A Monster's Final Moments
The embers of my bitter revenge burn low, and I'm left with lingering anger and disappointment. Their hatred for me doesn't approach the profound self-loathing that plagues my existence. In a final, desperate plea, I raise my gaze skyward. Even though I have been shown little compassion in my life, I implore the divine power of God, a figure known...

Would you
Would you be mad if I picked up the bottle? Would you cry if I were to die Lost to the cradle of death Would you hold me close as I cry? Would you hum me to sleep As I softly weep? Would you comfort me through the sorrow Beg me to see tomorrow? And I ask one more time, would you?...

Just A Word
I can’t do it anymore. They tell me to do what I think is right. But what I think is right, It seems to be wrong. Suicide. Maybe it’s simply just a word to you But the day that I leave you, The horrible day that seems closer everyday, Is also the day when my parents are the most...

How fragile we are
I sit and watch the twilight In vaulted heaven burns brittle stars I feel the rush of wind It cares the ash of pine I feel the movement of the earth In rivers of darkness flow I feel the cosmic birth How fragile we are I know the tilt of the universe In seas of oblivions void I touch the...

The end of my rope
You tied the noose that I hang from I stare at the writing on the wall I feel like all the words are written wrong My feet can’t find the stall I wish my thoughts would just be gone I am the rope in which they tie I can’t seem to shape the future of my life Got me thinking am I...

Tired
I'm too tired to care - too worn to wear that chic shirt which matches my shoes that you seem to care so much about I'm too drained to change at all Truthfully, I'm more than tired - an exhaustion born from a wired brain too tormented to sleep - Too terrified to be burned alive in this frigid fire pit again and again - but...

Sound, Words, and Other Deaths
The air turned black all around me and the fear truly set in. The darkness is surrounding. Who's to know what lies within? The voices spin, dizzying in my head. They repeat all those words to me. All the words they said are closer than memory. As my blood runs out, the darkness swirls around...

You'd Never Know
You'd never know Surely no one could tell I almost took my life ten months ago From the flames inside that burned a living hell Where demons dwell and angels ache to break free from below It mustn't show, the absent soul hidden with a counterfeit shell...

I Want to Want
I want to want - I want to look into your eyes and feel the weight of damnation lifted from my shoulders. I want to see endless days without the foresight to end it. I want to envision visions of eternity in eternal bliss. I want to hold your hand and feel the embrace of light itself. I want to...

A RIDE I COULDN T SEE
To all, apologies I send, For sights unseen, where paths did end. My roller coaster, wild and free, A blur of motion, lost to me. Through twists and turns, I couldn't trace, The dizzying speed, the frantic pace. It grew too much, a heavy weight, A burden I could not take. The highs and lows, a weary game, A constant shift, a burning flame. Most...

A Soldier once tried to end his life until God showed up and I'm here today
One dark morning at 2am I stood there alone. My life in pieces, many things had gone wrong. The pain was so deep, no light I could see. I could not believe, what was happening to me. No other person I thought has felt this pain. Mine was the worst, and that was my claim....
