It seems that I make an appearence one here quite rarely- my apologies.
A bit too lazy to update you on everything going on, but I'll post a few parts of things I've written in the past few months.
Please note:
These are all written by me, don't claim credit nor post them to your site without mentioning/informing me. Thanks =)
One Step
One step forward then two steps back
Don’t know where I’m going or how I should act
Life’s so confusing- it’s all a big mess
Should I ask for more or just settle for less?
Something inside of me says that this is the start
Of a life that’s worth living that can heal my heart
A big dose of courage is what I’ll need
To stop my following and take the lead
I take one step forward and look straight ahead
No more going back is what they said
My foot inches back like I knew it would
But this time I fought it ‘cause I learned I could
I’m not backing down, I yearn to fight
For all that I deserve, for all that’s right
So now my foot moves forward, just as it should
The path’s become gold, no longer rough wood
A slow smile spreads across my face
This battle I’ll win- yes, that is the case
That tomorrow I’ll be ahead of the game
With no steps back, they’re all the same
For this effort it’s all my soul I’m giving
It’s toward the new life that I’ll be living
Untitled
This pain runs deep
It’s poisoned my veins
I clutch my heart
And fall to the floor
I weakly cry
O help me please
It hurts so much
It can’t be beared
I take a knife
And slash my skin
Blood drips down
Relief is felt
My sick mind
Relishes it
It’s cold and cruel
And calculating
It forces me
To cause more pain
For distraction
From the hurt
The one that took
Right over my soul
I laugh and cry
Go back for more
I have no room
To care that my life
Has become trapped
In an unending circle
Finding Peace
I can’t make it through the day
Will tomorrow be okay?
I won’t make it on my own
For I’ve been stripped down to the bone
I will tremble, then I’ll fall
Can’t you hear my frightened call?
Quickly fading, I am breaking
My lonesome heart, it’s for the taking
Once again I try but fail
It’s too much, my soul’s for sale
Used too often, my will is weak now
So feel me tremble, then watch me bow
To the greater power above
No where’s my peace, oh where’s the dove?
I have lost all hope for me
Where tomorrow will I be?
This here poison, I clutch so tight
Will it offer my final flight?
Darkness creeping, I can’t hold on
So I will be completely gone
Before that happens I’d like to say
We will meet again one fateful day
I don’t like to hurt you so
But the pain, it had to go
Stop
I pound my fists upon these walls
I scream for help but no one hears
I cry myself to sleep at night
I slash these wrists to feel the pain
I try to block out all my hurt
I live in memories of happy times
The world is black
This world is cruel
I need some help
O can’t you hear me cry?
Help, help, help
I need you to free me
Run, run, run
I need out of here
Hide, hide, hide
No one will ever find me
Here in this dark place of hell
Comfort
Come dear, take my hand.
Whisper quietly in my ear.
Tell me it’s not worth it.
Pull me from this edge.
Don’t let me jump.
Hold me in your arms.
Say that I’m worth something.
Pull the demons from my mind.
Give me that feeling of safety.
Show me what love is.
Betrayal has made me forget.
Tears have come too often.
Dry my face.
Tell me I’ll be okay.
Help me to hold on.
Just one more day.
Insurmountable Wall
I look up at this wall in front of me.
On the other side is all that I want, all that I strive for.
All I must do is climb this wall.
It stretches so high.
I take a step back.
Another, then yet another.
I cannot see the top of this wall.
I look around me, it stretches as far as the eye can see.
Tears pool in my eyes as I sit slowly down.
Leaning against this wall, I feel so hopeless.
Climbing it is an impossible feat.
And I'll throw in a litte exerpt from the story of my life that I wrote...
Hands shaking, I fumbled for the ignition. This was not happening. My brain groped around the words I had heard but couldn’t make sense of them. All it could comprehend was the flood of emotion that had overcome me, terror wrapping around my mind, worry seeping into every crevice, desperation surging forth. My body craved an escape from the madness that had taken over. Finally, the key slid into place and I unthinkingly revved the engine, preparing it for the ride ahead. I eased it from the parking lot and headed out of the town’s limits.
My car glided smoothly around the last corner of the winding country road and my foot pressed down on the gas, urging my vehicle into the dark night that engulfed the highway that now lay ahead of me. “She’s in the cities...” My foot inched lower, my mind urging me to forget, sensing the importance to my sanity that forgetting ensued. “…from a severe reaction to her medications…” My hands slowly steadied as the speedometer’s needle climbed. Sensing the acceleration, the heavy thrumming of guitar and bashing of drums increased in volume over my sound system. “…they didn’t mix well together…” My eyes narrowed slightly in concentration on the road ahead which was starting to gradually curve while rising and falling with the land. I shifted my hands to a better spot on the wheel, preparing to have full control of my car in the moments to come. “…she had black outs, seizures, memory loss…” That’s all I can focus on when I’m driving this fast- nothing but the vibration of my vehicle should grab my attention. Thoughts came fleeting and spasmodic. “…no one knows how long she’ll be in the hospital…” That last thought however, was one that I could not shake. Lowering my foot further, my car grew nearer to its limit. The speed would soon consume me, the simple task of staying on the road my only concern for this brief period of time. Slowly, painstakingly slowly, my mind cleared and became hyper-aware of my surroundings. A rush of adrenaline began to filter into my veins, thinning the sorrow that had capsulated my brain.
Flashing lights filled my mirror, the wail of a siren breaking through the silence that came with my violent twist of the volume knob.
NO! I didn’t know whether the voice was mine, my subconscious, or some other indiscernible being inside me.
Fingers flicking on my high beams, my eyes rapidly scanned the highway for my ultimate escape from a hardening reality. There. I pressed the accelerator all the way to the floor, and a split second later, jerked my car off the road’s steep edge and into the looming trees. Time nearly froze as, for the first time in so long, I felt an emotion that could almost count as happiness…
If only I had the courage. Hands slamming onto the steering wheel in frustration, I pressed the break and pulled my car over to the side of the road.
PLEASE don't steal any of these.
I love you girls
