Reflection of Beauty
I am beautiful. Through years of struggle, strife and anger, I have realized this. I was not forged by fire, I was not bloodied by some ferocious battle. The battle I fought to become who I am today was quiet; it was brutal, and it was worth it. I never had a personality growing up; I didn’t have time for a personality. There was only time for strategy against a foe that had no face and no name. A war that was fought when the day was done and the night washed in the terrors of the dark, the voices like smoke seducing me into a lull, gently smothering me. When I was seven I had my first panic...

Colors of the Soul
How beautiful it is, to see a soul bare,
With no masks to hide it and no one to care.
How sad that it is, that there is only one soul,
That any one man shall ever see whole.
The lasts of your defenses, the last mask you wear,
The one that you show when no one else is there.
The purest reflection, the one that is you.
The most beautiful aspect, and the most true.
It may be bruised and broken and scared,
Yet what soul is perfect when truly bared?
I wish I could see you as you are,
But I know that your beauty surpasses all...
With no masks to hide it and no one to care.
How sad that it is, that there is only one soul,
That any one man shall ever see whole.
The lasts of your defenses, the last mask you wear,
The one that you show when no one else is there.
The purest reflection, the one that is you.
The most beautiful aspect, and the most true.
It may be bruised and broken and scared,
Yet what soul is perfect when truly bared?
I wish I could see you as you are,
But I know that your beauty surpasses all...

Going To A Place Where I Belong
I told you how I feel,
You told me to leave...
I will never heal.
I told you 'Here's my heart,'
You threw it on the ground.
You tore my soul apart.
I told you that I would leave,
You told me to stay.
I left you to grieve.
I told you I cried tears of blood,
You said you hoped I'd die.
I fall to the ground with a thud.
I told you I was going to die,
You told me to please stop.
I left without saying why.
I'd tell you how the blood ran to the floor,
You might've told me to stop.
But that's okay, I don't...
You told me to leave...
I will never heal.
I told you 'Here's my heart,'
You threw it on the ground.
You tore my soul apart.
I told you that I would leave,
You told me to stay.
I left you to grieve.
I told you I cried tears of blood,
You said you hoped I'd die.
I fall to the ground with a thud.
I told you I was going to die,
You told me to please stop.
I left without saying why.
I'd tell you how the blood ran to the floor,
You might've told me to stop.
But that's okay, I don't...

Calm The Storm Inside
My heart is pounding, my breaths come fast.
Each step I take may be my last.
The night’s dark arms encircle me with cold.
With every step I become more bold.
The landscape blurs, I feel as if I could fly.
To the prison called my family I have said goodbye.
The elation slows, it slowly goes.
The night helps me hide, it never shows.
I fall to my knees, a cry escaping out.
Now the adrenaline is gone, I am racked with doubt.
The knife does glint in the pale cold moon.
Death’s cold laugh promises me soon.
My blood is...

Help Me?
The blade runs across my wrist, blood runs down my arm,
Mama I just asked for a family.
We can pretend, in public you turn on your charm,
But I still feel alone.
The cloth mops up the blood, the floor is stained,
Mama I just asked for a hug.
From fiery anger there is nothing to be gained.
But I still feel dead.
The sobs are muffled by my pillow, my tears carve scars into my soul,
Mama I just asked for a kiss.
I wish I could be real, I wish I could be whole.
But I still feel hope.
The screams are only silenced by the whistle of the...

Burn
You haven't called me for a while,
I am worried.
I miss your voice, your smile.
I'm dying within.
You haven't smiled for some time,
I am weary.
I miss your kiss sublime.
I'm crying within.
You haven't trusted me for so long,
I am sad.
I miss your melodies, your beautiful song.
I'm burning within.
You haven't lived for three years,
I am alone.
I miss calming your fears.
I'm gone within.
You have been gone for a decade,
I am dead.
I made sure all my debts were paid.
I see you again.
You...
I am worried.
I miss your voice, your smile.
I'm dying within.
You haven't smiled for some time,
I am weary.
I miss your kiss sublime.
I'm crying within.
You haven't trusted me for so long,
I am sad.
I miss your melodies, your beautiful song.
I'm burning within.
You haven't lived for three years,

The Fall
A stormy day, a cloudy night,
Before you came along,
I lived my life in fright.
A silent sob, a muffled tear,
You raised me from the darkness,
A gift I’ll forever hold most dear.
A joyous laugh, an opened eye,
You promised forever,
And now I can touch the sky.
A mournful day, a stricken scream,
You lied, you died,
This love was just a dream.
An empty soul, a broken heart,
The earth turns grey,
My world is torn apart.
A haunting melody, a lingering love,
New wings of blue, let’s try them out,
Expand...

The Journey Home
Darkness cloaks your haunting visage,
Taking you away from me.
I scream in horror as you die,
Turn away and like a coward I flee.
I cry out to you,
But you never hear.
You're still by me,
When I'm loneliest, you are most near.
Cradling your memory,
Like a newborn soul.
My tears leaving invisible scars,
I'll never again be whole.
I turn to anger,
Rage igniting the fire of life.
But your memory holds me away from and guides me to,
A life influenced and ruled by strife.
Torn in two,
But whole at the same...
Taking you away from me.
I scream in horror as you die,
Turn away and like a coward I flee.
I cry out to you,
But you never hear.
You're still by me,
When I'm loneliest, you are most near.
Cradling your memory,
Like a newborn soul.
My tears leaving invisible scars,
I'll never again be whole.
I turn to anger,
Rage igniting the fire of life.
But your memory holds me away from and guides me to,
A life influenced and ruled by strife.
Torn in two,

Haunted
Empathetic emptiness,
Maybe a little hate.
Until you came along,
I thought this was my fate.
You gave me hope,
They gave me scorn.
You gave me love,
My heart was torn.
To leave or stay,
Accept or decline?
Wanting to hold you close,
Wishing to call you mine.
Finally the sun shone down,
You held my heart so dear.
But such perfection can never last,
I should've seen the end was near.
Then you left,
Then you died.
We both said forever,
Turns out you lied....
You haunt my day,
You haunt my...

Red, Black, and Blue
Red, black, and blue.
that's my image of you.
You hit me, beat me, called me some name.
Well now I'll put your beating to shame.
I'll see red, the red of your blood.
It'll be a fantastic flood.
I'll see black, the black of burnt skin.
You don't see the hate within.
I'll see blue, the blue of bruises.
Ready, set, go, we'll see who loses.
You won't hurt me, 'cuz I already see.
I see red, black, and blue... The colors of your fee.
You'll pay for the tears,
The sadness and fears.
I'm sick and through....

My Favorite Colors
People don’t understand when they ask me my favorite colors.
I’m a girl; I should like pink and purple, lime green and fluorescent yellow.
But I don’t.
My favorite colors are black, by whom Death is symbolized, and red, through whom rage is bellowed.
I hate it when I get the looks of condescension.
They don’t know what I go through.
They don’t see the scars on my soul; they don’t hear the sharp words of bullying I endure.
These two colors are the best, but only in the right hue.
Black must be as dark as my soul.
It must be as dark as a night with...
