My Morning BattleI look in the mirror,My Morning Battle8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Apply that last bit of eye make-up…
Twist the brush,
Swoop the glittery powder…
Standing back and smiling,
My reflection retorts….distorts…
I hear a hiss in my ear,
"Look at you, you love every person who talks to you... so pathetic…so naiive…so trusting…..such a fool."
I close my eyes tightly, I grip the edge of the counter, my knuckles white.
"Look at you, you don't know when to stop do you?.....so eager…so loving…so innocent…such a fool."
I bite my lip and refuse to look at h
True Love: A Painted Myth?Forgive me if I intrude,True Love: A Painted Myth?9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
If I'm a little bold,
I've always been a little odd,
From all that I've been told…
But something about the way you smile,
Something about the way you trust,
Good Lord, send me a soul to love,
And forget this useless lust…
So many tiring hours spent,
Looking for his name…
Trying to find a hint,
If he's still the same…
I could have been the secret girl,
Chosen at a whim,
I threw my heart at his chest,
But still, I did choose him…
I don't know what is real anymore,
My mind does war against me,
Somehow I must get the patience,
To tame the visions that taint me.
So please forg
I Am Your Clockwork DollLay me out on the table and open my eyes,I Am Your Clockwork Doll8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Peel back the skin and reveal my porcelain heart,
Like a clockwork doll, made in secret from the mountains,
A lock is encased in its center,
And the key was lost long ago…
Given to a man of a name I've never known…
You play music of the sweetest notes,
Stories of love and devoted trust…
Love I don't deserve…
Love I can only give away…
What a truthful night it has been for this doll,
Every heart spoke its truth,
And she nearly cried from her shock…
So much love and care,
From those she's never met…never known…
Her crystal blood flows freely now,

Beautiful LifeBeautiful Life:Beautiful Life8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Through all it's journey.
Many lose way.
For which they lay.
The thoughts of the mind.
End with time.
Though, this your life.
Of endless dreams.
Flow your way.
I am here to say.
Come to the bay.
This sunset is endless.
With time itself.
In others eyes,
May not see.
What they have at all.
But with one call,
I am here with you.
The one I love.
My marvelous Wife,
Beautiful Life.
StumblingI'm losing my truths,Stumbling8 months ago in Urban & Spoken Word More Like This
Stumbling
Searching for epiphanies
In the same old things
My rhymes are fading out,
Color slowly leaving
Seeing gray in everything
Wondering if this is grieving
The world is collapsing,
Afraid my art will flee
Losing hold of the thing
That really let me be me
The flow got disrupted,
Trickling
Waiting for it to pick up
Praying for a spring
Trying to remember
How hope got so far above
All of my will
Tied up with all my love
I promised you forever
So why can't I have right now?
I need to put my world
Back in place somehow.
PainPain is but a thing. It cometh to all of us but some of us can forget.Pain8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Pain is but a notion. It is what you let yourself feel when you wont feel anything else.
Pain is but a feeling in the flesh. A mere acceptance of a lack of anything else.
Pain is necessary.
Everyone gets hurt. Everyone feels the pain.
It's a step on each of our paths.
Pain is acceptance of loss.
Pain is necessary.
CircleYou find love at every cornerCircle8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
But life is no more than a circle
Once found, Then lost
Once remembered, Then forgotten
What goes around comes around
A knife piercing my back
Each time going deeper
More pain than the last
Walking forward, ending nowhere
Like climbing a mountain
With no summit
The moon is blinding
The sun is dimming
My circle has grown
With life more meaning
But still I see abyss
The darkness taking over
Now blind by sorrow
All I do is listen
What goes around comes around
The sounds of knives
Still piercing my back
No corners to run to
No love to be found
No corners to run to
No love to be found
CursedThis wretched curse, so fierce, so vile,Cursed8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
Has survived the seasons for the while,
And when shaken it stirs not,
When hunted it shant be caught,
Elusive as a fairy,
Though nothing close as merry.
Confusing, haunting,
Unwanted, daunting,
Harking at my chamber,
For life it is remainder,
Twisting body and mind,
Creating deafening and blind.
And here stands the mind of a Hatter,
Cursed with nothing left to shatter
And yet it still persists
Even the darkest of the midsts:
The midsts promised to never unfurl
For it taints the blood of those not churl.
The countdown has started,
The mind has departed
As illusions shall glisten

I wear them like a cloak
Hooded,
Hiding.
Peering silently out;
My eyes,
Crimson,
Swollen,
Filled with the tears
Of the past.
I wrap my cloak tighter
Like a fortress;
Walled,
Guarded.
Keeping me safe;
From the enemy
Of ..
Love.
The First ConcertThe outside air was thick and chillThe First Concert8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
The line was long, wrapped all around
Around the building in which we would enter
Awaiting to see the bands on the bill
Everyone crowding around us
The room was large, dark, filling up fast
Energy jolting from every which way
This special energy, would definitely last.
The first band comes on
No one knowing them by name
They were only "the opening band"
They didn't fit in and were really just lame.
Hatebreed came on, the room filled up once more,
With loudness, excitement, crowded from stage to door
Thrashing began, the pit opened up
Joy, pain, and music filled up everywhere.
One more came

a sleepless bed
a child stays awake
Worried for herself
worried for her family
worried for her mommy and daddy
The angered shouts spread to her room
She hugs her teddy bear tight
and wishes she didn'y have to choose
Her mommy says she loves her more than daddy
and says bad things about him
Daddy kisses another women
and tells her not to tell mommy
More yelling
A year passes
She doesn't like the new mommy,
daddy has chosen
She doesn't like the new daddy

New mommy asks to see the family picture
she drew
The new mommy wants to know why she's not in the picture
The little girl says

This Is When You Love Me BackTake me away from here;This Is When You Love Me Back8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
May I bask in the memory
Of a far off sun, and
Hide in the crooks of
Your smile?
I've been so cold without
Arms to feel around me.
And I've sold off my comfort,
For a chance in your mind.
You offer me so little,
As a consolation prize.
So take me away;
I deserve one moment
In your eyes.
MaelstromAs we see cold pictures in the skyMaelstrom8 months ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Tongues of fire fall again tonight
Breaking down all we make
Crushing us 'til we break
And we crawl to the edge of forever
Will you please give us another try
To break open the heavens tonight
Now I've fallen too far
So take me higher
I suffer from these scars
I can't decide how
To devote everything I am
They all watch me burn
Those hollow words I wrote
When will they all learn
To turn this fire into life
I feel this freezing fire
And now I so desire
To turn everything around
Why were you such a liar
Now I am in denial
I almost want to die here
As everything you said resounds
As we hea
AbscondWhen you are bornAbscond8 months ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
You are warned
Not to venture out
To explore the world's doubts
To conform to routine
So you abscond your soul
Trading gold for coal
True thoughts cower
Like a young flower
In the garden of society
As you grow old
You remain in the mold
Set out by strangers
Originality in danger
In a prison of clones.
And you dance with Death
Take your last breath
You realise life
Is to be lived with strife
So once you are gone
You can be free to move on.

to flyaway
I will give you hope,
to stop crying
I will give you all my love,
to stop your pain
Spread your wings and flyaway
escape your misery
You don't deserve this
Just forget the sweet and bitter
Hold on to love,
It will save you from this
Your wings are stained with lies from others
Forget the memories
The help is on the way.

Your inevitable shatter
I can hear it coming
The words that you fear to utter

That heart you pretend doesn't exist

Now in my hands
Our fate reluctantly rests
And here in my hands
My decisions are put to the test..

When i stare into the mirror
What do I see?
Is it really no one
When its just me?
Am I really alone?
When walking down the street
What do I see?
An image in the store glass
And its me,
Looking back at me.
Am I really alone?
When I curl up in my bed,
What do I see?
What do I feel,
When all have around me is just me?
Am I really alone?
Am I truly alone?
When I know, that
I will always have.. Me.
Chances AreYour idol makes mistakes,Chances Are8 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
They fail,
They mess up big time,
You favorite singer, actor, player, artist,
They're human like you.
My idols make mistakes,
I know it well,
They let me down just like a friend,
But unlike a friend,
They're too good to apologize to me.
Chances are,
We're putting our trust in the wrong place,
Believing in those that will let us down.
I Won't Exist...I sit here on a sunken bed,I Won't Exist...9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Surrounded by bright, meaningless colors,
The room itself numbed by patterns and details,
So many treasures,
So many "important" awards, trophies,
So many perfectly stacked books,
So many perfectly arranged pictures of a perfectly posing girl,
All of it means nothing, NOTHING!!!
And yet everything…
Every little freaking thing in this little freaking room,
Is a part, a piece, a puzzle,
Of my existence…All of this is me as I exist in their eyes….
Sometimes I just want to sweep my arm across the dresser,
Throw everything to the floor,
Watch the cheap perfume bottles shatter, sending hazy

An old wound, aggravated by time and fear,
Doubt, and hopelessness…
All I need is to hear your words again,
They were once the only ones that could comfort me…
Now, it's like I'm the hopeful child waiting for a miracle…
Why have you abandoned me so…
What reason will you claim, if you ever take notice again…
But I am afraid.
I am afraid of myself…
Because I know the longer I am confused,
The longer I am lost, broken, abandoned, forgotten,
The more resentful my blood becomes….
And the wound becomes infected with all the doubts,
All the worrying, the
The Bitter Nightmare/Too Heavy A BurdenRusted daggers flung from their tongues,The Bitter Nightmare/Too Heavy A Burden9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Deep, infected scars reopened,
Tear away the skin above my breast,
And witness my heart's weak thrum.
You, you have made it so,
You poisoned it with your truthful tonic,
Your tampered quotes and encrypted sneers,
Do not twine the needle deeper,
Fling your hair through the seeping blood,
Paint the canvas of my years,
Falling from the chasm's edge,
Releasing my mind from the bitter nightmare,
I watch the sun comb its way through the trees,
And struggle to stand against the bars of home,
My hands and feet chained, a dusty cloth between my teeth,
I wait for the warden's glance,
That moment

Clenched fists believing in ghostly strength,
Nails biting pinked crescents into my palms,
The anger stirs and tenses,
She gathers her energy from behind my eyes,
Tinting everything red and hazy….
My head tilts forward,
My eyes singe any unfaithful soul in my sight,
And I feel my teeth grind,
My voice carrying hateful, malicious words of revenge, retorting and twisting every misdirected phrase,
Clawing the air with electrifying negativity…
How dare he,
How dare he,
How DARE he say such things to my kin, my family…
Taking short, unfulfilling breaths,

To Kiss A GhostSlowly the drug pulls down my veins,To Kiss A Ghost9 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
Pulling my hand in purpled waters,
Dragging me down into a misty realm,
Of lavender smoke…
Landing in a chilled crystal lake,
The ripples lapping against my legs,
I lift my eyes and see someone…
A shadow of... someone…
He reaches out a hand to me and touches my neck,
With the other, pulls me closer…
It was like kissing a ghost,
He was there, and then... he wasn't…
I never met his true self,
But I knew him then, and only then…
My hair ruffled through his fingers,
Rough and red,
His skin was cool and fading,
Blissful blue…
I never knew what it was&#
