Finding a Voice

"I never travel without my diary, one should always have something sensational to read.." 
~Oscar Wilde, 1891

                                                       
Dear Diary,                                                                              April 6, 2011

I am a wandering writer.
New to the world; always a fighter.
Experiencing light and a world of mystique,
Places of normal, weird, and oblique.
I try to keep up with the world passing by
But I am falling behind the harder I try.
I feel like a new Helen Keller in ways.
In darkness and silence for each of my days.
Raising my voice yet not being heard,
I need to master the author's word.
With many thoughts and ideas that need to get out,
So I'll continue to scream and continue to shout.
I'll find a way in even if I must jump,
Because I too have to find, my own water pump....

Sincerely, 
Voiceless

The Little,Big Girl

She sits with the innocence of a twelve year old,
But of her likes, stories remain untold,
She smiles with a heart of gold,
Showing the very feelings she wants to grow cold,

So many silly thing does she despise,
But for such,her heart's desire doth rise,
Her friendship and affection does she price,
However,she opens her gates in friendship's stride,

She walks in resolute haste,
Allowing her little self marred in fragile paste,
She concludes discussions in a resolved state,
But confused,she consults at an unsettled rate,

In her mind surety's wind whirl,
Proving a world full of swell,
No matter how big the world in which she dwells,
She is still a little girl,

Not Actually Sure

Youth of Darkness
Excelling at life after hanging 
between heaven and hell…
Disproving the world of 
thoughts of innocence and 
naivety…
Hidden in her fabricated shell of 
silence…
The Darkness of Youth hides 
her true demeanor…known not 
by the world what she can be…
Sacrifice willing to be made for 
others…potential willing to be 
wasted…to save the innocents…
Foreign battlefields readily 
risked…to put her skills to the 
test…
Troubled companions...train for 
the dangers of her future…by 
helping each other instead of 
themselves…
She knows not what can be 
accomplished…if only she was 
revealed  to the one most 
deserving to know of all…her…
Her mind works above the 
capacity of her peers…but stays 
excusive to those

Your Memory

I am the sacrificial lamb
Upon the alter of the damned
Sit and watch me bleed 
Satisfy your needs
Droning your eyes
Twisted by your lies
You open up my veins
Release tormented rains
Upon earths self righteous Bain
This crimson covered innocence
Will cure the world of ignorance
You’re haunted by my desolate screams
Sheltered in your sadistic dreams
Another victim in the past 
Destroyed while you laughed
Defiled and laid to waste
I want you to remember me
Choking on your cold cruelty
This last picture of me
Is what the world will see
The pleasure you took in my inhalation
Avenged in exposing your monstrosity
Then in the pits of hell 
Where all you victims dwell
Trials of revenge
You cannot escape
We are here to punish you 
What heaven cant hell shall do
An eye for an eye 
Your penitence is due
They say were crazy 
We credit you
Down on your knees
Beg us for mercy
We stifle your pleas
Laugh as you curse me
You held our souls hostage for years 
Tormented by fate and dark fears
Now the tables have turned
Reap the torment you’ve earned
See your pride tattered on the floor
We’ll ruin all that you adore

Who

lost forever in a dream 
who are you to say I'm weak
you do not know my truth 
hidden from eyes and sent spinning through the tears
who are you to say I'm wrong
you're world has never touched the truth
you lie and cheat
who am I to try fitting in a world without my life
I have more strength than you imagined
I have more will to live
I have been broken
I have been shattered
don't give me your lies
your broken promises mean nothing now
I lost so much and you think it nothing
don't judge when you don't know truth
I am hidden in full view
stop your lying
stop your judging
forget what you know
it doesn't matter anymore
you aren't worth the time

Education Damnation

If only I could fly away,
Above the cities, beyond the bays;
To dance among the Northern Lights,
To scale glaciers of such might.

Might one day I also see,
Where in this world my place will be;
As I think it not here in this college,
With it's false opinions and daunting knowledge.

Knowledge which once I knew so well,
But from my prime I shook and fell;
In a world now so educated,
What once was so simple is now complicated.

Complicated beyond such wholesome trades,
Whose families now have split or are delayed;
A son will look down on his dad,
Respect all gone and joy now sad.

Sad is what a mother feels,
When at debts feet her daughter kneels;
Everyday we're told we're doomed,
By a darkness from which awe once loomed.

Now in this hall I glance around,
Seeing hollow success hence surround;
From the conventional I feel I must stray,
O God, please love and guide me on my way.


Hackers

Stay connected
Electric fusion
Electric chip
Reminiscing 
Buddies who are the Uber Gods
Reminiscing to those days
Stopped by the police
Piano concerto
Mum looks disappointed
New York City
Rolling with life
Empathising with others
Piano concerto
Sweet 16 as a criminal
I never regretted it a bit
Because now I know the truth
The truth behind the beginning of time
You outlandish fool
The new world has come
The world of the chip
The world of social media
The world where kids are Gods
Adults are just old news
You don’t believe me?
It has already happened
You can’t open your eyes
So here comes my own story
As an adult
You can’t stop me
Government power is over
You can’t stop us
We are one
You will not prevail 
Who?
That is for you to work out

Simple Question

So what its morning and the sky is clear?
The dark cloud in my mind still remains.
So what I give you a smile at your jokes?
 Its frozen by the invisible ice from my heart.
So what it's warm outside and laughter is all around?
The nightmare from the night before is giving me chills. 
So what my eyes are looking straight at you?
How do you know I'm not blind by my own painful memories?
So what I'm watching the world around and point out the beauty?
I'm looking at the thorns and pricks that makes my heart ache.
So what I'm in this spot and I look peaceful from your point of view?
You see a mask that I had put on this morning to hide from all of you.
So you wouldn't see the cloud that slithers about my mind, 
The ice that crawled across my lips, 
The quivers and shakes in the warm sun,
My blinded eyes that plays out my memories,
And the harsh world in its flowy gown.
What I see and what you see is two different things.
So why assume from the way I'm looking to figure who I am.
So what I'm stuck in a place with all these feelings?
So what I'm sitting here trying to scratch out the pain?
So what I'm laughing to cover up my silent screams?
So what I look so happy that there's nothing wrong with me to you?
So what? 
The response to it is to really know how to break this spell..
So..whats up?
