Ring Around the Rosie
"Ring around the rosie.
Pockets full of posies.
Ashes ashes, we all fall down. "
I stop singing and frown.
This child, now missing their tongue and eyes,
Must be dead, for there are no more cries.
Bored of this victim, I walk to the other.
I decide to kill her, the child's mother.
I lift the knife, slice to the right.
Swinging with all my might.
Her head falls, rolling on the floor.
Her blood spills. She died quickly, such a bore.
Can't change it now. What's done is done.
I clean my knife, staring at victim number twenty one. ...

I'm Done.
I thought I was better again.
I thought I'd left this sin.
All I had done was hide,
From the ugly truth inside.
I went to take some Tylenol for a headache.
Man, I just can't catch a break.
A little voice in my head,
"Take the whole bottle", it said.
"Why not add some tequila?
It would be good for ya. "
I grabbed the pill bottle, but only for a minute.
I set it down, refused to touch it.
All I could think was "why?"
So I sat down and started to cry.
After so long, I thought I was finally happy....

Happy Love Poem?
Why am I still here, you ask?
Well, explaining that is no simple task.
I can tell you one major reason was Michael.
I was in love from the first smile.
No, it wasn't romantic love I felt for him.
But it was love, and it filled my heart to the brim.
Holding his small hand in mine,
Watching how his eyes would shine.
Though he was my nephew, I loved him like he were my own son.
If not for him, who know's what I'd have done.
Two years later, he still lights up when he sees me.
He is still the most beautiful thing that I'll ever see.
I...

Hell.
I took a few too many.
It was an accident, maybe.
In one day, you should take only four.
I only took five more.
I go to bed, drowsy from the Vicodin.
Whoops! Knocked down the lamp again!
Everything went dark, but only for a minute.
I am dead, I'm sure of it.
Suddenly, there I am.
At the golden gates, when BAM!
God all mighty, standing right there.
Only thing He said was "you don't belong here."
Suicide is a major sin.
So Heavens guards won't let me in.
Down I fall, right through the ground!
The first thing I...

My Last Goodbye
I lay on the floor.
I can't stop watching the door.
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for.
Not until concentrate a little more.
The clock by the door says it's 3:46
Oh God, how can this be fixed?
Not now, no way can it be true.
I don't want to be found, not by you.
While I draw my last breath in,
I hear the door open.
The last words I'll ever speak,
I say to my brother, as I become weak.
That's it, this is the last thing I'll see.
It's my brothers terrified face when he sees me.
As my spirit leaves me.
I wonder what he...
I can't stop watching the door.
I'm not sure what I'm waiting for.

~
Though I'm smiling
I'm silently crying
Always hiding
Slowly dying
I'll attempt to hide
Can't show what's inside
Masks are worn for pride
While wounds are open wide
Your words cut into my skin
Pain seeping in
Enjoying this sweet sin
You just can't win
Because even if I die
Days will go by
And you'll ask yourself why
You never even saw me cry.
I'm silently crying
Always hiding
Slowly dying
I'll attempt to hide
Can't show what's inside
Masks are worn for pride
While wounds are open wide
Your words cut into my skin
Pain seeping in
Enjoying this sweet sin
You just can't win
Because even if I die
Days will go by
And you'll ask yourself why
You never even saw me cry.
