takes over the world, taking away
What is good...

Nirvana
what's that they say about peace of mind?
the promise of a paradise?
A state of tranquility? rapid and blind!
just a faint hope of the mirage's rise
though believed true, I cannot find
any Nirvana in my shadowed mind
screaming and rapid--oh, such a taunt!
a swear of peace from a seductive haunt
with the darkness comes a stranger
and the dimming of the danger
company from the illusion of friends
an umbilical noose and the gunshot that ends
militant souls living in a terror
of nirvana in syringe and fire
harmonies of mental...

Goodbye (with Diggybro...again)
there are many ways to say goodbye
endless reasons to separate
with a whisper or a cry
said with love or hate
An outstretched hand that slipped away
a colored life that then turned gray
a farewell written in paper and ink
a bottled message soon to sink
A subtle smile or the wink of an eye
a passenger pigeon, deliver-by-sky
A dedication on book or song
A funeral speech, short or long
A separation in devastation
a departure setting in hearts broken
The whisper of a winter frost
a lively love that is now lost

Dreamcatcher eyes
the dreamcatchers are overloaded
with nightmares and terrors
and pieces of dreams fall
shattered
like shards of glass
raining down on the street
people trying to pick them up
and piece them together
but two and two just won't make four
and the shards keep cutting their fingers
though what you see inside
is a land of dreams
lost
a land of hopes
dead
but those shatter, as well
into crystalline tears in
these tired dreamcatcher eyes
who only see
terror and disbelief
so unlike the past
they want to come back to.

Dead end- What the hell is wrong with me?
Somewhere along this thin line
I've completely lost my voice
and blacked out my mind
Everytime I see something good
I try to catch, then it goes
just before I could
Damn it!
I'm on another of so many dead ends
When I try to go on
My mind shrieks,and bends
Now I'm always endin' up in a fight
I'm fed up of this wall
and I don't feel alright
not even Schecter Syn-sigs cheer me up
You say "just calm it down"
But then I hit the ground
-harder!-
What the hell am I supposed to do?
If I'll...
I've completely lost my voice
and blacked out my mind
Everytime I see something good

School
A changed schedule
again
geography or Indonesian?
I'm lost
My mind is elsewhere, far away
I don't know what she's talking about
Instead, I'm typing
words on this site
"submit poem"
I should be studying
for finals, maybe
but my mind refuses to care
I have to focus
but I don't want to
I must listen
but it's too boring
damn it
I'm fed up of her voice
her face
I've been looking at her
for three fucking years!
My eyes wander to the clock
Math, recess, history...
nothing interesting...

Loneliness (made for the Loneliness competition)
they say there's lots of fish in the sea
well, they all seem to hate me
loneliness is my only friend
a friendship I doubt will ever end
The songs I lure from my guitar
they all seem so sad and far
the world seems to be having fun
unaware as I come undone
my life is dark, it's cold and stark
what's non existent still leaves a mark
easily a blade piercing through my sadness
loneliness comes like a raging madness
well fuck this, no-one seems to care
my sanity's hanging by a hair
Its forlorn grip...

The Flying Donut (with Diggybro)
ok this is a really random piece that Diggybro and I made in school.. We got bored and hungry... and yes, I did spell 'doughnut' as 'donut' don't worry, that was on purpose.
The flying donut, watch it go!
watch it fly side to side, watch it fly high and low
chocolate base and mint fondant swirls
fly in the sky, watch it spin, watch it twirl!
it looks marvelous, that's very true
not only that, it must taste real nice too!
Cream cheese inside and sprinkles out
oh, how that donut makes me wanna shout!
That topping looks so very glazy
it's driving me...

Odd One Out
I don't know where to put this, so I'll just stick it in Miscellaneous. Here goes.
a red rose among the plain snow white
a treasure hidden in plain sight
in the silence, a scream and a shout
in everyone's minds, the odd one out
a smile amongst the whispering madness
a joyful light amidst the sadness
a wayward path defying the route
tearing through wind, the odd one out
a triangle between the squares
the one alone, amidst the pairs
the one that grins while the others pout
a deviation, the odd one out
A wildflower among...

The Flame
Dancing
On-off
electric blue fading, changing, rising
into bright orange
it is still, then continues to dance
casting moving shadows
along the weary walls
weak, yet illuminating
Here, a single prancing flame
will brighten your path
even if it is small
and quickly fading
will burn the world to ashes
though it started with a spark
what was once a dark room
now hosts a bright little flame
prancing
off-on
bright orange centering, expanding, revolving
at electric blue
it slowly dances, and is then still...

What I've become
These flames were made from sorrow
this heart beats out pain
this soul's completely hollow
in the ruins of the rain
Nothing mortal lives forever
nothing human sees no sin
Much alike, the now & never
The things we've done, the trouble we're in
Why do we always live in haste?
Why can't we just get rid of hate?
Why do I always go to waste?
I won't listen, I write my own fate.
I need nobody, nobody needs me
I have nothing but myself to fear
I'm invisible, but everything you see
No such thing has ever been so mere
