Literature Text

Candy coated, sugared words;
Protruding from harsh red lines,
Forming lips, Full and round,
Sneering, now, ready to turn
Those sickly words,
Into something real.

And with her last,
Tingling lie,
So falls,
The now dying sky.

Oblivion

I want to know That all the things that I wonder, When I walk along the river bank, Are things that you dream of, with somebody else, I want to be sure, That when i show off, When I push myself into your eyes, That it's something you don't care to see, I want to believe that theres someone else, That fills the admittedly small space I've left, I touch the walls where we were, Hoping Grasping onto something, I wish wasnt real. Knowing as much as i deny it, I wish i would find you, Holding up that wall, Stopping oblivion.

Depression

This feeling, it pollutes my very core Leaving it rotted and tearing apart piece after piece. It is a black thing, corrupting everything it brushes against Leaving me in a will drained state. Depression; a tired rage or sadness No one has come to understand. A flash of pain follows every thought of family and friends, Leaving me with my head in my hands begging for an end. I have not a single word, not a flick of my tongue; That can even come close to describing how I feel. My whole body feels like it is cracking into pieces Planning to leave me as nothing more than a face smiling in a frame. I’ve turned all that I loved against m

Trickling Air

the Cloud Recliner - northwest in summer, gasps and sputters while watching its stuffing spill distilled water; overcast. and it thinks of Man, waiting to drink the air out of Cloud's kinks (the Earth moves) when condensation soaks floating vapor. no one is there to drown in Cloud's air that trickles sunward without a care, coating the damp, cramped Earth with its last breath. air ↗ ↘ Cumulus inhales ↖ ↙ water

I'm just a girl

I'm a girl Who honors friendship To the very last I'm a girl Who cares about family Old fashioned (I know) I'm a girl Who helps the needed Not just passes by I'm a girl That sounds Nice and kind But let's cut the bullshit And just be dead honest I won't say I love you Every now and then Won't smile When I'm not in the mood Can't laugh As if everything is Okay Can't lie To make you feel better So don't be surprised I'm just being open I'm not perfect As it might seem Not always happy Nor always sad I'm just like you Someone with burdens Resting on shoulders I'm a girl Who speaks out What's on the mind Who te

In Love With You

Your untamed soft hands touch me in ways I always crave for, Tease me in sweet ways I could never prepare for, Hold me in between like I am the only one, And always distract me unexpectedly when we kiss. I can feel your love in the movement of your lips, A total warm pleasantness as you cling to me. And maybe a small part of my mind actually registers the surprise, As your warm hands reach curiously for more. In sweetness your love blinds me, In my heart your love completes me, Come tomorrow I hope you'll still crave me, And oh, I think I'm in love with you, completely.

neglect

You can hurt me you can taunt me But please just don't ignore me You can snap my bones You can bruise my skin But don't pretend I'm not here IL sit and cry IL sit and bleed But I won't suffer your neglect Bitter tears cascade down my face As I sit and wait for your embrace I sit alone and wait Love slowly turning to hate

I once was a galaxy~ A Poem

I once was a galaxy, But then I fell from the sky, I landed on the ground, And I tried not to cry Everybody laughed, When they saw me they would scream, They said I was an alien, And a girl caught in her dreams A few Fridays later, There were no stars in my hair, There were no nebulas in my eyes, But I couldn't really care But one fateful day, Someone saw through my lies, They saw me through a telescope, Suddenly galaxies were in my eyes From that day forward, I never gave in, I would reach for the stars, And be the best galaxy I've ever been

Ocean

My home is a warm sea Of darting rainbow scales, Bright lights And pearly laughter. My father sent me to a cold ocean Of iron blue and slate grey, Sharp claws And brooding silence. "Find yourself in the emptiness, In the bleak, roaring surf, Daughter, And then return." I fell in love with a cold ocean, Traded my blood for salt, My bones For sand and seaweed.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

Insurrection

Insurrection Prologue The four tyrants stood over the hero's fallen figure. It had surprised them that he had put up such a fierce fight, but they had prevailed as they knew they would. The quartet were a motley group of villains the fallen hero had defeated in the past. All had been assumed dead, but they had revealed themselves to be alive and well years earlier. It had taken them until now to band together. The shortest of the four, a diminuitive Riptoc with fiery orange scales, emerald-green eyes and dressed in purple robes held his sceptre at the crumpled form's neck. He grinned revealing a row of sharp, pearly-white teeth. "Well Dr

Society Is Ugly.

Society is ugly. Not you. Beauty is defined by How you act. Not by the number on the Scale. Starving doesn't work. Purging doesn't work. Pills don't work. The girl you see In the mirror is Perfect Just the way she is Now. Don't get upset because You don't match up To the media's Expectations. Cutting won't work. Crying won't work. Dying won't work. Remember this: Society is ugly. Not you.

Jack in the Box

Jack springs out of its festive cage in the darkest corner of my bedroom, shaking off the cobwebs time and time again. Jack and I used to get along. I would reel that handle like I was using a meat grinder - showing a little resistance as I slowly cue Jack into the scene in the outside world of his circus prison. Laughs were shared... My innocence from childhood was buried in as shallow grave. Losing my smile was hard, but not as hard as finding a new one. I'm still looking. All this time, Jack is mocking me. Jack no longer needs a hand to get himself out of jail; Jack pops when he pleases and laughs, and laughs, and laughs. This i
