An Epiphany On Days To Come

every day
is a new beginning

every night
is a definite end

every morning
while the rooster's crowing

every evening
is waiting to send

its dark to the sky
to blind my eyes

until light returns
when the sun ascends

Hurt

pain is not hurt
physical pain is comfort
just ask my leg 
or my arm 
or my stomach
I have gone numb
when you don't feel it anymore
when the physical pain 
just goes away
thats when you are hurt
that is when you have lost
it's hard to go back
from the point so low
you can look up no longer
and see any light
every hour is darkness
every day 
is like night
when tears stop coming
you are left without feeling
except for hurt
tears are relief
when you slice through your skin
but I don't cry anymore about that
I just hurt

Once Again

Oh regression and obsession
Such depression. Weren't you guessing?

That I'd fall back
Into this track

And become crazy once again

All the pain caused 
By my huge flaws
Its hard to pause 
Despair's jagged claws

Into my mind
And I always find

That I am crazy once again

This downward spiral's almost viral
Near suicidal and it's vital

Someone sees me
Someone saves me

From going crazy once again.

Your Call

I lay here in bed
and wait for your call
I lay here and die
but you won't call at all

The slip of the tongue
has turned you away
The truth in the lies
the edge starts to fray

You call less and less
and one day it's never
After the assurance
you'd love me forever

As my heart withers
and tears start to fall
I lay here in darkness
and wait for your call

My Art

Lying in darkness
losing my mind 
...but still attempting to retrieve it

my sanity
and i lay there with
the straight razor i jacked

from the high school art room
used to make things beautiful
this is my art

hold it to my skin
not too much pressure
not sure i want to regress yet

then decide, who cares?
just a little scratch
if they see, just lie with my eyes to the floor

yes they know they can tell
my eyes dart from floor to ceiling
ultimately telling the truth

and trying to save me
but when the scratches deepen
i can only save me

too deep and too many
they start to add up
the skin is like canvas

this is my art
such beautiful hues of red
and drying almost black

i keep regressing
and breaking promises 
and i still love you

but i love my art

The Wave

A small, white scar
a fading bruise
an upset stomach
nothing to lose
nothing to gain
alone and afraid
numb with pain
the feel of a cut
and a stab in the skin
the song listened to
and im crying again
to just get away
to some other place
so they won't look
at the look on my face
the smile, the frown
its all going down 
to the dark
to the death
and the wave at its crest
crashes down on my head
and the closing
the end
and its done

Fake

act happy for the crowd, hunny
don't let them see your pain, dear
cover up those cuts, you little wench
don't you dare tear up in front of them

never let them know the way you feel
even when your heart feels fit to burst
why would they even care
why would then want to put you first

so keep hiding the frown
the fake smile looks fine
laugh away the tears that want to fall
even though you gave it your all
and you feel so utterly small
keep your worthless self in line

Act happy for the crowd

Details | Sally Knox Poem

Only Sound

Only Sound
can enter your mind
and make you realize
the world around you

Only Noise
can make you wish
you had no perception
of what's happening to you

Only a Voice
can make you feel
like someone cares enough
to use it on you

Only Music
can make your soul dance
and forget for a second
the hell that surrounds you

What makes it so wonderful?
After all...its
Only
Sound

Waste

You were a waste of my sight

Every eyelid flutter 
would bring your image
I mistakenly compared so closely to perfection

You were a waste of my breath

Every "I love you" spoken 
weighs on my tongue
like a treacherous burden

You were a waste of my heart

Too many times you would make it wither
and be less whole
with each coming day

You were a waste of my tears

So many times I wept 
for you
and how you treated me

You were a waste of my honesty

I always let you know my evil truths
just to be maliciously deceived 
by your neverending lies

You were a waste of my suffering

You made me feel
pain
I never thought I could endure

But through all the suffering I discovered

Completely, undeniably, and irreversibly


You were a waste of my time

Details | Sally Knox Poem

Medicated

This relapse is pending
So go on and judge me
Still breaking and mending
Who you'd never want to be

Once happy, now sad
But it goes back again
Happy's the fad
Among judgmental men

This roller coaster
Of thoughts in my mind
All of you critics
Will be happy to find

Too many times jaded
The happy times faded
I'll go on and say it
I am medicated
