I don't write a lot. If I feel something strong enough, you'll eventually read it.

Smile Like You're Dead Inside
Two halves of a broken soul
Working in tandem to achieve a common goal.
A resolve shattered like a confectionists' egg
Leaves you wary to leave your bed.
And under your covers you'll lie,
Tears of despair you relentlessy cry.
You understand the world outside is just too tough to face.
You understand that there's no hope for the human race.
Your life's no drama, it's a farce.
And what makes it beautiful is that you aren't the star.
You're an extra, in the background, damned to be unnoticed.
But you'll find that...
Working in tandem to achieve a common goal.
A resolve shattered like a confectionists' egg
Leaves you wary to leave your bed.
And under your covers you'll lie,
Tears of despair you relentlessy cry.
You understand the world outside is just too tough to face.
You understand that there's no hope for the human race.

Desolation
Kick me when I'm on the ground.
I can't go on any more, my mind- no longer sound.
Liars! Cheaters! Those with no souls!
Look! Can't you see how you've made my heart so cold?
More endless pain, no one with which to share.
Even my friends no longer care.
If there was an easier way out, I probably wouldn't be taking the hit.
Maybe there is, because I'm through with this shit.
Better for all if I just leave.
Really don't want them to hear my pleas,
Of my desire for empathy and understanding.
Killing off all the people who try...

No Shadows at the Bottom
They dance around me.
Look at them, all of them.
Projecting away from me like spokes, spiraling ever so slightly more and more out of control.
Each of them represent something.
Latent aspects of myself that I'm too scared to explore.
Dark horizons in the distance beckon me from this lightless world.
And into what? More shadows?
The shadow spokes break free and take shape, converging on me, grabbing me, dragging me into the distance.
I can't struggle, they've bound me.
We reach the horizon and no longer is there ground, only a large pit.
An endless...

My name is Eli
The ability to do better was put in my genes.
Black? Now my favorite color is green.
I don't do anger, it's a waste of time.
And no more letting myself fall behind.
My preferred drinks are organic, no more soda.
And I abide by a stricter code of honor to serve my moral quota.
I won't be weighed down in any endeavor
By dejection, depression, or even someone better.
My love of Dragonball remains the same,
But I won't spend all day playing some silly game.
Some more exercise and less crying,
If you're calling my bluff then you'd be lying. ...

Broken Glass
The glass tinkles on the kitchen floor, startling Annie awake.
It's 3 in the morning.
"Just an old woman hearing things.." she mumbles to herself.
She tries to doze back off, only to meet with the clatter of ceramic.
Then the thump thump thump of small anxious footsteps up the hall.
It's her grandson, Ted, he heard the sounds too.
There's a small scream, but it is cut short by two, almost imperceptible coughs.
She didn't hear Ted again.
There are more coughs. Not real coughs, little spits.
pok pok pok pok pok pok pok pok pok pok pok

For No One
Broken!
The word screams through the white walls of my mind,
as I stumble through this labyrinth of my design.
Lost joy, and new despairs.
The worst part is no one cares.
It's so quiet, not a sound.
This only made the approaching footsteps more profound.
Into my world some soul has pried.
My inner sanctum- compromised!
And into my world...

Love Fooled Me
You heartless bastard, ironically enough.
To tantalize me with so much warmth.
And hold me captive to a young girls hearth.
The fire in it burning only for me.
The words that flowed between us, all too sweet.
And to extinguish this flame took my greatest resolve.
And it built between us a great, brick wall.
But I blame you! You knew I wasn't ready!
You rocked my world with a hand so steady.
And then she left me, all alone.
To my own devices.
The melancholic blue soaks through bone.
And with her gone I've given in to my old vices. ...

t(-.-t) f**k you, world. f**k you.
Broken lies
Twisted words
Shifty guys
Heartless girls
Ripped and torn
Used and worn
Useless, pathetic
Everyone's a critic...
Well shut the hell up!
I couldn't care less.
You think it matters to me
how you think my life should be lived?
Here's a bucket full the fucks I give-
See?! It's empty, just like my soul.
And you've the nerve to ask why I'm so cold?
It's your fault and hers, and his, and it's.
It's the fault of the world, so world-
Suck my dick.

No
Is there someone else?"
I had to say it like that. Ease the pressure.
I saw the look in his eyes.
Those dark green eyes I thought I loved.
How they shifted away, only for a moment.
The gears turned.
His lips twitched, ever so slightly.
Lips that started to form a word.
A word that I knew would make or break my world.
I saw them move. But I heard nothing.
I didn't even read them.
All I could think of was that first day.
I was new in school, an outsider.
No one liked me. I was a klutz.
But he did.
He sat with me...

Phoenix Xero
We stare each other down.
My aura emits a white-blue glow.
Your's is intermittent with specks of black and red.
I can see it in your eyes, pure malice.
Resentment.
Animosity.
Hatred.
You're stronger than me, it is true.
Physically, emotionally.
Maybe even mentally.
Where what little good I have ends,
Your evil begins.
And how very much of it you possess.
I know when compared to you, I am weak.
And when the world breaks me, you manifest yourself.
In my mannerisms, my actions, my words.
Even my voice.
When I'm...
