I have no family
No home
Yet I can fly
I have every will to keep me alive
But still
I'm crying a little inside
My mother
My Father
My aunt and my brother
Are all gone
I have no one to hold me back
I have nothing to keep me down
I am free to rise up
Or drown
And I'm crying a little inside
The thing is
I don't know why

It's my LifeWhen life tries to bring you downIt's my Life1 year ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
try to live it up and turn things around
because a smile gone into a frown
would turn the world like Topsy-turvy town.
As to a lot may have been strange
just like the meter on my car's gauge
I just want to let the people know
that life can't be dug by a hoe
and as human's, we have sins to atone.
A tall tale that's not yet said and done
is like a world that ran out of fun
wish that my friend's wouldn't run out of puns
and that guy weighed like a ton!
Heaven smiles upon the people who are positive
to those who think otherwise are negative
for their thoughts can either be diversive
or maybe it's

MonstersNovember stabs at my heartMonsters2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Ice cold fingers dig through me, searching and grabbing
stealing away my summer air
the demons of December eat what's left of me
digging through the scraps
snatching furiously at whatever's left
January comes and goes like a vulture
Scaring away the Holidays and taking what's left
I'm gasping for air, tears frozen on my face. Frostbite nipping at my nose, I hear
Desolation at my door
February, the ghost of winter
Haunting my corpse. Guarding what's left,
Cautiously scratching at the pieces
March is bipolar
Should I nibble what's left of this poor creature?
Or help her find her way?
March is bipolar. The lamb o

Love.
How can you tell?
You feel that?
A soft happiness coming from the depths of your heart.
Love.
Suddenly, a bullet hits.
Shattering glass hearts.
Broken dreams.
Pain.
Everything bleeds away.
Now you have nothing.
No life. No hope.
No love.
Nothing.
You are alone.
A cold, dark presence forms where the love once was.
What now?
Death.

Beautiful ContradictionOne of my favorite places to beBeautiful Contradiction2 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
Is also my worst fear
All the life I see
Is shadowed by the death here
The waves call me
Begging me forward
Into the sea
Only to drag me downward
What a beautiful contradiction
It's hard to tell the difference
Between death and life
Day and night
Sinking to the bottom
It was you, not them
Beauty turns to scars
Can't erase these marks
Save me from what I've done
Save me from the monster I've become
Swallowed by the ocean
I'm calm, I'm calm
My heart is broken
This is how I move on
It's better this way
I'm out of the picture
No longer causing you pain
Thinking of you now
A tear rises to t

The voice in the back of my head?

The shadows at the foot of my bed?
Maybe I'm just different,
In a way that no one can see.
You just don't understand,
What it's like being me.

The Sore Of A Deaf PoemAnother crumpled sheet thrown on the floor,The Sore Of A Deaf Poem1 year ago in Free Verse More Like This
Another shout, a thud, because she can't get rid of the sore,
The deaf poem of her broken heart is maybe too degraded,
She's not able to write it down, her soul is jaded,
The phrases of her life are burning on the inside,
A description about the moment when her dreams died,
It's smashing her heart and her tired mind.
From nowhere she hears a sardonic voice,
"- You're not able to hear the words anymore, in fact you never really did,
You have shed some scraps on pages, lies your soul to feed with",
She covered her ears, closed her eyes,
To stop hearing the demonic voice sh

You are strong.
You have your faults,
Don't get me wrong.
But please don't cut.
Please don't cry.
Instead of screaming,
Or begging to die,
Just think of this.
Think of your favorite person.
Or your true-love's kiss.

I want to forgetI don't want to remember,I want to forget3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
All I want to do is forget.
I know this will be with me forever,
I can still hear him saying, "This is what you get."
I was bad,
I didn't do what I was told.
I had to be punished,
But to him the punishment was getting old.
Hits,
Kicks,
Cuts,
Weren't doing the job anymore,
That's just my luck.
I still remember him forcing his self into my mouth,
I still remember how filthy I felt.
I remember how much he loved it,
I was in hell.
This happen more and more often,
I never wanted to do it,
I defied him,
So I was always beaten before he forced me.
I was a bad little girl,
I didn't listen to my daddy.

what about him?he cries, but no-one hears,what about him?6 months ago in Free Verse More Like This
they shelter themselves from his pain,
they think he's a nuisance,
they ignore his cries,
He screams, but no one hears,
but they still feel his cold breath as it hits them,
they don't care, they won't embrace him,
what if i were to cry?
what if i screamed?
they would care for me,
maybe only from pity,
but that would be better than nothing,
he has nothing,
no-one to care for him,
no-one to even pity him,
no-one.
his name?

I wouldn't have made an attempt anyways.
They screamed as soon as my friend guard entered the concert hall coliseum. I felt my body begin to tire as my trek neared its end. My fate lay ahead of me, willingly accepting my faults. I deserved no different. I would take this short but massive pain over a slow, growing kind any day. I coughed over my shoulder, where my old friend guard stood. He looked at me in scorn and spat at my

TodayThe gift of life today was to good for one to comprehend.Today2 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
But what if today was your last?
What if you didn't wake up and see tomorrow.
You'd die with regrets.
Never say goodbye.
Not even say you're sorry to the one you hurt.
What if you died today?
Would you have been happy? Upset?
Would you have been the one to kill yourself?
Would you die protecting someone else?
What would happen?
Remember to say your sorrys. Forgive.
Make people happy instead of sad.
You might never get to apologize or do the things you wanted to do.
Live every moment like it's your last because someday, it might just be.

Wander you far across lands, forest & desert sea
Or dream you deep in a cloudless sky ...
Yet a presence looms & beckons, spirits unseen
For they are the Djinn, silent and ever watching,
embalmed into seasons of mortal blood-flow
And beware, for I shalt not speak of this again,
lest darkness unto thy flesh they quest and sow
Eons adrift in smokeless fire did they slumber...
Befallen to Earth's domain, they undressed fate
The Djinn, ancient dwellers humans would fear
Betwixt worlds they linger, shimmering in fire
Thru parallel dimensions they reach, seducing
dreams and reality, life...

A few blue tears.
A lonely girl.
A few loud steps.
Someone's strong hand.
I turn to you.
You are lost, too.
You twine your fingers with my cold digits.
I look up at you as your love by a heart reveals.
I start to feel warmth from something,
In this Godforsaken, darkened tunnel.
We walk through this tunnel,
Hand in hand.
We guide ourselves through black,
Hand in hand.
We face hard obstacles,
Holding hands.
We search for the gold end,
Holding hands.
Then you start to fall and I can just watch.
I cry out to you as my vision by tears funnels.
I start to feel love for someone,
