Kali Roberts Poem
The thunder rolls,
and the lightning strikes.
Will my life end tonight?
The rain falls,
and my blood drips.
I'm getting that feeling again,
that lightheaded feeling.
My eyes close,
and my heart stops.
My body gives-way
and I drop.
The movie plays,
in black-and-white.
My face turns pale,
where'd all my color go?
A faint beeping sound is heard,
muffled by sounds of people weeping.
Water hits my face,
but wait.
It's not water, it's tears.
Not even theirs... it's my own.
"Look. She's crying,
talk to her.
Bring her back!
Doctor! Doctor! Come quickly!
Why is she crying?"
"It's simple.
She can hear you,
she knows you're concerned,
but she can't do anything.
She wants to wake up,
she wants to be with you,
she can hear you.
But, all she can do is cry..."
"She's crying,
she's responsive!
Doctor! Doctor!
Wake her up!"
"I'm sorry dear.
But I can't.
Only she can...
I must go now, I'm being paged."
I'm not just dreaming,
I can hear this conversation,
I really can!
I love you all dearly, I truly do!
I'll shed one last tear, and when it's gone,
I will be too.
Down my cheek it rolls and drips off my chin.
I tried to wake up, but I can't.
So I guess I'll just give in.
The thunder rolls
and the lightning strikes.
One last beep is heard,
my life ended on this night.

Kali Roberts Poem
The monster inside of me is tearing me apart,
this monster is breaking me down.
Am I strong enough to fight?
Am I fallin' into this sound?
I'm so lost in this battle.
My heart and my mind, who will win?
The wind is blowing, a certain eerie way.
The leaves are flowing, so graciously in the wind.
There's so much running through my head.
I'm getting distracted, losing focus. Is this bad?
The monster is clawing at my back,
he's choking me out, I can't breathe now.
He looks like a shadow,
gives me chills like a ghost,
sounds like years of trapped pain and misery,
with the sweet kiss of death.
Silent is how he lurks,
a silhouette is all you'll ever see of him.
He makes my stomach turn,
and my heart beat fast.
The monster inside of me, is me.
And I'm making myself sick.
Why can't I just let myself be?
The monster inside of me, is you.
And it's making me tick.
I'm a time bomb,
waiting to explode.
Like tick, tick...

Kali Roberts Poem
Why, oh why, do you have to scream goodbye?
I know things are difficult,
I know I never had a chance.
But I truly do think that,
even though all the things we've been through,
that I may of fallen in love with you.
I know it's bad,
I know you don't even want to look at me.
But most of all,
I know.
I know all those feelings
couldn't of just gotten up, and walked away.
I know that you still have to have some feelings for me.
I just can't fathom the thought that you don't.
The reason I do bad things, is you.
The reason I cry, is you.
You don't know it...
but you've secretly destroyed my life.
You've destroyed my hope,
my love, my feeling, my conscience.
You've torn me apart.
Every last bone of mine is showing and my blood is gushing.
I'm tattered.
I'm lost and confused.
I'm waiting...
for you to leave and walk out of my life forever.
But I know I can't handle it...
I know I'll think about you everyday.
I wish things would be different.
Why, oh why, do you have to scream goodbye?

Kali Roberts Poem
I wish love was enough.
I thought it was enough, how stupid could I be?
But what I thought was love is now just a distant memory.
One that got the best of me.
It took away my thoughts, my days, and my nights.
Hell, a lot of the time it even took away my apitite.
I lost focus, sleep, and a good grip on the real world.
I was blinded from everything and protected by nothing.
For a while I was stupid enough to believe the lies my heart had told.
I thought your hugs said it all,
but now that I can recall, your kiss tasted like diaster.
Now that I've tamed my heart, my emotions are no longer my master.
I had always thought we'd be together one day in perfect harmony,
I realize now that all your words were just lies you fed to me.
I thought I was your 'Ride or Die' but now you call me a whore,
I don't even know who you are anymore.
I've been fed lie after lie- I'll call you out on every one, I'm not shy.
So you say you love me, what's your name again?
Why should I believe you, your credbility is a zero out of ten.
Don't act like I should feel sorry for you, because I don't.
If I'm the only thing in your pathetic life going right,
shouldn't you try to keep me happy with all your might?
I used to be blinded by the thought of forever, but now you've opened my eyes
up to see, I don't need you for me to be happy with me.
When we fought and I caved, I'd come back and cry "I'm sorry babe, I love you"
Now that I've finally caught you in your lies, you want to say "I'm sorry baby and I love you too"
I used to be blinded by your role,
but I pray for you now because sometimes wishing isn't enough to save a soul.
What I thought was love got the better part of me.
But now I'm glad that my heart has made me see
You messed up and I hope you know it; no one will ever love you like I thought I did.
Not even your own kid.
Yeah, I know my words hurt, but yours did too.
You lied everytime you said "I love you boo".
At least I'm the one here who has always confessed or told the truth,
I'm so sick of you now I just want to knock out your every single tooth.
I used to be blinded by love,
But now that I'm not, I'm as peaceful as a dove.
I hope these words hurt, and if they do it means I've done my job right.
I'm okay about losing you without a fight.
And to be honest? I'll sleep better from now on at night.

Kali Roberts Poem
You can see the depression,
the sleep deprivation,
the tears I've lost,
and the blood I've bled.
And yet,
you fail to see the pain,
and the strength,
you have given to me.
You can see the passion in my eyes,
you can tell the sound of hate in my voice.
Most of all you can see there's more,
more behind these simple eyes...
than you would ever think.
With every second that passes,
the more my heart will break.
In two, now four, then eight.
With every second that passes,
my hands shake,
my voice quakes,
my thoughts race.
I go blank, and I can no longer speak.
I used to know what a smile looked like.
I no longer do.
I know more of tears, and sadness.
Of pain, of drugs, of fire, of knives.
Once upon a time,
you helped me.
You no longer do.
One day I couldn't take it anymore.
I broke.
I wish I could remember what my smile looks like...

Kali Roberts Poem
My blood ran cold,
and so did my heart.
Tell me something;
Do you love me?
Will you always love me?
Do I love you?
The answer is no.
My blood ran cold,
and at that moment,
I knew something happened...
Mysoul left my body.
My heart stopped beating.
And I was forcefully taken from the world.
My body went limp.
Don't let this smile fool you,
don't let my eyes decieve you,
unless that's what you want.
Don't let what I say trick you,
I could've been gone 3 seconds ago, because this second you're reading,
the next one you're thinking, and this one you're finally reacting.
Yesterday you scared me,
I was so frightened; I blame myself.
I rushed to you,
I was terrified.
Tears filled my eyes.
You're stronger than that
I can't explain it.
I've already lost someone close to me,
I was afraid I was gonna loose you too...
The night ran dark,
and the air ran cold.
My body went numb,
and my mind went blank.
My needs started to change,
as the rain gradually fell.
Did I even want to go home?
No.
I never want to go back.
And one day?
I never will.
I promise.
One day I'll leave.
And never return.

Kali Roberts Poem
These sleeves, they hide it.
This smile? Yeah, it's fake.
These words? They compose lies.
That passion, you should know, it's all a hoax.
Do you believe me? Well, you should.
Do you trust me?
Why should I trust you?
I have a secret, and not a soul knows it.
Each day I come closer to my breaking point.
Every night when I lie down to sleep,
the angels claw at my feet.
Not a second I risk to doze.
The days get longer,
and my tolerence gets shorter.
Not a day goes by,
until a thousand things go wrong.
There's never a night I sleep,
without a nightmare behind these eyes,
and angels clawing at my feet.

Kali Roberts Poem
Everything may seem alright
At first
But truth is, it isn't.
You may think that things are fine
But behind these eyes
There are a whole lot of lies,
Deception,
Falseafication,
An unknown being
And over all a soulless person.
Behind these eyes you'll be tricked,
Among of which everyone is
And not only will you not see the person I am
But you'll see who you want me to be
You won't see that im just an image
Created by light and sound
Which may include emotions,
If thats what you truly want to see
What lies behind these brown eyes
Is deception,
Is a lie,
Is the truth,
Is what you want to see,
Is just
Not the real me.
Stick around and see
Maybe you'll like who I really am
Maybe not...
Your call
I'm not going to pretend anymore,
I'm tired of pretending.
This is me, you don't like it?
Then turn around and walk away.
Behind these eyes,
There will always be secrets.

Kali Roberts Poem
School small, but big ways,
Difference is as difference does
Same in and out
Change can change a changed man
Its up to you to hit the wall
And bounce back
Easy is as easy does it.
Do this, do that
Leave that there, pick this up.
Back and then Forth again,
Left and Right, Up or Down
Life is your decision,
so what direction will you take it in?
Change can change any changed person.

Kali Roberts Poem
Why is that?
Is it even probable?
Is that okay?
Is that ... normal?
Is it okay?
Are you okay?
Is THIS okay?
Is it sensible?
Is it right?
Are you okay?
I think I'm worried, should I be?
Are you worried?
Do you care anymore?
I feel like I'm going to faint, is that bad?
Are you going to faint?
Do or did you ever care?
Am I your friend anymore?
Do you care?
Are you okay?
Do I seem okay?
Do you think I care?
Did you win?
Did I win?
Did we win?
How are you feeling?
Do you still like me?
Are we friends?
I thought I felt something there, did you feel it?
Did we re-connect for point three seconds?
Are you going to keep ignoring me?
Are you okay?
Is that okay?
Is that ... normal?
Whats the problem?
Are you insane?
Do I even phase you?
Were you starign at me today in class?
Are you thinking about me?
Is it wrong of me to think about you?
I think I love you, is that bad?
Do you love me too?
Or am I just a fool?
Are you an idiot for breaking up with me?
Do you still like me?
Are you okay?
Am I okay?
Is THIS okay?
Is it even probable?
Did you win?
Did I win?
Did we win?
How are you feeling about this, as your eyes glance over the words?
Do you still like me?
Are we still friends?
Can I say hi to you, without you completely ignoring me?
Did we re-connect?
Are you EVER going to talk to me again?
How do you feel?
How should I feel?
How should THIS feel?
Is this ... normal?
Why is that?
Are you worried?
Whats the problem?
Do you like me?
Are we friends?
Am I okay?
Are you okay?
Do you think I can prove you wrong, or make you regretful?
Can I ultimately shut you out of my mind?
Will there ever be a time, when you don't matter to me?
Is it possible to even do so?
Can't you just disappear from my life?
But don't you think I'd miss you too much?
I think that I could prove you wrong, don't you?
Has anything ever been "normal"?
Are you okay?
Can I prove you wrong?
I think I could, so does everyone else, how about you?
Here's an idea, get out of my life, how do you think that sounds?
I think it sounds amazing, don't you?
