The once happy times have vanished

Now only depression remains in its stead.

The smiles have faded

Now only anger flares, the color red.

The hugs are no longer there to comfort

Now only cold shoulders remain

The kind words are now absent

Now all that remains is pain.

 

Fed Up

Can’t hang on any longer
Been blown over the edge
Use to paint in colors
Now everything’s soaked in red

Canvas litters the floor
The curtains stand torn
Into the broken mirror I look blankly
Cursing the day I was born

I hate this passionless feeling
The absence of hope inside
Razorblade to wrist
It’s a good day to die…

 
 
Secrets hidden
            Deep within
Water boiling
           Over brim

No more theories 
           Only facts
Honest truth
            Something you lack

Friends no longer
            You’ve betrayed
I regret only
             All I gave

 
 
Is it wrong that I find a certain beauty in death?
Is it wrong that I can’t wait till my last breath?
Is it wrong that I Romanize the darkness,
And that I long for the night?
Is it wrong that I don’t fear damnation,
The nightmares or frights?
Is it wrong that hell strikes no fear within me,
Nor makes my heart skip a beat?
Is it wrong that death I wish to greet?
Is it wrong that I bow before the reaper,
And long for his touch?
Is it wrong that I hate life this much?


 
 
Burning
Slowly
Turning
Yearning
For escape from my dark twisted cell
Why did I ever voyage to hell?
 
 
Lost in thought,

pondering

all the choices

made,

distressed by many

reactions…

but the past can’t be

changed.

 
 
Every day’s the same,

nothing ever changes,

just repeats, again and again,

a continuous,

repeating circle

that comes and goes, comes and goes.

Like playing follow-the-leader,

marching to the beat of the same drum,

twenty-four/seven,

there’s no exit ramp to freedom,

just bumper-to-bumper traffic

we must follow always,

much as the hands of a clock

make one complete round after another;

we’re stuck in the constant round and round,

like the earth we rotate on our axis,

the sun and moon rise and fall,

up and down, up and down…

Every day’s the same,

nothing ever changes,

just repeats, again and again…
