Shh. (Extended)Shh, and hear the silent scream
Of the girl you used to be.

Blink; let her flash before your eyes
Let her smile take you by surprise.

Isn't the sight of those curved lips strange?
Stranger - how quickly this life can change.

Notice how she doesn't reek of pain.
The purity of her soul is difficult to obtain.

Wait...do echoes of the past have a soul?

Never.Never
Give her
Your mirror
Again.

She hates
her own face

Grimacing at the
Reflection.

Prodding
Poking
Never satisfied.

Time after time
Trying
Trying

to tell her
She's beautiful.

"No,
I'm not,"
she says.

It's better
to just

Never
Give her
a mirror
Again.

Color me prettyColor me pretty
Paint me divine
Draw on a smile
Prove I am fine
Give me the rainbow
Grow me the sun
Vanish the raindrops
Let us stay young

Immortal ButterflyImmortal Butterfly:

I remember the Immortal Butterfly
Translucent wings that drank from the sky
Glittering dust would fall with every flap
Like warm tears dripped upon my tiny back

I would always chase this butterfly
as it makes its way across the sky
When I look I feel as though I can forget
The painful needles that twist into my back

I would always dream of this butterfly
and I wonder if I could ride it and fly in the sky
When I dream about it, I don't regret
Not being able to leave this tiny bed

Sometimes I can't see the butterfly
My vision turns grey like a stormy sky
I get scared during those times, because it makes me thi

Ink GravesLetterless words and pageless books-
and ink blots on the flowers;
Ghosts scratch their heads and tap their pens,
all across the hours.

Winds can howl and cease to be,
by one twitch of my pen;
I spoke of writing a poem tonight,
and by dawn I've written ten.

Emily sits aside nobody,
the Raven, above, waits;
Frost dances in a yellow wood,
among the long lost dates.

A tall, well spoken willow,
looms over the grave;
Protecting every dated word,
and every thought they gave.

I crumple another masterpiece,
with thoughts I'd thought to save;
and as it strikes the baset bottom,
it rests in its ink grave.

Broken TrustYou talk to me like you know whats wrong,
Like you haven't known it all along
This pain that I feel inside,
The one that slowly eats away at my pride
It's all because of you my dear,
This life that I live, the way that I fear
You say you won't leave,
You make me believe
But then you turn,
When will I ever learn?
I should never trust a word that you say.

The Artist.I am an artist.
I wonder how to fill this blank paper.
I hear footfalls and bird calls; they speak to me.
I see the finest characteristics, unnoticed by others.
I want to capture the world.
I am an artist.
I pretend to be someone else, something else, just for a while.
I feel fulfilled as long as there's a pencil in my hand.
I touch the brush with a loving stroke.
I worry that the block will strike me forever.
I cry as my soul drowns in my own words.
I am an artist.
I understand that improvement is a never-ending road.
I say to never, ever stop imagining, creating.
I dream of a skill that can only be aquired, fine-tuned, by prac

Can I Cut Yet?Can I Cut Yet?:

Hey, Hey Sadako
Hey...
I really want to cut something
can I, can I please?
This girl is talking to me, she seems rather nice
The colour of her eyes makes me think of fucking lice
I want to cut her, I want to cut her so bad!
but that seems to make Sadako really sad...
Okay, I guess I won't cut her

Hey, Hey Sadako
This teacher is really boring
I want to cut him, I WANT TO CUT HIM SO BAD!
I'm in class now, Sadako stands beside me
She points out a mistake I made in my notes
I start tearing at the paper while grinding my teeth
I want to show them my frustration, OH SO BAD!
but that seems to make Sadako really sad..

The Boy With the GlassesThe boy with the glasses
Puts them on
And sees the world
For what it truly is

Cruelty, loneliness
He sees
Anger, frustration
He sees

And it is all too much
He can't take
Their expectations
Their rules, their ways

He would rather just see the world
Through his own blinded eyes
So he takes the glasses off
Not wanting to see
He takes the glasses off
To forget.

SorrowSorrow is loving

someone so much,

But knowing you

can never have them.

A Knight With No ShieldLook at me and think I'm weak
If a knight in shining armor is what you seek
Look away, for I'll just hide
It's not my day. I've lost my pride
I can't fight off the monsters underneath your bed
I can't heal your wounds of deep blood red
I can't shine light on all that is dark
I can't shield you from all danger and harm
I will, of course, care if you are to die
I will say a prayer
and I will of course, cry
I will wish I'd done more to save you from this fate
I will wish I'd been there, kept you from that state
I will regret every second I hadn't said more
I will wish I'd kept our bond, all I was living for

In The Pouring RainThe raindrops feel like tears as they glisten,
And I feel like I've come here to listen.
The sky has come to sing me a song
And I don't even care that it took too long.
I'm content to this perfect cold that I feel.
For a while, I can drown out everything that is real
Just to pretend nothing's wrong with the world.
I'll open up and let the wings come unfurled.
The raindrops quicken their descent to the ground
And I can hear voices begin to resound.
An ember glows from somewhere deep within
That makes me dare to feel hope again.
I don't want to believe, but in a moment I know
Eventually, I will have to go,
Say goodbye to the peace

scaredi hope you're chasing all your dreams,
but if you are, then you're asleep,
so i hope i get the chance to wake you up.

i'm not scared to fall in love,
i'm just scared of lying
and dying next to someone i don't even
really know.
and that's why i made kirrah sleep on the floor.

i'm scared of seeing lots of blood and
scared of being crazy,
i'm scared i'll ask you please to call me,
and all you'll say is 'maybe.'
scared of televisions because they're the
biggest
thing in
the room

mostly i'm just scared of you.

HollowSo many questions that I don't know the answer to,

But I feel like it's better that I don't know the truth,

For they would probably eat at my head,

Hollow it out from end to end,

Take control of my mind,

If those answers I were to find,

Root themselves deep within my skull,

And grow until they were full,

Full of contempt and disgust,

Disgust that I gave you my trust,

While it still may enter my thoughts,

It's better than being controlled like a robot,

A simple sentence could free my mind,

Or cause it all to collapse and unwind,

But I guess that's the gamble that I'll take,

Because lately I've grown to hate,

Hate the things tha

Beat Me Til I See HellRepeating, repeating, of a carnival beating,
There is no remorse, only laughter and cheating,
I've always loved all the people I've hated,
And always watching your heart become so berated,
Your filthy gods will spit in your throat,
Beg for forgiveness, so forgive you I won't,

Strangling, dangling,and asking for mercy,
Just beat me, just beat me, so that I may feel,
Reality is wrong, so show me what is for real,
Just beat me, and reap me,
Until I see hell..

Theres a, pretty little flower with your name on it,
In bloom and it's full of shit,
Forcefield is blocking,
And no one will stop me,
Before I push them all away...

Missing You

Missing You

When I close my eyes, I see you.
Standing before me, bright and true.
I swallow hard, hold back a tear.
I can't conquer the pain
Of you being here.

I miss you, I miss you too much.
I can't stop feeling this adrenaline rush.
Deep down inside, my strength is waning.
I can't take it;
My heart is breaking.

Y'know, I haven't seen you in a while.
The memories we have make me smile.
I wonder if we could start over again.
To get things back
To the way they were, back then.

I wonder if we could dance together.
I wish our friendship could've lasted forever.
It is definitely worth fighting for.
Do you know why?
It's becau

I Am

I am the girl with chocolate brown eyes.
I wonder where my life will take me.
I hear the honks, but also the birds.
I see the joy in my mother's eyes when I come home.
I want health and happiness for my family.
I am a girl with passions, hopes and goals.

I pretend to be someone else.
I feel his lips upon my own.
I touch the pencil as I spill my heart to paper.
I worry of poverty, hunger, disaster.
I cry at the sight of suffering.
I am an ordinary girl with extraordinary dreams.

I understand that I must be generous with love.
I say that there's always something to smile about.
I dream of a new adventure.
I try to discover

Once Upon a Fairytale

Once Upon a Fairytale

Once upon a fairytale,
I believed in you.
I believed in happy endings,
In a love that was true.

Once upon a fairytale,
I thought that Mr. Right
Would come riding upon a high white horse,
To take me away into the night.

Once upon a fairytale,
I believed in dancing in the clouds
In a long, pink, flowing gown
Dancing high and proud.

Once upon a fairytale,
I believed in finding forever
Right away, the very first time
However . . .

Fairytales don't exist.
They're a mere twist
To reality.

There's no prince to sweep me off my feet,
Lead me up the stairwell.

Now I know...
My life isn't a fairytale.

12th Sept. 2012 EDIT: Finally extended it! You can find it here: [link]

I thought of this when I was in the shower. xD
I'm not sure why, really. I was actually thinking of poses, for some reason, and I thought of one with a girl with her finger to her mouth, lips only slightly pursed.
And somehow, my train of thought just jumped ahead, like, ten cars and came to this. xD
Should I expand on it? Or should I leave it the way it is? Advice would be greatly appreciated!
I'm going to put this for now as #79 in 100 Themes, 'Quiet'. If I do extend this, then I will replace it witht he extended version.

I personally think it's way too short, like it's quoting something from a bigger piece. Like something you'd post in your signature, not give its own deviation.

Yeah, I'm planning on extending it. Actally this was supposed to be the first two lines of a poem, but I got stuck and decided to see if I could make it work on its own.
