Poet Introduction
Draven Welch, that guy who can't word.
Finally, I know.
I gave you all I had
and you threw it on the floor
and stomped it away
and I can love no more
but then you picked up the peices
and you grabbed the glue
and you put it back together
and you pulled my close to you
and you held me in your arms
and again I felt whole
and you spoke to me
and happieness filled my soul
I know you need some time
but I feel your love again
you told me that you love me
and I felt it true within
all the words I wrote
all the pain I went through
it was worth it all
to finally...

No more bull shit
Your face consumes my thoughts
your words ring in my ears
I lie and deny
But what I want is clear
You lay down your knife
but I pick up mine
I have searched for so long
but love I can not find
You know what you want
why must you lie to me
I wasn't blind
I just chose not to see
Stop with the bull shit
Tell me the truth bitch
Leading me on with
your light so dimly lit
so I take another hit
And I take another sip
and I open another slit
don't throw a fucking fit
just ttake your seat and fucking sit...

It. Will. All. Be. Fine.
Before you read this, please know that this is to myself. I hope that none of you ever resort to hurting yourself. Stay strong.
Put a gon in your mouth
close your eyes
wrap your lips around the barrel
and end your demise
don't leave a note
leave without a trace
leave this world how you entered
as just another face
if they really loved you
the would be here to save you
Instead of using your own words
to enslave you
this is what they wanted
for you to be put to death
to suffer slowly
and take your own last...

Lie to me, baby
Tell me a lie
make me smile
baby, oh please don't cry
I've been thinking fkr a while
Is this really real
do you homestly love me?
do you have those feelings still
or is this pointless bleeding
I gave you it all
and you cast me aside
slowly I fall
you are my cyanide
you know to much
I'm to far in
on to life I clutch
it is happening again
if you don't want this
baby, please just let me go
add this to the list
And watch it all over flow
my blood
your lies
my tears
the drugs...

My life
I use
I abuse
I'm confused
I do not choose
I have to
because of you
it takes away the pain
and replaces it with emptieness
and it is all your fault
but I will never admit it
It makes me steal
it makes me cry
it calms me down
it gets me high
it is the reason
I'm alive
it is the thing
that gets me by
no one can know
no one can see
I do this for you
not for me
Without this
I would snap
I would lose you
we can't have that
this is not real
I can not feel

The fights
My tears have dried
my hands relax
all my thoughts
slowly come back
it's quiet now
we have all calmed down
I wait for the screams
but I hear no sound
I let my mouth slip
those words rolled out
it was barely a whisper
but it was heard so loud
another fight
I was pushed to far
I tried to calm down
but you pushed too hard
I wish I could tell you
everything on my mind
but it would never be the same
and we don't have that much time
I just need you to listen
not jist hear my words

I need to be alone..
I sit alone in my room
and cry over it all
it all comes at once
my breath is hard to draw
the initials on my arm
the problems at home
all my fucked up thoughts
that wait until I'm alone
they fall all at once
bringing me to the ground
my sight becomes blurry
and I cant' hear a sound
I can only hope
that no one can see
I must hide my pain
it is only for me
I do this to myself
It is of no fault but my own
I need someone ere with me
but I need to be alone
my anger brings hate
my hate...

I couldn't think of a title..
Raised in the south
but northern blood in my veins
I watch it seep from my scars
but I feel no pain
I slice white traces
caused by different faces
but only one in m mind now
her beauty makes me bow down
but her love brings me to my feet
and she brings my lips to hers
and I forget where I stand
and I forget about my scars
she grabs my hand for comfort
but he pulls her away
I am tired of the cheating
but I know she is my fate
I need her
so I can breathe
he takes her away
I am down on my knees
...

A word that means ordinary
average
nothing good
but nothing bad
nothing happy
but nothing sad
can be seen as anger
or depression
or worse
but is nothing
lack of emotion
a curse
you expect not the worst
nor the best
you expect life
and ignore the life
you think not of others
and not of yourself
not of famine
and not of health
not of loss
not of gain
not of peace
and not of pain
you do not hope
not for life
not for death
what is expected
is...

The cycle
My face goes numb
as I'm lying on the floor
waiting for my lifeline
to come walking through the door
and my door remains closed
blood is leaking from my nose
when in walks a young lady
in a dress and pantyhoes
she brings me to my feet
and wipes away my blood
and I move to her beat
leaving blood where I once stood
I lean in for the kiss
and my lips meet hers
perfect mental bliss
erasing all my scars
I lean in again
and she turns away
a hug to greet him
and I fall in her wake
I try to help...

The things you do.
This is nothing new
this is what you do
and I saw right through
But I know better now
and I'll say it proud
my heads out of the clouds
These lies bring hope
(it as all a lie;you can not deny)
These songs are how I cope
(it makes the cuts stop;it makes my heart drop)
you told me what I wanted to hear
I kept my mouth closed
My lips sealed by fear
I opened my heat
you knew from the start
-
how this would end
but you still let me bend
I bent over backwards
I broke my own spirit
the truth was...
