The New Generation Is SelfishIt’s hard to hide the truth from everyone else
There’s not much to do but to point and laugh
That’s all that most of them really do
Taking pretty much everything for granted
Bet they wouldn’t survive a day out on the streets
Without some help from home

Tell you all that they don’t need some help
That they are fine on their own
Leave some food on their plates saying that it’s crap
They scream in anger about everything
That’s not gone their way
Dear god the new generation is so selfish it’s unreal

Go out every night looking for some fun with their friends
They get drunk hoping for someone good

Have I got your attention?Have I got your Attention?

Dark nights on repeat, cheap liquor on tabs. The underworld takes all from you and gives you all. Fitted suits and scented perfumes. We take with us nothing of value and some how leave something we value.

Can you hear me? Do we have your attention?

My attention? It shifts from one memory to another. It takes me from one year to another. It comes and goes, but something hollow always remains. If your request must be answered without delay, you will be surprised. My attention you have briefly.

Can we help you?

Dark nights on repeat, I have lost something of value. You say you will help me look for it, but I know

* Nomad*Time of change, years ago
Since then life's bittersweet
Cold seeped into my life force
Engenders in me greatest remorse.

History coloured many days
Odd wonderous moments enjoyed
Benjamin Disraeli kissed my hand
His charm I managed to withstand.

Was presented at Russian court
Dressed in white my favours sort
More than a few was tempted to bite
So kept my fangs well out of sight.

Napoleon Bonaparte Corsican upstart
Eventually exiled to Elba
I dined on him, his blood was thin
Was obvious to me he would not win.

Life of change yet one wish denied
How I should love to turn back time
Not possible yet it's torture for me
So many people would dis

Road of a WandererA wanderer knows no company.
He knows he is too different from other people.
Too much to be able to find a clear place to fit it.
He never allows anyone to accept him.
He never lets anyone in.
He wears the mask he forged for himself.
He migrates, never staying in one place for too long.
He keeps moving forward because whenever he stops, he looks back.
And all he sees is the darkness of his past.
In that darkness exists a shadow.
A shadow of regret.
A shadow he cannot accept.
A shadow that slowly follows along behind him.
He moves forward not because he wants to.
He moves forward because he has to.
He fears that shadow he cannot

Dollhouse EarthShells, hollowed out minds -
brainwaves taken captive.
Where is my personality?

Thoughts reinvented, emotions
reprogrammed. I see through
my own reflection.
Face so familiar, but
Who am I?

Destroy, rebuild, wipe clean -
The archetecture of an artist,
or a mad man.
Genius deteriorating,
a frantic puppet-master
grasping for strings.
Children lost in a world of
their making.
We are dolls.

Chaos is always the punishment
for playing God.

Was it worth it?

Together ForeverI’ve been waiting a long time
For this moment to come
After everything’s that’s happened
I still want to remember
What I saw in you

This isn’t the first time
Nor will it be the last
That I accidentally break
Our photographs
Something about my accidents
Makes me think

Will I ever get what I want from you
Or will I ever be able to say

We will be together, forever
You said that we will be together
We will be together, forever
I said that we will be together
Now its time to say
That we will be together forever

Reading your letters
Always makes me smile
I wanted to let you know
That I will be a while
Cause I’m fi

A Chip Off Time...you're real.

Well, of course I'm real. Why on earth wouldn't I be?

I watch him closely, this man hidden away in the back of a pawn shop. The clutter of this place is claustrophobic. It's amazing that there aren't more broken treasures in here; it's hard to move without brushing a piece of someone else's past.

I watch him. I examine him, the one I was told would...what was it?...protect me? He's older, for sure, but he carries himself with grace and dignity. Smartly dressed in a crisp suit, leaning upon a cane, he limps towards me. Soft umber hair that gently falls around his face, streaks of silver shimmering in the dim light of the sho

GhostIf you look
you look right through me
And when you talk
it's not to me

When I touch you
you don't feel a thing
And when I scream out
you hear pure silence

You won't vanish from my heart
Though you disappeared from my life
But I'm the one left to walk alone
the one who was left a ghost.....

6 WordsSomething so sweet
Killing me softly.

The Vise on my HeartI feel so confused.
My heart has been abused,
conflicted, constricted.
It feels so over-used.

Broken up and dead within...
Uncomfortable in my own skin...
Why can't I sort things out?
I'm wearing myself so thin.

Drowning as I'm falling,
I feel the darkness calling.
Please send a bullet through my heart.
This pain is so appalling.

Send me help, ease my ache.
Let me rest before I break.
What should I do? I just don't know.
How much more pain must I take?

Someone, please, soothe my heart.
Forever ago did these pains start...
I just want freedom from these chains;
all they do is tear me apart.

Dear nightmares, let me go.
Sweet troubles, don'

OUT OF THE DARKNESS...I feel her lips on mine, deep and dark and full
of a dusky divinity that molds itself to the
mosaic mausoleum of my soul, her kisses taste
like dark chocolate melting into bitter wine,
too delicious to deny...so I immerse myself
into that unfathomable fraction where morbid
fascination blots out the last remnants of
mortal morality, usually I see her wink at me
when my tombstone Thoughts are not too heavy
with the weight of regretful tears, but my heart
has yet to flesh out my wishful finality
-to the Light veiled and the Darkness revealed-
oh what echo is it I hear that breaks the mood
of my solemn insight, of my somber reflection?

I can tas

A Summary Of LustMisguided with a touch, spoiled in the splendor of a moment
Seeking satisfaction of unclean intent
Lies a soul, so pure, yet rash, tossed in with routine intimacy
Such empty affection
Though this truth be exiled for fear of harsh reality

Now, tainted innocence remains, still, not gone, but incomplete
As two forms intertwine in passion
Given not a second thought in such momentary bliss
A glimpse in time and nothing more

Once thought to be a budding romance by the soul
Only for her to be dismayed, facing denial the second emotion interjects
Dying by the hand of affection
Justified in the torment of such unexpected despair

The Shadow CasterI didn't want to ruin my sister's life. I didn't want to hurt her at all. Yeah, she got on my nerves pretty often, but I never wanted anything to happen to her. My mother always joked that I'd kill her and anyone else who tried.

But it might be too late.

It all started with the number 19. 19 points out of 100 on a test, to be exact. An English test, on top of that - my sister and I were both blessed with a natural command over words.

But a test like this could not be helped by a gift with language. It was a stems test - you know those, right? Prefixes and suffixes and all? Those could only be memorized, and my dear sister wasn't one to put

In my dreamsIn my dreams I saw you
You smiled at me like before
In my dreams I felt you
You embraced me with your warmth

Once my dreams were so true
That happiness was really ours
But those days have gone away
You left me with my heart, broken

You never know in my dreams
You were the one who saw me
Invisible as I am
The true colors of myself

And I know I was wrong
That my dreams're just dreams
But why are you still there
In my dreams every night?

Burns DarknessBlood mixes with sand
I spit it out
some still lingers yet
That soft metallic taste
Topped with hard crunches
between my back teeth
Or is that them
My teeth, crunching; clenching
Crumbling and crushing now
grinding into fine dust
Where once they were
Connected, by rotted roots

As we are here
connected by much less
Less than rotten fumes
Less than I; you
Or now, vice versa
As it (n)ever was

Yet we bend, break
Splash like a light
through this shattered prism
Lighting up empty rooms
Cast upon distant walls

Behind the brightest light
There are darker shadows
And here you are
Empty and more vacant
than a hallow-point she

instead I'm crying
and screaming inside my head
Please come for me!
Please come hold me!!!!
I don't really want to vanish...

Damn tears won't stopTears of shame
of self pity
of anger
of fear
why?
why does this always happen?
haven't I lost enough time?
I can't afford to lose all of my memories!
I can't afford to cry all the time
just because I lost so much time
doesn't mean the reason is gone
damn it!
I hate this:(
I can't stand being so weak
so pathetic
angrily I try to stop the tears
all it accomplishes is making room for more
my vision blurs
As my glasses fog up
I hold everything in
It isn't safe to feel
not happy
not love
not lonely
scared
or sad
why can't these blasted tears stop?
I want to go home!!!!!!
the other Realm...
they would make everything ok

and still you haven't even said hello
Are ok?
Or did you get hurt again?
I wish I knew!
I worry about you
I miss you
and I am losing touch
with you
with me
with her
it's all falling apart
and I can't even get an IM response
I don't want you to worry for me
like I worry for you
you just got hurt
But I need

it could mean that I will be leaving

my head hurts
and i lose more every day

I stayed for youFor you I gave up everything
That I once held so dear
For you I chose to stick it out
In this horrifying Realm of fear
Here
With you
And yet alone
Was I a fool?
I begin to feel as if I should have left
I know I could try again
Try to leave this Realm
But your words keep me here
Chained and yet free
Why do you affect me so?
I want to stay with you
Don't let me go
Don't vanish
Please don't make me cry
I stayed because of you
And I don't even know why
For you I stayed
You never asked me to
You never implied that I was yours
For your words
For hope
I stayed anyway

TrustTrust
Such a small word
With huge implications
Trust
Letting someone in
Being vulnerable
Lowering your shields
How could anyone
Want to do something
So dangerous?
Yet…
I want to
I don't exactly know why
Just that it would mean
Not being so alone
Why should I fear
Every time I get close
To a person?
If they hurt me
As they inevitably do
Will it make me stronger?
Or more afraid?
If I can learn to trust
Will I still be alone?
If I let you in
Will you keep me locked out?
Even so?
I do not wish to fear
Anymore
Should I trust?
Or is that insane?

to trust the voices or not?To kill
To harm
To leave this Realm
Is that all They want?
To be free of the mind
Of the body
That cages Them here?
What of Her?
The one who houses Them?
Must she be harmed?
Killed?
All so They can be free?
Will she be freed as well?
If she is no longer Here
Will she find peace
In the other Realm?
Is she right to trust them?
Is she right
Or wrong?

Rambling Rant

by ~KittySib, Nov 21, 2012, 5:09:10 AM
Literature / Prose / Non-Fiction / Emotional

Listen up. I don't know who you think you are, but you are NOT me! You can't have my body. (I don't know why anyone would want it, but HANDS OFF!) I don't care what you think about my invincibility complex, but QUIT TEMPTING ME!!! So I'm a little skewed and I feel like I don't belong. Big deal. I'm not gonna chase portals anymore. My body refuses to become a conduit to the next Realm, so to continue trying to off myself would be futile and stupid. After all, I CAN'T DIE.
Get off my back about Soul Mates and Love and Purpose and whatnot. I'm NOT listening to you crackpots anymore. I don't know where you came from or why you persist in invading my thoughts, but GET LOST!!! I am crazy enough without annoying whispers and voices and all that…
NO, I am not interested in the labyrinth or all the locked memories. I know better! I've lost many Selves to that place. I am not quite stupid enough to go blindly barging into that place again. I want to stay. I'm sick of Vanishing.
What do you mean, you can help me? I know you can be the voice of reason at times, but ONLY at times. I'm not listening…La la la! Go AWAY!
*whimper* STOP IT! I'm invincible…remember? I don't NEED you! Oh…so shiny…and sharp…and to feel that blade as it carves on my flesh…*sighs dreamily*…No! Wait! I see what you are doing! I can't! I'm NOT going back there! Quit being so seductive! I can't do this anymore. Can't keep walking the Shadowed Paths. Why do you desire a vessel so badly? Can't you find someone else to be? I WILL be stronger than you! Maybe someday you'll leave me for good, and I will be alone in my head…Why are you laughing? Is that so funny? Ugh…just GO already!
