Tiffany Demske Poem
Trapped in this world in this body not mine
I am stranded here on this earth alone
stuck in a shell that is not my own
Small is the world that has taken me in
here in my body, under my skin
Out of this pod, is my heart's pine
Swirling thoughts capsize my brain
they thrash and smash against these walls
until the mass of this body tumbles and falls
Trapped in this world in this evil flesh
where light and darkness have no room to mesh
in this body I sin, again and again

Tiffany Demske Poem
the night stretched on until dawn, sleep evaded my eyes,
I couldn't sleep not a wink, I just stared blankly to the skies.
then it hit in its purest form, boredom I could not overcome,
so there I was, all alone,
awake, while the world around me continued on
in a dream.
If only they could have seen my madness envelope me,
the black tarp became my angry ocean
my sleeping bag the only floatation for survival.
I had to fight to stay alive, fight to swim to the shore.
Humps of boulders dotted the stormy waters,
dodging them to save my life, and the embarrassment of waking
to find me slithering
about.
Oh if only they were awake while they were asleep,
they could have seen the winning play at home plate
and the amazing slide that won the game!
sky started to change from midnight blue to a magnificent white,
morning was coming, and the world still lay at rest.
the chill in the air turned to a warm breeze
and the birds began their morning whistle routine.
The sound of crickets faded and they sky was orange.
if only they were awake while they were asleep,
they could have heard my laughs of insanity.
too long had my eyes wondered and not reaped sleep,
too long had my brain worked without rest,
too long has it been since I have slept.
If only they were awake while they were asleep.
sleep...long overdue

Tiffany Demske Poem
Your lips should be burning, yet you smile in vain
Who are you really, I don't think I know
You have been full of lies since a long time ago
New doors of life open every single day
I am closing this one, and parting my own way
It is obvious to me now, though I kinda got it before
That what we thought was friendship was masked in lies...
and so much more
It's okay that I heard you, I am pretty glad I did
Now for once you were honest and ya did even know it kid
I heard the night of last ,your true thoughts about me
Truth I like, I can handle that
But you said it not to me, but behind my back
You thought I was gone, and had freedom of speech
My ears were there, within reach
Guiltliy you slammed shut the door,
after a gulp of uh oh
you spoke of it no more
Dang it! who you say your my friend
then turn around and blade me in the back
After an hour I came back to the room
My back still bleeding, yet you still sang a happy tune
Not knowing I knew, we chatted a bit
You poured on the burning alcohol with your concerned skit.
so many things in that moment I wanted to say,
But I held my tongue and just started to pray
relieve this girl her tention so dear
help her understand these words very clear
Honsesty is a force between friends
that binds them like glue from end to end
every lie, like hot water, dissolves some of that trust
then things said like last night, apart we bust
All I ever asked in my friendship with you
is to be honest and to be true
no matter the pain it may cause me so
the truth will set you free, and I needed to know
Ready to listen is all I have ever been
that door is closed now, my humble little Friend
These words are in anger, yes that may be true
but tired is my mind of trying to figure out you
It is not the first that your voice has been heard
For my ears have resounded every word
Gleefull and happy with me to my face
Then ridiculed and tarnished in every other place
the bitter sweet symphony plays in my heart
as two worlds fly vastly apart
new friends you will soon have in another, place another town
I will pray that honesty be replaced, you lying little clown

Tiffany Demske Poem
arg,
the life of a student doth do well
the jargins of homework feelith like hell
so big my brain, filled to the top
too much, too much, pop pop pop!!
save me! Oh this poor wreched soul
cast me away, I'll take the north pole
hell shan't find me out there
so cold and lonely nay a soul anywhere

Tiffany Demske Poem
again I sit in the seat of a student, back to being a kid.
back to the realities of life, in which I have hid.
again come the papers and exams
back to the all nighters and study crams
again set outside of this basic mold
back to the iron bars, secluded and cold
I am who I am, set outside of the box
my mind is my own, and my thoughts are unlocked

Tiffany Demske Poem
one color, one light, one Christ who cried
one way, one night, one Christ who died
I have been faced with questions from left to right
I have been faced with uncertainties day and night
How do I know if I am right or wrong
How can I tell if I belong
The days seem long but the nights feel never over,
The song of darkness casts my view
what to do, what to do
Questions invade every thought I contain
My shirt is salted by tears of confusion and pain
What will it take understand again
understand you, understand you

Tiffany Demske Poem
I don't like it when they fight, they've made it so long
they jump to conclusions, most of the time wrong
the yelling, the grumbling, a temporary craze
happiness will return, one of these days
the tension and build up can be cut with a knife
the lack of communication, between husband and wife
it means everything that they understand,
life doesn't happen upon an angry command
time and patients will see them through
to listen and pray, is the only thing I can do
but they will rise and find one another, someway
make ups after a fight, are always better...so they say
stay strong together, but let yourselves go
be one, be happy, always let each other know
the love that brought you together, is the glue that will keep
your love alive forever, plentiful and deep

Tiffany Demske Poem
An explosion of confusion
A mass of destruction
A penetrating problem that is what I am
The piece of poo that keeps floating to the top
The piercing ring
A monotone drop.
I am one with anger
I am one with despair
I am one with the liars who disappear down there.
The Bermuda triangle looks like a puppy next to me
I'm a wee bit repulsive
and a lot a bit naive.
I make people vomit
I eat my feet a lot
I itch like a wound beginning to clot.
Rip out your eyes
Curse from here to there
That is what happens when I walk in anywhere
An explosion of confusion
A mass of destruction
A penetrating problem that is what I am.

Tiffany Demske Poem
It pours from my soul, this wretched waste of me
It fills the emotional basin, where you used to be
Stop I say to you, but you need hear me not
For all the feelings are poured out, and in emptiness I rot
Come I say to you, but you need hear me not
Moving down the bristly path, amidst your boiling pot
Steam so thick my breath is sunk and to my lungs it clings
I climb from this pit of hell, but fall again with broken wings
Screams I hear, come from those who bare no will
Laughter ignites, the fires rise, and more begin to kill
Listen I say to you, but you need hear me not
It is because I listened to you, God, I have forgot.
