Confusion

Confusion
the word that's haunted me
since I was small.
Confusion
the word that fills every room
from wall to wall.
Confusion
the word that describes me
so very well.
Confusion
The word that leaves me lying
right where I fell.
Confusion
the word that fills every
single little thought.
Confusion
the word that engulfs me before
it can be caught.
Confusion
The word I can't understand why
it invades my mind.
Confusion
the word that I wish
could be kind.

Confusion in Creativity - Poem published by 9 years ago ()

Untitled

Onward she walked her face bleak as stone.
She uttered no words, her faint breathing had a lonely tone.
Her soul still thrived yet tattered and torn.
Her wrist dripped blood from the scratch of a thorn.
Then she awakened only to find.
T'was all but a dream played out in her mind.
Through her day she went with a fake smile.
Every footstep she took felt like a mile.
She falsely laughed with "dear friends" having the time of her life.
But when she got home, she searched for a knife.
She found it, a pencil and paper too.
Her letter began, "Dear mom and dad I love you".
Next she wrote out her funeral plan.
There she sat crying, blade in hand.
She signed it with "kisses" after her name.
Made sure to tell everyone "you're not to blame".
Upstairs she climbed her heart full of grief.
She hoped she could make it painless and brief.
Pills she dug out, one hundred seven.
She prayed to the Lord "please let me in heaven".
Each pill she swallowed without regret.
She slit her wrist deep and she was set.
She walked in her room and lay on the bed.
Later that day they found her there, dead.
She never expected anyone to cry.
But once word was spread, not one eye was dry.
More people cared than she eve Read more »

Solemn Raven

The bleakness of a sunless day.
The emptiness the numbing pain.
Drowning in a sea of sorrow.
Every eve I dread the morrow.
Melancholy tears withhold.
A painful story left untold.
A story of life so dreary.
My soul and mind so weak and weary.
Alone I feel for ever more.
The world is bitter to the core.
Thriving in the inky darkness.
Living in pure distress.
Pale as the haunting moonlight.
Erie as a silent night.
Solemn raven sits alone.
Solemn raven; my soul's clone.

China Doll

China Doll
Your bright eyes
The smile you plaster on
Day after day
China Doll
Why the facade?
The superficial grin does not relent
Your eyes are dull and dead
The silky skin
It breaks so easily
No crimson on your silk dress
China Doll
But wait!
The China Doll
Stares back from the glass
The China Doll
Is me

Next Time

The voices in my head tell me to do things
But I resist
They rell me to cut myself
No, I refuse to
They yell and scream at me all day long
But still I ignore them
They taunt and tease me
They will not go away
So I take the knife and make a small cut
The voices get quieter but they are still there
One more small cut, I tell myself
Then they will be gone forever
So I cut again, and again and once more
The blood runs bright red from my arms
The voices are gone now
I am at peace
But I know they will come again
Next time I will be strong
I will not listen to them next time

Cut to Control

In hope I cut
through the sorrow, through the pain I bleed
I cut and am easily addicted to my pain
it bleeds and feels good
I strive for more but I know I must not
but the precious thing I have power over
this one little thing
to copy the rich and famous
but not succeeding in dreams
my heart has been torn
just cut is all to let go and free
and cut all your pain
away

Suicide Cries

Someone just let me die
slit my wrists and hear me cry
in the darkness
leave me to parish forever in the sins
just give me a lobotomy
and leave me to faint
the stars twinkle in death as I wish i did
but there is no life within
the earth cries out in fear
no one will ever walk here again
the beauty is too much for our sick minds to handle
the black bleeds through each eyes
as light turns to grim
and dance the lifeless shadows into night and nothing
life is dead and down beneath
drowning in our sin
death eats us alive
as all eyes see horrible misery but can be done nothing
we all must live the darkness within

Nothing is Perfect

The perfect one
the one thing you want
the beautiful one
but you can never touch, can never have
stay within the velvet rope
you have restrictions on everything
the blood drains your face
your dreams will forever be shattered
the shadows then consume
the beauty of everything
take my perfect, take my soul too
what follows, you will want nothing to do with
your beauty is gone
nothing has meaning
and the sinking sand of fate
engulfs your ankles
as you dive into the face of death with no fear at all
you will no longer have anything to live this horrid life for
the hatred stings your open wounds
as you lick them dry
no one can say anything
no one will bring back your perfect,
beautiful

Lost Beneath

Down beneath the seas
down beneath the skies
down beneath all whispers
so you can hear my perfect cries
lost beneath the seas
lost beneath the skies
lost beneath all shame
I am seen dead in all eyes
looking in the truth to see what is real
lost in all the lies, you now know how I feel

No, You Can't

Definite pleasure is within nothing
no one will enjoy and no one can be happy
for I am not
what was within my reach was not touched
you cannot have anything
why must I suffer
when you are so joyous?
all must stop for I feel more pain from seeing you
I will never live
therefore we are all dead
