Night

I take a drink and let my body die look around hear the people cry I wait till night to take a

 bite before I see the light  I will never go outside till night I am the creature of night, I will

 never die unless I see light I will never go outside till night I am the creature of night I will

 never grow old I am always cold take one look and you will know I am the creature of

 night, Turn your head and I will take a bite my fangs are sharp but they feel nice my eyes

 will hypnotize cause I am the creature of night, I hunger for your blood I hunger for your

 blood I am not looking for love I just hunger for your nice warm red blood let me taste

 your blood let me feel the warm flesh on your neck, With one bite you are mine with one

 bite you are hypnotized cause I am the creature of night.

Meet Emma

This is Emma she is seven years old she is not like all the other girls that

she knows when they were all busy playing horses she was busy playing 

with her two brothers, and when they would laugh and say Emma why

are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this way.

This is Emma she is ten years old she is not like all the other girls that

she knows when they were all busy wearing dresses she was busy 

playing detective, and when they would laugh and say Emma why

are you so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was 

born this way im not going to change. This is Emma she is thirteen

years old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were

all busy trying to fit in with the crowd she was proud to stand out  and when

they would laugh and say Emma why are you so strange? she would 

look at them and proudly say I was born this way im not going to change

im not looking for your approvel any way. This is Emma she is

sixteen years she is not like all the other girls that she knows when

they were all worried about prom she was writing poems all alone

in her room. And when they would laugh and say Emma why are you

so strange? she would look at them and proudly say I was born this

way im not going to change im not looking for your approvel any

way it is ok to be strange, This is Emma she is eighteen years 

old she is not like all the other girls that she knows when they were

leaving high school behind and wondering what to do with their life

Emma knew in the back of her mind that she wanted to write 

and being so strange was alright.

The Meadow

She lay there in the meadow on her back watching every thing go by so fast

nothing could get her out of this trance not even the sound of her childrens

laugh. She lay there in the meadow all drowned in tears wondering where

she would be in the next five years. She lay there on her back watching
 
the sky turn gray never will she see her children play. She lay there day by day

by day everyone she loved went away she turned old and gray then passed away

Blinded Society

The blind man on the streets doesnt 
have to see to know whats wrong 
with humanity he just

sits there listening to every ones 
ignorance. The anorexic stands  
there feeling her rib

cage because she is afriad to gain 
weight does she not see that hungry 
child trying to eat

off her plate. The drug addict is at 
home taking a hit but does he even 
know who is

watching his kid. The hooker on the 
streets is working hard for her 
money but does she

even know whos the father of her 
baby. Whats wrong with society 
when will they see this is

not the way life was meant to be.

Toxic

This toxic bottle sits in my hand this 

toxic bottle is my only friend,  this 

toxic bottle took away my life now

I am sleeping on the cold hard 

ground, this toxic bottle is eating 

away at my insides & ruining my 

mind but I can't seem to put it down 

& pick my self up off the ground.

Her Hell

You seem to have the perfect life you have the boy by your side you have created life 

but all you really do is cry  you wake up in the middle of night and realize he isn't by your 

side & you start to wonder why you deserve such a messed up life, You're the envy of all

of your friends but in reality you just want it all to end Every day you pretend your ok 

you cover up the bruises &  put a fake smile on your face you know you're a shameful

disgrace & you deserve it when he puts his fists in your face, You're sitting at home 

watching him shoot up again you've had enough of his hell you grab his keys run 

towards the door but he throws you to the floor just like all the other times before. You

go to your room begin to pray please God take this away i don't think i will live to see 

another day.

He Is a Waste

She closes her eyes trying not to cry she closes her eyes trying to hide from his 

anger she closes  her eyes trying to hide from him forever, She covers her bruises 

she covers her wounds she covers her face she knows she is his disgrace,

She is in pain she is ashamed she is alone she has nowhere to go she 

stays there watching him drink his life away she knows soon he will fade

away, she knows soon his life will end and her life will soon begin.
