Illusion

I stood out in the rain
pieces of me dripped out of my eyes
as it stained

My skin with burning pain
never stopped
an out of control train
that crashes up in flames 

Smoke and fire spreading as I am standing
in the middle of this endless plain

Still watching as my good continues to battle
my evil with never ending rain

Hallucinating I'm starting to think a frown 
or a smile are one in the same...

School Yard Politics

In the school yard
I am a politician 
I am adding subtracting some sort of division 
Ladies check out my fresh foamposites I rock with precision 
Not the smartest my homework always needed a revision 
So don't copy my answers in class it needs more erudition 
I am on a mission to score a sweet shorty I am not worried about the competition 
Running the school yard is my ambition
Girls in the corner the boys staring like an exhibition
Their is a hierarchy everyone striving for that representation
As if their is an invisible partition
Cool vs lame concealed segregation 
An unremitting orientation 
Not keeping up with the style is unforgiven
Forever banished, extradition 
Tomorrow and the day after will be the same game, endless repetition

Wandering In Life

Lost in the turbulent waves of life
Crashing down on her soul
Perpetual sadness continues
To wash over losing control

Insatiable craving for love
Seems impossible to fill
Any form of attention 
Gives her a temporary thrill

Inflicting self destruction
Is her only form of control
So many of her secrets untold

Whispers of the past
Remind what she wants to forget
Blurs of memories play incessantly
Which Happen to only be regrets

Wondering if she can ever find resolution
And piece within get shattered heart
She wanders the world
Looking for any form of a start

Scared Love

She was like an ocean
He loved her waves
But was to afraid to swim

The Battle

Contemplating if it's possible 
For someone to love me
When I'm in a Relentless battle 
to love myself

Always been a wild free spirit
Full of dreams and purpose
When did self-destruction
become the target

Insecurities along with hesitation
Stole a part of who I was
Whispers incessantly reminding
Of past failures

Somewhere in my time line
I was broken
Memories too painful to recollect
were buried

An uncontrollable craving
For affection
Every time someone got too close 
I became a ghost

Many have attempted 
to heal my scars
Though only I can find
the cure

I'm A Beautiful Disaster surrounded
By internal chaos
A secret turmoil
hoping to find myself

Faceless Name

Crouched over in the shower

Last night's mascara dripping down the drain

As well as her innocence being washed away

Feeling she is the only one to blame


Blurs of what happened 

Haunted her mind

Trying to block images

Wishing to God she was now blind


REWIND... trying to fit in

at a party he took her to the side

Anxious butterflies filling her stomach

Oh how he lied

 

NO! she swore she yelled

It a thousand times

or was it her mind being deceitful

Maybe it was whispers she couldn't decide


He told her to grow up

Stop crying now

Biting her lip

blood trickled down


Her first time was robbed

Of the way she dreamt it would be

There was such damage

Such irreversibility


Each time he touched Her skin

having his way

She felt it was on fire 

Her mind went far away


Back in the shower

She felt powerless and Shame

Her wounds no longer showed

a lifetime scar, she was a faceless name

Victim

I am a victim of my 
own self convictions
Driven by relentless ambition

Always concealing
my despondency
Trained to be
imperturbable

My unremitting efforts 
throw me into chaos
A madness caused
only for self perfection

However there is such beauty 
in imperfections
Faults and flaws 
are unique and exquisite 
Unaccompanied by imitation

Time to unmask who I am 
and who I have been
For it must be removed
to expose the truth

Removing the facade 
like a fictitious ocean 
In the dessert
Only then true happiness
will replenish this once lost soul.

Lost In the Storm of Life

EXHAUSTE AND TIRED OF THE FIGHT
WHEN DID SHE BECOME SO LOST
 FORFEITING IN LIFE

SHE WORE A MASK TO CONCEAL
ALL OF THE PAIN SHE KEPT DEEP INSIDE
EACH OF THE MARKINGS ON HER SOUL
WERE UNIQUELY INSCRIBED

HER FAVORITE HOUR WAS
WHEN THE CLOCK HIT MIDNIGHT
EVEN SHADOWS OF HER SECRETS
COULD NOT BE DETECTED UNDER A STREET LIGHT

HER DELETERIOUS BEHAVIOR
WAS BEYOND HER CONTROL
HER ONCE WARM HEART FULL OF LOVE
WAS SLOWLY BECOMING GLACIAL AND COLD

YEARNING FOR GUIDANCE
ANYONE TO STOP THE INTERNAL BLEEDING
THAT WOULD SOON LEAVE HER LIFELESS
INEVITABLY DISAPPEARING

AN EVANESCENT MEMORY OF HER FACADE
WOULD BE ALL THAT REMAINED
THIS LOST SOUL WAS A STORM
NOTHING MORE THEN A SHORT LIVED HURRICANE

About To Expire

Do you think you could tell if a person was dying?
Would you stop everything to help them?
Fully obliging

What if the pain was impossible to see?
Not able to detect the suffering in her soul
Covered in debris

That girl, who walked the world only as a ghost
All her symptoms invisible to the human eye,
Her body, used only as a host

That girl whose wounds were so deep
Each day a piece of her vanished
Starved herself of love, surrendering to life,
Utterly famished

She may not necessarily be in a hospital,
Hooked up to wires
She's right next to you
Watching life’s clock, about to expire

How can you help her
If she already died
An empty shell is all that remains
The rest departed to the other side

Sleep Walking

From time to time
She wandered in solace
To a place only she could find

It was her demesne 
That only she had access
A quintessential paradox it became

Each moment she wished lasted a lifetime
Never wanting to leave
Awakening in her dreams was her favorite pastime

It was where the impossible
Was a part of her existence
A striking rose blooming in the snow 
Beauty almost blinding with brilliance

Though she was so enraptured in this dreamland 
She was sleepwalking through life 
Forever cursed eternally damned
