GOOD LUCK TO ALL

Graffitti skies

The tension upon the faces part,
The scarce beauty and twinkling lights,
The tide is in and the hearts are sharp,
The stars burning upon the nights,

The waves ripple time a graceful saint,
The laughter behind the cosmetic masks,
A friendship holds the popular taint,
The liquid dined on captured in casks,

The bottles of courage are drunk at the local pub,
The grotesque hide in their houses of wax,
The enemies are coming in their lethal sub,
"You're going to die" is sent by fax,

March us unto our suicidal grunge,
Rip us to our stand and let the bombs fly,
Into the shallow we start to plunge,
Salute the Captain when the end is nigh,

We have to respect the ones who rape the young,
Deprive us of our future with agression,
The deranged are imagining the old songs that were sung,
It won't matter, those who survive will die of deppression,

The gown of the young maiden stripped from her frame,
Graduation was so long ago,
But of course they feel no shame,
He makes her one last sacrifical blow.

thanks,
Emma

"apart of me"

For the longest time
My lips were sealed
But my deepest secret
Now revealed

I always wondered
Deep inside
How life would be
By a fathers side

I wish I knew
At least your name
I wish I knew
Just who to blame

I blame myself
I feel as though
It`s all my fault
You didn`t watch me grow

Was I not good enough
To make you stay
Am I the reason
You walked away

You deprived me
Of a fathers love
You deprived me
Of a loving fathers hug

I went through life
Acting as if I didn`t care
That you, my father
Were never there

It bothered me inside
In my heart I knew I was sad
That to me you`re a stranger
The father I never had

Deep in my heart
To fate I plea
To see the man
That is one half apart of me.

Mommy's Little Soldier

A crescent moon wakes
To a heart's faded plee.
Muffled whispers of innocence,
As she dreams her last dream.

She's no longer sleeping,
From the noise that he makes.
The little girl watches,
As her mother, he breaks.

Yelling and screaming.
He smacks her around.
Never to stop,
Until there's blood on the ground.

"Mom, you didn't do anything!
It's good who you've been.
Don't let him call you dirt,
Don't say sorry to him!"

The child stood tall,
And masked her fears.
But as he walked closer,
She couldn't hide tears.

With a bottle in his hand,
And beer on his breath.
Night witness true darkness,
As he brings to her, death.

Now the crescent moon sleeps,
To a mother's silent plee.
Her daughter was taken.
A soul was set free.

PERFECT WORLD, PERFECT END

Vines of Emerald bind her heart
Golden hair flows free
Walking on the heated sand
Until she meets the sea

Baby blue and purest white
The ocean hugs the shore
Loving embrace of the earth
From crust through to the core

Seagulls float like lost angels
Through the wispy clouds
Cleanest air she's ever breathed
Calm and peaceful sounds

Silky gown of violet shades
Blossoms in her hair
Ribbons tied around her waist
Her skin is pale and fair

First contact with the icy water
Deeper in she wades
Until her body is submerged
Her consciousness now fades

Engulfed in what she didn't know
Consumed by all her fears
Swallowed by the peaceful sea
That she filled with her tears

Perfection is the saddest thing
It leaves more than a mark
Truth seen only through her eyes
And they were always dark

Her beauty is immaculate
Her heart is made of stone
She delved inside that perfect world
But she was all alone

The Suicide Act

I walk down a dark hallway
And look all around
I glance at the floor
Theres blood on the ground

I continue to walk
Never missing a step
I continue to think of
All the secrets they kept

I'm stumbling along know
I don't know where to go
I look at my arms
And the stories they show

I'm following the blood trail
It ends at a room
Don't want to go in there
It feels to much like doom

I take a breath now
I open the door
The sight before me
Causes the tears to pour

I don't know whats happening
That can't be me
I open my mouth
Desperately trying to scream

Theres blood on the bed
And blood on the floor
I'm on the bed
I can see from the door

I glance at my arms
How transparent they look
Then I look at the bed
The life that I took

The tears come harder
I sink to the floor
I glance at my body
Then run out the door

I never stop running
I never glance back
Forever I'm part of
The Suicide Act

I see a lonely girl,
she is smiling,
to all she looks happy,
but to me she looks sad,
for i can see past the smile,
to the broken heart within.

she laughs out loud,
but cries inside,
her smile never fails,
but within she dies.

in front of others,
she hides,
as one described,
in her cloak of beauty
she stands straight,
and seems alright,
the belle of the ball,
never looses a fight.

in her lonely hell however,
her beautiful face is adorned with tears,
her eyes tell a tale filled with pain,
her body trembles,
and her heart breaks,
her smile disappears and is replaced with a deep sorrow never seen before.

when she faces the world,
she does not brake,
no one sees past her laugh,
no one sees her hidden lies.

but alone she has no weapon,
no reason to hide her fears,
she lets it all go,
she lets it all out,
she lets her heart bleed,
and lets herself drown.

i look at this beautiful, lost girl,
whose hope has been shattered and thrown away,
whose feelings have been played with,
whose heart has been torn,
and i understand her fears and pains.

no one shall ever see past her smile,
within her beauty she hides her lies,
she says I'm fine again and again,
and everyone is fooled by her clever game.

everyone that is but the girl and me,
for we are both one in all means,
i am looking in a lake of sorrow,
at me stares back my reflection,
no one knows our fears,
just ourselves,
and as i realize that she is but my reflection,
i walk away.

i walk away knowing that one day it shall get better,
i walk away with the first glimmers of hope coming through,
and i walk away knowing if i give up,
i will end up in that pool of sorrow,
from which no joy come,
no one drinks from,
and all stay away from.

i walk away knowing that the fight has not been lost.

some great poems so far about half way over

.run away from it.
by chelsea rose
her mother is an addict,
who can’t get by without her blow.
she started using drugs for novocain,
hoping her feelings wouldn’t show,
as the days go on,
and her mom is growing weaker,
she cant help but realize
that the futures getting bleaker.

her father has been dead for years,
gone before his time,
he was way too violent,
and it led to his demise.
His memory still has a hold on them,
In the haunting form of scars,
It’s a blessing in disguise,
That he drunkenly crashed his car.

her sister is a mother,
at the young age of sixteen,
she thought that they would last forever,
but it wasent what it seemed,
as soon as he knew he found out,
he went as far as he could run,
she hoped she’d found a husband,
but instead she found a son.

her brother couldn’t handle living,
It became just way too much,
All he felt was pain and anger
and the pressure made him shatter,
now nothing else could matter,
so he wrote out his last words,
and the sound of a shot was all they heard.

she is a young girl,
whos been exposed to way too much.
She thought she had a family,
But there was no such luck.
Shes growing up,
and looking at whats caused her so much pain.
And sooner or later, It’s dawning on her,
Shes tried to do the best she can,
But now shes sick of it.
separating herself from the sin,
is the only thing to do.
She’ll run away from it.

Take Me Away

Why do I cry?
Night and day
Won't you take my hand?
Take me away....

Unleash me from my pain
Free me from my fears
Grant me a life
Where I shed no tears

Just take my hand, and hold on tight
For if you let go, I may never see the light
Darkness dwells in the depth of my heart
And bit by bit, tares it apart

The sounds of sorrow, the sounds of pain
It's all to much, I can't handle life's touch
Why did it have to be this way?

I'm an empty shell, broken and torn
Covered by a mask, that covers my past
Darkness chews, eating me inside
Yet I tell no one
I just run and hide

Tears flowing freely down my once cheerful face
My heart beating rapidly, quickening with each pace
Eyes darting from left to right
Searching for someone, to make things alright

And you wonder why I cry
And you wonder why I scream
When I whimper away in fear
Or try to run away from here

Don't tell me that you did not see
The tears upon my face
Don't tell me that you did not care
of why my heart would race

So why did you ask
Even though you knew
About my past
Like you had no clue

If its answers you want
Then answers you shall receive
But let me warn you
Understanding is not easy

This is how I am....

A girl;
That cries
Night and day
Wishing for someone to take her away
Take me away....

suicide took him

An icy moon,
the orb of light,
hanging high above,
the sole witness,
to a mans final deed,
alone on an icy morn,
he ended his life,
left us all,
a single bullet's all it took,
to steel away his sole,
to remove him from the world,
to leave us all alone,
Jake left that day,
never to return,
fell to the icy floor,
crimson stained the ground,
he left us,
left the world,
ended his misery,
went to an unknown place,
to were we may not follow,
and from where he cannot return.

left behind

Cold unseeing eyes,
Staring, forever staring at nothing,
This is what has become of him,
No more shall he suffer,
No more lies to endure,
For he has gone,
Gone and left us behind,
Left us in this uncaring world,
Left us alone, forever here,
Long we still must suffer,
More lies we shall be told,
For we are still here,
We were left behind.

SILENT MEMORIES

to those memories people keep silent we all have them)

Forgetting all those silent memories
That haunt the soul and mind
That corrupt the happy thoughts
That are usually so hard to find

Trying to keep them silent
Hoping they'll get lost
But sometimes their stronger
And happiness is all it costs

For memories you don't want
Such sacrifice you pay
To not feel that painful memory
You just want to go away

It seeps into your life unannounced
Like some kind of disease
As it eats away the happiness
That once used to ease

all the pain you have suffered
And the darkness that you see
all the loss of your happiness
is all caused by those silent memories

don't cry

Come over here and talk to me
I can help if you're feeling blue
I can comfort and sooth your pain
Who cares if I'm sad too.

I can tell you it will work out
And that things will be alright
Never mind the pain I feel
As I fall asleep each night

If he has hurt your heart
And you think that he's the one
I can go and talk to him
It doesn't matter what I've become

If there is a problem in the home
Or if your friends have lied
Its not your problem that my eyes burn
From all the tears I've cried.

I can give a shoulder to cry on
And provide a caring ear
For you to pore your soul out
I'll take away any fear

But never mind my broken heart
Who cares if I want to die
It doesn't matter what I feel
As long as you don't cry
