I shout and scream, And cry and weep, And moan and yell, Out on the streets. Can't you hear it, My silent howls, My muffled shrieks, The sound is foul.
Eyes... Bruises.... Demons.... Blood..... Pain..... Flames.... Surrounding... Burning.. Faceless.... Faces... Escape. Need to get out. Wake up!Not real. Sure it was real. Fine.. Forget... Move on...
I raise the pen to paper; I set the switch to on In my mind my thoughts are churning; I can feel deep emotion It's twelve o'clock at night, the lights have all been hushed Outside my world is quiet,...
I’m pouring out my thoughts. Taking pen to the paper. Got that feeling inside of me. My emotions in danger. Mind is all clattered. A world of its own. Myriads of planets. Yet they float, each alone.
I knew today was going to be Bleak when I Looked out the window The same as any other, except Today I realised First it came gently It's like the first Look to an old acquaintance You hadn't seen...
The music blares, to drown out the thought, That all of my struggles, they were for nought. I can't believe that I fell for the trick they call life. All it has brought me is countless strife.
Are you afraid to go deep inside the corners of your mind. Do you fear what I will find. Are you scared and alone. This sanctuary isn't your own, tho Solitude it seems isn't your thing.
Why do I always have to say sorry Am I just nice Is it poisen in your mouth.
I am lost in my mind, sinister snake,. Swallowing me whole, it begins to take,. Sliding me Anxiety a bit of depression,. Infecting me with confusion no chance for retribution,.
I feel them sting my eyes As a lump starts to materialise Deep in my throat And my voice comes out as a croak.
If only the pain would go. So that I could feel normal. People passing by don't seem to notice. If only the pain would go. Returning me back to the way I was. I don't want to feel like this anymore.
A bringer of smiles, my charm beguiles A playful soul, that's me But deep inside, it's sad, I've cried Plain for all to see A raconteur, please listen sir, I hold court rather well But it's all fake,...
This is a fightback ...and a loss. That stupid moment ... is going to cost. My words to stall ...a gift in silence. Against this wall ...of defiance. The weight of words ...are my weapons.
There she was; searching for answers to questions without answers. Walking a broken road in life, tripping over ever stone, every hurdle, cutting herself on the broken glass from the telephone box.

Silent night hold me tight. Please stay by my side. There's nothing more I need in life than my favourite place to hide. You give me so much comfort. Everything I need.
It prowls inside of him, Lurking in the darkest places And hunting his heart. Rakes through his stomach And claws up his throat When he thinks he's okay.
Words spill out from me. A vocabulary lost, devoid of all meaning, The endless monologue will never explain; Revelations into the soul are pointless.
Obscure, like I am, Like words in an untouched book The pages unturned; A mystery unfurls. Speak not of my deeds, But yet of my faith Tears on a parched page Leaves as crisp as words.
I had tried to convince myself that by running away and changing my name and appearance that I was a different person. The truth was that I wasn't a different person.
I stumble through the dark, Causelessly, aimlessly, Without purpose or reason, Without a light to lead my way.
Soul lays empty,think of the past,. Wishing for things not meant to last,. Why can't you move on and focus on what's ahead,. Instead of sitting in misery and despair instead,.
A thousand eyes glare at me, A thousand hands push me down. A thousand lips scream obscenities But I don't hear a sound. Pulled in every direction, I can't handle anymore.
