A CONSTELLATION OF SCARSUpon my skin I have carved Star after Star,
sewn together in this abused tissue and misused sinew
they chart the path I had taken, a Constellation of Scars
glimmer on my skin, slices of silver that whisper too few
earthbound eclipses for me to see by, but I stitch a reply
with the 39 pinpricks of light that escape my veins,
was Virgo with me that Night when my maidenhead cried?
Did she cry too when I tried to rescue my maiden's remains
from being a sacrifice to Solstice Fires? Artemis was there,
but in the aftermath so was Regret and Remorse I realized,
so now I carve Star after Star in my flesh no longer fair,

Honesty Written

PerfectEver had the feeling where you can't stop looking at a picture?
Your gorgeous face makes me smile
Go weak at the knees
Makes me giggle like a little girl

Those morning texts
All day conversations
Random silly things like that
Make me smile

I see the led light flash the colours I've set for when I get a message from you
My heart flutters
My cheeks flush
I go deaf to the world when I'm reading a message from you

If your down
I'm always there for you
I know you don't want to worry me
I know you want me to smile
But I'm always here for you
No matter how you feel
I'd prefer to help
Than for you to be down

Your gorgeous eyes
Are mesmerising

I'll let you in...I'll let you in... I'll tell you my deepest secrets.
Share with you the things I've hidden.
Fantasies and day dreams,
things I wish would could come true.

I'll let you in... I'll admit things I haven't before.
Tell you sincerely how I really feel.
Uncertainty and love collide,
as if I could avoid the complications by remaining mute.

I'll let you in... I'll trust you completely.
Release the fear of getting hurt.
Depending and relying upon,
not thinking about the consequences.

I'll let you in... and I'll try my absolute best.
Begin to truly make an effort.
Frustration and confusion no matter,
time to simply wing it and hope it works.I'll let you in...17 hours ago in Free Verse

Save MeI am a tormented poet like the rest of my brothers
Understand that we each have a dark bother

Old friend of mine,
I have committed so many sins
Like you have too and carry within
I went ahead and left you behind
But still I speak to your heart and mind
For that you lie to me and say that you're fine

Dear friend of mine,
Enlighten me once more
So I can give our road some more shine
If you hate me, it's alright
For that you shall always remain my comrade
Despite the wrong reasons of your combat

Oh friend of mine,
Please show me a sign
One that tells me that you're still there
For that I'm afraid to walk this path alone
Please, show me that ySave Me18 hours ago in Free Verse

MissingThe Mind.
It is a fragile thing.

It is the part of you
That can be hurt
Without Physical Damage.

As an adolescent
The mind is more fragile.
As a infant
There are no words
No sounds
To describe the life you live.
To form the memories.
The child's mind does not know everything
Cannot explain everything
Cannot realize everything.
But, in hindsight,
Something may have been wrong.
It can't be explained.
There is nothing there.
There has to be a reason.
There has to be and explanation
for my fears.
Nothing happened to me.
Not that I remember.
A child who suffers
May forget it all together.
The nightmares.
The suffering.
Trying to put it all away.
To shut it in a box.
To make it go away.
On the surface
I see something there.
Something I can't remember.
Something gone from my memory.
As if it were
Missing.
Tears still flow.
Shivering in warm nights.
Fearing something that
I don't know is there.
Afraid of reliving something that
I canMissing22 hours ago in Free Verse

The wallsWalls of fear and anger well up around me.
Growing taller and taller.
Reaching the sky, and mingling with the smog,
That bellows forth from the factory where my
peace of mind is being burned.

I huddle in the center of my prison.
I collect the bits and pieces of my soul,
That are not broken.
That can be salvaged.
I shake.
I bite my lip so hard, that I taste blood.
There is something inside me.
I want to be free of this monster.
The one that knows everything.
The one that laughs at my
feeble attempts to be strong.

The walls never waver.
They stand, a looming presence.
An impending doom.
Each brick built out of insecurities,

Trust.When I was younger
I trusted
everyone.

But the older I got
and the more
life I lived,

the
colder
I
grew.

And they tell me
I need
to learn to let people in,

That my ways are
ruining my life.

They tell me
I don't trust easy
because my
parents left me

And because I'm
the empty shell of who
I once was,
even though I
cannot be sure who that
ever was

Maybe that's all true.

But I don't
trust anyone
because of the gentle kisses
that turned to
tears of goodbye
on secret autumn nights,

Where lies felt a lot like the truth.

And the boy who's
hand I wanted to hold
but he wanted to hold
something
very different

Ignition3 months before...
A simple waiting room in the hospital.
I see you across the room
I stare, observing your complexion
You look towards me
I have to look away.
We've known each other for years
But I still can’t look you in the eyes.
I'm too angry.

2 months before...
Same setting.
You stare, observing my lameness.
I look towards you.
You look away.
I wonder why.
I want to ask, but I can’t find the courage.
I’m still too angry.

1 month before...
Same place.
I look to the ground, feeling depressed.
I just lost my dog; got ran over.
But I just hide my tears.
I glance at you; you too are looking to the ground.

I am not a poetWhen I write
I write from the heart
But I'm not a poet
And I'm no good at art
I am no poet
And clearly can't spel
Well let's just face it
My poetry is hell
I don't write for money
I can't spit a rime
I write about life
And how I feel at the time
It helps me think
And feel accomplished for once
Because everywhere else
I feel like a dunce
But now I'm faced
With a cursed spell
When I'm down in the gutters
My work spells out hell
And as time grows tough
And my poetry crumbles
My erg to write
Causes me to fumble
As I keep in mind
Some things should stay hidden
For what I have seen
Can leave quite a mark
So when I write
Something funny on line
There's quite a chance
I've something else on mind
And if I'm slow
With my poetry to come
It's because my life
Has settled some
But let me clarify
Again once more
I am no poet
Though my sorrows may poor
And I'm not an artist
Just a kid with stress
And I don't write for money
But to fight off detestI am not a poet18 hours ago in Free Verse

My life is a battle
Meant for just me
For I am a monster
That lacks purity

No one.
No one!
Wants to stand with me.

But you!
You are so strange
You are always beside me

When the world all gives up
You stay to guide me

Why do you care?
I am no angel
Why are you always there?
Do you not realize the danger?!

It's not that I hate you!
No, it's not what you believe
Instead I am in love with you
But must protect you, you see.

For my life is a battle
Meant just for me.

Can't We All Just Get Along?Can’t we all just get along?

These few words echo through my head.

When I lay down to go to bed,

my eyes are turning red.

I try to find the meaning,

It just can’t be true.

I wish it could be.

I wish honesty would break through.

I find it very strange.

I find it very sad.

I’d just like to talk to them,

I hope they don’t get mad.

What I want to do,

Is to convince you,

That it really is messed up.

It’d be nice, you know.

If we could all just get along.

Because the way we treat each other;

it really is just wrong.Can't We All Just Get Along?5 hours ago in Free Verse

GhostsShe's alone and sad
She's scared and hurt.
She just misses her dad
Who's under the dirt.

Every night she cries
Hoping for some release.
But she can't fight the ghosts,
She can't put them to peace.

She's losing herself,
Slowly slipping away.
All her friends are gone
They didn't want to stay.

Her heart's broken inside
She hopes someone will see.
But her heart is locked up,
and she threw away the key.

Now she's going away
To escape all this madness.
Because her entire life
She only felt sadness.

They Come At NightThey come at night.
Sneak upon me.
Then pin me down.

Those thoughts....

I'm
Hated.
Unloved.
Ignored.
Lost.

I gasp for air,
cry out in pain and hurt.

when noone's there

Goodbye, Love AlwaysI promised to always stick by your side
Never leave
You promised the same
And I plead
Don't leave me
Please believe
I need you
I need you
I'm nothing without you
Please
Please
But you don't care
And I cannot bare
To stay here and die
From you foolish passerby
You left me in the dust
Left me in that cast
And I lay on the road
Defenseless and cold
But anyways
It's time for my end
My dear friend...

NightThe dark night,
A deep blue,
Made up with lights,
The city,
As it sleeps,
I remain awake. Night16 hours ago in Free Verse

Shadows from the PastThe shadows from the past cling tightly around you,
unrelenting and holding onto you as if for dear life,
and yet they are what's causing you the most hardship.
Suffocating in their bittersweet embrace,
chills running up your arms from the cool-hearted memories they bring.
Laughter, true happiness, and smiling are all absent,
replaced with nightmares and haunting hallucinations.
Tortured by all of the darkness swirling in a thick cloud,
you're unable to escape the havoc they wreck.
Attempting to shake off their arms of invisible steel is useless,
it's in vain that you even bother to try anymore after so long of no result.

Behind a SmileSitting behind a smile,
Pretending it’s all ok,
Can’t find anything,
but my sorrow.

I’m too scared, to tell you.
For you, I want to do it,
But I can’t do anything.
After time, I’m still just as weak,

Sitting behind a smile,
This sorrow is too much,
I can’t take any more,
I don’t want to feel anyone’s touch.
I just want to forget it all.
Then tomorrow,
I will hide behind a smile.

When someone will rise up,
I will still be back here,
My peers see me happy,
But, oh, they have never been so wrong.
Sitting here,
Behind a wall of emotions, ready to fall.

The backlash is coming,
But when will it Behind a Smile18 hours ago in Free Verse
