The days pass by and I find myself alone
Still in shock, still questioning the reasoning,
Apart from you I am lost and shaking
Feeling a sense of worthlessness and despair,
And I will never see the quiet ever again.
Hate and rage fills my little body
And I begin to tremble in the icy cold rain
Yet I am heated and uncontrolled.
Stepping forward, falling back
I see my mistake as I fall forever, never ceasing.
And I will never see the quiet again.
They come for us, you and I
They fall away from us, you and I
What they want I cannot give and you do not have,
I have brought this pain and agony to your life,
Forgive me, I am evil,
I have no answers, I know not of myself
Anything that would help or bring even the slightest bit of happiness.
I will never see the quiet ever again.
I am pinned down, revealed unwillingly,
Open to the human beings that do nothing but take,
Pushing, shoving, thrusting, and twisting,
I feel my body giving in,
Stop fighting, stop the struggle,
Let them have what they want; it’ll be over soon.
“Just lay there, be a good little girl,
Daddy will be done soon if you cooperate.”
And I will never see the quiet again.
More and more come to me
As if I have the resources,
To take on every man’s internal army of hate and despair,
When all in all I am alike and just as confused.
I still insist a hand of love and an open mind
Finding that I can help them, but in disgust
Cannot help myself.
I will never see the quiet ever again.
I am not like I was before
I refuse to let these games evade me
Consume me
Take everything from me that I hold dear
As the night draws to an end
I find myself alone
Helpless and scared
These emotions slowly show themselves
Strong, without warning
They devour and take over my soul
I have no will to fight
Every battle seems like a waste of time
And so I am defeated within moments
Quick fleeting moments of time
Long forgotten and forever lost
I lay in the bloody mess of my thoughts
Disembodied from the fight
Nothing seems right
Nothing has meaning any longer
As I find myself alone
And dead to the world
This world that has shunned me
This reality that has hated me
They finally won
I finally gave in
I have no more hope
No more strength
To keep playing these games
To let these games be played
To me, and no one else
And as the night draws to an end
I find myself alone
I find myself dead
The leaves fade from green to brown
As I sit beneath the trees, upon the hill, next to his grave.
The seasons pass by with grace,
The spring, the summer, the fall, and winter.
It doesn’t seem like years since he was here,
It feels like it was just yesterday that he left me here alone.
I can’t blame him and never will I ever,
I can’t blame my family, as it was not their fault either,
Was it God?
Was it time?
Or was it just me.
I watch as flowers bloom around his place,
I watch as the stone becomes wet from the gentle summer’s rain.
The leaves fall gently from the trees,
And the snow covers the stone and freezes over with ice.
I sit there,
Not moving, not wanting to,
I wish to be here, next to him,
So that nothing will ever change,
Nothing will ever go wrong.
But it’s too late.
He has already gone away and he will never return to me.
I lift my arms in the air and scream my pain to anyone that will hear,
But it only echoes in the trees and over the mountains,
Eternally silent to all.
Through this life I stumble
Too many times betrayed
Lost in yearning for truth
Lost in desire of you
The voices trapped inside
As the night becomes my companion
And solitude, my guide
Nothing bleeds as the ropes pulled tight
The chains wrapped furiously
Around my thoughts of freedom
Confusion hungers for truth
Foaming with the coming tide
Bellowing deep from within
Everything is nothing
Nothing is everything
When one last fight might be the last
The complete difference
Between life and death
So leave me to my fate
Insane and alone
Destined to run from it all
As the wall slowly breaks apart
And falls inside my head
Destroying everything . . . . . . .
Destroying me
In search for something to feel
But all is falling
I am falling apart
All because you pushed me out
So then I waited behind the door
So I hid behind the mountain of your thoughts
Wishing, wanting to be somehow found
Before the time came close
For death to turn to fate
And truth be turned into deceit
But the rain is coming
And the thunder has roared
As beneath the fallen leaves you left me
A rotting corpse underneath your skin
I’ll crawl around your heart of stone
And die in your mind from within.
Sitting there, I can feel them breaking, I can feel them giving in,
Constant pressure, no release, no compassion for suffering.
Staring into the sky of imagination I loose myself there,
Only to somehow find that I am really not lost
In this super-natural world that I created.
This is my home, this is who I am,
A freak of nature, a useless creature of torment and misuse.
Longing for the touch of truth and normality
Only to come to me in fleeting glimpses of light,
To do nothing but fade so quickly before I can rise from the pit.
The pit of my unholiness, the pit of destruction,
Consuming my soul with every breath
And tearing apart my mind.
I am tired. I am worn out. I can't seem to find anything that I thought that I was looking for.
The pages are turning themselves while the words slowly dissolve to nothing with each new turned page. The air is growing thinner and the smog, a thick green, as I aimlessly wonder around in circles trying to find my shadow. I, now pale from never letting a ray of sun meet my skin, have grown weak and lost in this great maze to find who I was . . . .who I am.
The pallet lays upon the floor, mud-stained with blood and tears, and in the window the candle light fades from lack of air without a hope admist this scene.
Underneathe the drunken trees, the beast finds her nest; within the sunken meadow grows her anger and fear of all.
The wild boar and panther fight as the night hangs so heavily around; neither will win but neither will lose, as fur and scaly skin falls.
My hut is made of mud and blood; the ceiling laid of arms and hands the colour of a beautiful purple and blue. My meal consists of goblet after goblet of sacred blood that drips from my ceiling in lovely streams of scarlet. Candles are laid throughout and upon the floor of red clay and dirt, as I slowly feed each flame with my flesh and oil.
Pain is not of measurement in torture or curse, but is measured in pleasure and joy as I lay upon the stakes of wood. These stakes, carefully carved by my own hand, are stained with care and healing, hate and rage, splendidness and happier things.
To most, I am part of the unknown, the insane, a waste, the horrid, the shunned. But as for me, I believe that I am part of this world, the misunderstood, the gifted, the beautiful, the welcomed.
If not loved by the human race, I am banished, which I am, to live and try to thrive amongst the spiritual beings in their own, of which I truly am not but strive to be.
Someone has torn my pallet apart, my hut a tattered mess, the boar and panther both lay dead.
I think that I have painted a picture of myself in the remains that I have been left to be seen and known by all.
I am in dreadful need and in terrible confusion. Can someone please interpret my fate? Is this reality or just my dream?
Or is it really my painting?
