"They think they know you
The bubbly blonde
The smartest and prettiest girl in the whole school
The head cheerleader
The one who got all the boys
But they dont know how wrong they are...............

You stare in the huge mirror at your pale and sunken cheeks
You see your own rib cage, you've been starving yourself for weeks
The spilled pill bottle, empty on your bed
All the guilty thoughts that roll around in your head
Hiding your smile, with that sparkling white tooth
Putting on makeup to cover up the truth
A plaster smile spread across your face
No one can see through it, your a closed case
I know what your thinking, that knife looks like the open door
Its the only way out, you think as your tears fall to the floor
You think your the only one, facing the world alone
But your wrong because you can always hold me and come home
I will always be there no matter who you are
Cant we play like we used too? Wishing on that sparkling star?
I will stand by you, helping you climb back up
I'll sing to you at nightime....feed you through a sippy cup...
I just want to help, dont push me away
Because even if you do, Im your freind....and here to stay" -dark_poet116

TRUE! nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why WILL you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? Hearken! and observe how healthily, how calmly, I can tell you the whole story.

It is impossible to say how first the idea entered my brain, but, once conceived, it haunted me day and night. Object there was none. Passion there was none. I loved the old man. He had never wronged me. He had never given me insult. For his gold I had no desire. I think it was his eye! Yes, it was this! One of his eyes resembled that of a vulture -- a pale blue eye with a film over it. Whenever it fell upon me my blood ran cold, and so by degrees, very gradually, I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and thus rid myself of the eye for ever.

Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded -- with what caution -- with what foresight, with what dissimulation, I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night about midnight I turned the latch of his door and opened it oh, so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern all closed, closed so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly, very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha! would a madman have been so wise as this? And then when my head was well in the room I undid the lantern cautiously -- oh, so cautiously -- cautiously (for the hinges creaked), I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights, every night just at midnight, but I found the eye always closed, and so it was impossible to do the work, for it was not the old man who vexed me but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber and spoke courageously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see he would have been a very profound old man, indeed , to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept.

Upon the eighth night I was more than usually cautious in opening the door. A watch's minute hand moves more quickly than did mine. Never before that night had I felt the extent of my own powers, of my sagacity. I could scarcely contain my feelings of triumph. To think that there I was opening the door little by little, and he not even to dream of my secret deeds or thoughts. I fairly chuckled at the idea, and perhaps he heard me, for he moved on the bed suddenly as if startled. Now you may think that I drew back -- but no. His room was as black as pitch with the thick darkness (for the shutters were close fastened through fear of robbers), and so I knew that he could not see the opening of the door, and I kept pushing it on steadily, steadily.

I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening , and the old man sprang up in the bed, crying out, "Who's there?"

I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed, listening; just as I have done night after night hearkening to the death watches in the wall.

Presently, I heard a slight groan, and I knew it was the groan of mortal terror. It was not a groan of pain or of grief -- oh, no! It was the low stifled sound that arises from the bottom of the soul when overcharged with awe. I knew the sound well. Many a night, just at midnight, when all the world slept, it has welled up from my own bosom, deepening, with its dreadful echo, the terrors that distracted me. I say I knew it well. I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him although I chuckled at heart. I knew that he had been lying awake ever since the first slight noise when he had turned in the bed. His fears had been ever since growing upon him. He had been trying to fancy them causeless, but could not. He had been saying to himself, "It is nothing but the wind in the chimney, it is only a mouse crossing the floor," or, "It is merely a cricket which has made a single chirp." Yes he has been trying to comfort himself with these suppositions ; but he had found all in vain. ALL IN VAIN, because Death in approaching him had stalked with his black shadow before him and enveloped the victim. And it was the mournful influence of the unperceived shadow that caused him to feel, although he neither saw nor heard, to feel the presence of my head within the room.

When I had waited a long time very patiently without hearing him lie down, I resolved to open a little -- a very, very little crevice in the lantern. So I opened it -- you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily -- until at length a single dim ray like the thread of the spider shot out from the crevice and fell upon the vulture eye.

It was open, wide, wide open, and I grew furious as I gazed upon it. I saw it with perfect distinctness -- all a dull blue with a hideous veil over it that chilled the very marrow in my bones, but I could see nothing else of the old man's face or person, for I had directed the ray as if by instinct precisely upon the damned spot.

And now have I not told you that what you mistake for madness is but over-acuteness of the senses? now, I say, there came to my ears a low, dull, quick sound, such as a watch makes when enveloped in cotton. I knew that sound well too. It was the beating of the old man's heart. It increased my fury as the beating of a drum stimulates the soldier into courage.

But even yet I refrained and kept still. I scarcely breathed. I held the lantern motionless. I tried how steadily I could maintain the ray upon the eye. Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder, every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment! -- do you mark me well? I have told you that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror. Yet, for some minutes longer I refrained and stood still. But the beating grew louder, louder! I thought the heart must burst. And now a new anxiety seized me -- the sound would be heard by a neighbour! The old man's hour had come! With a loud yell, I threw open the lantern and leaped into the room. He shrieked once -- once only. In an instant I dragged him to the floor, and pulled the heavy bed over him. I then smiled gaily, to find the deed so far done. But for many minutes the heart beat on with a muffled sound. This, however, did not vex me; it would not be heard through the wall. At length it ceased. The old man was dead. I removed the bed and examined the corpse. Yes, he was stone, stone dead. I placed my hand upon the heart and held it there many minutes. There was no pulsation. He was stone dead. His eye would trouble me no more.

If still you think me mad, you will think so no longer when I describe the wise precautions I took for the concealment of the body. The night waned, and I worked hastily, but in silence.

I took up three planks from the flooring of the chamber, and deposited all between the scantlings. I then replaced the boards so cleverly so cunningly, that no human eye -- not even his -- could have detected anything wrong. There was nothing to wash out -- no stain of any kind -- no blood-spot whatever. I had been too wary for that.

When I had made an end of these labours, it was four o'clock -- still dark as midnight. As the bell sounded the hour, there came a knocking at the street door. I went down to open it with a light heart, -- for what had I now to fear? There entered three men, who introduced themselves, with perfect suavity, as officers of the police. A shriek had been heard by a neighbour during the night; suspicion of foul play had been aroused; information had been lodged at the police office, and they (the officers) had been deputed to search the premises.

I smiled, -- for what had I to fear? I bade the gentlemen welcome. The shriek, I said, was my own in a dream. The old man, I mentioned, was absent in the country. I took my visitors all over the house. I bade them search -- search well. I led them, at length, to his chamber. I showed them his treasures, secure, undisturbed. In the enthusiasm of my confidence, I brought chairs into the room, and desired them here to rest from their fatigues, while I myself, in the wild audacity of my perfect triumph, placed my own seat upon the very spot beneath which reposed the corpse of the victim.

The officers were satisfied. My MANNER had convinced them. I was singularly at ease. They sat and while I answered cheerily, they chatted of familiar things. But, ere long, I felt myself getting pale and wished them gone. My head ached, and I fancied a ringing in my ears; but still they sat, and still chatted. The ringing became more distinct : I talked more freely to get rid of the feeling: but it continued and gained definitiveness -- until, at length, I found that the noise was NOT within my ears.

No doubt I now grew VERY pale; but I talked more fluently, and with a heightened voice. Yet the sound increased -- and what could I do? It was A LOW, DULL, QUICK SOUND -- MUCH SUCH A SOUND AS A WATCH MAKES WHEN ENVELOPED IN COTTON. I gasped for breath, and yet the officers heard it not. I talked more quickly, more vehemently but the noise steadily increased. I arose and argued about trifles, in a high key and with violent gesticulations; but the noise steadily increased. Why WOULD they not be gone? I paced the floor to and fro with heavy strides, as if excited to fury by the observations of the men, but the noise steadily increased. O God! what COULD I do? I foamed -- I raved -- I swore! I swung the chair upon which I had been sitting, and grated it upon the boards, but the noise arose over all and continually increased. It grew louder -- louder -- louder! And still the men chatted pleasantly , and smiled. Was it possible they heard not? Almighty God! -- no, no? They heard! -- they suspected! -- they KNEW! -- they were making a mockery of my horror! -- this I thought, and this I think. But anything was better than this agony! Anything was more tolerable than this derision! I could bear those hypocritical smiles no longer! I felt that I must scream or die! -- and now -- again -- hark! louder! louder! louder! LOUDER! --

"Villains!" I shrieked, "dissemble no more! I admit the deed! -- tear up the planks! -- here, here! -- it is the beating of his hideous heart!"
 -Edgar Allen Poe(the tell-tale heart)


Hope is lost
Lost to another shore.
All that matters
Gone evermore.
Need to reclaim
To complete who I was,
Who I am.
Never will be
Without Hope there, beside.
Help me find
I can't do it alone.
All these feelings inside
That I just cannot shut out
Will not.
They burn within my heart, mind, soul.
Always with me.
Constant torture
Without Hope.
A scorching load
Naught can quell.
Pain increasing
I need relief.
Suffocating from despair.
Thick dark clouds
No salvation in sight.
Yearning for Hope
Standing there,
Awaiting me.
Take me from the shadows
Let me feel you,
Shining.
But you won't.
Hope is lost,
Lost to another shore.
What I need most
Never mine evermore. -anonomous

Love vs Marriage
All consuming
Breathe it.
Taste it.
Feel it.
You know it's there.
Alwaya there.
You cannot escape.
Wouldn't want to.
Strong like the diamond
You wear like  achain.
Binding you
Marking you sold.
Eternal like the God
You allow to govern ceremony.
Admit yourself
Below and insignificant.
Safe like the Church
Open to all.
Those who believe
Those that don't and amusement seek.
Feel a need.
Now.
You're being stifled.
Confined to control.
Prisoner in your own life.
Must break away
From servitude and eternity.
Impossible you know.
You feel it
Taste it
Breathe it
And know you can't live without it there
Suffocating you. -anonomous

Living the Lie
Take me
Away from here.
I can't stand this pretence
Any longer.
She smiles
Another lie I'm expected
To believe.
She lives life
False and fake.
With all appearance of reality.
She speaks
Seriously believing that we don't see
Through her.
She lies
Naturally to make herself seem special.
Truth hurts.
I can't listen
It hurts she needs to lie
To me.
I can't know
What's truth or not...
Believe nothing
I can't open
Myself to her false visage
Need the person within.
I can't see
Where to go from here.
Something will happen,
Be assured
I can't understand
She thinks us ignorant enough
To believe
I can't trust
My friend who I don't know
At all.
Live in hope
She will one day
Admit and undo.
I'll be there
Waiting, as always
To find the real her. -anonomous

Schizophrenia
Secrets I hide.
Dreams I am ashamed of.
Aspirations I fear
Thoughts not sane.
Feelings unnatural
Run through my veins.
Ideas, disturbing.
Memories not my own
Terrified faces
Of what I don't know.
Constant pressure
Malevolence within.
Events missed in person
Yet somehow in memory.
Emotions derived from unknown events.
Hatred to love,
No understanding why.
Unable to control outbursts
Alienated and alone.
Others stay away
Though less scared than I.
My mind turns,
Daily against itself
Nothing I can do.
Live with the torment,
No way out.
Half of my life lived
By another.
Another me,
Yet different.
Cannot understand
Cannot comprehend.
Another person's means
Achieve the same end.
-me

Depression and darkness
No one to turn to
My heart says there's someone
But doesn't know who
Don't think there's anyone
That cares about me
I believe that alone
Is what I'm destined to be
A rainy fall day
The gift of foresight
A red sun is rising
Out of nowhere
Daylight.
What is this heavenly
Gift from above?
Could it be anything
Other than love?
Never expected
As I wildly dreamed
Any one boy
Could be more than he seemed
Appeared in a flash that was
Blinding to sight
Delivered from darkness
Into the
Daylight

Shadows of a live I’m never truly living.
Blind to everyone trying to help.
Only see those evil glances,
On faces I once new as a friend’s.
Where have they gone,
My soul has gone with them.
And their faces are a blur,
Empty memories gone by,
Am I truly living,
or is this another trance?
-me

My best friend forever,
but forever ran so short.
Left me in your sorrow,
Knew not what else to do.
You chose the wrong path,
so why does your voice always ring in my head?
I hear it when i'm alone and fearing what's ahead.
-me

Nothing
Destroy my life,
Take away my pain,
For in this life I have nothing to gain.
Nothing to hope for
Nothing to see
No reason to stand under the old oak tree.
No reason to dream of summers to come,
Of places to visit,
Of the light of the sun.
Destroy my life
Take away my pain
Cleanse my soul
Make me whole again.
Take away my saddness
Take away my need.
Take away my sickness
Take away my greed.
Destroy my life,
Take away my pain.
Bury me now
You won't be to blame.
For, I'm already dead,
As dead as can be.
Like the poor deer lying
Beneath the old oak tree.-anonymous



There is a silence in the air
As I listen from my window.
Something stirs out there,
In that void of black.
And as I turn away,
Something calls me back.
I want to go,
But a voice inside says no.
A silent voice whispering in my ears,
But drowned out by all the tears
Cut off by all my fears.
That volcano inside finally erupts.
Molten sorrow in the air
Ash of mourning everywhere.
Lava from my dark desires
Earthquakes forged from angry fires.
I am left alone now,
Wandering through the ashen clouds.
All the rubble at my feet
Destruction of my inner being.
Everything kept hidden now revealed,
All of the life that I kept sealed.
Now the window is closed tight,
Now I can withdraw into the night.-me




Oblique and perceptive
Skin whiter than pale.
A mind rarely found,
But when discovered jailed.
An innocent animal crushed,
No more than a rat in a cage.
Hiding her emotions completely,
Blanketed to keep other's rage.
A stone cold face,
As hard as diamond ice.
Eyes wide with frustration
Maliciously clicking the dice.
Living in twisted shadows,
Tightly clutching Russian dreams.
In her white scarred arms
Meticulously torn to the seems.
Dissapointed at the world
For spawning nought but hate.
Not all become enlightened and
She is left to carry the weight.
Day by day, dwelling on life,
Others oblivious to sorrow.
Living life without thought to reason
Unfulfilled and forever hollow.
She crouches in shadows
Seeking sactity in the dark.
With realisation comes depression,
Always alone with others bark.
She has no-one to confide in,
Does anyone feel the same?
Or is she all alone
As she sees the world create more pain?
On the surface appearing tainted,
Living with melancholly means.
Gifted with words and insight,
Balancing sanity on the beam.
-anonymous

Always inscribing thoughts and perceptions
Others are unable to see.
Quietly scribbling the horrors around us.
Insignificant, to us, as a tree.
Misunderstood and brilliant,
A beautiful mind contained.
Blessed with endless intellect
Cursed with knowledge's pain.
-anonymous

Cloud full of poison
Gentle rain burns my skin.
Memories of you,
Permanently marked for all to see.
My damaged fragile body.
The canvas you used
To show your pain.
Gashes formed from scarlet openings.
Incisions gave a river that helped
Rest your mind.
Destroying mine.
White scars left from blazing blades
Forced upon my brittle skin.
Burning my visage to give you
More confidence in your own.
-me

Affected
By the death of someone
I didn't know.
Remembering
Their smile I never saw.
Recalling
Their voice I never heard.
Missing
The embraces I was never part of.
Feeling the loss
Sensing the sorrow.
Enduring the emptiness
Their demise has caused.
Feeling for you
Regretting I can't help.
Empathising inside
For what you shouldn't have to bear.
Mourning the end of someone I didn't know.
-anonymous

Midnight,
Shadows darting across my wall.
Only blackness,
Only silence.
No one to hear me cry when I fall.
What happened to all the hopes,
I used to dream about?
Where did they go,
And what is left?
Where is that happy girl,
that smiling face?
Now there’s nothing left but misery and woe.
The clock strikes one,
and I’m waiting in silence.
No more dreams to dream,
No more hopes to hope.
No more reasons to wish upon that twinkling star.
What happened too my life,
Why do I wish no more.
Not truly living,
But never gone.
Dusk enters my life,
Shadows creep up.
I hold in my suffering,
But it only leads to more.
Where is my will to live,
And when can I die?
Shadows overtake me,
making it impossible to see where my path leads.
-me

A Trance, A Lie:

Footsteps echo, breaking the silence.
But no one walks by.
A light flickers on,
But nothing is lit.
My imagination playing tricks on me,
Only seeing what I want to see.
Why can’t I just die?

Echoes of words unspoken.
Memories of moments never shared.
I go on living, yet living in a trance.
Deaf to what I don’t want to hear.
Blind to what I don’t want to see.
What is going on with me,
And why can’t I die?

Friends that I never met.
Family I’ve never seen.
Shadows of a life I’m never truly living.
Whispers from an unseen mouth.
Light shining in total darkness,
The darkness of my soul.

Nothing left to hope.
Nothing left to dream.
Wishes left to die on the shelf.
What happened to me?
Why can’t I smile anymore?
My path isn’t an open door.

Feelings, something’s taking over me.
There’s a fog hanging around my heart.
I’m no longer an open book.
You don’t just come inside and look.
A coldness pierces through my heart,
And the world seems dark.

Memories of a life I’m never truly living.
Answers I never truly understand.
Hiding everything with one forced smile,
But the lies stretch out for miles.
Life is a lie,
And death is pointless.
What’s left for me?

Nothing to lie for,
And nothing left to do.
My whole life ahead of me,
Yet already I am dead.
Only living inside my head.
How long can I pretend,
How long can I go on,
Am I just some God’s pawn?

Pain, stabbing through me.
Guilt, done some bad things.
Lies, friends never truly there.
How long can I push it all aside?
Can’t leave it anymore.
To rot on my bedroom floor.

The end to a beginning.
How can I go on?
The fire inside of me,
Is loosing its glow.
Only a spark is left,
And dying slow.

Is this the end of me,
Are you seeing right through me?
It’s hard to understand.
Can’t focus, just loosing concentration.
Can’t care, my heart is empty.
My life is a struggle, a lie.

Friends that have left,
Family that will never understand.
One voice, standing out in my mind.
And memories flood back.
But the memories aren’t mine.
Something’s missing from me.
Something’s not how it used to be.

If I died,
What would it prove?
If I live,
What good will it do?
Where is my path,
I must form my own.
But what will lie ahead,
And when will it all end? -me (there is an inside meaning to why this one is so long)

Feelings, something’s taking over me
Taking everything, I'm no longer free.
Whispers from an unheard voice
Telling lies I must believe,
I have no choice.
Dreams left on a shelf to rust
Hopes sitting, collecting dust.
Something is controlling me
Never seeing what I want to see
When am I to be set free?
-me
