Sibling rivalry
When she giggles her sunshine curls bounce
She sings a little song as she walks by
Her dress in ruffles
Bow tied perfectly
She smiled gratefully to her elders as they pass
Then sneaks swiftly up the stairs
Tiptoeing to the last door in the hall
Nine year old hands turn the handle
Opening with a creek
Mommy is down stairs
The baby is unguarded
She peeks over the crib
Seeing bright blue eyes
“Hi Little sister”
She says with much despise
Blue eyes glimmer
Looking up at big sister
Oblivious to the odium contained
Nine year...

The Walls
The walls they say the secrets I wish noone to know.
Whispering the secrets I want them to hold .
The walls are cruel when they remind me
of the horrid life I have lived.
My room i’ve held for 17 years.
The walls don’t let me forget.
“The man who took your innocence;
when you were still innocent”
They whisper my secrets through the dark hours
The walls know every second,
but I want them to forget.
“The babysitter that played family.
Made you be mommy, and told you to bend over”
I hate what the walls know.
I hate the years they...
Whispering the secrets I want them to hold .
The walls are cruel when they remind me
of the horrid life I have lived.
My room i’ve held for 17 years.

A misguided shadow
Curs-ed Vine
A seed I was, a vine I grew,
A vine that met no light..
A vine whose limbs grew towards the moon, and through the dark of night..
The mother vine who brought me here has brought with it a plague..
This plague, this tomb, this world of darkness,
Still its’ meaning vague..
I slither up the mother vine, naďve of its’ dark curse..
I’ve wrapped my limbs around a trap, I journey to my hearse..
I take the course this vine has taken, hoping to find light..
But all I see’s the moon, the stars,
The darkness of the night.. ...

This Isn't Me.
I cannot stop.
Cannot stop the burning desire
As it climbs up my soul
Like ivy upon the sideboards
Of a house long abandoned.
I never wanted to be this girl.
This girl with no control,
Drowning in a river of self-imprisonment,
Simultaneously losing hope and ambition,
Giving up and giving in to the bottle.
This girl is not me.
Not me, no,
Yet as her knees give out it is my cheek
That slams against the cold, hard porcelain
Of the rest stop toilet.
I desperately search –
Search for a way out of this head
That...
Cannot stop the burning desire
As it climbs up my soul
Like ivy upon the sideboards
Of a house long abandoned.
I never wanted to be this girl.
This girl with no control,
Drowning in a river of self-imprisonment,
Simultaneously losing hope and ambition,
Giving up and giving in to the bottle.

That slams against the cold, hard porcelain
Of the rest stop toilet.

Just A Waste.
You go for my kiss,
but you do nothing but miss.
You think i'd go that low,
and have nothing left to show?
Can't you see I truly believe
that you're just fucking naive?
Why they let you breath
is beneath my belief.
To waste oxygen on you
just makes me fucking rue the day
that you came to be.
Why did they have to plea?
To keep a soul so crucially dull?
The mystery keeps me in undying agony.
but you do nothing but miss.
You think i'd go that low,
and have nothing left to show?
Can't you see I truly believe
that you're just fucking naive?
Why they let you breath
is beneath my belief.
To waste oxygen on you
just makes me fucking rue the day
that you came to be.
Why did they have to plea?
To keep a soul so crucially dull?

The Story of a Love gaurdian.
As he holds his arms around me,
the blood drips from our bodies.
He kisses me ever so gently,
as my breath starts to lighten.
"I'm not sure if i'm going to ma-"
he cut me off
"Shh love can get trough anything"
What if love was never here?
All an illusion between us.
I know I said I loved you,
it felt as it was mandatory.
I never said it in excess,
only when you said it first.
But now as i stand here,
I wonder,
Will i ever see love?
I was quickly answered as i lost control of myself.
My body went...
the blood drips from our bodies.
He kisses me ever so gently,
as my breath starts to lighten.
"I'm not sure if i'm going to ma-"
he cut me off
"Shh love can get trough anything"
What if love was never here?
All an illusion between us.

To "You"
I have never met you,
but I see you every night.
I have never seen you,
but you are the most gorgeous thing to me.
I have never heard your voice,
but it's the only thing that will ever sooth me.
I have never felt your skin to mine,
but the touch still completes me.
I have never witnessed your smile,
but I ensure I will give one in return.
I know this makes no sense to you,
I know this makes no sense to me,
but sense is something that I never truly seek.
but I see you every night.

The Love of f**king with Anothers Mind.<3
"Can you tell me why you got mad Ms.Ivy?" I reach up removing his clipboard from his hands."I'm sorry you can't do that there is confidential pape-" I cut him off.
"Confidential is just another way to say private correct?"I continued without letting him answer. Reminding myself to keep calm, and think before I let the words drift away from me."Private content is meant to be Private. Not to be shared unless that person is given permission. You reacted with a harsh tone when I took Your notes just as I reacted when My physiologic read my journal...

Chapter 1: Abandoned.
I felt bad after leaving her on the edge of the street, but to abandon her would only help the situation in the near future. She was completely capable of taking care of herself, and i would only slow her down in the end. I could tell she only felt as an embarrassment to the world around her, but soon she would realize she was much more than that. I did tho leave her in a place it would be hard to be found; foreign lands painted with graffiti. Her idol was from a place like this; her brother(Jacob). He never gave a spec of judgement to her. On occasion he would tho tell her to do better in a...

Snow Angel.
A pale face glistening in the window.
"It's snowing!"
The stars have sprinkled across the still sky;
as the snow has fallen to the frozen ground.
A young voice filled with joy.
"Mother may i go play?"
The pail face gets bundled up, and set a fly;
as the roads have filled with ice .
A child only dreaming of snow angles.
"MOMMY!"
The driver begs the car to miss the pink bundle.
As a car loses it tracks
A snow angel is sent to fly.
"It's snowing!"
The stars have sprinkled across the still sky;
as the snow has fallen to the frozen ground.
A young voice filled with joy.
"Mother may i go play?"
The pail face gets bundled up, and set a fly;
as the roads have filled with ice .
A child only dreaming of snow angles.
"MOMMY!"
The driver begs the car to miss the pink bundle.
As a car loses it tracks
A snow angel is sent to fly.

Dream.
I close my eyes, and scream,
As the darkness makes me bleed.
Everyday I wish to see,
To see this world dance, and sing.
That is but a dream.
A dream not to be seen.
lying among us yet to breath.
Am I the only one whom can see?
Whom can see this faded dream?
Close your eyes,and scream.
Do you see?
As the darkness makes me bleed.
Everyday I wish to see,
To see this world dance, and sing.
That is but a dream.
A dream not to be seen.
lying among us yet to breath.
Am I the only one whom can see?
Whom can see this faded dream?
Close your eyes,and scream.
Do you see?

Glued.
When i need to get away,
but my feet are firmly glued.
I turn up the music,
close my eyes,
and think of you.
but my feet are firmly glued.
I turn up the music,
close my eyes,
and think of you.
