i thought this one should go in,as u thought of the name

Powerless

Bound to a table
Her body stripped bare
Her screams ringing in her ears
No one seems to care

Knifes cut and graze her
Her body bruised and broke
Her scarred mind in tatters
With sobs she starts to choke

Although people surround her
And she recognizes each face
No-one will move to save her
She has fallen from their grace

Tormented with pain
As loved ones coldly stare
Her wrists bleed from pulling
At the bonds which keep her there

//////////////////////////////////////

In her asylum bed she pulls against her restraints
For it is now that we find
Her loved ones are powerless to help her
For she is locked inside her mind

I seen you again today! By: Tim Bradshaw

I seen you again today,
You're someone I don't want to know,
You disgrace the meaning of the human being,
Yet you still will not go.

I hate having to see your face,
Knowing the hatred you have brought.
I can't stand knowing what you've done,
And the ignorance that you've taught.

I want you to leave me alone,
You're every where I turn.
You need to go where you belong,
In hell to rot and burn.

Don't think that I can ever forgive,
The wrong that you have done.
Even though you say your sorry,
And that is was out of fun.

I seen you again today,
You are my biggest fear.
I'm taking this rock and ending your life,
You're dead! I broke the mirror.

BETRAYAL
*************
I LOST THE WILL TO LOVE ...
MY HEART BLEEDS SO MUCH AS I CAN'T
STAND THIS PAIN MUCH MORE
I'M NOW JUST A MAN WITH BROKEN DREAMS
SCATTERED HERE AND THERE THAT'S WHAT IT SEEMS
MY LIFE NOW HAS NO MEANING AT ALL
**************************************
IN MY LIFE I SAW MANY KINDS OF PEOPLE
PEOPLE WHO LOVE & PEOPLE WHO HATE
PEOPLE WHO GIVE & PEOPLE WHO TAKE
& THAT WAS MY ONLY MISTAKE .. I TRUST PEOPLE
*************************************
MANY WHO SOLD ME & MANY WHO BETRAYED
MANY WHO I THOUGHT THEY WERE SAINTS
BUT AT THE END I SAW WHAT LIES BEHIND
HATE , PAIN & BETRAYAL BUT I WAS BLIND
*********************************
I LOST AGAIN THE WILL TO LOVE.....
MY HEART NOW TURNED TO A SOLID ROCK
A ROCK THAT CAN'T BE CHANGED BY AGES
EVEN IF I FOUND TRUE LOVE NOW IT'S TOO LATE TO WAKE IT
************************************
IT'S NOW SLEEPING DREAMING OF NIGHTMARES
IT'S AFRAID TO WAKE UP AND SEE WHAT LIFE IS
IT ONLY SAW HATE , PAIN & SADNESS
IT'S AFRAID TO BE BROKEN AGAIN,THIS TIME
THERE ARE NO ONE TO MIND THIS
***************************
I SEE THAT IT SHOULD STAY SLEEPING
CLOSING IT'S EYES AND DREAMING OF BELIEVING
THAT OUR WORLD WILL BE SOMEDAY A BETTER PLACE
WERE TRUE LOVE CAN LIVE WITHIN OUR HUMAN RACE
***********************************

~* Tonight *~

Crying for understanding, praying for a dream,
Wishing it would end right here, stopping the eternal scream.
You say you're doing fine, you're really quite OK,
While waking up in the morning, not ready to face the day.

Someone tells you something, like you look so great today,
Thanking him with a smile, hoping he goes away.
You sit there sunken in thought, hoping you will survive,
But at the same time thanking god, that you are still alive.

Praying the tears away wishing for a friend,
Who won't talk around your back, who'd stay with you 'till the end.
The tears won't come tonight, you say inside your head,
'Cause this afternoon I'll be gone, tonight I will be dead.

In My Dreams
by Sarah Drew

I fall asleep
I start to dream
My thoughts are deep

I see him there
He walks over to me
He runs his fingers through my hair

He looks into my eyes
I look back into his
My heart flies

He smiles at me
And kisses my cheek
I'm filled up with glee

He takes my hand
We begin to walk
We here music from a distant band

It's beginning to become light
Our time together is almost over
I'm filled with fright

He smiles and says goodbye
He walks away from me
I begin to cry

Our time is done
It's all over for me
That's it for all the fun

I'm now awake
Tears are rolling down my face
I begin to shake

It's over now
I'll get over this dream
I just don't know how

"Hope"

Why won`t they accept
The fact that I`m not she
The little girl
I used to be

That shy young girl
With a voice so small
Never said a word
But her smile said it all

The little girl
That stayed so tough
She never cried
When things got rough

The little girl
Who belongs to my past
The little girl
They said grew up so fast

As time went by
And life got bad
She felt she lost
The heart she had

She felt all alone
On her pillow she cried
Because apart of her
She felt had died

Soon her emotions
To much to take in
So she painted her wrists
With suicides sin

She almost gave up
Until one founding day
Her angel appeared
And convinced her to stay

He gave her the hope
She needed to find
He gave her the love
So sweet and so kind

I can`t thank him enough
For loving me the way that he does
For being the hope
That nobody else was.

The Sweetest Kill

An enchanting touch
Will lead me to the night.
Take this soul capture,
I put up no fight.

His eyes are no windows,
But a one way mirror
Reflections of myself,
He notices so clear.

An enchanting touch
Will blind me of reason.
I'll fall for him fast,
He'll commit love's treason.

His voice sings a melody,
As it whisper in my ear.
Decieves me with words,
With all I want to hear.

An enchanting touch
Will gracefully kill me.
Take the heart
As I wither in false dream.

Hey this is called .::Awaken::.

Plucked from the warmth of the room,
Into the dark and cold,
The place so different so I start to scream my doom,
Lifted into the air to the ceiling as if to say,"Behold!"

Cupped into icicles whispers are in my head,
Blessed with the moist lips of someone's enchanting embrace,
Into the depths of water showered off what's been bled,
The screaming from inside my throat, "Why am I in this place?"

The light shone into my eyes passing me from hand to hand,
Finally wrapped in warmth and comfort takes hold,
The faces lurking and watching me whispering their demands,
A single tear slides down my cheek as I prepare to be bold,

The noise in the room defeats the quiet of the other,
Some departed and I found peaceful rest,
My thoughts floated around and so I adopted her as my mother,
I finally find sleep to the movements of her chest......

If you didnt understand what this is about
this is one way of picturing birth

thank you
Emma

I am sorry I have not been perfect,
During my eighteen years of life.
I am sorry you think I am anorexic,
And that I live life by a knife.
I am sorry I am not the same little girl,
That I was a short time ago.
I am sorry that I feel so much pain inside,
And that you have yet to see me grow.
I am sorry you must look into these cold eyes,
And that I have no confidence left to spare.
I am sorry that I like being away from you,
And that you hate the clothes I wear.
I am sorry for keeping things from you,
And for all my self-destruction.
I am sorry for making you yell at me,
And for causing you have that reaction.
I am sorry for all the times I have sided with Dad,
And for not feeling a bit of guilt.
I am sorry for being the reason you damaged,
The relationship we could have built.
I am sorry for using your best kitchen knife,
To slit my wrist for the first time.
I am sorry for making time spent with me,
Have to feel like a crime.
I am sorry for not giving you hugs when you want them,
And I am sorry for resenting you.
I am sorry for not having the same beliefs,
And for always making you argue.
I am sorry I do not like you,
And that I cannot forget things you have said.
I am sorry that each and every day,
Those words go through my head.
I am sorry for never calling,
And that I do not miss you at all.
I am sorry you had to see me at my worst,
Sorry you had to see me fall.
I am sorry I am not the perfect daughter,
And that I am not who you thought I would be.
I am sorry, mother, for letting you down,
I am so sorry for being me.

Silent memories
by Tabby

(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

What I know is True Inside
by: Katie

With my heart you'll play your trick
With my razorblade I'll play mine
Youll take my heart and say you'll care
I'll take my razor blade and form a little line

Your trick is like magic an illusion of love
I'm falling deeper into your spell you've enchanted for me
My trick is like ectasy just like a drug
An addiction that wont set me free

With my heart in hand you take it for a ride
A ride that never ends in tears, but laughter and smiles
With my razorblade in hand, I'll take it for a spin
Turning and cutting deeper into my skin

Each passing day Im sinking deeper into this trap you've set
To you it's just a game the more tricks the higher you'll score you'll get
Each passing day I'm getting closer to my demise
Every cut bringing me closer to what I know is true inside

Finally feeling helpless, I confide in you
The pain, The hurt, The cuts, All that I've been through
But your not interested, this wasnt what you were after
The illusion disappears, The scars still there, but gone is the laughter

My heart is now breaking, because you melted away the ice
Nothing left to shield it, nothing but my device
I resort to it, to keep me from the pain inside
Closer, and still closer to my demise

The words can't escape me
But I'll see to it that these feelings will
I won't end it with this razor alone
I'll end it with what I feel

I feel you ripped out my heart, so i literary will
I feel like you drugged me, so I'll take this pill
You slashed through my life, I'll slash through my wrist
You carved your name in my heart, and that'll be my twist

History's Forgotten Past
by HansRik

History's Forgotten Past

The fragile existence sounds in the wind,
As a shattered memory.

Decaying history,
Overridden by the crows' prelude to Death
In an empty realm of dark, intangible instruments.

The storms whisper of a pitiable past,
An artificial present withering away into a
Futile future.

The rainy rampage collapses into infinity-
A mystery dissolving like ice:

Life.

'Tis here, the old Story is told:
We are all made of stardust,

An accident in the history of the universe.
An explosion (a mistake) that formed the infinite possibilities of randomness.
But we are all One, we are Naught.

We are all made of stardust; we are all made of History.

These ethereal realities never cease to implode
Within the vastness of emptiness.

Eternity exists in one second's thought; the Totality, in my palm.

Little Angel

Lost between the fingertips of broken reality,
Searching for the souls of modern mortality.
Within the nightmare encasing her mind,
Lies the shattered dream her heart confined.

Little angel spread your wings,
Lift from this land and the mourning it brings.
Drown your sorrows and keep your peace,
Little angel, find your release.

A thousand fortune stories told from lies,
Choose a deck of cards and pay your price.
For a soul is nothing for the broken to give,
'Cause its just a painful memory to relive.

Little angel spread your wings,
Lift from this land and the mourning it brings.
Drown your sorrows and keep your peace,
Little angel, find your release.

Shadows surround a once perfect heart,
Erase the shadows for a new start.
Turn out the light, the shadow disappears,
To find pure darkness the heart fears.

Little angel spread your wings,
In this land of the mourning and things.
You feed on sorrows and destroy the peace,
Devil's angel, you've found the release.

~Ritual Pursuit~

Running for her life she fled,
out into the dark night air,
her piercing scream awoke the dead,
on she hurried without a care.

She knew not what she ran from,
nor where her path would lead,
she was driven on by hatred,
or so it would seem.

Scurrying through the undergrowth,
her lower limbs torn,
flickering, hesitant, full of loath,
her inner self was born.

She wanted to escape this fear,
to her sins she must confess,
she needed but a listening ear,
to save her from this darkness.

As Satan lured her onward,
her soul mourned her return,
she stumbled on the white-hot coals,
and she could feel it burn.

We only need two more.

tell me not...

Speak not to me of hope and light,
For both these are gone,
Speak not of love and safety,
And all that they can bring,
For I am not un-versed in such things,
I know of the joy they can convey,
But also of the pain,
The emptiness their absence endures,
How fragile their existence is,
Say not that things will get better,
For we both know that is untrue,
These lies like flaming arrows,
Burn holes within my soul,
Tell me not of the future,
And all that it may bring,
All the happiness and the joy,
The light, hope and relief,
My thoughts cannot go there,
Such things I cannot comprehend,
The dark mist is thickening,
You can see it as well as I,
Yet you deny its presence,
Prefer to live a lie,
Speak not to me of light and hope,
These are long since lost,
Once I may have believed you,
That things may improve,
But such a time seems an age away,
Life has shattered many times since then,
And been lost into the dark abyss,
Swallowed by the black sea,
Sunk, lost and never to return,
Speak not to me of live,
For mine is almost though,
Tell me not to be strong,
That if I wait things will improve,
That things will be fine,
With these lies I cannot cope,
Life shattered and a broken soul,
Death looms,
And the end is nie.

Stay Strong

Don't you dare give up now
Without you I couldnt go on
I wouldnt know how
You've got to stay strong

It's ok to be upset - and to cry
It doesnt make you any less of a man
I understand if you want to die
But that doesnt mean you can

I wont stand back and watch you fall to pieces
Please just tell me what do
Let me find you new life leases
Because I'd be lost if i lost you

You say you've been offered many shoulders
But i'm offering so much more
I know your pain must be like boulders
But you cant stay like this forever more

So slit your wrists or use a gun
Where do you think that leaves me?
Do you think I'm having fun?
Your pain is my pain - cant you see?

I ask you - I beg you, please stay strong
I'll stay, I'll help - until the very end
I'll sing to you hope's song
Because I couldnt live without my best friend.

Your welcome

Follow Me:

absorbing warmth from the flame
the crowd gathers, shivering
unaware of their actions

glazed eyes dance, transfixed
following the candle's flicker
moths collide and fall helplessly

bodies move breathlessly;
drawn away from the center
conforming to fill their shapes

they've never acted so alive
feeling light; one breath and
their flame is dispelled

the smoke hangs in the air, lazily
isolation tastes warmer
cuddling their darkened forms

Thank you :D

~Shed a Tear~

Shed a tear for me,
for I can't sleep tonight.
Shed a tear for me,
you broke my heart again.
Shed a tear for me,
I can't take it anymore.
Shed a tear for me,
I'm breaking down inside.
My smiles are becoming fake,
my lies are becoming more.
I can't keep your secrets,
I can't even keep my own.
No one can bring me back,
You've pushed me to far.
Whether you meant to or not,
I won't take your pity anymore.
Shed a tear for me,
your on my mind tonight,
When I slit my wrists,
I'll think of you as I bleed.
When I fall to the floor,
I'll curse your name out loud.
Then will you feel sorry,
then will you remember,
the pain that you caused me?
So if you truly care,
then shed a tear for me.

~A Cry for Help~

A Cry for help to anyone that will listen.
My life is ending, my world is crashing, and I am going along for the ride.
I feel like my world is an on going roller coaster, or a plane that is going to crash, and somehow I can't find the break.
I'm screaming so loud in a room full of people, but no one can hear my cry.
Please will someone help me, I'm living in fear.
Fear of loosing, fear of winning, fear of wanting something I can't have.
Than here you come and parade around, and try to take over my life.
Well go away, and let me be, cause I don't need your sympathy.
You told me you loved me, then you said you love her.
Well what did I do, and what did I say, to be treated different today.
When I gave you my heart, and you turned me away.
I thought you said you'd be with me till the end.
Well guess what, this isn't the end, this is only the beginning!

um the contest is over
