Graduation DayGraduation Day:

They told us we would be alright...

We had fought with honour and won our titles.

We had overcome trials together -

Watching dozens of our siblings fall in the line of duty.

For this they had promised us, a wondrous welcome;

A bountiful world of adventure, with a myriad of paths.

All this, they said, awaited us in the stone cities.

Large metropolises, where the working folk resided...

There were hundreds of us, who made that journey.

Walking miles across the scorching desert,

Clinging to a hope of the fortunes beyond.

Yet what awaited us was not a promised land -

Nor was it a life based on the merit we had earned.

You don't just die.Do you understand?
The blade against your wrist
Doesn't just slice your skin.
It cuts through others
Hearts
Souls
And sanity.

Do you understand?
You don't just kill yourself.
You kill everyone.
Everyone dies
Everyone cries
Everyone suffers
From YOUR goodbyes.

Do you understand?
You don't just die.
You take everyone down
With you.

They Called Her UglyThey called her ugly
and she screamed that she was beautiful
because that is what she believed
and They screamed twice as loud
and They left a small scar on her arm that was
big and red and bright
for all to see.

They called her ugly
and she yelled that she was beautiful
because that is what she thought she was
and They yelled three times as loud
and They left a bigger scar on her other arm that was
big and red and bright
for all to see.

They called her ugly
and she said that she was beautiful
because that is what she hoped
and They just said it louder
and They left a scar on face that was
big and red and bright
for all to see.

They call

I wish...I wish I was a monster
So I could be kind
And break the stereotypes.

I wish I was colored
So I could respect people
And break the stereotypes.

I wish I was a man
So I could be kind to women
And break the stereotypes.

I wish I had male friends
So we could all be..
Just friends
And break the stereotypes.

I wish I had autism
So I could prove that autism,
Does NOT mean "dumb".
And I could break the stereotypes.

I wish I could change the world.
But sometimes, you can't break a stereotype.

Only stereotypes, can break you.

Lingerhow can i move forward,
when the fingerprints of my insecurities
are still lingering within my chest,
pressing against my ribs like piano keys?
i am just waiting, for the day,
when the saddest parts of me
are overcome with songs of serenity.

Pretty Blue PillsPretty blue pills,
shiny in my palm,
the ticket to my peace,
to my eternal calm.

They're so perfectly round,
and soon they'll be in me.
The closest to perfect
that I'll ever be.

They go down so smooth.
Five, ten, fifteen and twenty.
Soon I'll be gone.
Twenty-five and Thirty.

That should be enough,
but I'll play it safe.
Thirty-five and forty.
Now I have no more to take.

The bottle is empty,
as empty as I feel.
None of this is happening,
too good to be real.

But soon I start to drift
into a dark unknown fog.
Somewhere quite distantly.
I hear a muffled sob.

But I blow it off as fake.
Nobody could possibly care.
I doubt anyone's noticed
th

ten ways this breakup isn't meant for the movies1.
you go out for twelve eggs and come back
with half a dozen and a new girlfriend.
you hold the eggs out to me like
six dead birds is enough of a peace offering.

2.
i push the eggs out of your hand and stay
with my hand over your heart as i watch them
fall. if they do not hit the ground, this is all a dream.

3.
the eggs smash on the tile and splatter
on the cherry wood cabinets, newly installed
that cost me two paychecks.

3.
the egg whites hit your leather shoes that
you’ve worn for two months straight
because you think they make you look more sophisticated.

3.
the egg whites hit the fridge halfway up, barely touching
the moose mag

PhantomWhen life
or fate
or whatever it is
that puts things together
and takes them apart...
when It
amputated you,
it left me
with a phantom
limb
and you are still attached
to my body
when I dance
and make love
alone

Dear friend,You have to understand, dear
The reason to why I run.
I run away from reality
From the lungs that cannot
Take anymore smoke
From the heart that threatens to
Stop...
I run away because
I'm a coward
Because I'm afraid of life
Afraid to care or love.
I'm afraid that every time
I'm glad it blows up in my face
And that every time I smile
I shed a million more tears.
That's why I run, dear
You have to understand.
I was destined to be a fighter but
I don't want to fight anymore.
I was destined to be a warrior
But how am I supposed to win when
The war I fight is against life itself?
I know that I always blow everything up but-
I keep stepping on mines, dear...
...I keep stepping on mines...

ellipsisshe goes to sleep
clawing at her chest with pinpoint accuracy
for an emptiness she can’t describe,
but hates all the same. tomorrow

she will write a letter: “dear boy,
i always wanted to be somebody’s
flowery poem, but the verses carved in my arms
are riddled with ugly clichés. & you are why

i don’t sleep through the night. if
we were a language, i was the
subordinating conjunction, you were

the punctuation.

i remember you in staccato
conclusions, solemn absences
of goodbye”

TearsI am not afraid to cry.

I am not afraid for you to see the tears

My tears.

Don’t tell me I have no heart.

Don’t tell me I have no soul.

For without them I could not cry.

You may not see my tears but they are there.

I have learned to let myself cry for the things I’ve loved,

For the things I’ve lost.

They are silent tears, but they are mine.

So let me cry.

Let me show you I have a heart.

Let the things that touch my heart be shown through my tears.

I am not afraid to cry.

Second ShadowThe hand on your shoulder
The whispers in your mind
The words on your tongue
The voice in your throat
And the feelings in your soul

To drive to madness
To seduce the insane
To draw the blood
And dull the senses
To plague the memories
Of damage done
To fake safe haven
As the character changes

Light the anger and fuel the rage
Another mind to feed
A second shadow
To take you into eternity

I'm a monsterWe all have little monsters in us
that whisper ugly words into our ears.
My soul is at war, it is a fight
between the human and the monster in me,
and I fear... that the monster will win.

The monster controls me...
it forces me to think the worst of others
and it tells me to isolate myself,
to protect myself from those evil humans.
The monster dictates my every move,
I must pretend that I am a human...
lest anyone think of me as a monster.

The human inside of me has long died
and the seemingly innocent person you see
is nothing but a disgusting monster
hiding in the body of another,
preying on the weaknesses -
the weaknesses of those fra

Remnants

Hold on to my sanity every single day
I’m not gonna fall.
Those hungry, greedy holes you left
They start calling.

Just like a cold-blooded murderer
You use every heart you can find
When will you ever be satisfied?

You destroy everything you build
and tear everyone you love
Just to die and start over again.
Replay, replay, replay...
Until you grow weaker, and weaker.

You never destroyed me.
I destroyed myself to forget you.
I die every day in an endless cycle,
The rotating remnants of revolting hearts.

Just like water, I choke and swallow.
I mirror your mind, your thoughts, and your desire
And just like Narcissus, you fall deeper and

Aura: The Revolution

Aura: The Revolution

I will never live up to any other expectations

I will only just reach the place in life that's destined

Never again will I be a victim of impossible outcomes

Never again will I allow my self-respect to be disgraced and overcome
-
I am a prisoner no more
Discrimination became the martyr

I had to put an end to this war
I will not be walked on like I had been before

The future of a fearless life is what I now strive for
The source of my resolve has been built into my core

I believe what's right / To live my life
I'll reach for the light / And shine so bright

There's no limit to the sky / This smile never felt so fine

Tired of my shattered heart...

I sit in my room
And cry for you..
I text you
And say..I miss you...

I guess I am selfish
I dont mean to be
I want you around
So I can feel free

You come around
Once in a while
And my heart is happy
Then...

Your gone the next day
And my heart shatters..
Again and again..
Yet I still smile,
When you come around

What do I do?
To make it feel okay
To smile on the inside...

Do I let you go?
Do I stay here?
Do I cry when you leave...
I miss you dear...

But I am tired of being
All alone..
For months by myself..
My heart shatters...

My heart is shatter
To the core
I guess it may be time
To close the door...

I loved

Maybe....just....maybe...Maybe...just maybe...
The memories will drown...
In this crimson rain
So maybe i'll find comfort
In this sweet pain

Maybe...just maybe...
I can be normal..
And not have to hide
Try to be formal

Maybe..just maybe...
You can smile for me
And I wont have to pretend
I'm not the thing you see

Maybe..just maybe...
I can let go
So you can be happy
And I can stop
living this life of woe

Maybe...just maybe..
I wont be so sad..
I wont be so tired
I wont turn mad..

Maybe...just maybe..
You can stop me
From going insane..
Stop me from cutting
From craving the pain..

Maybe just maybe
I could make you smile
And laugh...

Maybe.

Here I am...Here I am..
Bloody and broken
Bent to your will
Words never spoken..

Here I am..
Locked in this place
Forever frozen
In times endless space

Here I am..
With this fake smile
Painted and plastered
Its what I am now..

Here I am..
Empty and hollow
For all that once was
The future will follow

Here I am..
Watching the sun
For all that will be
Can never be done

Here I am..
Smiling on the outside
Crying on the in
Why do you think
This is a sin?

Here I am..
This is me
There is no one eles...
I would rather be.

Missing you...I dont know why..
I feel this way
As time goes by
The seasons change..

I cant help it but...
I miss you...
Its kinda scary..
To think like that..

But...
I miss you..

Does it scare you?...
It scares me..
To put my faith in someone..
To just talk to them..

I'm scared..
But...
I miss you...

I need to stop.
I need to act okay.
So then you wont freak out
And never talk to me again

But..
I guess...
I will just..
Keep on going..
And smiling..
but....

I keep on..

missing..

you...

I miss you...

To keep going?....Do you not hear it?
The broken heart that falls
Shattered to the ground..

Do you not see it?
The tears that pour
With the crimson river
That drowns her soul..

Do you not feel it?
The hurt that you caused..
The pain in her mind..
The lost that she feels..

Do you not hear it?
The quiet cries of her mind..
The voice behind her eyes..
She calls your name..

Do you not see it?
The whimpering pain..
Ths scars on her arms.
As she goes insane..

Do you care?
She tells you she loves you
She tells you she cares
She loves to help you
So you know she is there

She puts on her smile
And acts like she is okay
While it is hard to keep

When you're gone...Do you not hear it?
The hurt behind my laugh...
You come around every once in awhile...
But we stay on this continuous path..

You call me just when..
My love starts to fall..
And then I am back,
At the start of it all

I am addicted to this feeling
That plays in my head..
The one time you call me..
As I lay in my bed..

You tell me that you love me
That this is not a dream..
We sleep with the phone on.
To be close to eachother...

But now your gone again..
You disappeared..
And I am here to pick up
The pieces of my heart..

I smile in this empty house
And wait for you to come back
Because with all this madness
Loyality...

I am chained by you

Literature / Poetry / Emotional / Free Verse

I am bound to you..
I am chained by you..
I am stuck here
Alone....

I am hurting..
On the inside..
Can you feel my pain?
Do you hear me?
As I scream your name...

It hurts..
These chains dig into me
On the outside and in..
Stop pretending...

Stop pretending that
you love me..
Stop pretending that
you care...
Stop with all the
lying..
I know you will never
be there...

Let me go..
Set me free..
Unlock these chains..
That bound me....
