    Alone Again

    5 years ago

    My blue eyes fade to grey As memories just pass away. I glide through the times we've spent Even to the bitter end. Again and again I wish I was okay, But I know I'll miss you either way. I take my pain and take my hurt And walk away, tears...

    Words From An Addict

    5 years ago

    Addiction. What a cruel word. So taunting and crude, Yet so very true. A singular reason To stay out of the public eye. Weakness of the worst kind. The pain of love And the love of pain. A never-ending vicious cycle. Always putting me...

    The Song Of Life in Me

    5 years ago

    My heart beats as if creating the bass. My breath quickens as if keeping the pace. My feet moving to such a rhythmic sound. My mouth smiling as I lift off the ground. Moving my hips to the sullen sway Of the music calling my melodious name. ...

    We all know that when growing up, the adolescent years are tough. Apart from hormones going haywire and the time in life when we experience the most and either gain the most from those experiences or lose the most, we also try to define ourselves...

    The Fights Persist

    5 years ago

    Sitting alone again With my back against the wall. Thoughts restrain me, The bickering of them all. My mind grows hazy, While I beg and plead for sleep. They can always say "You sow what you reap." But how in hell do I Deserve to sit and...

    The Little Girl Inside

    Little Girl, I see you there, Crying in a corner to yourself. Little Girl, I see how they treat you, Like a piece of trash on the streets. Little Girl, I see how they've wronged you, Kicking you to the curb. Little Girl, I see you there, ...

    My Escape From My Prison

    Sitting in a small, dark cell, Thinking of my time in Hell. I wonder what I did this time. What sort of cruel, vicious crime I did to deserve my depressing fate. My mind is gone in a timeless state. My sanity left; my will eroded. My heart is...

    All The More, Forever More

    I've told my "Never again. No this will not happen ever again." But here I am, broken-hearted. Once again, Lonely and hurt. I open myself up and let them in. But all that happens is I'm defeated again. My heart is torn apart and it all hurts ...
