Wolf Men
Beware
The wolves
I repeat, I pray
The men craving innocent women
With a fragile conscience
No respect for themselves
I fault every inch of me
At the expense of empty love
Fake kisses and hugs
Sex with pressured hands and dirty hearts
Like a beaten doll
Once cuddled
Turned black to abuse
I’ve been shelved by wolves
And betrayed by the alpha
Beware
The wolves
I repeat, I pray
The men craving innocent women
With a fragile conscience
No respect for themselves
I fault every inch of me
At the expense of empty love
Fake kisses and hugs
Sex with pressured hands and dirty hearts
Like a beaten doll
Once cuddled
Turned black to abuse
I’ve been shelved by wolves
And betrayed by the alpha
Beware

Silenced
I should have listened when you whispered in my ear
"No one will believe you and you'll disappear"
I can't put away the fact that you touched me and got away with the act
So this is the way it is
I stay silenced and you get praised
I know you for what you really are and yet people still won't listen to my truth
You put your hands on me without my consent
I spill my story and it gets discredited by some lousy excuse of drinks
We both know I had nothing hard to drink
We both know you messed with my soda
Somehow you manged to fuck up...
"No one will believe you and you'll disappear"
I can't put away the fact that you touched me and got away with the act
So this is the way it is
I stay silenced and you get praised
I know you for what you really are and yet people still won't listen to my truth
You put your hands on me without my consent
I spill my story and it gets discredited by some lousy excuse of drinks
We both know I had nothing hard to drink
We both know you messed with my soda

Finding Angel
She said goodbye for the final time
All she wanted was to be loved
She won't be there
When they get home tonight
Finding Angel
I saw your smile was gone today
Was there nothing I could do?
You slowly faded from light to gray
Paler than a midnight moon
Finding Angel
We found you in your secret place
Deep in the darkened woods
The only place where you could be safe
And felt like you were good
Finding Angel
The note said you no longer loved
You couldn't take anymore
You...
All she wanted was to be loved
She won't be there
When they get home tonight
Finding Angel
I saw your smile was gone today
Was there nothing I could do?
You slowly faded from light to gray
Paler than a midnight moon
Finding Angel
We found you in your secret place
Deep in the darkened woods
The only place where you could be safe
And felt like you were good
Finding Angel
The note said you no longer loved
You couldn't take anymore
You...

I Bear the Scars
I bear the scars of my own ruination,
I conceal them behind laughter,
My hands gesticulating too fast,
Evidence of vulnerability blurred.
I bear the scars of becoming,
And of what became,
Dripping down pale limbs,
A warm psychotic rain.
I bear the scars of running,
Helter skelter through thorns,
Raging against hypodermic locust trees,
Entangled, ensnared and determined to be free.
I bear the scars of losing,
The dirt of the floor,
The excrement of the alley,
The ashes of Hell.
I bear the...
I conceal them behind laughter,

I bear the scars of becoming,

Helter skelter through thorns,

Entangled, ensnared and determined to be free.

GET A GRIP
Get a grip
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered
I yelled to you
Before you threw
Yourself at me
Get a grip
I silently tell
Protective hands
You bruised and battered

ECHOES
The backs of my hands
Know your balled-up anger
Better than the back (or inside)
Of my head
Thankfully,
Though their echoes
Won’t let me
Forget:
Everything I try to hold
Threatens to fall through
My weakened
Clasp.
Know your balled-up anger
Better than the back (or inside)

Thankfully,
Though their echoes
Won’t let me

Threatens to fall through

Me
Warn people I'm broken
My wounds are internal
Emotionally damaged
Mentally traumatized
My thoughts always scattered
Unable to focus
Wearing different masks
Careful what I reveal
Too complex for myself
Others should avoid me
I'm poison with no cure
Safer to keep distance
Expect nothing of me
Then I can't disappoint
My wounds are internal
Emotionally damaged
Mentally traumatized
My thoughts always scattered
Unable to focus
Wearing different masks
Careful what I reveal
Too complex for myself
Others should avoid me
I'm poison with no cure
Safer to keep distance
Expect nothing of me
Then I can't disappoint

Carrot Sticks
Carrots dangled before the eyes of an unwanted mule
Slowly but steadily he realizes he's no more a tool
All of those gratifying pats on the back at the end on the day
They simply don't make up for being used this way
So much trust was release before being lead
But without care, I was stalled and put to bed
No wipe down, brush down, or even any hay
Yet still my love and affection was expected to show every fucking day
The longer we continue, the longer the rows grow
It's getting harder to pull this fucking relationship with your love in...
Slowly but steadily he realizes he's no more a tool
All of those gratifying pats on the back at the end on the day
They simply don't make up for being used this way

No wipe down, brush down, or even any hay
Yet still my love and affection was expected to show every fucking day

Stripping you bare!
Why do you dare to step into my lair?
To be treated as my very own pet,
I’ve dreamt of seeing you bare,
Pulling on your golden hair,
Skin dripping with sweat.
Obeying my every command whilst asking yourself why?
You keep returning to this hell,
When it’s making you cry,
Mindlessly walking into my cell.
Because I’ve got a hold on you!
I’m in control of your strings,
You hadn’t even a clue,
I’d slowly been stripping you of your angelic wings.
To be treated as my very own pet,
I’ve dreamt of seeing you bare,
Pulling on your golden hair,
Skin dripping with sweat.
Obeying my every command whilst asking yourself why?
You keep returning to this hell,
When it’s making you cry,
Mindlessly walking into my cell.
Because I’ve got a hold on you!
I’m in control of your strings,
You hadn’t even a clue,
I’d slowly been stripping you of your angelic wings.

Stealing Me
no! Don't touch me!
I scream in my mind
why are you doing this?
I look up to you
you're my father figure
you're my protector
I don't understand
paralyzed by fear
I'm unable to move
I cannot scream
I choke on my voice
only I hear my cries
you fucking asshole!
this body is mine
you have no right
you heartless monster
you're stealing from me
damaging me forever
I want to run but can't
I want to claw you
I want you to hurt
no, I want you to die!
you don't deserve...
I scream in my mind
why are you doing this?
I look up to you
you're my father figure
you're my protector
I don't understand

only I hear my cries
you fucking asshole!
this body is mine
you have no right

you're stealing from me
damaging me forever
I want to run but can't
I want to claw you
I want you to hurt
no, I want you to die!

To Daddy
You were a killer.
Not in the usual, physical sense, no.
Your specialty was the sense of people.
Whom you'd slowly corrupt.
Like a spider you'd trap us,
In nets of lies and guilt.
You took my mentality,
And shattered it
Into a thousand pieces.
Everything you touched
Would slowly, but surely,
fall apart.
You made it clear.
It was my fault
that I couldn't love you back.
To this day, after seventeen years,
I'm still recollecting.
I still don't recognise
Who I am.
I no longer see you, ...
Not in the usual, physical sense, no.
Your specialty was the sense of people.
Whom you'd slowly corrupt.
Like a spider you'd trap us,
In nets of lies and guilt.
You took my mentality,
And shattered it
Into a thousand pieces.
Everything you touched
Would slowly, but surely,
fall apart.
You made it clear.
It was my fault
that I couldn't love you back.
To this day, after seventeen years,
I'm still recollecting.
I still don't recognise
Who I am.
I no longer see you, ...

You play me like a toy
You use me like a whore.
I think I must be wrong
You do it all again.
You talk about me with your friends
You agree I'm just a fool
I cry inside alone
I love you and smile pretending.
What the hell is this?
It's nobody's story.
You use me like a whore.
I think I must be wrong
You do it all again.
You talk about me with your friends
You agree I'm just a fool
I cry inside alone
I love you and smile pretending.
What the hell is this?
It's nobody's story.
