The Rain....

Sitting outside on my front porch listening to the rain pour down from above, like 
the angels sobbing from all the pain they suffer. Watching the world turn as if 
God himself is making the days slow down. As I watch the rain trickle down ooff 
the roof of my house, I wonder what you are doing at this very moment. Are you 
thinking of me, like I'm thinking of you now? Are you watching the rain, as I am; at 
this very moment? I wonder what you think of me. And I know your thoughts of me 
must be horrid. It must hurt to look at pictures of me, thinking of the sweet gitl you 
thought you had raised. But truthfully, I know that I am a hateful girl. I wonder how 
it feels to be dead. Buried underneath the soft dirt, bugs eating away the insides 
of the still carcass. I wonder what people would think of me once I am gone. A 
hateful girl, a liar, a whore. I wish I could change the way people view me now. 
But I know that I cannot. I can just sit underneath this porch and watch the rain 
pour down from the angels above. Wondering why their crying so much. 
KNowing that I have hurt everyone around me. And the tears the angels shed is 
nothing compared to the sobs my fmaily has cried. So, here I am alone 
wondering about death, while the rain comes down ever so hard. The wind is 
screaming through the air as if a million people are crying for help just like I am. 
Praying that all the pain that everyone has been through will quickyl subside, and 
everything will be normal again. As the rain quietly begins to slow down, my 
thoughts of death move to the back of my mind again. Only to come again when 
the rain returns.

A Young Girl

A young girl lost in a sea of people and an ocean of heartache. The confusion 
plaguing her troubled mind and poisoning heart with anger had finally flooded 
over her entire being. All she could think of was the hatred building up behind 
those deep blue eyes and that fictitious smile. Pretending all the while that she is 
content with the life she despises. Dancing outside the suicide room,  reluctant 
to enter. But running through the door of drugs, like a kid in a candy store. 
Desperately searching for an escape from the chaos dominating her life, but only 
finding temporary relief from her anguish. Everyday she waits patiently for 
someone to rescue her from the pain that is eating away at her insides. As each 
day passes by, she slowly loses her faith that she will ever escape. Night after 
night, she lays awake consuming more and more pills than the night before, 
praying for a way out. Years go by with no relief, and the young girl has lost all 
faith. As she lays awake for the last time, she smiles her fake smile, and flashes 
those deep blue eyes, and her prayer was finally answered with a simple pull of 
the trigger. She escaped.

Picture of Perfection

Perfect by nature, isn't that what you expected of me. In a world that was never 
real. You know that I've got you fooled. I never was, and I never will be. You've 
betrayed me. You've made me become this wreck of a person. Lost in your 
sense of worth. You expectations of me have failed. I'm no longer your picture of 
perfection. Just a mistake. Somewhere across the line you know you have failed  
me. Torturing me day by day, your eyes haunting me. Burning a hold through my 
dreams. They are watching every step that I take, every move that I make. As if I 
can feel them pulling me down. Pushing me beyond the point of submission, 
your slave. My wounds cry for revenge, but I am only denied. My hopes are 
crushed and I will forvever be your failed picture of perfection.

No One

tears are falling 
down my face
sobbing because
I am a disgrace
hateful and bitter
an angry whore
why would anyone
love me now?
no one understands
who I really am
everyone thinks
that I am damned
banished to hell
forever and ever
who will love me
no one; never

No-One At All

tears all over my face
running down my cheeks
with thoughts of despair in my mind

blood everywhere 
all over the floor
and in my hair

can't stop the cutting 
can't breathe at all
yet my thoughts still continue

I don't want the pain to end
just my life
because of myself

no-one to live for
no-one to stop the hurt
no-one to help me

no-one at all
