Left Behind
Sometimes when the earth turns, it leaves me behind.
Somber in color, vibrant in dullness,
I stand where I stood a year ago confined.
Unable to move, from where I have stood
I sigh.
I can not walk off
the red fire provoked within me,
I can not replenish
the blue well I have conditioned drowning within,
I can not smile
with the sun when I am content.
I can not feel nor exist when I stand in the night sky
as the life I live on earth spins by.
I can only stand still and wait until earth comes back for me,
inhaling a breath of light,...

The loss of color
There was a time I saw in color.
Smiling happily, a child
lost in wonder.
Then the voices got louder.
Screams and yells were hard
and loud like thunder.
I would then hide under the covers,
trying to survive with
deep slumber.
But I didn't make it.
I began to be tired almost
constantly, trying to
be the child that used to dream.
Though my world began to bleed
black and white.
The voices came back,
and took over my mind.
As the years passed by.
I realized they also took my life.
They turned me into a walking corpse,...

Closer, Quicker
I can't seem to escape
from this god awful place.
I'm paralyzed and know
it's all too late.
I can't leave, i can't hide,
i'm petrified.
I can't turn around,
or else i'll never be found.
I know the demon will follow me,
inside and out.
So i stay to face my fate.
I close my eyes, and feel the
cold air rise.
Shadowy chains start to climb
My arms trapped, feeling terrorized.
I hear a whisper,
as the chuckle and words
begin to linger.
Followed by the Demon coming
closer, quicker.
My eyes begin to tear,
all that...
from this god awful place.
I'm paralyzed and know
it's all too late.
I can't leave, i can't hide,
i'm petrified.
I can't turn around,
or else i'll never be found.
I know the demon will follow me,
inside and out.
So i stay to face my fate.
I close my eyes, and feel the
cold air rise.
Shadowy chains start to climb
My arms trapped, feeling terrorized.
I hear a whisper,
as the chuckle and words
begin to linger.
Followed by the Demon coming
closer, quicker.
My eyes begin to tear,

I feel so suicidal
I feel so sad.
My eyes fill with tears
as loneliness reappears.
I wait for my time to end, hoping
for my coffin to descend
into the dirt, so cold and empty.
I don't want to be here anymore.
My body has become so sore.
This feeling just won't end,
it only extends.
I cry and cry, to the point
where my nose is stuffed and
i'm red eyed.Oh, just let me die.
It's all in my mind and it won't leave.
I'm tired of fighting, i'm tired of
being told i'm just some lie.
I'm not fine, iv'e asked for help
over a thousand times.
Yet...

I, the demon
I'm a murderer.
No, not the type you think
i am...
I'm the silent type.
I take lives, unnoticed,
every day, every night.
I have no urge to kill,
no one to eliminate,
but only to torture.
I sit in the back of your head,
and begin to whisper.
I grin when you frown,
smile when you cry,
laugh when you're down,
ready to die.
I'm the voice that tells you
it's time.
It's me who steals your
sister
brother
mother
father
uncle
aunt... Anyone you care about
will be mine....

I am
I am just fine.
I'm a daughter
that hides her depression
better than any drug dealer.
I'm a sister making
a better impression than
what i'm truly feeling.
I'm a friend acting like
life couldn't be better,
even though i'm waiting
for my clock to run out of time.
I'm a teenager that drowns within
her anxiety and tears almost
every night.
I'm the quiet girl sitting next
to you, asking how your day was to
seem normal.
I'm the one who cares though
i'm badly bruised, and broken.
Silently...

The Demon's Whispers (2)
There are no monsters under your bed,
or in your closet -
they are all in your head.
They scream and hurt,
they lie and torture.
They giggle when you cry,
grin when you're hopeless,
and laugh when you're down.
But they never stay quiet.
They fallow you to your dreams,
giving you nightmares until you
wake up with tears.
There's no cure for the demons
words, they only mess you up
and break you down.
Leaving you shattered on the ground,
asking
"When is this going to end?"
or in your closet -
they are all in your head.
They scream and hurt,
they lie and torture.
They giggle when you cry,
grin when you're hopeless,
and laugh when you're down.
But they never stay quiet.
They fallow you to your dreams,
giving you nightmares until you
wake up with tears.
There's no cure for the demons
words, they only mess you up
and break you down.
Leaving you shattered on the ground,
asking
"When is this going to end?"

Is it ok
Is it ok for me stay inside my room,
surrounded by darkness
all alone?
Is it ok for me to hate myself,
as if acted upon instinct?
Is it ok to lay on the floor thinking of
how pathetic i am?
I guess i'm not aloud to... but i do it any way :)

The Dream
Castles and knights
were once a dream of mine.
One where i'd run free
and live a very happy life.
But as time came,
everything changed.
I no lo longer lived in a giant castle,
but in a small corner.
I no longer ruled a fair kingdom,
but only dark depressive thoughts.
I no longer wore dresses and heels,
but only scares under my jeans.
Worst of all i have no prince.
No prince to dance with,
no prince to smile to,
no prince to be happy with.
I am alone, in my broken isolated world.

The Demon (1)
The demon is here, it's presence
evil and cold.
It hides among the shadows
it made in my mind, called home.
It quietly tears me apart
when i'm whole;
Whispering lies into my ears,
making it worse to keep fighting, going.
But it wasn't always like this.
Before i had life;
bright and innocent.
Now a constant war full of strife,
ending soon with a stab of a knife.

Me
I want to be saved from myself.
I know I should be good,
Yet I'm at my best when destroyed.
I want to be normal,
but the horrible, insane,lonely monster that is controlling me
denies it.
I want to be happy and carefree,
but when ever I get a chance at being the girl you think you see,
I ruin everything.
I can't take it anymore, I can't keep hurting those I do and don't love, it's too hard to keep going with the illusion I am.
So as a final sin, as a final accident,
I take a deep breath, let go of life;
enjoy peace within the darkness.
