Comfort me, don't save me.
Reimburse me for my fate,
fill my hollow, tired eyes.
Tell me now it's not too late,
Tuck me in with tainted lies.
Havoc falls like heavy rain,
As I tread with shallow breaths.
Sinking further in my pain,
I feel it slosh inside my chest.
Save my soul or dive right in,
Drowning by association.
I swore that I knew how to swim,
but doubt cut off my circulation.
I'm in a tree of branching reasons,
each one tearing through my past.
My luck is bad through every season,
as leaves of why fall to the grass....
fill my hollow, tired eyes.
Tell me now it's not too late,
Tuck me in with tainted lies.
Havoc falls like heavy rain,
As I tread with shallow breaths.
Sinking further in my pain,
I feel it slosh inside my chest.
Save my soul or dive right in,
Drowning by association.
I swore that I knew how to swim,
but doubt cut off my circulation.
I'm in a tree of branching reasons,
each one tearing through my past.
My luck is bad through every season,
as leaves of why fall to the grass....

ANGER POEM

Rage on display.
Tree tops sway in suspense
As her rage slowly builds.
The progression intense,
It pours through the fields.
It deadens all flowers,
As the sun tries to flee.
And in the darkest of hours,
she's a hundred degrees.
The animals pause,
And the stars look away.
For her deadliest flaws
are all on display.
You can hear a pin drop,
from a bomb in her case.
And she feels the world stop
with a grin on her face.
As her rage slowly builds.
The progression intense,
It pours through the fields.
It deadens all flowers,
As the sun tries to flee.
And in the darkest of hours,
she's a hundred degrees.
The animals pause,
And the stars look away.
For her deadliest flaws
are all on display.
You can hear a pin drop,
from a bomb in her case.
And she feels the world stop
with a grin on her face.

Lights out.
As darkness calls, I blend right in.
My demons call for me to sin.
If I refuse they'll give me hell.
Win or lose, I"ll never tell.
As voices taunt, I lay in bed.
The monster wants inside my head.
There's truth with light that burns my eyes.
It blinds the night and drowns their lies.
So scorch my skin, ignore the flames.
I'll rise again in darker games.
My demons call for me to sin.
If I refuse they'll give me hell.
Win or lose, I"ll never tell.
As voices taunt, I lay in bed.
The monster wants inside my head.
There's truth with light that burns my eyes.
It blinds the night and drowns their lies.
So scorch my skin, ignore the flames.
I'll rise again in darker games.

A pretty gamble
You've captured my eyes,
but will you meet me halfway?
For I've had numerous tries,
and none of them stayed.
It's not your fault that I'm cautious,
you can blame their mistakes.
See I'm used to the losses,
but they've marked me with stains.
I've scrubbed at my skin,
but it's beneath all the layers.
Desertion within,
I'm used to the traitors.
I've welcomed them in,
like a prison of such.
Where love doesn't win
and you miss it so much.
You could cause me more pain,
yet you could be my...
but will you meet me halfway?

Tucking in the intruder
These walls digest all my strength,
and my mind is the room.
I am hindered to think,
these thoughts are my tomb.
Goodbyes make me crumble,
it happens quite often.
I am wrecked from a stumble,
Like I've glanced at my coffin.
I'm alive on these pages,
but I am numb without ink.
Depression has faces,
and mine doesn't blink.
It startes with a hunger
I can't quite describe.
But dare not you wonder
If you wish to survive.
If that made you tremble,
just don't jump in my head.
For it...
and my mind is the room.
I am hindered to think,
these thoughts are my tomb.
Goodbyes make me crumble,
it happens quite often.
I am wrecked from a stumble,
Like I've glanced at my coffin.
I'm alive on these pages,
but I am numb without ink.
Depression has faces,
and mine doesn't blink.
It startes with a hunger
I can't quite describe.
But dare not you wonder
If you wish to survive.
If that made you tremble,
just don't jump in my head.
For it...

Glitch
I'm frozen in panic,
And I'm begging to thaw.
My insides are frantic,
digesting my fall.
An eerie prediction,
the picture so vivid.
But a valid description
of this cycle I live in.
My soul is not corrupted,
but a defense against my mind.
And the filter has combusted,
a glitch in my design.
Not your typical human,
i'm built for this pain.
Derived from the ruin,
it runs through my veins.
I've rose from the ashes,
but my stomachs in knots.
I know that it passes,
but it seems I...

A darker farewell
I've confused my own demons,
for I've perfected the darkness.
I've embraced every weakness,
So their weapons are harmless.
I run around them in circles,
with a rope of their lies.
I expose the eternal
As I say my goodbyes.
What a mess I have made,
choking evil to death.
But their dept has been payed
as I lay them to rest.
Their remains will be scattered,
and I await their return.
For I can hear distant chatter,
but now they aren't my concern.
for I've perfected the darkness.
I've embraced every weakness,
So their weapons are harmless.
I run around them in circles,
with a rope of their lies.

As I say my goodbyes.
What a mess I have made,

But their dept has been payed
as I lay them to rest.
Their remains will be scattered,
and I await their return.
For I can hear distant chatter,
but now they aren't my concern.

Empathetic bullet
Can you hear my cries for help?
You probably wouldn't understand.
But I'm at war with myself,
and I'm reaching for a hand.
These days it's not as often
that I'm at the mercy of my mind.
But it's like I'm locked inside a coffin
and no one knows that I'm alive.
That's how depression feels,
to those who aren't aware.
And if you don't think it's real,
it means that you've been spared.
And you're lucky if you don't,
for you may have dodged a bullet
that many often won't.
They'll find the trigger and pull...

Nightly Pondering
This society thrives on corruption,
and I am not all good or evil,
but a balance of growth and destruction,
as I sift through all the people.
The traffic of hate is heavy,
my heart held at it's redlights.
And my love is like confetti,
it falls like dark at every midnight.
Will it land around the pure?
the last of a dying breed?
My mind is not so sure,
but my heart says to proceed.
I often yearn to not exist,
but oh how bland would that be?
And who would be the gift,
the change I wish to see?
...

darker forecast.
These walls will crumble down,
And the rooftop may collapse.
All alone here on the ground,
I'm surrounded by your traps.
The house fought off deciet,
and as my heart fell down like rain,
I stand here in bare feet
And I am drentched with heavy pain.
I can't control the weather,
but this forecast predicts my fall.
I've thought that things were better,
but I was dreaming through it all.
I wish you'd take your darkened clouds,
for someone's in a drought.
Follow evil through the crowd,
And drown the hollow...
And the rooftop may collapse.
All alone here on the ground,
I'm surrounded by your traps.
The house fought off deciet,
and as my heart fell down like rain,
I stand here in bare feet
And I am drentched with heavy pain.
I can't control the weather,
but this forecast predicts my fall.
I've thought that things were better,
but I was dreaming through it all.
I wish you'd take your darkened clouds,
for someone's in a drought.
Follow evil through the crowd,
And drown the hollow...

Durable
I'll introduce you to this darkness,
for it's whispers sound like me.
As you shake hands with this catharsis,
believe just half of what you see.
For it adapts with such illusion,
you'll be fooled by it's facade.
Blind to it's pollution,
Your perception may be flawed.
But take all of your assumptions,
and wash them down the drain.
Because I deal with this corruption,
You're wrong about my pain.
So many nights I've been abandoned,
betrayed by my own mind.
No matter how much I demanded,
it...
for it's whispers sound like me.
As you shake hands with this catharsis,
believe just half of what you see.
For it adapts with such illusion,
you'll be fooled by it's facade.
Blind to it's pollution,

But take all of your assumptions,
and wash them down the drain.
Because I deal with this corruption,
You're wrong about my pain.
So many nights I've been abandoned,
betrayed by my own mind.
No matter how much I demanded,

A familiar "hello"
All dressed up in deceit, It's an instant attraction.
I glare down at my feet, what a nervous reaction.
She burns through my thoughts, I prepare for the worst.
My stomach in knots, I fumble my words.
I approach this with caution, for i've been here before.
And I haven't forgotten beauty lures me to war.
In a fiery trance I don't want it to show,
but averting my glance I dodge this hello.
I glare down at my feet, what a nervous reaction.
She burns through my thoughts, I prepare for the worst.
My stomach in knots, I fumble my words.
I approach this with caution, for i've been here before.
And I haven't forgotten beauty lures me to war.
In a fiery trance I don't want it to show,
but averting my glance I dodge this hello.
