Sink or Swim

Live to lie another day
die today and fade away
A drop of poison
sweet as honey
running down your throat
save the best for now
give up the task
give up and live a while longer
fight for your cause
fight and die!

There's a saying- sink or swim
you've got it all wrong
you gotta sink to survive
this life

To all you swimmers...
see you in the next life.

The Dreams Of Glory

You live a lie
from birth 'till the day you die
adding to it
to make yourself a name
No one belongs,
so why even bother?
We want it
the glory of it all
fills our inner dreams
and we work all our lives
to accomplish
what can not be done
We strive until we die
And become dreams
So long, and good night.

Fighting Back

People say you look alike
but that's all a lie
you can be
a mother or a father
a sibling
an uncle
the kid next door
the teacher or even the principle.

you claim we are weak
just because we don't
use our strength
because we act meek
because we have self control

We are strong
we just don't know it yet
we will rise up
we will defeat you

Running away from home
not going out doors
maybe even
quiting school
we'll do anything
to get away from you.

A parent who claims to love
as they bully and mock
a sibling that says its
"for your own good"
as they shove you
and punch you
A teacher that picks
on you because they know
you're having a bad day
A principle that wont
pay attention
or even worse
gives detentions
just for spite.

WE ARE TIRED OF YOUR BULL
we wont take it anymore

(make of it what you will)

The Bruises

Cuts and scrapes
decorate your pretty face
you laugh and evade my questions
you say you fell
on the way here
But what you don't know
is that I saw
the fist shaped bruise
I see all the bruises
But pretend they don't exist
in hopes that one day
they will go away
for good

But this has gone too far
They will pay for all the pain
I've seen you suffer
for every mark they put on you
They will suffer eternally

(Another common story)

Revenge

The colors fade to grey
the stab of pain
dulling to an ace
The price you pay
for the lives you take
The feel of blood
rushing down your throat
so hot it burns
your tongue

You feel the silver hilt
the decorated handle
of that little silver knife
lodged deep inside your chest
and laugh in a chocking way
'cause you bought that knife
for my birthday
A century ago
when I thought we were in love
Before you broke my heart

(Make of it what you will)

A Common Tale:When Saying No Changes Nothing

He told me it would be fun
He said it was a game
I wasn't sure,
but he took me anyway.

We went into the bathroom
when noone was looking
he locked the door behind me

Suddenly, I felt nervous and scared
My heart beat faster
I told him
"I changed my mind"
but he said it was too late and laughed

He unzipped himself
And did the same for me

He was my best friend
Now he's just another enemy

(This is a common enough story, though the details may differ. They All Said No. They Were All Ignored)

Confusion

The river or blood
The river of tears
The pain I suffer
The pressure of fears

The pain in my heart
as they grind me into the mud
The murmur of the gossipers
as they discuss
some made up lover
I never had

All I want is peace
All I want is to be left alone
All I want is for my dreams to come true
All of this
Is what I want,
Is that so bad?

I want to travel
I want to be free
I want to see the world,
and yet, I want nothing to do with it.
I am confused
That is all I really Know.

(something from a few years ago)

Raining Blood

The sky cries in blood
it paints the world around me red
each drop is painful pleasure
as it hits my flesh
the air is full of its metal smell
and oh! how salty-sweet
it is in my mouth

The sky cries red blood.

(another dream. Make of it what you will)

Hunted Down

Hot crimson blood
splatters on the cold concrete
A scream is heard,
it freezes the blood.

The girl runs
gasping for breath
She slows with every step
and knows she can not escape
but continues anyway

She runs from the Shadows of Light
The killers of her kind
But it's too late,
they know the end
of the hunt is near.


(Make of it what you will, its from a very realistic dream I had)
