As I Lay Dying

The night grows cold
And then air gets thin
It becomes hard to breathe
As if my lungs have caved in

I remember the good days
And I remember the bad
But most of all
I remember being sad

And it wasn't your fault
No it was mine
And I think of how careless
I was at the time

I didn't want this to happen
I didn't want us to part
I wish we could have had one last dance
So you would have known you will always be in my heart

And as I lay dying
I only see your face
And I see how helpless I am
I will never earn your grace

Drenched in Blood & tears

little jimmy lies in the gutter
drenched in his blood
and his parents fears
and then jimmy said
"im drowning in the tears
the tears of mothers and fathers
no one can stop this hell
thats been caused by all the haters and racsists"
he sat there in pain
too weak to hold on
but no strength to let go
and as he lay there in the gutter
his brother made a vow
to drench himself in the blood
the blood of his brothers killers
and of the essence of hate.

thats my poem hope its not too late

Fear

She sees the fear.
She breathes the fear.
She weaves the fear.
Pressed up against your body
Humming a forgotten lullaby
To which only she knows the words -
Or pretends to.
She breeds the fear.
She stalks the fear.
She feeds the fear.
Dancing in the crevices of a broken heart
Hands caressing, fingers blessing
Pins and needles mending a restless sleep -
Or pretending to.
She feels the fear.
She smells the fear.
She heals the fear.
Echoing your madness with a smile
Head spinning like a carousel
Drenched in the remnants of her touch
Until slumber claims your complexities -
Or pretends to.

Suicide of a Happy Family

The sun is shining,
The birds chirping,
and I am whining,

I don’t want to wake up!

My mother calls me,
It’s time for school,
She hates me and I know it,
Though she thinks me a fool

“Breakfast” she cries,
Through our ‘happy family’ lies

And I just don’t want to wake up.

The time has come,
To greet the sun,
Everyday, just like the next.

I sit in my bed,
Thoughts locked in my head

I never want to wake up.

Maybe one day,
I’ll be merry, happy,
Or maybe one day,
The pain will go away

And I will never have to wake up.

[juliasweakness]

I don't want to wake up the dream's that
i have are so much more inviting than the
harsh reality that has tear's flowing down
my cheek.

I don't want to wake up for the fact
that when i do the world almost crumbles
from the hatred that surrounds me , i almost
want to embrace it so i want have to feel the
pain and sorrow it gives me.

I don't want to wake up because things are
just simpler in a world that doesnt cry out
for angel's and blood is given and not taken
for pain's sake.

here is my entry

Open eyes

I don’t want to wake up.
It will only bring pain…
Please god, my father
Keep me forever lain.
I don’t want to see them…
Tears on my bed
They won’t understand
Trapped in this web.

I want to keep this dream.
The only truth in my life.
I hate them all…
Their pain and their strife.

Oh god my savior
Hear my prayer
I’ve tried so hard,
It’s only fair!
Let me lie here
Forever in this spot
Let them not remember
The life that is not

Let me pass, as do the tide
Never wakening
Lost inside






well thats mine redface i hope its good.

Drenched in bubbles
That have popped
It's because of others
They must be stopped
It always happens
Now we're insecure
Make it stop
So we can be sure
Sure of ourselves
Because it damages
Some don't request it
Others are savages
Protect yourselves
Don't fall in the trap
Stay on your feet
So they can't take your lap
