I've Been BeatToday I’m going to snap, I’m going to break,
I’ve finally decided this is all too much to take,
Pick up the pieces, throw them all aside,
Stare the demons in the face, I’m not going to hide,
I’m taking back every little word I said,
Screw acting from the heart, I’m using my head,
I’ve been torn apart and left alone,
Until my own hurt became my own home,
I’ve frozen over, this is just too much,
I threw in the towel, I’ve had enough,
I’ve succumbed, I’ve proven that I’m weak,
I may stand up tall, but I know I’ve been beat.
GoYou used to dry every tear that ran down my cheek,
Pick me up when I couldn’t walk ‘cause I was too weak,
Cover my ears to soften every painful sound,
Be there to catch me before I’d hit the ground,
Always checking, checking to see if I was coming,
So we’d be off, escaping, only focusing on running,
Running away, away from it all,
‘Cause that’s how you helped me not to fall,
And now, now I guess I can walk on my own,
The day has come when I can make it alone,
‘Cause now there’s someone else who needs you more than me,
And our time together is as distant as yesterday’s soliloquy,
Fight
ReversedI once believed first loves were always true,
I thought I meant the world to you,
So I put my heart in the hands of chance,
And traded my head for ignorance,

Now look where you've got me,
And see what I can no longer be,
Once a child, still so young,
This loss of innocence can’t be undone,

Every betrayal, every love,
Every demon I’ve become,
Resonated behind your smile,
Choking whispers that defile,

I’m a rose without it’s petals,
Strong but so unsettled,
Defending with no flower to protect,
Salvaging what's left of the self you wrecked,

I look in the mirror to see you,
Everything you are now I am too,
Re
Loveless DemiseWelcome home darkness, to that place in my heart
You can come inside now, see who we are,
We can grow old, let’s be lovers,
Let’s live and die for one another,

Scour my mind, you’ll fit right in,
All that wasted innocence dying within,
I’ve buried myself deeper than time could tell,
Accepted that heaven has gone straight to hell,

I’m on the edge, I didn’t walk this far alone,
I burned up in your fires, and called them my own,
You are my master, you hold the chain,
You whip my back, you ease every pain,

So stand by my side like no one else can,
Crush all my fingers in your cold hand,
Force me to look

The Looking GlassShe's just another Alice in Wonderland,
Staring through the looking glass,
Cool panes under hand,
Watching the world pass,

On the other side, emotions range from 1 to 10,
Pictures only come in black and white,
Same old story again and again,
Simple as day and night,

Not a single dream that outshines the rest,
Nor a dreamer that stands alone,
No star in the sky is brighest,
And the heroes can't rise on their own,

Only students can be taught,
Only fools believe in magic,
Every lover has to be bought,
Every death to be tragic,

And on this side there's a light,
Which the wind tosses and blows about,
And like the others, some ni
Who's To Say?Who can say that I am blind,
When the last thing I saw was a land of carefree times,
Who would ever dare to call me old,
When I remember truth being a story often told,
Why would you ever say that I can’t hear,
When I listen to the whispers of yesterday that float so near,
How could someone ever think I can’t feel,
When touch is the magic that separates the make-believe from the real,
Who’s to say that I am dying,
When I’ve never felt more alive.
Welcome To HellShe had closed herself up yet begged for attention for so many years,
Everyone saw but ignored the bruises and raw eyes red from tears,
Quick to notice the scent of alcohol and her scarred wrists,
Everyone had seen the pain but pretended it didn’t exist,
She was pitied but still her ears were yelled in when she got drunk and high,
All that mattered was that she was a stoner; no one wondered why,
It didn’t matter that the reason she sold herself to older guys,
Wasn’t at all like the rumors and the stupid lies,
She had to provide for her little sister since she was born,
Bought her ballet slippers instead of food for he
The Sickness In My HeartWhen anger is hunger,
I strive to feel your throat,
You sense the danger,
I feed off your fear.

I raise my blade,
Aimed to kill,
As the light begins to fade,
I play out my sick will.

Such warm, salty blood drips to the ground,
I feel a movement in my arms,
& as I stare down,
I realize you’re alive.

I take my twisted hands,
They slither around your neck,
In one quick motion I snap it,
I never meant for you to suffer.

I kiss you good-bye,
Sit there holding your lifeless form,
It’s my turn to die,
& screaming bloody wishes,
I drive the knife threw my heart.

Drowning

:iconflatlineonsteroids:

She tells it all when she’s drunk,
Truth coming out with tears,
Showing how low she’s sunk,
Drowning in wasted years,

Wishing on stars long since fallen,
Slipping on her old lies,
She regrets ignoring her calling,
Seeing through unfocused eyes,

She could have been a model,
She should have went to college,
It doesn’t take a therapist to tell,
She’s been thrown off the edge,

Stuck in this town with her time,
Living for the end of the day,
She searches the bottom of her glass,
For some relief from the pain,

Its not living, just existing,
A cage without a door,
And if someone were to listen,
They’d see she can’t take anymore.

Well, this was one of the poems I wanted to post.

I hope no one is disappointed.
