Tick tock,
goes the clock,
ticking life's time away.

Tick tock,
goes the clock,
every second of every day.

Tick tock,
tomorrow's coming.

Tick tock,
then it's time.

Tick tock,
your time to go.

Tick tock,
you're gone.

Not One More Sound

"From what hell did you spawn? You! Beast of the night. You lurk in the outer-recesses of the shadows, always just at the edge of my sight. Tell me, monster, speak clearly through the chilling air. What summons calls you to haunt, to fill the night with despair?" Silence, Un-shattered and smooth like glass. I walk quickly now, deeply fearing the power the monstrosity has. What possesses these trees? What dark force may inhabit them? In my nightmares, I foresaw such a scene. A cursed root catches my hem. A scream rings out as I collapse. Mine? The Beasts? A poor soul already caught? Is this my end? Was my life all for not? I bring my hand

Passion

For when the daughter experiences a first it is the passion she feels in the night. For when the innocent is murdered against reason it is the cry of a nation that can’t understand. For when the son disturbs the peace of a day it is the rage of parents that calm his youth. For when the music carries upon the floor it is the color of the dress the darling wears. For when the veil drops and all is revealed it is the pain of truth that becomes clear. For when the last moment is seen it is the suffering in the eyes that shows all. For when the child breaks the toys they cherish so it is the shade their face turns in anger. For when

When I Said

When I said I wanted a fairy tale I meant I wanted a prince. I didn't want to be locked in a Tower. I didn't want to be fought by a Wicked Witch. I didn't want This. When I said I wanted a fairy tale I meant I wanted to be a princess. I didn't want to watch a rose Die. I didn't want to wear the gown Temporarily. I wanted it Forever. See, When I said I wanted a fairy tale... I expected it to end in a Happily Ever After. But i never expected it to end like this.

Screamed her pain.

I'm tired and I'm a basket case of pity. Don't look at me. Don't talk at me. You can't see me. I want to close my eyes and invade in my inner city. Don't dare wake me. Please hold onto me… No… you can't see me. Yes you do see me… I'm so blind that I'm chaotic. Wake me! Embrace me! Please! Can you really see me? I do want to go to bed. I'm so weary… Hold me please… Notice me… No. You can't see me… Don't mock me… Please help me… I won't be able to speak of logic. I am emotional. I can't feel me. I can't hear me. Please… Look at me… Don't fret, and just hold me. Please… even though… we can't see me.

The Girl Who Was Afraid To Be

She speaks to me fondly of passions and talents, of guitars and stars, with such breathless intensity then stops short and apologises for speaking at all. All because somewhere in her life, someone she loved broke her heart by ignoring her beautiful words and telling her to shut up, keep it down, nobody cares. People aren’t born sad. We make them that way.

My Worst Ememy

I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's me, but not me. She's the girl the world sees, Happy and always laughing, Always kind and polite, As friendly as she needs to be. That's not me. I'm sad and feel like crying, Kind to only the people I know and like Faking friendliness to strangers when I have to. I can't stand her, The girl in the mirror. She's annoying with all she pretends to be. I want to be someone else. I'm tired of the constant fights with her, She always wins. So I take it out on her when I'm alone, And no one can stop me. I'm my own worst enemy, You see. Mentally beating myself up, At first, Try

Anorexia

'You're so skinny!' 'You don't need to lose weight!' 'You look great!' Lies…all lies. I know the truth. Too many pounds here, too many there. Hips, stomach, butt… I want it all gone. I need it to be gone. Eat less, exercise more…it's such a simple problem to fix. So I eat when I need to. Doesn't even need to be everyday. It's usually something small. Carrots, celery, a handful of nuts…It's just enough to get me through the day. You want to know my daily routine? Fine. I run a few miles everyday. It took some time to get used to it, but I had to adjust to reach my goal. No one else knows I do it. I wake in the wee h

Can't you hear the voices?

Can't you hear the voices? As they ring inside my head Can't you see the faces? Painted in the blood so red Can't you taste the poison? As it rests upon your tongue Can't you hear the voices? No? Then you do not belong.

Castle

Come with me, little girl Let's watch the rose pedals fall Let's bury your castle And put up a brick wall Lets rip off your butterfly wings And place them in your grave The demons have come to get you You better start to behave Come with me, little girl For you can only have the gown for an hour Do they love you, or love you not, Ripping pedals off a flower Come with me, little girl Let's open your scars And bury your castle, In the girl you no longer are...

Magic Wand

Dragons fly through poison skies, their whispers in the wind Ladybugs in black sandcastles, scratches on your skin Hopscotch over quicksand, and a castle made of dirt Shining silver crowns and dancing 'round in spinning skirts Bloody, ruined princesses locked up in towers tall Watching as the prince quickly begins to fall Slowly, as the innocence does take her darling life Please do watch now, as the magic wand becomes a knife...

I Like Being Weird

Whether I’m laughing in awkward situations Or crying when everybody else smiles I go from wanting to stay in bed forever To wanting to run directionless for miles Normality just feels like silent floorboards And is something I most definitely fear See I need to creak every once in a while You won’t understand but I like being weird Talking when everybody else is silent Being deathly quiet in a maelstrom of noise As I decide if I’ll be your friend today But I promise that you are not just a toy Normality just feels like empty nightscapes And is something I most definitely fear I need the stars to spell out my last name Do

Darling, Don't You Dare

To the girl who skips dinner, Because her reflection hurts more than Starving. To the boy who wears sweatshirts On hot summer days, Because he doesn’t want his mother to cry over his Scars. To the boy who weeps uncontrollably Until he falls asleep, Because it’s the only way to escape into his Dreams. To the girl who spends her days in her bedroom, Because the dark is more peaceful than her Mind. To the child who gets angry, Because no one understands. To the teens who self-harm, To the ones in recovery, To the ones that just can’t do it anymore… Stay Strong. For the girl who skips meals And the boy who wears sw

My Beautiful Mess

She smiles like the Cheshire cat Like her problems don't matter Like the stars can speak Like perhaps she can hear them She laughs like she's mad Like every moment is special Like she controls her destiny Like it's her last day on Earth She loves like a child Like she's not sorry for being happy Like her pain is pretend Like there are always second chances
