Shadowy MemoriesShadowy Memories

My past is a shadow,
It goes wherever I go
And when I die,
My shadow will dance
In the light of the world no more.

Digital CameraIn this digital screen
Is a picture of your face
You look so pretty and happy
Forever and always

I click the arrow over
And the camera shows a slide
It’s you and me together
But also that other guy

He always made me angry
I never liked him around
I screamed and fought with you
Which only brought us down

The photo changes again
But this time only us
We’re holding hands together
In the park out by the bus

I remember that night clearly
And the picture changed once more
It was like it was yesterday
That I found you on the floor

I screamed out your name
And tried to find my phone
But my hands were shaking badly
And I felt complet

Puzzle PiecesI don't want to be
a puzzle piece
that just fits right inside.

I don't want to be
a difficult piece
you make fit by pounding on.

What I want to be
is that one piece
that everyone misplaces.

That lone piece that's lost
under the couch
or between the cushions.

That strange piece that
everyone hates when lost,
but adores when found.

That simple piece that
everyone wants
and everyone searches for.

That perfect piece that,
when found,
completes the puzzle perfectly.

That independent piece that
can easily fit,
but doesn't want or need to.

That free piece that
will appear to you
only when it's fully ready.

That one piece that
will change ev

PulsateWhat is a heartbeat,
without the heart?
What is a dream,
without the conscience?
What is a word,
without the letters?
What is a hope,
without the faith?
What is a soul,
without the self?
What is a kiss,
without the love?

What am I,
without you?

MessEverywhere I go
Every single place
The troubles seem to grow
Every smiling face
Eventually frowns with woe

Why can't I do
Anything right
I just screw
Up everything despite
The happiness I try to spew

Is it me
Am I the source of this ache
Does the pain flow free
Is this what I make
People be?

Should I go away and hide
Never to see others
Or the outside
But would I stop another's
Pain and be the only one that ever cried

What is a life with no grey
When everyone is sad
I'd give it all away
It wouldn't be that bad
I would finally be able to say

I saved a life

Why I Write"Why I Write"

I tried to cover my darkest parts
With compound words and works of art
But no matter how much I change
My destiny will remain the same

Writing down elusive nightmares
Drawing monsters and evil to share
In the midst of the night during rain and hail
I found a way to release pain and exhale

I found a way so when I'm alone
To the eyes of others I can show
Hoping maybe to receive some compassion
For all the misery and woes that have happened

Isn't that why we paint?; isn't that why we write?
Trying to find solace in the air of the night
While others look on and may be amused
I continue confused; my soul has been bru

Because I Forget     Some broken hearts
  Will love again,
  Some fractured minds
Watch sun-rise, and mend,
  Some happy dreams
Are cherished by friends,

Because you have love,
You will triumph again

Some broken

ShardsThe dream shatters around me like a broken mirror.
Pieces of you surround me, but nothing seems to be clear.

I'm still cleaning up the mess you made.
You should have put down your fear,
You could have stayed.
I'm done chasing.
I've stopped running.
Have you even noticed that I'm walking the other way?

I'm cut by the shards of what's left of who you were.
Red tears stain the surface while the world is in a blur.

Better Left Unsaid.You'll be a lawyer-
I'll be a writer.
You'll probably make more money but-
At least we'll both be doing things we love.
And we'll live on a farm,
Just like you always wanted and...
I want to marry you-
I can't imagine myself with anyone else.
But you don't know that.
We'd both laugh if I told you.
So it's better left unsaid.
I can see us staying up late...
Watching kiddie movies and eating chocolate ice cream.
And having candle lit dates on our bedroom floor-
Taco Bell, of course.
And on winter evenings, we'll curl up on the couch...
With hot chocolate...
As I read aloud to you-
From a book of my choice, of course.
But you don't know this...
You'd think I was weird if I told you.
So it's better left unsaid.
And one day we'll pick out a huge chair.
A chair for cuddling.
And when I'm sad-
You'll hold me in our chair...
And we'll both stay real quiet,
Taking each other in.
And eventually we'll start to talk-
Quiet murmurs at first...
And eve

Humiliation"Humiliation"

If I exist to teach a lesson
Then that lesson is to overcome
Any hardship or desire
Always fight; never run
Never give in to others
Or let them think that they won
We are all capable of strength
We will never be outdone
If I exist to show you how
Listen to what I have to say
Always do the best you can
And one day you'll find your way
Some exist to show us reasons
Why things are the way they are
And though their time may be short
They'll help us uncover scars
Everyone has a purpose
Even if you don't know it yet
Your existence affects others
There are those I won't forget
No matter how real the pain
Or how s

Evening childWe’d sit on porch steps
Insecticide burning our lungs
Awkward and gangly attempting to grow into our limbs
You with freckles dusting your nose and I with a small dot on my cheek
You called it a beauty spot and I said god was too lazy to give me freckles

We were 15 and lust driven amnesiacs
Dissolving our flesh with cheap gin in your tree house
Throwing pebbles at the sky hoping to shatter it
We were an epidemic of the underdog prognosis
Playing encores to an audience of cowards

For some reason we’d always rush across rail way tracks
Metal bars quivering and our broken sneakers stumbling
We were branded in mistakes and embellis

We Are/You Aren'tWe are the unwanted, the broken
The ones you forgot about.
So don't be too surprised when we
Start to scream and shout.

We are the living, the dying
The ones you all put down.
But you'll know who we are when we
Run this goddamn town.

We are the corpses, the maggots
The ones you all despise.
But you'll be the ones scared when we
Expose all your lies.

We are the hunted, the lost
The ones you all spurn.
But you'll cry for our help when we
Leave you all to burn.

We are the losers, the winners
The ones that you deny.
But you'll be the ones damned when we
Hear the angels cry.

Love StinksWhen you are feeling sad
what's the sense in romantic songs?
Love is good, they say...
Did I learn it all wrong?

Heart is an attention whore,
love is a vanity game,
romantic stories are just lies -
Now cover your face, and hide the shame.

Forget the trifles and common sense,
remember this one thing:
No one cares about your feelings,
love is rotten and it stinks.

I am not a stereotypeSlide the blade across your wrist.
Again.
Again.
Again.
Stop.
"Doesn't it hurt?"
I can't feel anything.
"A little."

Punch your own stomach.
Harder.
Harder.
Does it hurt yet?
Yes.
Keep going.
"Why do you do that?"
The pain makes me feel alive.
"I don't know."

Stare.
Cry.
Scream.
Stop.
Keep staring.
"What's wrong with you?"
I'm dead inside.
"Nothing."

"Emotional freak."
I'm just depressed.
"Sorry."

Stare at your arms.
Your stomach.
Your waist.
Your thighs.
"What are you doing?"
I'm ugly.
"Never mind."

"Attention seeker."
I just have low self esteem.
"I'm sorry."

Cuts.
Scars.
Tears.
Emotions.

"Emo."
"Scene girl."
"Psycho."

I'm just human

A poem about loveLove consists out of pain
Love consists out of desire
Love is what I admire
Love always fights against my brain

Love is despising
Love is passion
Love is not a piece of fashion
Love is always surprising

None of these things are untrue
Love is enough to make one weep
That is love as it seems

Yet when I think of you
I simply can’t fall asleep
Since life is finally better, than in my own dreams

We All Fall DownFall to pieces.
Fall apart.
This isn't Tetris.
It's a deadly game.

One that begins,
with a fall-out.
One that ends,
not letting another begin.

Constant speed
while falling down.
Forever darker
as you descend.

Descend to Hell.
Descend to Dark.

Begging to find bottom.
Begging to crash.
Begging to die.

Sincerely, HurtDear body,
Can you try to be beautiful? I'd like to
smile in the mirror sometime.
Dear brain,
Stop overthinking everything. Let Heart
make some decisions.
Dear eyes,
Don't look into his. They'll draw you in
only to make you cry in the end.
Dear heart,
Hang in there. I'll find someone to put
you back together for good this time.

Sincerely,
Ugly, Stressed, Tattered,
and Broken.

Empty ScreamsWith wings of a butterflies,
her heart soared in the skies.

Through clouds and with birds,
her imagination went beyond our worlds.

Without thought of this Hell
her guard soon fell.

Vulnerable with hope pure
evil couldn't need more.

Swooping down with blackened eyes,
they had taken the greatest prize,

her love, hope, and dreams.
Now left her with only screams.

Turned to an empty shell,
she'd been kissed by Hell.

UnprovidableMy body desires
something I can't supply.

Screaming while its own
blood flows into puddles.
Begging as tears crash like
violent waves on the shoreline.
Forgiving as I cut
deeper and deeper in.

There's no stopping
what needs be done.
There's no fighting,
what can't be won.

With every second
it moves closer to
the end.
Falling back to the
nothing,
the unknown,
the Darkness.

Departing this world because
I couldn't render it with one thing.

A life.

Soul LifelessTears red.
Blood blue.

Wait what?

Breath gray.
Smoke clear.

Huh?

Body dead.
Soul lifeless.

Impossible! I'm right here.

Gravity repelling.
Body levitating.

No. . .

One soul,
hanging dead.
Thousands,
staring.

This can't be.

It is.

Me...

Normal HungerIs it normal
       to not eat more than once a day, always?
Is it normal
       to never eat above four hundred calories?
Is it normal
       to never eat at breakfast, lunch, dinner?
Is it normal
       to feel beautiful when my stomach starves?

Is it normal?
Is not eating normal?
Am I normal?

I Can't Write

by ~natirey7, Dec 29, 2012, 7:38:33 PM
Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I can't sleep.
Reality is a nightmare I can't escape.

I can't eat.
Food lost its flavor long ago.

I can't think.
Voices are too loud.

I can't breathe.
Air became toxic.

I can't live.
Life is no longer possible.
