Unconscious Epiphany.Unconscious Epiphany.

I thrive and depend on your compliments

And it is only then as a direct consequence,

Am I truly able to write with confidence.

Even though your words are only temporary.

I deem your contribution as utterly necessary,

In order to refresh my wavering, selective memory.

My own validation depends on your approval.

Whether it is congratulatory or discouragingly brutal.

Your input is the one thing that is most crucial.

Can I call myself a writer if I don't believe in myself?

When I constantly seek approval from everyone else?

How can I then expect to make any sort of wealth?

Of a craft and skill I still think any

Love is Only Fool's GoldYou left me here in the darkness
With no light to guide my way
Your laughter echoes in my head
Of how you said you'd stay

And I, I never believed in love
And I, I never asked for anything
And I, I let you make me dream
And now, now I don't believe in anything
Love is only fool's gold

You, you're the one that took my hand
Pulling me into your embrace
You promised no more pain for me
And you lied right to my face

And I, I never believed in love
And I, I never asked for anything
And I, I let you make me dream
And now, now I don't believe in anything
Love is only fool's gold

I stand here now a broken thing
Tattered, torn and da

Place of Not-MeClosed behind my sight
Wrapped inside my very thoughts
I become all I can sense
And I sense all that is

I am the acrylic rain
That restlessly stands still
That shatters me to pieces
Into dust and stars far gone

All's realised through me
Existence cheated by impossibility
Its plastic darkness spreads
And fills my conscious awareness

And veins so cold and slow
Bleed in this place of not-me
I stay but cannot remain
My comprehension overloaded
My mind stretched to infinity

I can be no more

Mess With Me?You flash that fake smile of porcelain white
Lies from your lips spill as birds in flight
Your eyes contain that luminous gleam
That artificial bright and friendly beam

I chuckle low and snuggle deep
And hold the secrets that you keep
I wait for the day when I can bring you down
In front of all I'll expose the clown

Should have known better than to mess with me
Vengeance is a playground where I am free
So go ahead and have your say
Insanity's lose and ready to play.

Heartless Hospitality~You have your games
and I have mine
You have your means to an end
And I have nothing but time

Everyone looks at me with death in their eyes
Some kind of cooked up betrayal I committed
No use in me denying these lies
There is nothing left to be said

I come knocking at your door
And you deny me the simple warmth
Of your arms and your heart
Letting this wall keep us apart

I sit here alone with myself
And I understand
I've cut off the rotten limb that got me nowhere
Cut off the screams of "It's not fair!"

What is the use of jealousy
What is the use of feeling these feelings?
I tell you I don't care for you anymore
You caused this conclusion w

Trick or treatBlack cats,
Howling wolves,
Masks everywhere.
The moonlight dancing,
Shadows prancing,
As screams fill the air.
Trick or treat,
The children speak,
Painted faces.
Ghouls,
Witches,
Ghosts all around.
The life of this night will never be found.
All hallows eve,
Is lost to us now.
Trick or treat?
I think not.

The Death of DreamsKneeling before the alter of pain
She bows her head yet once again
Reaching out hands that tremble so
There is no choice but to let it go
No tears fall from her dark blue eyes
No sound is heard for she swallows her cries
Clenching her fists until her palms do bleed
The cold alter from these red raindrops feed
Unloved is all she has ever known
This alter of pain is her only home
Palms now held up to the uncaring sky
She releases her dreams and lets them fly
Empty and cold she turns and walks away
Her dreams have always been doomed anyway

ObsoleteObsolete.

Everyone is too wrapped in their own lives to even care about yours.

But what they fail to remember is that this earth is only the first of many floors.

Tears cascade, smiles appear and fade while the universe continues to ignore,

As they impatiently knock and wait outside life's man made divisible door.

So when they become to self involved in the successes of their own cause.

Just remember this world,

Bluesque IllusionReach over the sun
You need to see ahead of yourself
Reach over the sun out
You've already seen how to be broken

Reach over the sun so
You can be ready soon
Reach over the sun out
Believe in your tears that soaked your skin

I can never see what's ahead of me
A never-ending yearning crossroad
Is flesh really worth to hold on to?
I touch it and it always feels so cold

I've never seen a blue sky
I wonder if it's searching
For every broken dreambound
On what life has left for us

There's something about blue that attaches me
To the point of crying scarlet
Its illusion sometimes in a deeper shade
Leaving me yearning for what's left of loving

Could it be...Could it be
That the clues I leave
Are really just holes
Just emptying my soul

Could it be
That no one can see
The pictures I draw
Of the things I saw

Could it be that
I write things people forget
And the things I say
Are forgotten within a day

Could it be that
People regret
Reading the things I write
And I just don't know it yet

Could it be
You can't understand me
And all my dreams
Aren't possible in this reality

Could it be
That I don't know myself
That I can't actually ever say
What I want to say

Could it be
That you are all deaf
And there is no reason left
To go on with me and continue talking

Could it be
That I just don't know

BittersweetThey shun me, for my bitterness,
They are glad to see me gone,
They know not the lessons they could have learnt,
Nor the joys they could have gathered.
I come and go, often unexpected,
Sometimes for long periods I stay,
Other times I leave very soon,
Many do not love me,
They know not the sweetness hiding within,
A thorny path with a quenching drink
From the Well of life at end,
Embrace me, please,
For I shall show you the way to love,
Through shadow and night,
You shall rise, steel unbreakable from fire,
I shall harden your resolve,
Soften your soul in compassion,
Filling darkness with a paradox of light,
Embrace me, for I shall lead to t

NuclearDeath came thundering on a swirling wind
A pale white smile, a skeleton that grinned
Some chose to run some chose to fight
And death howled laughter in pure delight
Fruitful earth now lay scorched and bare
Blood red waters in the flame's red glare
None were spared that grisly night
When humanity declared war with a nuclear light
Fools they were, fools they have always been
Willing to strike a storm where no one can win

The CHAMPION BullyYeah YOU, you think I don't know you?
I know you by your stench, the way you walk
That stupid twitch in your dull colored eyes

Look at her, YEAH HER
Standing on the sidelines
Eyes vacant, head hanging
Too tired to even cry any more
I know you are her enemy
By her involuntary cringe
As your worthless molecules pass by

So this makes you better? Really?
Bigger, stronger, more important?
You were able to terrify someone
With your tiny brain and huge mouth?

Tell you what you arrogant fool
If you truly want to be worst
The biggest, the baddest
The strongest of all
Take my hand, yeah right now
Come over here and look right there

Listen to the muttering of a dead heart~Lets just forget about each other
Lets walk separate paths down the road
If we go different ways we'll be better
And we won't have to act so icy cold

I'm starting to get used to
Being alone at night
I'm starting to get used to
Our difference in height

I don't really know your thoughts
I only know half of mine
But I like to pull away
And you don't seem to mind

Can I just keep my mouth shut though?
Can I keep going the way I am
With my head going through the clouds
And your feet firmly planted on land

I'm ready for an artificial life
And I'm ready for you to choose for yourself
I can't tell you to your face
But at least I am honest with mys

Reason To Believe"Reason To Believe"

I long for hope that burns inside of me
Because there are so many things that I've never seen
So many places that I've never been
So much beauty that has yet to begin

This hope I long for that burns inside of me
Is the means and reason for me to believe
In all the things I've known and everything I have
For things can never really be that bad.

This hope I have is what pushes me forward
Slightly northward and around the corner
Its what gets me by each and every day
Because you never know what tomorrow may convey

You never really know what the future holds
Some days are bronze while others are gold
You never r

Blizzard of the WolfIce and snow hiss loudly as they blend
Weaving snakes over the river bend
The willow weeps in snaps and cracks
Beneath which the wolves run in packs
Paw prints vanish beneath the snow
As the howling wind continues to blow
Under the full moon's bright savage glare
Nothing but white is seen everywhere
A black shadowed wolf raises his regal head
And sings to the pack that he has led
This mournful howl blends with the night
Under the blizzard's scream of pure delight

Burnt LoveDo not believe those silly lies
Of happiness and sunny skies
Walking along happy as can be
Love will strike you blind you see
For a little while you will rejoice
Thinking your heart has made its choice
Then reality will slither your way
And hell will become your normal day
Love is nothing but shattered glass
Sharp and ready to rip your ass
Don’t be stupid you silly fool
Run like hell from this deadly duel

Lady RavenLady Raven stands on the roof top ledge
Black gleaming eyes peering over the edge
Beautiful dusky feathers are tinged with red
And bones show through where she has bled
Her wings are broken and useless now
From stones and rocks thrown at her brow
Just some wicked child's ruthless game
Who taught such a thing should die of shame
Somehow she manages to still stand tall
Upon the edge of this man-made wall
Lady Raven then jumps into the air
And spreads her broken wings with flair
She plummets down towards the earth
Slightly gliding on the wind's wide berth
Broken body meets soil in a cry of pain
Then there is nothing to feel again
Although Lady R

Valentine's Day? UGHA blood-colored box in the shape of a heart
What an ironic way to express a poisonous dart
Well perhaps that might be the best way
To also show how love doth decay
So here I stand with my little red box
Crimped firmly shut with bleeding locks
Digging a grave with a blackened spoon
I bury this trinket under the glow of the moon
No love for me, not for even one day
So to all I whisper: screw Valentine's Day.

The Path To InsanityEyes of green flame and smile of barbed wire
Insanity is a muse of toxic smoke and fire
Clawed fingers snap striking fear to the bone
Always choosing those who are utterly alone
A question is asked with a blood-curdling scream
Do you dream to forget or forget in order to dream?
Answer quite carefully even though neither is wrong
Insanity does not care where you think you belong
The sum of your character, your flaws and your fear
To insanity all are immediately clear
A forked path is before you and it is your choice
Either deny this demon or into submission give voice
This savage darkness will happily eat you alive
So choose very wisely if you

Lady Justice

by *InsanityAdjuster, Dec 7, 2012, 8:15:33 PM
Literature / Poetry / Sociopolitical / Free Verse

No scream is heard with her lips sewn shut
No truth is seen because her eyes were cut
No justice is written for her hands are tied
No faith has she because her soul has died
As the world careens totally out of control
And people trade addictions for their soul
The collapse of morality becomes a torrid flood
As Lady Justice weeps tears of blood
