Words

Your words.
Are daggers to my heart.
You don't seem to know.
You are tearing me apart.


Your words
Cause me anguish
You allow me
To fall and languish

Your words
Make me break down into tears
You've become
One of my many fears

Your words
Used to bring me joy
But now
They do nothing but destroy





~Angel

Optimistic People

Others don't seem to understand
That optimistic people
Are not always happy
And not always cheerful

We see the world in a better light,
That, you know, is true
But there are very many days
That we, as people, rue.

Everyone has bad days
No exception to that rule
But as optimistic people,
We always make it through.

~Raven

Yes, I'll tell you..

Hold my hand,
Dear child, listen.
And I'll tell you.

I'll tell you,
About the horrors.
I'll tell you,
About the pain.
Yes I'll tell you.

Hold my hand,
Dear child, listen.
And I'll tell you.

I'll tell you,
About the hardships.
I'll tell you,
About the anger.
Yes I'll tell you.

Hold my hand,
Dear child, listen.
And I'll tell you.

I'll tell you,
About real life.
I'll tell you,
About the lies.
Oh, yes, I'll tell you.

Hold my hand,
Dear child, listen.
And I'll tell you.

The world is cruel,
But don't be a fool.
Learn to love.
Flap your wings young dove.

Yes I told you. Oh!
But did you know?
There is still good.
In this place we call home. 

So hold my hand.
Dear child, did you listen?
Yes, I did tell you.

Breath

When I Breathe

I Breathe Life

Life that fills my lungs

Invigorates my spirit. 

When I Breathe

I Breathe Hope

Hope that brings a light

To shine at the end of the tunnel.

When I Breathe,

I Breathe Joy

Joy that knows no bounds

And can't be stolen. 

And when I Breathe

I Breathe Love

Love that fills the soul

And brings every trait to life.  

~Raven

Me

Alone.
I belong this way

Silence.
My only friend.

People.
My enemy.

Life.
The puzzle.

Me.
The lost,
The Broken.





~Angel

Broken

I could break down

I could just stop 

I could just drown

In my own failures

Just give up

Just stop trying

Just make it all go away 

And stay in my shadow

Everyone would go away
Everything would stop
Everywhere; nothing but silence
And I would be alone

The way I deserve to be.
The way I will stay.
Broken.






~Angel

Suicide

This feeling which has awoken inside,

Makes me hate myself much more than before,

Rivers pour as I urge the blade to glide,

Swiftly 'cross my skin. I shall take no more!

I cry out and plead, all I need is help.

But no one is around to help me.

They look down upon me and hear me yelp.

Pain too much to bear, can't anyone see?

A trickle, a stream, a river dripping,

Down to the floor I watch it slowly fall.

I watch as the world 'round me is slipping.

They will see, and now they will hear my call!

It's too late, I say to my only friend.

The rope which helped my pain and sorrow end.
