Give a Boy a Gun
Give a boy a gun
A shot in the head makes him done
Give a girl a knife
Cuts herself deep to end her strife
Give a boy a rope
He'll hang himself...he lost all hope
Give a girl some pills
An OD leaves her all still
But give them all a chance
To leave them out of their neverending trance
A shot in the head makes him done
Give a girl a knife
Cuts herself deep to end her strife
Give a boy a rope
He'll hang himself...he lost all hope
Give a girl some pills
An OD leaves her all still
But give them all a chance
To leave them out of their neverending trance

A Poem of Despair
Always achieve what you'll never believe
Soon you will see the side of me.
The real side;
I won't commit suicide if you can find the sign.
The sky is grey as you can say.
The world I see today has gone away...
to the past,
when we are in the now,
when our friends are making vows
to be the best,
better than the rest
Last night before next year
hearing things I don't want to hear.
I see my parents fight inside the sark night.
I try to stay out of sight, try not to cry with all my might
They're nipping each other off with the last...
Soon you will see the side of me.
The real side;
I won't commit suicide if you can find the sign.
The sky is grey as you can say.
The world I see today has gone away...
to the past,
when we are in the now,
when our friends are making vows
to be the best,
better than the rest
Last night before next year
hearing things I don't want to hear.
I see my parents fight inside the sark night.
I try to stay out of sight, try not to cry with all my might
They're nipping each other off with the last...

Jack and Jill
Jack and Jill
they took some pills
to make their lives end faster
Jack's knocked out
and with no doubt
Jill will soon die after
To make time past
she smoked some grace
and smiled at the skyline
She then lay down
her soul's not found
and suddenly she's out of time
they took some pills
to make their lives end faster
Jack's knocked out
and with no doubt
Jill will soon die after
To make time past
she smoked some grace
and smiled at the skyline
She then lay down
her soul's not found
and suddenly she's out of time

I Knew
I think it was the second time I- You asked me before yo-. I think it was the second time I saw you. You were wearing your David Bowie shirt and you looked like you just woke up and your eyes brightened up when you saw me and...I just knew. You came up to me and gave me this huge warm embrace that I can feel at this second- our hearts beating in tandem- and I just knew. I just knew that you were something special...something I shouldn't ever let go of. We connected and our root-like souls intertwined, growing stronger and deeper with each second. Nothing was official between us...but we just...

Anything
I'm an idiot
excuse me
I took my time
refusing
you and your caring..
I thought you were lying
but, you cared
and I would do anything to get
get you back
I miss the talk
that word has left my mind
hell is the place I don't want to go
please forgive me
I don't want to cry anymore
Pleaso oh please
I would do anything to get you back
believe me
I miss you
I'll be better
I'll try again
I want to start over
help me change
I'll tell you what's wrong
please, I kept pushing you away
I now need you more...
excuse me

The Flooding (I Guess Third Time Isn't the Charm)
I grab the blade
right to my wrist
I see my sight fade;
well, ignorance is bliss.
Waking up, I see red
blood on the floor, but I'm not dead
I'll try again
give a week or two
start my own trend
since I'm not apart of you
Failure! Failure! I cannot succeed
What do I have to do to get what I need
The third time will come
I will win
I won't stop when I'm done
I'm not doing this again
Cut, I slit my wrist a few more
I start to shake, I fall to the floor
I drag myself to the bath, hot water fill it up!
Lay myself in so my...

Failure! Failure! I cannot succeed
What do I have to do to get what I need

I will win
I won't stop when I'm done
I'm not doing this again

A Tanka
We love side to side
As we see emotions rise
What we can provide
Is what we cannot decide;
To love, to hide what's inside
As we see emotions rise
What we can provide
Is what we cannot decide;
To love, to hide what's inside

Strange Creature
In the eyes of the monster, I'm an animal
Fierce, vicious, and crazy, I'm a cannibal
Hiding through the pines, ready to pounce
I'm unknown, my species ready to be announced
Going slowly through the grass, fear in your eyes
Last thing you heard was Braham's Lullaby
You turn to see me; oh no blackout!
I ripped you to pieces; dead without a doubt
No one knows of my strange features
They just know that I'm a strange creature
Fierce, vicious, and crazy, I'm a cannibal
Hiding through the pines, ready to pounce
I'm unknown, my species ready to be announced
Going slowly through the grass, fear in your eyes
Last thing you heard was Braham's Lullaby
You turn to see me; oh no blackout!
I ripped you to pieces; dead without a doubt
No one knows of my strange features
They just know that I'm a strange creature

Haikus 4u's
I feel his breath creep
His slight whispers find my soul
I feel once again
I always felt lost
Felt there was nowhere to go
You found me, you did
My heart seeks for you
Need to find its missing piece
It's you that I need
Can this be the end?
I see the light shine for me
Can’t leave without you
His slight whispers find my soul
I feel once again
I always felt lost
Felt there was nowhere to go
You found me, you did
My heart seeks for you
Need to find its missing piece
It's you that I need
Can this be the end?
I see the light shine for me
Can’t leave without you

The Murder
I hear you scream for help
I chuckle at your pain
You being tortured you cry and yelp
You see your life flash before your eyes
But should I let you live
And let you pursue your dreams
When you ruined mine?
For now you just sit and scream
I’ll skin you till I see flesh and blood
I’ll laugh as I see your eyes start to flood
You hurt me so bad and you cry forgive and forget?
My revenge is ice cold and your death bed is set
I want you to cry Uncle
I want you to scream mercy
I want to see you in fear
I want to see you in...
I chuckle at your pain
You being tortured you cry and yelp
You see your life flash before your eyes
But should I let you live
And let you pursue your dreams
When you ruined mine?
For now you just sit and scream
I’ll skin you till I see flesh and blood
I’ll laugh as I see your eyes start to flood
You hurt me so bad and you cry forgive and forget?
My revenge is ice cold and your death bed is set
I want you to cry Uncle
I want you to scream mercy
I want to see you in fear
I want to see you in...

To My Love
I want to look into your glistening eyes
and kiss your glowing face.
From your forehead to your nose
to those lips .
I can fall under your spell endlessly-
take in your words like its my oxygen
and give you all you deserve.
Feel my heart race as its in my hand.
I'm exhilarated feeling every motion that you grant.
Come closer come closer, give me this chance.
Take my heart and keep it,
feel it pump my soul into yours,
intertwining as so.
together forever-
although forever will never be enough
and kiss your glowing face.
From your forehead to your nose
to those lips .
I can fall under your spell endlessly-
take in your words like its my oxygen
and give you all you deserve.
Feel my heart race as its in my hand.
I'm exhilarated feeling every motion that you grant.
Come closer come closer, give me this chance.
Take my heart and keep it,
feel it pump my soul into yours,
intertwining as so.
together forever-

It hurts
It hurts.
It hurts not knowing what you want.
It hurts thinking about you and not vice versa.
It hurts knowing I can never love you like she does.
Her words are so beautiful…and what am I writing?
I'm just sitting here crying.
I'm praying that you love me as you did before.
I just don’t know why I feel this way.
I say I love you and you just say ‘same’.
Are you too busy for me?
I'm sorry.
We can work this out, right?
Can you love me again?
I'm still here…if you want me.
