A little girl
with a mushroom cut of
hair as dark as night

she wanted to take flight

her mother smiled and even

her little brother gurgled
happily in his sleep

pretty girls
were friendly and were meek
A little girl
with a fringe and bangs of
hair as dark as night

she wanted to capture
a flower's light

"We're pointless" he said
as he shattered the bond
I'd slowly built after
the demolishion of second thoughts
piercing the bubble
our happiness created

Literature
The unconsciously self-made hermit
The unconsciously self-made hermit
Lies shaking in his bed
He knows that no one cares
If he's alive or if he's dead
The unconsciously self-made hermit
Is shaking in his head
The sun picks up my tears
Like sequins on a gown
My eyes and cheeks are flooded
It feels like I might drown
I'm not sure what hurts more
That you're happy or you're not
All I know is that it hurts
And it hurts an awful lot
Don't get me wrong
I'm no romantic
And hell I'm not normally a wreck
But to be expelled from my place of comfort
It makes me wonder
It makes me check
How did I feel so happy once?
So comforted, so warm
How did I ever think
That I fit between your arms?
For now all I can feel
Is dull pain deep inside
Like karma's catching up to me
And there's nowhere I can hide
The sun picks up my tears
Like sequins on a gown
My eye
Together they await the sun by Reasons-enough, literature
Literature
Together they await the sun
Cold hands
Hold each other
Intertwined as
Knitted scarfs
Eyes look
For no other
They will find
No one else
Wind blows
Cold as ice
Burning cheeks
Red and sore
Nothing else
Will suffice
They will be
Forever more
Pain and sorrow
Fades away
Only their smiles
And hands remain
And tomorrow
Is the day
They will merge
Back in vain
But today
They enjoy it
The cold makes
Them be one
And today
They applaud it
Together they
Await the sun.

I almost cried today.
I almost felt that familiar pang of loneliness and
It almost seized control of my heart again.
It almost threw me back into that darkness,
That abyss of nothingness
I have become acquainted with on several occasions.
I almost fell to my knees today.
I almost needed to feel the comfort of touch
So I almost crossed my arms over my middle and held myself.
I almost laid my face into the space between my knees
Screaming and sobbing;
I almost released every emotion I ever had
Emitting a geyser of regret, fouled by desperation.
I almost rolled my body onto my cold hardwood floor.
I almost placed my hand upon the b
How many sleepless nights will I suffer through,
Until finally I feel human once again,
And I'll be able to look at my own face without forcing a smile,
How many sleepless nights until the gaps between my fingers will be filled.
"Just a bit longer" that's what the faceless people tell me,
But they also said I'd kill myself and they haven't been right yet,
My mind is gnawed at, and is getting consumed by the fear that they're right,
Just a few more sleepless nights.
You wear your red shirt to hide your blood, I'll wear my black one,
I'll purge my blood of my crystal thoughts once I finally sleep,
And maybe one day you'll finally open your ey
A sixteen year old girl sits slouched in the corner of her bedroom. She just cant do it anymore. Her eyes are bloodshot from lack of sleep, and her head is pounding with a migraine. She feels weak and vulnerable. Unappreciated. Taken advantage of. A single tear of frustration, of defeat, rolls down her cheek.
What tyrant has reduced this girl to such a desolate state? Text bullying? An eating disorder? Alcoholism in the family? Sexual abuse? While these issues are all terrible, they are not a part of this girls life. The culprit here is a relatively new antagonist, who poses one of the biggest threats yet to our generation, both
Five Dads
In this life I've had 5 dads
A story behind each one
In this life I've had 5 dads
All of them claimed to call me son
The first couldn't control his urges or desires
So he grabbed a women, and by force I was sired
To this day I look in the mirror,
and I see the scars of his past
I was a child never wanted, it was never meant to last
The second took me in, when I was cast out
He raised me and loved me, till a new wife came about
I guess it goes to show
That with affection you never know
What is real and what is fake
Even if a young boys heart is at stake
The third was a savage, that claimed protection and comfort
So
She smiled,
but it was fake.
She laughed,
but she's about to break.
She reached out,
but no one came,
tried to fake it,
but the pain stayed the same.
This girl, she called to you,
but you didn't care.
Something told you to help,
but you didn't dare.
What would the others say?
The ones who called her a freak.
They may taunt or shun you,
so you choose not to speak.
Then she decides to leave.
Because no one wants her here.
You'll never see her cry.
She'll never shed another tear.

Glitter on the page
There is glitter on my fingertips,
As they stroke across the page,
Its all black and red to you,
But I see it glimmer and form.
She didn't have to make that joke,
As it cut into my trusting heart,
Black, yes, everything is black,
This is why I stay silent.
That was a secret she laughed about.
And you laughed too,
"I'm used to it."
He won't leave my dreams,
And I can never sleep.
Lets wash this blood red marker,
away in the sink.
This is why I am insomniac.
The bullet noise forever imprinted in my mind.
You just smile,
"Well, he's in a better place now."
She never had to use my life against me,
Those low blo
Morning breaks the horizon
The sheets are cool
Your skin is warm.
My face is pressed
To your chest,
Your heart beats in time with mine.
My love seems to burst in fireworks
Through my skin
The rays seep through the curtains
Running its warm fingertips
Across our skin
To land on my eyes, burning.
They open.
You were never here.
So what if I'm emo?
So what if I cry?
I'm not THAT emotional,
I dont want to die.
So what if I dress in a different style?
There's no need to scream and run for a mile
I dont like to cut and abuse my arm,
I am not depressed,
so why cause self harm?
Could it be that I am just like you?
That I can smile, giggle and laugh along too?
Could it be that I am happy with myself?
It's just that I am not some pretty doll on the shelf.
Could it be that the only reason i dye my hair black;
Is because I dont want to be some barbie in a bimbo girl pack.
These are the reasons, and I'll tell you why,
that I dont look in the mirror and start to
