A picture is worth a thousand words.
Everytime I look at pictures
Of you and I, I crack a smile & cry.
Instead of one thousand words
I've got thousands of tears.

The Crying Room

I excused myself from the table and ran to my crying room. The room in which I can sit quietly for just a moment to gather my tattered thoughts. The room where I can wrap my arms around myself as if someone gave a damn about me, giving myself a firm hug. The room where I can sob uncontrollably with snot running down Mixing, blending with the tears that roll down plump cheeks. The room where I can rock myself and hum a sweet tune To try to ground myself back down instead of floating up up up. When I left the table I knew that I wasn't in a good head space. The dam broke lose and the flood gates got stuck wide open. I sobbed as quietly as I could so no one could hear me. The lump in my throat kept getting bigger As my chest had a death grip as I breathed harder and faster. I could feel my skin become hot and prickly My fingernails turning white as I clenched my fists. I began a scalding hot bath so I could cleanse my mind of the dark thoughts that clouded it. My head slipped underneath the water and I screamed as loudly as I possibly could. A blood curdling scream that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up on end. I held my breath and closed my eyes tightly shut Hoping that death would finally find me and take me. I went to the room where dark thoughts could become reality.

Embracing the Light

Silence... Through your mind streams Pain... Nothing but delirium dreams Loss... The uncountable cost... Of who you were! Not who you are! A soul forged from fire and pain! Brighter than the brightest star! Everything! Is so different now! You can see you own way, You can your way out...! Embracing the truth, Embracing the light! Will take away forever, This endless night! And all your nightmares... Suddenly... You are so self aware... And you are scared... And although the past is still there, You know it, it follows you everywhere, You have the strength to stand firm, The strength to let loose your fire, The streng

Words...........

Speak with words so strong and clear Shout them loud so all can hear Words of strength and quality Guiding all humanity Contemplation, as we surely should Forgiveness, as we know we could Temptation, in a world of greed Simplicity, Gentle actions do we heed Trust, once lost but now is found Faith, we share on common ground, Hope, In days of clearer skies Clarity, in all the whats and whys There are no easy answers to questions we may ask To find the rhyme or reason Is not a simple task Stand by your true convictions In all that means so much Of Family and all friendship In the power of human touch To guide and pla

The Way Back Home

The Way Back Home It is so quiet... Inside of me, Where I hide... Haunting secrets... Held down, And so long denied... Will you be the one, Who sees me clearly? Will you be the one, Who loves me dearly...? I AM SCREAMING! Will you be the one, Who holds my head up high? Will you be the one, Who lives for me when I want to die? Will you be the one, Who is with me when I'm lost and alone? Will you be the one, Who shows me the way back home? I am a martyr... Pain brought to life... And the soul of despair... I look at faces in the light! And yours is the only one... That really seems to care! Will you be the one, Who s

Dollars be United.

We are united. - - - - - We live amongst regular civilians, in our regular attire, regular jobs, and almost regular daily life. What united us is that single message. That single call. That single e-mail. That single letter. That single password. That single website. That gathering of fates. Gathering of souls. - - - - - We are invisible. - - - - - Some of us came from the countryside, working hard, living a hand-to-mouth existence every day. Some of us are a bit better off, with enough money for some worldly entertainment and leisures, and supporting our own families. Some of us came here to study, and to be a bette

Invincible

I am a laborer of dreams and I'm building up a pyramid. The ghosts might try to kill me but I learned to always live with it. The fragile thoughts that draw you to the edge of your ill mind; Believe when I say that giving up would be a true crime. The only thing that you should do is plow ahead forward, No stepping back because I got your back and that's a foreword An introductory paragraph to what it means to me, when I have always told you that we are going to be:

Kingpin

I have recently learned that every man has his limit. There is only so much suffering you can endure, before you finally decide to snap. Some go crazy and make a fool of themselves, others sink deep into a dark place that no soul should venture. But a small percentage, experience a change. They realize that the world for all its ugliness, is still a garden; A garden of filth blossoms and fly traps, but a garden nonetheless. And what matters is that we harvest from this garden, until it can give us no more. For if we must be slaves to our torment, then I would prefer to endure--in style Now then, it seems the Mad King must get a new ident

Well, I miss you...

I miss you because I hold you so dearly You're mostly in my mind, but not because I worry But because I miss the gentle voice that inspired my poems The playful personality that cheered me up every moment Your adorable ways, that would always warm my heart How beautiful you are that you'd break the fourth wall Your difference between girls, being real, not a thought My heart was sad until here, you were brought Because every time I go to sleep I wish that you were here, laying down next to me Hopefully, you feel the same Because without you, I just can't stay sane

i will love you forever

I Will Love You Forever I love you so deeply, I love you so much, I love the sound of your voice And the way that we touch. I love your warm smile and your kind, thoughtful way, the joy that you bring to my life every day. I love you today as I have from the start, and I'll love you forever with all of my heart When I'm with you, eternity is a step away; my love continues to grow, with each passing day. This treasure of love, I cherish within my soul, how much I love you, you'll never really know. You bring a joy to my heart, I've never felt before, with each touch of your heart, I love you more and more. W

love is...

Love Is; Love is when you care more about someone else's happiness than your own, You would do anything for them, You'd rather be with them than anyone else in the world, You would die so they could live, When you lose them it feels like you lose yourself, They're the only thing you can ever think of, You never even dream of being with anyone else, because they're everything you want, They have many faults, but you're blind to them, You would take them back no matter what they do, When you're with them it's the happiest times of your life, but when you're without them it feels like there is this great big hole in you You always wa
