Never Enough of Something
Once upon a time in a land far away
There lived a little girl and she cried all day
Her brothers called her stupid
And her parents told her stay
And so the little girl wiped her tears away
Each side has more cons than pros
She hides the cuts, in fear it shows
Fighting her demons afraid and alone
Hating herself blood, skin and bone
If she had a gun
The deed would be done
If she had a rope
She'd loose more than her hope
She expresses the tears she cannot cry
As a mess of scars on her thigh
She...

Glass shards
Play my tricky little game
Dance through an ocean filled with flame
Eyes of emerald, tears of gold
Words of wisdom, oh so old
I didn't sleep and when I did,
I didn't dream
I didn't live and when I did,
I didn't scream
A cosmos of hearts bit just one will win
The one that accepts me and all of my sins
I will choose my own fate
Carve a path of bitter hate
You say you love me then stab me right back
You say you care but I'm under attack
Not scared of Death and his reaper scythe
But...
Dance through an ocean filled with flame
Eyes of emerald, tears of gold
Words of wisdom, oh so old
I didn't sleep and when I did,
I didn't dream
I didn't live and when I did,
I didn't scream
A cosmos of hearts bit just one will win
The one that accepts me and all of my sins
I will choose my own fate
Carve a path of bitter hate
You say you love me then stab me right back
You say you care but I'm under attack
Not scared of Death and his reaper scythe
But...

Insomnia (Also low-key dark and drug poem)
I wake up in the morning
Already running out of time
Because I went to bed at 6 AM
And woke up at 8:09
I know it isn't healthy, I know it isn't good
I know, I know, I'm not doing what I should
Insomnia is a drug that I'm addicted to
I try to sleep, I'm not lying, it's true
If you just called my bluff then you'd be right
But now and then I do put up a fight
These sleepless nights do me nothing but harm
But I still stay awake with no need for an alarm
Nobody's noticed
Constantly living on two hours of sleep
It's...
Already running out of time

I try to sleep, I'm not lying, it's true
If you just called my bluff then you'd be right
But now and then I do put up a fight
These sleepless nights do me nothing but harm
But I still stay awake with no need for an alarm

Waiting for Karma
How do you know you hate someone?
I'm not sure, maybe I'm the dumb one
All I know is what I know
Is that I know, more than I show
You made me cry
You made me lie
I've heard stories of karma
The sweet revenge
The dark avenge
Pay for every tear I shed
Pay for wrists stained in red
Pay for the nice words I was forced to say
Pay for the blood which you carelessly betray
I want to see you hurt like you hurt me
Bleeding scars only the heart can see
Forever reminded this nightmare real ...
I'm not sure, maybe I'm the dumb one

Pay for every tear I shed
Pay for wrists stained in red
Pay for the nice words I was forced to say
Pay for the blood which you carelessly betray
I want to see you hurt like you hurt me
Bleeding scars only the heart can see
Forever reminded this nightmare real ...

Not quite right
Insane
In pain
The cuts, they heal
The scars remain
Sadness
Madness
An illusion, a dream
I'm going to scream
Death
Breath
My innocence was killed
The water ripples stilled
Blame
Insane
Trapped in the past
Standing steadfast
Pain
Chain
My emotions must die so I can live
I killed my past self and done things you cannot forgive
Shut out
Doubt
I built my heart a cage
But I still feel hatred and rage
Lie
Cry
I think I want to die
In pain
The cuts, they heal
The scars remain
Sadness
Madness
An illusion, a dream
I'm going to scream
Death
Breath
My innocence was killed
The water ripples stilled
Blame
Insane
Trapped in the past
Standing steadfast
Pain
Chain
My emotions must die so I can live
I killed my past self and done things you cannot forgive
Shut out
Doubt
I built my heart a cage
But I still feel hatred and rage
Lie
Cry
I think I want to die

Pretty little lies
Tell me your secretes
Tell me your fears
Show me your scars
And don't hide your tears
I promise I love you, I promise I care
I don't mean to frighten, I don't mean to scare
I swear I'll never leave
You've been broken, I know, but please believe
When I say you're safe
When I'll protect you
I'll keep you happy, so never feel blue
Tell me that you love me, even if it's fake
Tell me that you care when you're keeping me awake
I have just one heart and I give it to you
And I only can say this because I know it's not true
Tell me your fears
Show me your scars
And don't hide your tears
I promise I love you, I promise I care
I don't mean to frighten, I don't mean to scare
I swear I'll never leave
You've been broken, I know, but please believe
When I say you're safe
When I'll protect you
I'll keep you happy, so never feel blue
Tell me that you love me, even if it's fake
Tell me that you care when you're keeping me awake
I have just one heart and I give it to you
And I only can say this because I know it's not true

A Girl Full of
Save me from this madness
Rid me of this sadness
I'm drowning in feelings
In an emotion filled cage
I'm floating up to the ceiling
Choking on sadness, filled up with rage
Love is a shakle, dragging me down
My heartbeat betrays me, helping me drown
My life is a book, with more than one torn out page
Leaving me dancing in the shadows of life's grand stage
Ink and air mix with blood
Mix with her tears, creating a flood
To powerful to be contained
To strong to be restrained
She was a supernova of death
That created a star...

Hidden Rose
I dream of being a rose
With a wild beauty only found in secluded meadows
But in reality
I am a blackberry bramble, still part of the rose family
People freely take from me
Despite my thorny dignity
Then yell and cry when I fight
Because they assumed my bark was much worse than my bite
I am a weed that is hated
But a rose is loved, despite its stem serrated
I am unique
I am a freak
But then one day I noticed a petaled flower
Shortly after a summer shower
A white thing of simple beauty
Not flaunted...

Trapped
In the race of life time passes me by
The past, the present, the future, all one lie
In a glass prision, a soundproof box
Perfectly seamless, crystal clear, no door, no locks
I yell, I scream, I shout, I cry
Nobody notices as I slowly die
Frantic, manic, sane is the new crazy
In a picture perfect world, wrong and right is hazy
My screams make no sound, my fists make no dent
After so long my existence is spent
I am weak, I am broken
I am silent and all my words are spoken
I am the calm after my storm
The past, the present, the future, all one lie
In a glass prision, a soundproof box
Perfectly seamless, crystal clear, no door, no locks
I yell, I scream, I shout, I cry
Nobody notices as I slowly die
Frantic, manic, sane is the new crazy
In a picture perfect world, wrong and right is hazy
My screams make no sound, my fists make no dent
After so long my existence is spent
I am weak, I am broken
I am silent and all my words are spoken
I am the calm after my storm

Revenge of a Phoenix
I thought I reached the lowest of the lows
Thought I could withstand their strongest verbal blows
They laughed and mocked me as I fall
They saw me on my knees, crying out, it so hard to stand tall
Their words are a rope
Hanging me and stealing my hope
But break a bone it'll mend stronger
Break a person and they'll fight longer
One day they'll drown in a torrent of my tears
One day they will know the root of human fears
But for now my rage is hidden, like a shadow in the night
Waiting for the day, when it's let out to fight
Thought I could withstand their strongest verbal blows
They laughed and mocked me as I fall
They saw me on my knees, crying out, it so hard to stand tall
Their words are a rope
Hanging me and stealing my hope
But break a bone it'll mend stronger
Break a person and they'll fight longer
One day they'll drown in a torrent of my tears
One day they will know the root of human fears
But for now my rage is hidden, like a shadow in the night
Waiting for the day, when it's let out to fight

Nonexistent
Nowhere to come from
Nowhere to go
No way to stop the rivers flow
No way to freeze the moon in its flight
No way to capture the essence of starlight
Somewhere to go and
Somewhere to be
Somewhere to find the lock for the key
Someday we'll reach our goal
Someday we'll all grow old
Somewhere is nowhere and nowhere is here
There's no way to stop and some days a dream
I'm going insane I'm going to scream
Nowhere to go
No way to stop the rivers flow
No way to freeze the moon in its flight
No way to capture the essence of starlight
Somewhere to go and
Somewhere to be
Somewhere to find the lock for the key
Someday we'll reach our goal
Someday we'll all grow old
Somewhere is nowhere and nowhere is here
There's no way to stop and some days a dream
I'm going insane I'm going to scream
