Waiting for darkness to end my dismay, How long will I live in shades of gray, Or until my existence just completely fades.

"Not Just A Dream
Dreaming...we all do it
Close our eyes, fall into it
Some are only seconds
Others feel never ending
How naive are we
Allowing our minds to project fantasies
Allowing it to affect reality
The way we think and view society
Or scare us half to death
Make us cry, tighten our chest
Gasping for air, reaching for meth
How do we stop what we can't control
Our mind knows no bounds
Twisting darkness over every glimpse of light
Then you wake up and it happens to all be right...
Close our eyes, fall into it

Gasping for air, reaching for meth
How do we stop what we can't control

Random Words Poem
Funny how living sucks the life out
Like a mosquito frenetic in the night
Attacking unexpectedly, just when everything is right
Leaving you with not just a bump on the side
More like a buffet to the mind
Wishing you were a robot
So it wouldn't hurt so much inside
No dreams just nightmares
Faces the size of a hippopotamus
Chuckling at you with crooked teeth
As you run the maze to escape the sleep
And just as your internal thermometer peaks
You wake in a scream
Sweating unable to breathe
Tears start to fall, feeling emotionally...

Just a Poem
One ................ Two
Black rimmed eyes
Staring out into the sky
Clouds horizontally lined
Like paper floating by
Awaiting the touch of my mind
Bundled in a number 2 pencil
But the words won't flow
Thoughts roll, but its all mental
Blank page driving me insane
Wondering why I write anyway
Was it for me or other beings
To tell of my life, my demons
My story, enveloped in glory
Packaged suffering, mourning
Third eye view of the world

Untitled
Beyond the waking star of life
Bleeds a darkness we call night
From a distant ball of white
The moon, the eye of the sky
Glowing like a deity of sorts
Above our human dictated order
Spotted in shades of gray
Almost like an egg
Big enough to block out the day
Giving birth to nightly rage
When fictitious morality fades
In search of endless escape
From the sorrow and pain
Love and life create
Endlessly raging to escape
Humanities emotional reighn,
No love is sweeter than the taste of mary jane
And no form of happiness is...

Worthlessly Perfect
We live a starless life
Fragile and imperfect
Beneath rainy skies
Believed to be worthless
Unable to awake from misery
Alone and unable to sleep
Drowning in our own screams
Tears that flow endlessly
Wishing tomorrow wouldn’t come
Bathed in self inflicted pain
Wanting to disappear far away
Hiding behind fakes smiles
Holding back over flowing sorrow
Reaching out for answers
Someone who understands us
Someone to believe in
Since we can’t believe in...

What it feels like
Allow me to clarify how I feel inside
What I see when I picture her and me
The beauty she instilled within my life
How for once everything seemed alright
Living movie scenes and farfetched dreams
Just staring at her was more than comforting
From falling to flying, crippled and running
To give her everything she has given me
Happiness that blocks out the madness
Love erasing any trace of sadness
It was real and there was no question about it
Unrealistic almost, but who could judge an...

From start to Finish
I was blowing my smoke in the sky,
Ignoring advice and getting high
Copied homework from the night before,
Passed notes, flirted and made jokes
Bathroom breaks to smoke a cig,
Skipping class to get it in
While her parents were away at work,
Take a shower and to school I returned
Bong hits before gym class,
Inspiration buzz in art
Never hesitant, always had my friends backs
First to throw a punch
Meet me after school or lunch
I choose to live a life of fun
Skipping practice still player of the game
Party animal, beer pong king...

Drowning
My eyes slowly fluttered open
To shades of blue and nothing
Body nearly unable to move
Concious fading, losing breath
Oh what a beautiful death
Drowning into darkness
Staring at the lit surface
I reached to see if I could touch it
Tears eaten by the tide
Although I wanted to die
From somewhere I still cried
Lost in the oceans beauty
Releasing my last breath
Bubbles floated, lungs collapsed
Heart slowed and stopped at last
Eyes closed, falling fast
Asleep below the oceans mass
Until I was captured ...

My World of Contrition
I regret....
Sorrow
Allowing it to flow onto tomorrow
Happiness
Believing in it's falsified existence
Hatred
Letting it bleed and pulse through me
Love
Toying with my emotions, fooling me
I regret...
Being the brother that didn't die
Waking up everyday I have been alive
Smiling when it wasn't how I felt
Running from any source of help
Thinking anything would ever change
Loving and loving again and again
Helping friends who could careless for me
Bleeding for those who wouldn't bleed for me
I regret......

October Story
This is my story, my life
All I wish to leave behind
From beginning to end
Pair of innocent twins
Same as any other kid
Placed in the hands of our personal pandora box
Parents who eventually became the end to us
Selfish father and broken hearted mother
Cheating gave birth to a realistic monster
Insane murderer and suicidal mother
Leaving behind her daughter me and my brother
Sister lost in a world of shock
Depressive and suicidal thoughts
Diagnosed into an asylum ward
Me and brother behind orphanage doors
What luck to be adopted by...

Farewell
If you didn't expect this
You haven't been paying attention
I have seen enough of this world
Tired of living a questioned existence
Playing happy keeping the truth hidden
I have lived my last hopeless tomorrow
Bled out all my years of sorrow
Put to rest my forever broken heart
Flat lined lost myself in the dark
I was already dead before I ended it
Before love attempted to save me
Double edged slowly breaking me
Before death ripped away my family
Sentencing me to depression,...

What is Anime?
A world within worlds
Fantasy in the form of reality
Stories that spill from dreams
Imagination set free
A place of escape
Alternative life shaped
Filled with hopes and wishes
A place I wouldn't mind living
Creativity at its peak
Breath taking imagery
Any genre you wish to see
From sci-fi to comidies
Romance or scary treat
Action, psychologicly deep
Normal life, supernatural abilities
A world of possibilities
Possible future of humanity
It is...
