| Just Because... Just because i embrace darkness doesn't mean i worship it doesn't mean i don't appreciate the light doesn't mean i'm evil Just because i'm depressed doesn't mean i always have been doesn't mean i want to be doesn't mean i don't smile Just because i took painkillers doesn't mean i'm a druggy doesn't mean i do it for fun doesn't mean i want your pity Just because i cut doesn't mean i'm a freak doesn't mean i'll kill myself doesn't mean i'm not scared Just because i cry doesn't mean i'm a wimp doesn't mean the tears aren't crimson doesn't mean i'm giving up. |
The poems here aren't mine... all except 'Just Because' are written by Meghan- she is a v lovely and talented girl i met online in my webgroup & she now has her own website and group. I put them up because i think they are magic & they express difficult emotions very well. |
| Dreams Dreams are glass houses, Broken so easily. A sharp blow, a shrill word, And they are gone. Shattered into a million glittering pieces, To lie broken on the floor. They are crunched underfoot, By the shoes of unwary people, Or the boots of those who live to destruct. You are free Fireflies. Shining bright Like captive stars, You are free. You are free, Not locked in a cage, Hounded by demons, Prodded with iron. Birds. Beautiful and flighty, Winging through the sky. You are free. You are free, Not trapped on the ground Being sucked under water By rocks tied to your feet. Deer. Swift and graceful, Running like the wind. You are free. You are free, Not screaming helplessly, In a crowded room, Where no one hears you. Wild animals. Swift and strong, Striving to live, You are free. You are free Until you rest. We are caged, Sucked under Prodded. Until we rest, And even at rest, We are not free. |
| I Step Through the shadows of my heart, I step softly. Through the darkness of my mind, I step swiftly. Through the grave of my soul, I step silently. For I do not know what lies there, Or if I should fear it. |
| To Hide The Pain Blue eyed girl, Sad and lonely. She hurts herself To hide the pain. Every hurt hides the pain, That mars her soul, That shows on her face, And marks her as troubled. She deals with her pain In the sweet silence. Troubling no one With her problems. She is different. Has been and will be, And so she stands alone To face her troubles in the darkness. No one hears her when she cries Because she is scared, Of the dizziness and pain She feels inside her head. No one hears her as she gasps. Shocked at the bruises That mar her body Made by her own hands. No one hears her As she cries in the dark Waiting for help, That is slow in coming. |
For Those Who Care Big brown eyes. Sad and lonely, Full of pain. You think no one notices When you cry, But they do. You laugh and chatter To hide the pain You feel inside. But it shows, For those who care to notice. Angry red scratches Cover your arms. Hidden by long sleeves, And tired excuses Made to dull the pain, You feel inside. You tell no one All the pain you feel. You try to hide it, But it shows, In your eyes, On your arms, For those who care to notice. |
Your Tears Your tears, they fall down like rain, Every one you shed causes me pain. You think I do not notice, The tears in your eyes, Just because I look away whenever you cry. I notice every single time that you weep, Especially when you bind your thoughts so deep, I want to help you, You know this is true, I know you see me when I stare at you. If it is comfort that you seek, I'll be there for you always, Every day, every week. If you need help, You can turn to me. I won't go away, That I can guarantee. |
| Demons in the Night In the dark she stands alone, Demons on the wind. In the dark she cries alone, For she has no friends. Roses, roses, black as blood, In her shaky hands. Silent tears, like a flood, Fall into the sands. Demon, demon, at the door, Black blood roses on the floor. Demons, demons, in the night, Her blood is in their veins. At the window, a tapping, Begging to be let in. Full moon rising demons stir, Flying on the wind. With moon comes new shape, Fang and fur. Demons fly away. With rose in hand, Girl takes flight, Freely out into the night. Ne'er again to be bothered, By the demons in the night. |
| Untitled When goddess moon hangs full and bright, Gently smiling from the west. When stars cluster round about, Twinkling brightly from the east, By the light of the moon I'll come, On dark raven's wings I'll fly. By the light of the stars I'll come, In the darkness by and by. Away we'll sweep through the night, On wings of raven, we'll take flight. Ever ignoring the dooming plight, Opening eyes to wondrous sight, In the end, when you whither and die, I will remember from where you came. In the sweet by and by, I will carry on your name. |
