A Hug For Me
I watched her walk by
A friendly smile on her face
Handing hugs to everyone
And doing so with grace.
She passed me by but
What could I say?
She gave hugs to all
Except me on that day.
Where was my hug?!
I wanted to shout
Why do I remain
The only one left out.
Hug me, I'm lonely
I'm dying inside
You saw for yourself
Whenever I cried.
If you won't hug me
I'll take it from you
Maybe if I steal your arms
I can get a hug too.
I'll rip your arms off
Yes, that's right...
I'll do it when...
A friendly smile on her face
Handing hugs to everyone
And doing so with grace.
She passed me by but
What could I say?
She gave hugs to all
Except me on that day.
Where was my hug?!
I wanted to shout
Why do I remain
The only one left out.
Hug me, I'm lonely
I'm dying inside
You saw for yourself
Whenever I cried.
If you won't hug me
I'll take it from you
Maybe if I steal your arms
I can get a hug too.
I'll rip your arms off
Yes, that's right...
I'll do it when...

Lady Grey
You don't know who I am
I'm a Lady of Grey
Who can never love you
Doesn't matter what you say.
What are you doing?
Don't come closer
If you value your life
Keep away kind sir.
I can't accept your love
Please open your eyes
To approach my heat
Would be your own demise.
If I could break this cage
Trust me I would
But along with the roses
Thorns grew where I stood.
Men are always fooled
By anything that's pretty
When I see your love for me
All I feel is pity.
My thorns are drawing closer...
I'm a Lady of Grey
Who can never love you
Doesn't matter what you say.
What are you doing?
Don't come closer
If you value your life
Keep away kind sir.
I can't accept your love
Please open your eyes
To approach my heat
Would be your own demise.
If I could break this cage
Trust me I would
But along with the roses
Thorns grew where I stood.
Men are always fooled
By anything that's pretty
When I see your love for me
All I feel is pity.
My thorns are drawing closer...

Incomplete
Hope is a quick runner
How could I compete?
I think I'll stop chasing now
I'll remain incomplete.
Depression is a poor child
I couldn't bear to beat
I'll get used to it
I'll remain incomplete.
Trust tells me to fly
It's an impossible feat
My wings are broken
I'll remain incomplete.
Sorrow is a lonely friend
I never fail to greet
We sit together in silence
I'll remain incomplete.
Agony is my only Sun
Near unbearabled heat
Carried on my shoulders
I'll remain incomplete.
Happiness was a dream...
How could I compete?
I think I'll stop chasing now
I'll remain incomplete.
Depression is a poor child
I couldn't bear to beat
I'll get used to it
I'll remain incomplete.
Trust tells me to fly
It's an impossible feat
My wings are broken
I'll remain incomplete.
Sorrow is a lonely friend
I never fail to greet
We sit together in silence
I'll remain incomplete.
Agony is my only Sun
Near unbearabled heat
Carried on my shoulders
I'll remain incomplete.
Happiness was a dream...

Woman's Coin
The feeling of being loved
Something we both miss
How hard would you hit me
If I gave you a kiss?
We try to watch a movie
But all we do is talk
We try to get a drink
But all we do is walk.
Handling yourself so carelessly
Who do you think I am?
Revealing yourself to a lion
When you know you're the lamb.
You know I'm a girl
Who likes the same side of the coin
You know what I indulge in
Where I go, you can't join.
You can smile and accept it
Or spit and let your toes curl
But in the end I can't change...

Beauteous Male
Three days later...
I'm still recalling that.
When like a cliche Juliet,
I looked down on a Romeo.
Just briefly, I was stunned
Beauteous male...
Smooth skin, warm eyes
Solid build, tossed hair
And that open smile...
I stared, he stared back.
That has not happened.
But I felt as if
I could tell all my secrets
To that open, accepting person.
I have pride though
I won't fall before anyone.
So I turned away. Slowly.
He took a step away. Reluctantly.
When I looked back, his eyes met mine
It was a thirty second...
I'm still recalling that.

Lungs
An emptiness like no other
It settles down like steam
Deep within my lungs
Subtle as a dream.
An agony like no other
With the sharpness of spice
On the left side of my lungs
But it's as cold as ice.
A pressure like no other
Sets in like summer heat
On the right side of my lungs
Where life and death meet.
A loneliness like no other
Spreads out like rot
Through the rest of my lungs
Feels like a cure but it's not.
I'm really sorry but
This poem is interrupted
Isn't it obvious?
My lungs have been...
It settles down like steam
Deep within my lungs
Subtle as a dream.
An agony like no other
With the sharpness of spice
On the left side of my lungs
But it's as cold as ice.
A pressure like no other
Sets in like summer heat
On the right side of my lungs
Where life and death meet.
A loneliness like no other
Spreads out like rot
Through the rest of my lungs
Feels like a cure but it's not.
I'm really sorry but

Cry
Is it okay if I cry?
I always hold them back
Always controlling my eyes
Smile at everyone around
So they'll believe my lies.
But it doesn't last forever
Breaks when I'm alone
My sobs drag through
My skin, my flesh and bone.
I'm just so sad, so hurt
I give up the fight
You may think it's childish
But I cry almost every night.
I used to always ask
Whenever I couldn't keep it in
Because crying is weakness
And weakness is a sin.
Hurry, give me and answer
Before the tears fall by
Just one word is...
I always hold them back
Always controlling my eyes
Smile at everyone around
So they'll believe my lies.
But it doesn't last forever
Breaks when I'm alone
My sobs drag through
My skin, my flesh and bone.
I'm just so sad, so hurt
I give up the fight
You may think it's childish
But I cry almost every night.
I used to always ask
Whenever I couldn't keep it in
Because crying is weakness
And weakness is a sin.
Hurry, give me and answer
Before the tears fall by

DarkHeart
You might think I'm heartless
And I accept it like a compliment
But I want you to know, I have a heart
It's black and twisted but permanent.
I hate it when you say that
Because I'm similar to you
Even if you won't see it
I have humanity too.
I know the way you see me
Home of the empty DarkHeart
But I have insistent emotions
That would tear you apart.
I know it's hard to understand
I'm not asking you to
I just want you to notice
That I have feelings too.
I just wanted, I needed...
You know what, forget what...
And I accept it like a compliment
But I want you to know, I have a heart
It's black and twisted but permanent.
I hate it when you say that
Because I'm similar to you
Even if you won't see it
I have humanity too.
I know the way you see me
Home of the empty DarkHeart
But I have insistent emotions
That would tear you apart.
I know it's hard to understand

That I have feelings too.
I just wanted, I needed...
You know what, forget what...

Insanity Handicaps
I'm deaf
Unable to hear reality
But I can hear voices
Only from my fantasy.
I'm blind
Unable to open my eyes
But I can see monsters
No matter what size.
I'm mute
Unable to speak
But I can tell you horrors
Tell you where to seek.
I'm lame
Unable to walk
But I can fly
I have wings that stalk.
I'm handicapped
But I can do things
You have to be insane
Then you can do everything.
Unable to hear reality
But I can hear voices
Only from my fantasy.
I'm blind
Unable to open my eyes
But I can see monsters
No matter what size.
I'm mute
Unable to speak
But I can tell you horrors
Tell you where to seek.
I'm lame
Unable to walk
But I can fly
I have wings that stalk.
I'm handicapped
But I can do things
You have to be insane
Then you can do everything.

I'm Okay
"I'm okay."
Is that the truth?
I'm okay
I am okay
I. AM. OKAY.
Doesn't sound convincing.
After awhile
It means nothing.
You ask. I answer.
It's automatic.
You should know better.
Don't believe me.
Seventeen years.
I've never been okay.
I am never okay.
Don't trust it in anyone
Especially not me.
"I'm okay."
Is my best lie.
Is that the truth?

To Cut or Not To Cut
To cut or not to cut
That is the question...
My skin is shifting
Underneath, something stings
If I open slits in my back
Will I grow wings?
My blood is singing to me
A comforting lullaby
I'm just cutting a little
I'm not saying goodbye.
My mind convinces me
It's not that bad, right?
What a relief it'll be
Spilling my blood at night.
It would hurt others to know
Do they even care?
They won't stop me
They wouldn't dare.
To cut or not to cut
That is the question.
That is the question...
My skin is shifting
Underneath, something stings
If I open slits in my back
Will I grow wings?

Look Again
Look at that, my child
What do you see?
High heels and make up
A pretty Queen bee.
Look again, blind child
Look at her walk.
Ah, it's not as confident
As her fluent talk.
Observe her with your mind
Look at her sway.
It's trembling and weak
Someone has passed away.
Look at that again, my child
And what do you see?
I understand, mother...
I'm looking at me.
What do you see?
High heels and make up
A pretty Queen bee.
Look again, blind child
Look at her walk.
Ah, it's not as confident
As her fluent talk.
Observe her with your mind
Look at her sway.
It's trembling and weak
Someone has passed away.
Look at that again, my child
And what do you see?
I understand, mother...
I'm looking at me.
