No Longer
No longer facing a sheepNow faced by a howling wolf,Will you dare to look? Not weak at allNot under your thrallYour will is brokeYour pride made you choke. Forged in fireCast of steelBefore the fury fall and kneel.Else the fangs will bring you to heel. Iron will, never more to be broke.No matter the screamingDeaf Continue reading

Mask
Put on my mask, I’ll play for a while.I’ll do my best, to show a smile.Play my part, blend in with the crowdDraw no attention, let’s not be loud. A sickening feeling, the urge to blend in.The need to feel included, to hide what’s within.It’s nothing but a destructive thought.A way for peace to be Continue reading

In My Head
I get all wrapped up in my head.Filled with black thoughts, ones of being dead.But I struggle, determined to live instead. I hear so many words in my mind.None would be pleasant. Like chains, they bind.Don’t take a look, You will not like what you find. Trash, Worthless, and Useless are there.You’ll never be enough, Continue reading

I Chose
I chose to care, I chose to share.More than I should, more than most dare. It’s not been easy, realizing I’m close to you.It was unexpected, It came out of the blue. I planned to stay to myself.Care for my children said I didn’t need anything else. Yet I let you in, I don’t know Continue reading

A Friend
A friend my dear is all I’ll ever be.From now until the end of eternity. I feel more deeply than you’ll ever see.But I’ll hide it, for I know it will never be. I have nothing to offer, nothing to gain.Nothing of interest, I’m far too plain. With others, I’ve tried, yet always have failed.So Continue reading

Down the Rabbit Hole
Lonely thoughts in a lonely mind.Will happiness I ever find?Body weakened, soul destroyedFeeling like a useless toy.Caged in darkness hells black pitLife is nothing, just a cruel bitch.The mind a disaster, the soul a calamityThe only choice left, utter insanity. Continue reading

Howling
Like the moon shining in the night sky. I see you as you walk silently by. You turn your head, I turn a blind eye. Yet inside I wither, possibly die. Monstrous pain torments my soul. Sorrow my friend is balefully woe. As towards despair, my mind shall go No other way do I now Continue reading

Shadows
It creeps through the shadows drawing us near. Seeking to hold us closer, it’s touch will sear. It fills us with triumphant joy, But to it, we are naught but a toy. We seek the darkness, long for its embrace. Yet when we get it, too late, we’ve made a mistake. There is no going Continue reading

Sanity
Sanity departs in unexpected times. When things happen that can break your mind. We block out it, hide from the sight. As inside it grows, a festering blight. It eats at up, seeking every chance, To take out bodies, in a cruel dance. It echoes through the heart and soul. Waiting to send us into Continue reading

Better
They say it always gets better in the end. Yet I must ask a simple question, when? When do the feelings of heart ache ease. When is the pain inside at peace? When do I wake up without this bitter longing? Or without the loneliness I find so appalling? Is it when the tears no Continue reading
