Untitled - By Heather K.
she hears the sound of pouring rain
wonders how she will bear the pain
memories rush into her weary head
as she struggles to bury that which is dead
these tortured memories have become her hell
this pitiful life has become her cell
she is left with sadness and strife
wondering what will become of this life
she died the day when others fell
she has hopes that they burn in hell
lightning dances across the sky
she begins to sob and cry
she knows one day she will be strong
and strike down those who did her wrong
so heap on your torture bring on your pain
but just keep looking for my rain

Untitled 1 - By Davina T.
i am by no means your salvation
from an ever so deep depression
i do not have the power
to save you from the dark hour
appathy?
can't you see
that these overpowering emotions
you fear, are nothing more than apparations?
you cling to the weary brow
and those tears you allow
i wish that i were the cure
for such meloncholy to be sure
alas; your angel, your hope, i am not
may you someday find what in me you sought

Untitled 2 - By Davina T.
every seat is occupied
except for mine
i can not claim it
from this earth i have gone

the boy looks up from his task at hand
starts to hum a tune
it is familiar
yet strange

you look up to the sky
shivering suddenly
you turn
there is no one there

was i the song you knew,
or maybe the bright moon?
was i the breeze you felt
or the restlessness of the night?

i am the setting sun
and the smile on every face.
i am all you see
when you remember me.

Untitled 3 - By Davina T.
there's a light fog covering the green rolling fields
and a steamy mist hovers over the lake
to those who can apprieciate it,
it is as magic
the sky wakes with color
magestic pruple highlights the soft clouds
forming over the distant hills
sunrise
bursts of orange
glints of red
and golden rays
reach through the trees
every few miles a farm house comes into view
paint faded from harsh rains in recent years
only seem to add to their charm
delicate pink and white flowers
grow in clusters along the roadside
a storm arrives
lightning flashes
dancing to the thunder's command echoing in the east
rain falls
bouncing happily as it hits the pavement
as soon as it had begun
it ends
bright stars embedded in the black sky
shine like diamonds
encased in a velvet box
they wink
tempting me to make a wish
the moon smiles approvingly
it is not the only one to hear it

Untitled 4 - By Davina T.
closing my eyes to see clearly
taking my time to hurry
sleep makes fantasy reality
spinning around to make the world stand still
watching falling stars stay right where they are
giving away what i so desperately wanted to keep
showing myself in a hidden corner
uncovering a lie disguising the truth
becoming whole while being torn apart
full of empty thoughts
running in place
caged inside my freedom
dying to live
starting to quit wishing
going to stop sometime
a glowing light thru the darkness
and dawn breaks into the night
finding a lost cause
paying for a free gift
without a heart within me
i am indifferent to love
screaming silently
whispering loudly
bittersweet memories wash over me
remind us to forget how things used to be
putting a brave smile on this fearful face
faith in that which i do not believe
laughing happily as the tears arrive
the sun is still there even when it rains
dreaming wide awake
jumping up just to fall down
saving what's already been tossed to the wind
righting a wrong somehow
understanding what i can't comprehend
biting my lips to speak
refusing the acceptance of me
listening to that voice with deaf ears
satisfyed with chaotic peace
with good intentions at times come bad endings

Untitled 1 - By Christine S.
Lonely, lonely that's my name
What a pity, what a shame
My candle's burned out, I have no flame
I'm looking for content, I need no fame!

Inside of me there's so much pain
Sometimes I feel like I'm insane
In my life, what's there to gain?
I can't stand the quiet, I wish it would rain

I know there's an angel watching from above
In some sort of spirit, or essence, or dove
I wonder if it knows what I am thinking of
Please let a miracle happen, and let me feel love

Life is getting shorter day by day
And if I could say one thing, this is what I'd say
Angel dear angel watch over me, I pray
Each moment that passes, in the future and today

So much in my life, causes me to weep
I swore that you appeared to me, last night in my sleep
Although that is a promise, that I doubt you could keep
The Mountain up to you is so tall and so steep

I'm sorry I have no faith in you
But honestly, what can I do?
Are you a fairytale? Or are you true?
Am I ignorant? And do I have a clue?

Now I know for fact, that you were truly here
I saw your hazy outline, you standing in the mirror
Although it was peculiar, I had no fear
Now I'm certain I can do anything, cause I realize you're always near!

Untitled 2 - By Christine S.
They hear the drop of a dripping faucet
now they are hearing two,
Then there's a trickle and then there's more
now there's quite a few.

They hear the clanging of the plumber
banging on the spout
Yelling, hitting, cursing, spitting,
trying to check it out.

The waters pouring heavily,
the sink's now torn apart,
He didn't break the sink that day,
he tore away my heart.

He tries to fix it, but he lost the pieces,
they are never to be found.
I lie there helpless, scared you see,
'cause soon I will have drown.

I yell out loud "I'm going to die",
but no one hears this bug
I close my eyes and lay there still,
Will anyone pull the plug?

Untitled 3 - By Christine S.
Sacrifices made to those
Situations no one knows

Splendid thoughts throughout the day
Secret journeys along the way

Sentimental times to reflect
Seldom do, others suspect

Selfish reasons interfere
Sexual desires draw me near

Savvy, coy, and mostly deceit
Surge of energy prolongs my heat

Sometimes my emotions make me look back
Sinners too, can get back on track

Survive today, don't think ahead
Sterilize the resent, lead, don't be led!

Untitled 4 - By Christine S.
Times are changing
People are changing
Life is changing
I'm glad it's not the same

Though I cling to the past
And wait for the future
The present is the worst
I'm so glad people are different

Life would be boring
Life would be empty
Life would be worse
If we all judged ones faults

It's hard to live
It seems easier to die
I sit here quietly
I begin to cry

With one last breath
I blink my eyes
I look deep into the sun
I lift my head and laugh

I laugh at the low life's
I pity the programmed
The ones who just follow others
Life's going to be better from now on!!

An Unwilling Experience - By Jamie M.
So cold and unwilling,
How could this be,
Inside my head a scream so shrilling,
Why is he doing this to me?

My eyes were blurry,
I could not move,
I'm full of nothing but fury,
Trying to stop him I couldn't do.

I kept saying no,no,
But I couldn't stop him,
Now I'm stuck with feelings I can't show
And a life that seems so dim.

Will this feeling ever go away?
Or will I have it forever,
In the back of my mind from day to day,
A memory I'll never treasure.
