POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
They Will Never Realise..
They see your cuts,
They see your scars,
They see the marks that cover your arms.
They see the tears,
They hear the screams,
But they dont see what haunts your dreams,
They see the hurt,
They see the pain,
But in truth they dont undestand the gain.
Of a simple cut,
Of a simple burn,
They never will until its their turn,
For the hurt, the pain, the silence.
That makes you seek the releif of a knife,
A simple prick,
A small little slice,
Would make others sick,
But makes us feel so nice,
Brings a smile to our face,...

Girl Child
Smile girl child,
THe night is still young,
Smile girl child,
Run, run, run,
Open up another drink,
What about your poor mum?
Heaven knows what she will think,
SHe lost control,
You've lost your way,
Drinking & drinking,
Day after day,
Open up another vodka,
Poor another glass,
You know that within yourself,
The pain is still gunna last,
But yet you still keep going,
With another drink in hand,
Heading out the backyard,
Then laying in the sand,
You look up at the sky,
See the stars above,
And just wish and...

All My Friends ** Names changed
Sarahs* in the bathroom,
Angies* on the floor,
All my friends are dying,
God knows what for,
They cant stand to take this,
But its you that brings them to this,
When they cut again & again & again,
Another father yelling,
A screaming ex cries,
But in the end its all too much,
Its all lies, lies, lies,
Im always here for you,
No matter what they say,
Ill always frigin love you,
Day after day,
Even though i dont know you,
Or get to see you much,
You should really know,
You'v egave my heart such a touch,
Right...

Abuse
Pinks, Purples,
Yellows & Blues,
These are the marks left,
From where he hit you,
Red & swollen,
Your so bruised & broken,
The reds turn to browns,
then slowly fade to blacks,
But you know in your heart,
One day you will take him back,
Your mind is twisted & turned,
By all the truths,
All the lies.
' I love you baby '
' I really do '
But you will still love him,
The minute he hits you?
Oh he dosent mean it,
I know he means me we,
You start to whisper,
As your face starts to...

How?
We drown the pain with vodka,
We cut the sorrow with a knife.
It wont be too long now,
Until we take our own life.
We scream and shout and yell,
But we're too much under the spell,
We're stuck,
In what seems to be an everlasting loop,
We're try to stop,
But the pain that we so deserately want to leave,
Becons,
Calls out for the release,
You scream,
You shout,
You cry,
Sit there and ponder why,
Why your still alive,
Your not strong?
So how have you survived?

The Fight
She goes into the bathroom,
and locks the door behind.
She reaches for the razor,
as doubt crosses her mind.
She pulls up her shirt,
wonders why shes was the one hurt.
She takes a deep breathe in,
As she draws the blade down.
She makes another sin,
She stares at the bloody razor,
And Throws it in the bin,
"I vow this to be, the last time i cut"
Shes now trying to win.
Win the war against the fighting,
All the burning,
All the lighting.
That makes her gut keep churning.
Yes, she maybe harmful,
But within that...

The Window
The moonlite window,
Shines so bright,
Do you think i could have my wish tonight,
To be happy,
To be free,
I whisper my wish so quiet and tender,
This time tomorrow i wont even remember,
I stand at the landing,
My hair so wild and free,
Then i realise,
Im not here,
I am already gone,
Lost and forgotten never to be found.

Wild & Free
I lay here in the darkness,
How did life get so hard,
When did things change so,
Have i been drawn a joker card,
Maybe its time,
Maybe this is my way,
Iv tried to understand,
But can i survive another day,
Its not as easy as you'd think,
As i drown myself away,
In the sorrow and the saddness,
Please just let me be,
People why cant you see,
Im better off forgotten and alone,
This is the way ill always be.

Broken
The crimson lines fade to grey,
Now shes gone,
Today was the day,
You didnt think she could.
She didnt think she would,
Since the day she was born,
She had been ripped and torn,
Into pieces and threads,
And she wound up finally dead,
At the service they all cried,
They didnt know how much she tried,
To make them proud,
To make them smile,
The fight is over,
Her mile has been run,
Dont follow in her footsteps,
Just know what she had done.

Just A
Just a cut,
Just a scar,
Once again iv been pushed to far,
Just a burn,
Just a scratch,
Another lightend end of a match,
Just a nip,
Just a bruise,
Another battle set to loose,
Just a war,
Said and done,
At the end of a loaded gun.

Countdown
One cut,
Two cut,
Three cut,
Four,
Add another one,
Quick,
Before they walk through the door,
The pain,
The saddness,
Gone once more,
The free feeling,
Floating & spinning,
Add a sixth,
There coming quick,
I reach for the shirt,
Cover the blood,
Chrimson red spots apear,
Slowly soaking through,
I knew,
I know,
Iv pushed it too far,
My mind races,
Then comes to a holt,
The gain of a minutes releif,
Has taken its toll,
I reach to my base,
Cuddle my doll,
No...

God's Hands
This is to be my leaving way,
Im not staying any longer,
Today is the day,
No use sitting here in wonder,
Wishing & waiting,
In gods sweet hands i lay,
My life in lust,
This maybe,
No more cheques to write,
No more bills to pay,
At peace i may finally be,
I rest my head on the soft sweet pillow,
And dream of the years to come,
Slowly but surely i drift away,
And join the others in an exile of freedom.
