POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
Blackened Melodic Hardcore/Post-hardcore/Emo lyrics, poems, stories, and ranblings from another worthless junkie boy. 28, with scarred wrists, dying eyes, bad decisions, and on heroin. The Darker Side of Daydreaming.
I Am What I Am
I am a god.
neither yours, or any other's
but a god nonetheless
To myself, I owe each day
and to myself I owe gratitude
I create myself, for myself
I am vengeful yet kind
to those who in like mind see me
as a god among a pantheon
my brothers, sisters, and I
shine in illuminated darkness
balanced between known and unknown
an occult mystery
forever being unraveled
as I strive to discover myself
for I am a god
neither yours, nor any others
but a god, nonetheless
neither yours, or any other's
but a god nonetheless
To myself, I owe each day
and to myself I owe gratitude
I create myself, for myself
I am vengeful yet kind
to those who in like mind see me
as a god among a pantheon
my brothers, sisters, and I
shine in illuminated darkness
balanced between known and unknown
an occult mystery
forever being unraveled
as I strive to discover myself
for I am a god
neither yours, nor any others
but a god, nonetheless

Nighttime Drive
cold nights show the sighs escaping lips
so perfect in the moonlit glow
smoke from cigarettes laces each breath
from your frame so delicate it could be made from snow
heartbeats continue racing as we drive with windows down
blitzkid in the stereo, we're gonna leave this town
smoke rolls out the windows as the bottle's passed around
silhouettes come through the dark with laughter's joyful sound
I promise, love, that we'll be fine
nothing is gonna stop us, they couldn't if they tried
we've got the whiskey in the bottle
and our friends are by...

Stuck (unfinished?)
lets bring it back to the days when we hated ourselves
so i'm not the only one still going through hell
when the music was emotion spilling over the top
and blood was the only thing to get it to stop
i'm twenty-two going on sixteen
still running around lost in a scream
all of my friends got their shit in check
but all I can think is of ropes around necks
while they sleep beside new families
I walk alone across silent city streets
while they laugh for joy at what each new day brings
I still feel locked away and unable to think
and...

white powder
What the fuck am I on?!
we crushed it against a mirror
powdered white, it's crystal clear
we didn't know what we were doing
the walls are fucking breathing
somewhere a child is weeping
dear god I feel like screaming
what the fuck am I on?!
numbness is taking over
I cant think straight anymore
I think we kissed like lovers
tell me what im doing
I need to keep moving
fuck she wasn't real
what the hell are we doing?

Left, Right
left, right, step in line
eyes high to keep you blind
left, right, step in line
televise the great divide
left, right, step in line
march to war no longer kind
left, right, step in line
bullets flying all around
left, right, step in line
bodies broken on the ground
left, right, step in line
rifles crack in evil sound
left, right, step in line
exterminate a human life
left, right, step in line
burn the corpse and then recite
left, right, step in line
fire makes the future bright
eyes high to keep you blind
left, right, step in line
televise the great divide
left, right, step in line
march to war no longer kind
left, right, step in line
bullets flying all around
left, right, step in line
bodies broken on the ground

rifles crack in evil sound

exterminate a human life

Just For Me
let the poisons in
give in to temptation
just this once
just for me
revel in your sins
live in anticipation
just this once
just for me
i'll keep your secrets hidden
love me like its forbidden
just this once
just for me
let me inside your skin
shiver with gratification
just this once
just for me..

Be Still, My Love
Graveyard stones and broken bones
Hide the secrets inside
Decrepit hall and rotten walls
In the forest out of sight
A lovers dreams turned into screams
By betrayal and a knife
Be still my love
My lovely little drug
You're free now run towards the light
I've freed your soul
A love made whole
I'll return for your body tonight
I'll hide you underneath the stars
Where nobody else can see the scars
Of your wretched, Ugly life
You're beautiful now
Don't make a sound
I'll soon lay beside you
underneath the ground
...

two years too late
two hours til you told me two year too late
two years after friendship spawned hate
two years you kept me in shadow and life
two years later you're the reason i died
two hours til you told me you'd fucked both room mates
two years after they split your legs open
complicated your gate
two years and too much i think of the day
when every last bit of myself left, gone away
two years ive faked it
two years ive tried
two years ive seen you
and every time died
two hours till you told me two years too late.

f**k You(me)
fuck your face, fuck your life
take the knife, slash it twice
make it deep, make it count
you gotta make the blood come out
fuck the world, fuck its lies
leave it for the fucking flies
put the gun against your head
pull the trigger, splattered red
paint the wall, put your family in debt
stuck paying for your fucking death
fuck your hopes, fuck your dreams
you'll soon find out they mean nothing
to anyone as well as self
so put them on a fucking shelf
carry on until you die
by your own hand or another try
take the knife, slash it twice

This isn't written by me, and I will take it down if necessary, but I wanted to share something written by a childhood friend (an old youth group leader) who died this week. I never knew he wrote, not many people did, so I wanted to share it with DU so maybe his words could make some one smile.
I walked alone through fields of green
And through the city's throng;
And though I thought I walked alone
I could not have been more wrong.
Down through the years I roamed around
So aimlessly day by day;
I knew not where to go or to turn
And then I thought...

Addictive Silence (Haiku?)
Percocet cut fine
Like snow on a gleaming screan
Mute monsters within
Like snow on a gleaming screan

Panic Attack
stumble through the battlefield
disoriented, dazed, confused
casualties are screaming
the senses are abused
breathing is impossible
choking on your tongue
no words can speak
collapse into yourself
protection from your mind
the battlefield is empty
no longer can you hide
the sky is falling inward
the ground is rising up
the mountains in the distance
will soon be seen close up
screaming here is useless
nobody will find out
youre trapped inside oblivion
with no way in or out
nobody knows youre lost here
nobody will...
