  the pen is my gun

     lies self-inflicted tragedy

Premium Member Dentist Named Dick

There once was a dentist named Dick
He inflicted pain with a kick
A patient named Fred
Was soon seeing red,
So he jumped down and ran out quick.

With spirit beaten and soul torn
The result of self-inflicted scorn
Any heart-beat of positivity, forlorn
Loss of peace of mind is what I mourn

Positive Change

You cannot correct yourself 
Unless you accept your mistakes 
When you are able to confront yourself 
To be liberated from self inflicted entanglement

Misunderstood

The fog set herself upon the town,
With the intention of leaving out soon.
But the destruction inflicted by the people,
Forced her to stay for eternity

Misunderstood

The fog set herself upon the town,
With the intention of leaving out soon.
But the destruction inflicted by the people,
Forced her to stay for eternity

Insanity

My self inflicted sanity,
has caused me more pain,
than the unwillingness of my insanity
to set me free.
trapped in a soulless world,
i wonder endlessly forever.

No searching

Bushfires are burning

Broken

Because i use to care so free

Reflections run too deep

Open scars inflicted me

Kept only for defeat

Ending dreams of what could be

No future could repeat

Premium Member Burning Coal

Bare soul deep pain
Burning like coals
Leaving an indelible mark on the heart
Overcome by the balm that heals
the wounds inflicted by lovesickness

Imperfect

Indented by harsh waves
Injured by cold sharp rocks
Inflicted by failures
Irate at injustice
I come to you naked
Indolent, extinguished
Illuminate me Lord

Beethoven's Fear

Silence attacking
from deep in the hall
Damage inflicted
the metronome stalled
Blood in the orchestra
harmony thrawn 
Melody slaughtered
— rhapsody gone

social reclusion 
             self inflicted exclusion 
                   all by delusion 
              conspiracy profusion 
         ~ there is no jab collusion ~

Path of Life

Path Of Life
Death is a path of life
death can be natural or inflicted
death can be gentle or painful
death can be slow or fast
death can be quick or lingering
death is the end or is it a new begining?

Until you listen to me

Talk will be empty I need

Time to heal from the wounds you've inflicted please

End the games you've been playing and 

Return to the warmth of a love renewed.

Premium Member You Choose Amnesia

you choose amnesia
self inflicted malady
I am the healer

term of endearment
now given to another
you try to forget

my fragrance lingers
love fights for recognition
sweet awakening
