Best Poems Written by Ashley Schneider

Paradise

Tear the pictures off the wall

Try to end it all

Hear the screaming down the hall

As paradises fall.

Redemption from this rage,

A battle up on stage

Like a lion in his cage

She is fazed.

Gazing to her mother,

She knows she never loved her.

Stab a knife into her father,

For raping his own daughter.

Burning fires through their hearts

This family's torn apart.

And there's nothing we can do

For Her, Him, Me or You

. . . We're confused.

One stands above a bridge

Sleeping, are her kids.

Drop a stone into the water

Her face is getting hotter.

Will she jump into her death?

Or turn around instead?

Her family sheds wet tears

For all the wasted years.

The boy kills all his dreams

For obliterating schemes

Using people, LET THEM HURT

Throw their feelings in the dirt.

A younger girl feels so alone.

She never had a home.

Some people hurt her deep.

That she can hardly speak.

Crimson is her blood.

A dripping endless love.

And paradises fall

Were they ever there at all??

There's no tears that we can weep.

So close your eyes and go to sleep.

In the morning we will rise.

With itchy blood shot eyes.

And we'll remember all this pain,

With only happiness to gain...

... We'll never be the same.

... We'll never be the same.
