breaking down
please..dont act like you care..
dont attempt to be my light
don't try to make all my pain go away..
don't try to tell me everything will be alright..
don't tell me to stay alive a little longer..
don't say what im doing to myself is stupid
don't pretend you've been where i am
you'll never understand..
no one will....
im alone in this world..
nobody to stand beside me..
nobody to share my pain and distress with
no true place to call home
no reason to be here
you didn't think anything would be this imperfect
were lost
we spend all our lives searching for ways to feel
ways to feel alive...
our heart beat isn't enough...
sometimes it requires self inflicted pain....
dont attempt to be my light

About this poem:
i wrote this today..
Undeserved and/or Undesired
Wishing to right a wrong you know nothing about
Living a life filled with self doubt
Knowing not for what you are punished each day
Wondering if God hears when you pray
Is like always walking with needles in you feet
Making you afraid to trust every person you meet
It makes your dreams tormented and bitter
And makes you a life long quitter
Love will forever evade you if you let it
You live quilty for a crime you never commit
You fail at every thing you try
And often you and others wonder why
You cant love and be love with ease
You can never live a life to please
A lonely existence is all you are ordained
Your miser will never be contained
Living a life filled with self doubt
Knowing not for what you are punished each day
Wondering if God hears when you pray
Is like always walking with needles in you feet
Making you afraid to trust every person you meet
It makes your dreams tormented and bitter
And makes you a life long quitter
Love will forever evade you if you let it
You live quilty for a crime you never commit
You fail at every thing you try
And often you and others wonder why
You cant love and be love with ease
You can never live a life to please
A lonely existence is all you are ordained
Your miser will never be contained

Great Storm of Helplessness
Dark swirling mass of clouds
Why have you come to enshroud
Twisting lives around somehow
Plying the river Styx with scow
Going somewhere very fast
Little reason in your path
Energy loosed in every direction
Such an angry act of destruction
Toss my world in a stormy sea
Watch helpless spirits flee
No courage remains unmoved
No purpose remains behooved
Rain of death fall down on me
And wash my body out to sea
Either way will I not survive?
Waiting for what faith arrives
Is there any hope that be?
When all seems lost inside of me
Why have you come to enshroud
Twisting lives around somehow
Plying the river Styx with scow
Going somewhere very fast
Little reason in your path
Energy loosed in every direction
Such an angry act of destruction
Toss my world in a stormy sea
Watch helpless spirits flee
No courage remains unmoved
No purpose remains behooved
Rain of death fall down on me
And wash my body out to sea
Either way will I not survive?
Waiting for what faith arrives
Is there any hope that be?
When all seems lost inside of me

About this poem:
Ok sometimes my feelings are a little drama(tic).... :)alone.
I'm walking....
I see kids playing....
Life is differnt.......
For someone like me.....
My pain is for nothing.....
My body is without a soul....
And my clothes are torn.......
Blood is mixed with the snow...
I can hear the laughing.........
I can tell they never missed me....
Never even wanted to know.....me....
I'm standing watching................
Tears spill and stain.................
As I walk alway sad...cold...and...Alone
I see kids playing....

About this poem:
something i wrote todaymorning
I dread morning's cruel light
and it's mocking creation of day.
I can hear it's whispers cry out to me
"It is time for you to face your reality,
for I have cast away the shadows
you have tried so desperately
to hide within."
and it's mocking creation of day.
I can hear it's whispers cry out to me
"It is time for you to face your reality,
for I have cast away the shadows
you have tried so desperately
to hide within."

About this poem:
something of how i felt lol
Memory Flash
'God bless' you cries the old man
And waves a weary wave
Old gnarly fingers
With cracked dirty nails
Slowly bends to pick up coins
Food there'll be tonight
And maybe more with bit of luck
A drink of cheap red wine
Shuffling off, a place in mind
A backward glance of setting sun
And memories buried of long ago
Come creeping to the front
The band it plays a welcome home
Uniform crisp, medals shine
Marching, marching home we are
And a ticker tape parade
He shakes his head and a tear falls
So long, so long, so long ago
Who remembers, who even cares
Of all the sacrifices
The head droops and memory fades
Replaced by present needs
Food there'll be tonight
And drink of cheap red wine
And waves a weary wave
Old gnarly fingers
With cracked dirty nails
Slowly bends to pick up coins
Food there'll be tonight
And maybe more with bit of luck
A drink of cheap red wine
Shuffling off, a place in mind
A backward glance of setting sun
And memories buried of long ago
Come creeping to the front
The band it plays a welcome home
Uniform crisp, medals shine
Marching, marching home we are
And a ticker tape parade
He shakes his head and a tear falls
So long, so long, so long ago
Who remembers, who even cares
Of all the sacrifices
The head droops and memory fades
Replaced by present needs
Food there'll be tonight
And drink of cheap red wine

About this poem:
Sometimes you need to write because you need to write because you NEED to writeHope is a Delusion
Child’s heart like apocrypha
Weaving like a widows web
This verse a coming apocalypse
Innocence a dead broken foetus
Life is only that of desolation
Blindfolded to eternity’s love
Worldly embrace to decay
Massacre of the soul’s entity
Transfusion of blood lies
Mystical hell on the horizon
A muted suspense coming forth
The beast a harbinger of death
Mephisto in endless nightmares
Icicles break off and splinter
Slicing into the skin’s reality
Distilled poison in a goblet
Newborn messiah cursing veins
Rays of black shine from the sun
Prayers of beauty echo aloud
Executioners axe in the distance
Tunnel of masochists arise
Clouds of fury fight the disciples
Declining incantation of trust
Bridged destiny and paranoia
Primrose path to whispered mutiny
Fantasy mounts a black stallion
Cursed lullabies before rigor mortis
Vortex of illusions consummate you
Ignorance consumes a dark mind
Sin erases your withered heart.

About this poem:
Was going through a pretty rough patchAngel of Sin
Angel of Sin (31-10-06)
Deep is the line that cuts
Listen to the prayers whispered
There is hatred for imagined existence
Angel of Sin you stand on the sunset
Lend me your wings
Forgive and forget
Massed choirs singing, screaming
Hold onto a heart let it bleed in your hand
Her wedding gown stained red
The deception black in eyes
Hell matches Heaven’s drum beat
Hollow it out
Grey rain clouds throw down their water
The feeling like lightning strike
Eternity’s love melts like snow
Night embraces the cold world
For she is the Angel of Sin
Her heart black
Fold out her diary’s secrets
She was a victim once
Held tight by the cutting vine
See her tortured by the pain
Bravely her head was held high
As it was detached from her body
Oh, Angel of Sin
You were more
A witch hunted
Your pentagram reversed
Broom set alight
A black cat growling
Hide in the depths of your dreams
One day break free
“Divinity’s creature
Became the Mirror of Sin”
Water fills her eyes as her end comes near
She’s dead but still has to journey to Hell
Angel of Sin go your way
I will go mine
Do not disturb anyone ever again
There will be no more night
Angel of Light
Have your way
Use the sun’s rays
No longer the Darkness
Help those who have sinned
Erase them
Deep is the line that cuts
Listen to the prayers whispered
There is hatred for imagined existence
Angel of Sin you stand on the sunset
Lend me your wings
Forgive and forget
Massed choirs singing, screaming
Hold onto a heart let it bleed in your hand
Her wedding gown stained red
The deception black in eyes
Hell matches Heaven’s drum beat
Hollow it out
Grey rain clouds throw down their water
The feeling like lightning strike
Eternity’s love melts like snow
Night embraces the cold world
For she is the Angel of Sin
Her heart black
Fold out her diary’s secrets
She was a victim once
Held tight by the cutting vine
See her tortured by the pain
Bravely her head was held high
As it was detached from her body
Oh, Angel of Sin
You were more
A witch hunted
Your pentagram reversed
Broom set alight
A black cat growling
Hide in the depths of your dreams
One day break free
“Divinity’s creature
Became the Mirror of Sin”
Water fills her eyes as her end comes near
She’s dead but still has to journey to Hell
Angel of Sin go your way
I will go mine
Do not disturb anyone ever again
There will be no more night
Angel of Light
Have your way
Use the sun’s rays
No longer the Darkness
Help those who have sinned
Erase them

I wrote this on my 18th birthday after my best friend and then bf ran off together.. tragic I know!!ETERNAL advances ??because it is a Hero !...
Your church expects that Last trumpet sounds..
When opponent will be like a flood
The Spirit of God will put him on the run ha ha
Fear not, the evil will flee from you ha ha
Forward Majestic in his chariot, he has
Because the chariots of the Lord in the thousands,
Thousands, thousands of thousands ha ha ..
The children of God are on the rise
The Church of God is awakening
Against the forces of darkness we will go
Every battle we win ha ha
With the power of the Holy Spirit
With the same power that he rose again
Who raised Jesus Christ from death
Everywhere overcome
Because God is beside us
Crushed beneath our feet devil and his angels
destroy it with the Power holy fire,
The works of devil, we will win over sin
In the name of Holy Jesus,
And that precious blood, we have the victory in Jesus we adore you With all our heart and we raise our hands to you .. and proclaim your Throne and reign over us for eternity ....
And your church expects that last trumpet sounds. ha ha

About this poem:
I was inspired by the last prophetic book of Revelation of the Holy BibleWhen Darkness Stood So Still
Sleepless nights filled with fright
Moonbeams into my room spill
And casts an eerie comfort light
When rising on my windowsill
Search for peace all my might
But empty dreams won’t fulfill
Deep sadness stunts like blight
The growth of peace so tranquil
Feeling so afraid of my plight
Tossing ‘round much time to kill
Hopelessness moves with delight
On this dark journey all uphill
Through long and restless night
My poor soul in agony so shrill
Wants only rest to feel alright
And warm up from entire chill
Unlike the silence of midnight
When darkness stood so still
Moonbeams into my room spill
And casts an eerie comfort light
When rising on my windowsill
Search for peace all my might
But empty dreams won’t fulfill
Deep sadness stunts like blight
The growth of peace so tranquil
Feeling so afraid of my plight
Tossing ‘round much time to kill
Hopelessness moves with delight
On this dark journey all uphill
Through long and restless night
My poor soul in agony so shrill
Wants only rest to feel alright
And warm up from entire chill
Unlike the silence of midnight
When darkness stood so still
