GodThere is a God. I have seen him snap the necks
Of children and inspect their hollow remains.
Pushing past the sinews, there is nothing there.
No prayers clogging the arteries, stopping the rush
Of blood, a blackened jet.
Their mouths had not yet learnt how to
Form 'hail mary's'. Tongues twisted at the sound.
The syllables choke.

There is no use lying to a child who when asking
For God, finds only silence.

He is not interested in them. The purity sickens.
There's a boredom in innocence that causes him
To turn away. His eyes are better fixed on those
Who can praise him. The shallow whore who never
Thought her life would take thi

A Legacy of WisdomYou have scribed your words,
wealthy wreaths of wisdom,
on paper never torn or worn.
You have etched your passions
on my brow.

You have left this wallowed world
victorious; eyes resplendent
with the wisdom you wrote and wrought.
Your passions shall echo in my ears
unto eternity.

And should I stray into some
sullen storm, or get caught in
the torrents of the monsoon, I’ll know
that Lear’s been there before, and
I’ll not swoon.

And if Hades’ doors open up
before my stranded soul, and scorch
it with the heat of hell, I’ll recall that
I am not the first – Dante’s been down
there as well.

A

NonexistenceI pray to a God I have never seen,
who lives in a world that has never been,
to save my heart that has never felt,
from eternity's failures, eternity's guilt.

My feet step on grounds no men stepped before,
my lips taste the poison, bitter and sore,
yet it does not kill me,
does that mean,
that I am immortal,
or that I've never been?

I pray to a God that may not exist,
while the iron shackle tears up my wrist,
to tell me the difference of being and not,
to show me the memories that I forgot.

My mind flies to places nobody has reached,
to learn that the stars are nothing but bleached,
spots on the dark, they're not even light,

AnarchyScream the anthem of the anarchist!
What is it? Exactly.
I won't tell you; make it up.
Go away. Blow it up.
Burn it down. Deface the town.
But don't give in,
Never -- no.
That's the song we all love so.
Freedom past extremity.
Far away, in my backyard
I own the world; I am a bard.
I wear a beard and shave my head;
All the normals want me dead.
I won't give up; I ramble rave.
You'll never make me behave.
My brother, loser, freak, meek geek
You know-- the beatnick, hippy, punk--
The rock bands my parents debunk--
We treasure what we cannot have:
No allegiance to any flag.

how it is welling your eyes a wet mess

to run fanatic toward cosmic space
after bathing in the space among us

Perspectives of a Hallucino...Comfort. The softness of the basement couch. Misery loves company.
Trickling through my fingers. Whispering across my face, her disappearing
lips trace across my cheeks. The smell is sweet, but she is rough against
my throat. Her smell isn't so much intoxicating as it is suffocating, yet
the smoke paralyses my senses and touches my soul. Her street name is
undeserving of her effect on me. Forever, she shall be known to me as
Mary-Jane. I will never know her beauty.

ScrutinyAnd when I am formulated, sprawling on a pin,
When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,
Then how should I begin…
~ T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

I am going through the keyless gate
to watch and wait,
to wander here and there among the proud,
among the white and old whose wisdom rots, repressed, untold:
the soporific royals wreathed in leaves of gold.
And to them I shall read aloud from the Book,
read of the sins their lips have took
and upon me they shall look and patiently reflect…

“I am lost in my own depth,” I will say
in a slight, impartial way

Vampires heartacheI awake in the night;
I can no longer sleep.
I don't see myself in mirrors;
I see somebody else.
I am alone.
I am dead.
The red stripes on white flesh
Keep me somewhat Sane.
I stare at the ceiling;
It is as cold and dead as I am.
The pain burns within;
as my life slowly fades away.

Wolf's Rain

Snowflakes fall, blood is in the air,
Covering white figure of pride,
Lying forceless on the ground,
Having no strength to fight with the snow,
Nor even with reality,
Which drifts down from the empty sky,
Where the moon cannot be seen,
Where birds cannot be heard,
At which wolves can only howl.

Suicide

I'm so sick of suicide
It's everywhere I look
Pictures, and in movies
In poetry and books

I'm so sick of suicide
It's pathetic and it's weak
Blah blah blah so awful
Outlook always bleak

This life's just not worth living
Could they be any more cliché'?
I know that I just can't go on
Isn't that what they say?

Do you live in China
Without freedom's basic choice?
Are you a woman in Afghanistan?
Forbidden to have a voice.

Are you starving now in Africa?
Surrounded by disease
Or under corrupt dictatorship
Forced upon your knees

These people rise to challenges
We cannot comprehend
They live their lives from day to day

Take counsel.
I hear your cry.
It passes through the darkness, filters through the clouds, mingles with starlight, and finds its way to my heart on the path of a sunbeam.
I have anguished over the cry of a hare choked in the noose of a snare, a sparrow tumbled from the nest of its mother, a child thrashing helplessly in a pond, and a son shredding his blood on a cross.
Know that I hear you, also. Be at peace. Be calm.
I bring thee relief for your sorrow for I know its cause ... and its cure.
You weep for all your childhood dreams that have vanished with the years.
You weep for all your self-esteem that has been corr

Emo

Emo is black.
Emo is red.
Emo is a love of darkness,
But always needing some light.
Emo is the way you look,
But more the way you are.
Emo is resisting the world
Because you can't stand routine.
Emo is loving everyone you know,
Even if sometimes you wish they didn't exist.
Emo is hurting yourself or your body
When deep down you really love them both.
Emo is making your own choices,
While relying on your friends to make it through.
But really, emo is not caring how fucked up you are,
Cause there are so many friends just as fucked up as you.
Emo isn't hate.
Emo is love.

Dear the Last Person I KissedDear Charlie,

I already wrote you a letter.

I'm trying to be nice to you, I really am. Why can't you see that I have a life of my own now? I wish you would acknowledge that I'm dating somebody. I don't need some fuss about it but a nice "oh how's your girlfriend doing?" would be nice.

I guess I'll be sitting with you at lunch. Since nobody else has C lunch.

Love,
Caitlin

Dear Someone I Want to GiveDear Kimi,

You have this weird way of coming in and out of my life. One year, we'll be tight. The next, we don't speak. I don't understand it. I think you're a really cool person and we should hang out more, but I guess not.

I remember when you were an adamant atheist and a Twilight fan and read manga. Those were beter times, I think. LOG has never done anything good for us. Did you go to LOG? I don't remember. I know you have one of those big wooden crosses like they all do.

I don't know anything about your life anymore but all you do is hang out with people I don't like. Why aren't we friends anymore?

Love,
Caitlin

Dear Someone I JudgedDear Jenna,

My first impression of you was that you were a clingy little naïve idiot.

I was right.

Love,
Caitlin

Dear Person That Broke myHeartDear Grace,

You know what? I already wrote you a letter. Go die in a fire in a weight room in a hole in a river in a genocide.

You're a stupid fucking waste of space and I'm glad you hate me. I'm glad because it means I don't have to feel bad about hating you. I'm glad you're a stupid hipster and I'm glad people use you and I'm glad you're not in my life anymore. I'm done being scared of you.

No love,
Me.

Dear Someone That Pesters MeDear Kayla,

You don't just pester my MIND you pester my MSN. Just FYI, I have no interest in your traced pictures. There is a reason I didn't care you moved.

Love,
Me~

Dear The Person I Wish I WasDear the person I wish I was,

I wish I could ever be you.

You're funny and confident and happy and pretty and unique and charismatic and witty. You're not afraid of mispronouncing words or voicemail or Slenderman or falling or people lying about everything to her. You're not paranoid. You're a rebel and you have fun with your friends, and your friends care about you. Nobody ever leaves you alone when you need them most. Nobody abandons you because you're trying to be yourself. You always are yourself, and you don't apologize for it or hide it. You dress how you want and you love people and they love you back for once.

You're not sca

Duplicity

by ~drashian, Aug 28, 2009, 2:22:00 PM
Literature / Poetry / Philosophical / Open

Caring about others
                                  and wishing they were dead
Affirming other's success
                                  lets me know i've failed
Intelligent discussions
                                  even compared to idiots
Tell me I'm pretty
                                  xenophobia is my flaw
Let me know you care
                                  i know it's just a lie
I'm trying to get over this
                                  so i run away
Never gonna lose control again
