Nobody sees, nobody feels
Nobody hears Him stomping through
My heart pounding to the moving heels
Love turn to hate, and lies made true
Reaching out, hand extended
Arm in agony, fully stretched
They see, they forget
Around my corps they marched
What is hell when life is pain?
What is the Devil when the mind is a cage?
The pages burn with righteous condemnation
I slice, dice and feed the rage
Nobody sees, nobody feels
Around my neck his grip tightens
I stare into the eyes, full of blasphemy
And into the void my soul is plunged

About this poem:
This describes how it feels for someone with chronic depression. From my end, my depression feels like a physical entity which I have been fighting against since I was 12. It is a fight I am alone in, and one I have nearly lost several times. I have nearly 100 poems which I have managed to type after writing, and this is my personal favourite

Motionless I lay
I cannot move awake I cannot close my eyes
Can not wink can not blink
Frozen am I
Can not feed
Can not cry
Locked in this body of mine
My brain lives it hasn,t died it talks to me move I have tried
Motionless I am awake locked in my own body unable to move
Can not talk or blink to tell how I feel
Locked in this body
Wanting to live
But feeling trapped I wish to no longer live
Life carries on no matter locked in my body
stiil able to think and hear talk but
I can't tell them how I feel
For I have no voice
Despair I feel trapped no hope let me die

Feet barely lingering on the hard wood floor
Weightlessness and freedom of thought
Wanting to take back all that was done
But knowing now she could not
So looking back at the scene that she left
The chair fallen down on its side
Rope burns circled round her neck
She couldn’t take it back, though she tried.

About this poem:
Sometimes a second thought before proceeding is a good idea.....My grandfather always reminded me to think before I opened my mouth, actions deserve an extra thoughts sometimes, too.

The tourniquet
strangling my giving life
of a hurt
does one
flee
to save
ones life
reckless movement
cowering
within
the mounds
a silence creeps
as babies sleep
thunder storms like opera
singing to
the depth
to gulp the winning notes
lick the blood
streaming from my life
but to sit
so serene
untying the ropes
knotted tightly
a volume of
bewilded strife
no secrete forest lays beyond
yet creeping roots
they lay
so hidden under the skin
to push the way
screams
of despair
rack wretched my bones
the quiet times
of crazy silent
homes
then let
a Sophia, to begin
to ner say
she never meant
to swim
Shes off!

Slowly I drift back to awareness
My head feels fuzzy, as if not a part of me
And it does not matter how hard I try
I cannot move, not even my fingers
‘Ahh, you’re finally back with us’
I have heard that voice before, somewhere
But try as I might I could not remember
‘You cannot move, the drugs take care of that’
Another voice that seemed familiar
‘Besides you are buried up to your neck in sand’
A third voice and I almost had it
Where had I heard those voices before?
When they walked into my view I knew
If I could have moved I would have been shaking with fear
These were the last three of a long line of women
Women I had beaten, raped and left for dead
I knew begging was of no use, yet I still begged
I realised I was halfway between low and high water mark
Tears were streaming down my face as I pleaded
Yet their faces remained stony, cold and hard
I could hear them behind me having a picnic
While low tide turned and crept up the beach
I screamed my pleas as the waves crashed over me
But all I heard over the waves was their cruel laughter
Wave after wave crashed over me prolonging my agony
Until the last wave that that did not retreat

Clouds of hate drifting across my peripheral vision
and the stench of unfaithfulness fills my nostrils.
Disgust rears it’s ugly head out of the gutter to peer
about. With every breath taken I can taste the despair
in the air. The utter loneliness screaming incessantly
in my ears, over and over it assails the senses, no hope!
No hope! No hope! Constantly every fibre of my being
is being brutally attacked. Can this be a dream or am I
in some sort of twisted reality? Where do I go from here?
Here where life is full of meaningless emptiness. Every
twist and turn brings me closer to facing myself, and that
is my biggest fear, to find out what I am really like.

A walk down the dark side
Post Comment
You look at me but you don’t see
Hiding in here is the real me
I smile and nod so pleasantly
Surely a gentleman, you think
But deep down inside of me
I hide a secret ever darkly
So warily it peeks about
Then calculates the chances
I’m not like the rest you see
You will never catch me
Take my time, stalk my prey
Then take it when it’s safe to
So many times in past I’ve gone
And satisfied all my urges
I glory in the power I have
To slap you down senseless
To bend your will to my will
The rape is just the icing
I’m too smart to leave a trace
That’s why you’ll never catch me
Forty eight wills I’ve bent
Forty eight I’ve raped
Now I’m looking for the next
My glorious forty ninth

About this poem:
Read about a serial rapist a while ago ... all the neighbours were so shocked because he seemed so nice and normal ... what beasts lurk beneath the surface

I've come upon horrible,
unbearable things,
My soul silent, speechless,
unable to sing,
My heart which once pounded,
so loud with her near,
Now only beats softly,
barely able to hear,
My ears were joyous
at the sound of one voice,
Now closed, shut off,
to all of the noise,
Eyes that marveled
at the sight of a girl,
Now can't stand the visions
of a cruel, twisted world,
All of my senses,
once so acute,
Gone stagnant,inoperable,
broken and mute.

In the open water am I
Alone, lost am I
Abandand
In the open ocean am I
Dark grey clouds above my head
Darkness aproaches
The gloom
Day fades
Alone am I
Trying to survive
Whales approach they swim by
Afraid I am i
The sun ,the blue sky gone, darkness has come
I tread water to try to keep a float cold am I
Sharks come
Oh lord am going to die

as the skeletons
fall out of the cupboard
spiders webs attached
the distraction
slowly crawls out
a web of lies
like leaches
your drained of all truth
sucked in with lies
like a snake
i swallowed everyone
now i spit them back
with venom
truth hurts
cutting you to the bone
as the skeletons come out
the inner shell off you
