Snowflakes



In the black of night
A snowflake makes its way down
It waits till it hits
Shattering on the ground
So small and so unnoticed
Such a beautiful journey
Spiraling towards its doom
Knowing nothing of its fate
A sad example of life
Terrible how it goes
Continues happily
Dooming itself by existing
How it must feel when it falls
Free and untamed
Till the earth stops it
And eventually it will melt away
Its tears consume it
It disappears into the air
And no one knew
How it died alone

Suddenly, I Became Me


That light…
It brightens as you get closer.
It bids you welcome.
It draws you in.
You open your eyes.
A white room.
People yelling.
You cry.
You suddenly feel warm.
Pressed against something soft.
A smile and a laugh penetrate the crying.
You grab at a hand.
It’s so much bigger than yours.
You squeeze tightly.
You don’t want to be let go.
Soon you fall asleep.
In your mother’s arms you snuggle.
A place of comfort forever.

Forget Me Not



Forget me not
For I’ve been left ignored
A wallflower wishing for death

I tried to fit in
But was pushed aside and shamed
Forget me not

I’d do it over again
Become someone who they’d want to afford
A wallflower wishing for death

I only wanted a friend
But they killed my will with words
Forget me not

I wanted to jump from the highest end
I was scared to be alone; they stabbed my back with their swords
A wallflower wishing for death

I felt afraid of what would happen, who they would send
I wanted them gone, to feel my pain in their cores
Forget me not
A wallflower wishing for death

Wake me up



How do you know when you’re dreaming
It’s like a translucent haze
It comsumes you
And deposits you in a place so familiar
A friendly face
My favorite sitter
Playing games
Talking stories of pirates
Sleep was once quiet and happy
Why did he change
Overpowering strength
Unable to fight
He was a friend
I was condemned to his torture
Outside it was so cold
I shivered from fear and frost
But his touch burned
It felt too wrong
My trust betrayed
Memories of blood and pain
My gagged cries
Scolding tears
I wanted to die
I felt so dirty
Why did he hurt me
He was a friend
Liar
A wolf in friend’s clothing
My nightmare
A nightly haunting
I feel dirty
Wake me up

Comfort



I wonder who locked this door
It will not open
Cannot budge
Welded shut
Afraid to open
Afraid to be seen
I sit alone
The darkness my only companion
It comforts
It licks my wounds
I feel the teardrops
The salty poison that fills me
I never saw
I never knew
The door slammed shut long ago
My mind working
Trying to find the key
Dreaming of freedom
I can handle the pain
As long as I am free
No longer alone
Let them yell
Let them hate
I just want to feel something
I kick
I scream
I claw at that door
Desperately wanting escape
Needing it
Any feeling at all
I cry and roar
I become something foreign
It tries to refuse me
My freedom is within reach
Darkness tries to keep me
No longer a friend
I will not let it
Let them abuse me
Let the hatred consume me
I break my bonds
The door opens slightly
I feel the air
I push it open
My breath halts
They stare
All of them
They run
I chase them
I want to be known
I want to be here
Hit me
Hate me
Just be with me
I see the darkness
It wants to pull me back
I run
The cage falls
There is no exit
They laugh at me
I bury my face
I cannot recognize myself
I long for the comfort of the dark

Charade: A poem in three parts



New beginnings
End of all that was
Whole new life
Karma would catch up
I was sure of that
Death to the old me
One hate was enough
Never again would I be that person
The one they hated
However I was stupid
Every time I try
Bad things come to me
Let me forget
Only for a while
Create a new life
Karma will catch up eventually
*~*~*~*~*
Second chances, they don’t ever matter
People never change
They always act the same
Hurting you
Killing the spirit inside
You have no will to fight back
You’re simply the doormat
They walk on you
Everyone knows your name
Can’t be a wallflower anymore
They think they know you
They call you names
Pretend it doesn’t hurt
Pretend everything’s okay
Let it kill you inside
Because they don’t understand what they do
Its okay
Cry with me
Hold my hand
Let them talk
You’re still beautiful
Just pretend
*~*~*~*~*
Now’s the time
Get out while you still can
Leave it behind
Go back to where you belong
Escape the hate
Become as fake as them
Hide your pain
Use the mask well
Have so many people surround you
That way they can’t see who you are
Don’t let the mask down
Be someone they’ll never know
You can be yourself at home
Cry if you must
But into a pillow
Let none hear your sorrow
Let none feel your agony
Only two to go
You’ll be free from this hell
And then you’ll be me
