  • Why does love have to hurt??

    Thursday, September 4, 2008 | A Poem/Artistic story

    Why is love so hard to bear,
    When it hurts so much that you care,
    When they hurt you so bad that you wanna die,
    and yet somedays you feel as if you could fly,
    Right up to the sky safe in their arms,
    How easily you succum to their charms,
    Why does something so good have to hurt,
    Sometimes it feels like they're only after whats under your skirt.
    Why does love have to hurt?
    When you're happy everythi...

  • Just Another Poem

    Sunday, June 21, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    “Why me?” she asks as she pulls the scissors down her hip yet again
    “Why me!?” “WHY ME?!?”
    Her heart burns
    Her throat aches
    Her hip stings
    But nothing comes…
    The tears start to pour out of her face
    Because the blood won’t pour out of her hip
    “This must be what going crazy feels like,” she thinks to herself
    As she goes to find something sharper
    So...

    MY JOURNEY
    I was a beautiful flower born unto this earth amongest the posionous plants and weeds.
    They taught me some good but mostly about pain, hurt and disappointments.
    As I grew my pedals fell off one by one, finding out those you thought were your world 
    were just as scared and confused as you were.
    They forced their sins on you forgetting you were just a little flow...

  • chapter 1

    Sunday, May 11, 2008

    Chapter 1 
    Waking up in a different room wasn't anything new. I had been drinking way too much once again, now I had to find my way home like normal. My parents would guess that I wouldn’t be home last night. 
    So as I stumble out of the unknown house, I wondered where the hell I was and what had happen last night. I was still a virgin as far as I could tell. I sort of walk, sort...

    Monday, May 25, 2009 | A Poem/Artistic story

    This is s poem im working on, this is draft one. any input would be apreciated :)
    She is the nicest girl you will ever meet
    But you will never know her name
    You would never even talk to her
    Because she seemed far too plain
    She stood with a heart as bright as the sun
    But exclusion and isolation clouded her soul
    You could have picked her up and cleared her skies
    But you laughed and heckled her, forcing he...

  • Why

    Monday, June 1, 2009

    Why
    I need a hand to hold
    To hold me from the ledge
    of all this craziness.
    Why all the rain?
    Why all this pain?
    Why all these tears?
    If you can walk on water
    the put the pieces of
    my heart back together.
    I need sanity, I need Joy
    I need love! Why are
    You hiding from me?
    I know the darkest part
    is right before the dawn
    I know you  have my back.
    This thread I'm holding onto
    will soon break.  So here
    I...
