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

Broken LoveFractured fingers of splintered ice
Through the heart do swiftly slice
Like shards of sharp broken glass
Easily frozen if you do it fast
Tears are only but salty water
Leading you to bloody slaughter
So quickly now, before you bleed
Give up this stupid childish need
Love is nothing but a dream
It shall only make you scream
So give it up and toss it far away
There’s nothing but pain if you go that way
So run, hide quickly in sanity’s hills
For some love does not save, it only kills

UnforgivingDo not tell me you did not know
Or claim so innocently that it is not so
Do not even dare look in my eyes
And tell me more of your stupid lies
No willing victim in me you will find
I am not weak and I am not blind
I warned you once and will not again
You can call me enemy no longer friend
I am not forgiving and I do not forget
What shit you give you can expect to get

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

Too good for meLooking at your perfect face
Envying your delicate grace

Your delightful sense of humor
You don't indulge in rumors

Everything you do is right
No mistakes to cast a blight

You try to include me
Even though you can see
That I am jealous
Full of confused malice

In the end I'm forced to see
That you are so much more than me

I'm lost confused and broken
My thoughts on life unspoken

I know that you would listen
Your eyes would begin to glisten

In the end I can't stand to see
You crying over me

So I'll fade into the distance
You can forget my existence

Behind the Mask With MeI....Inside this porcelain mask
N....None are allowed to see or ask
S....Slinking just beneath the skin
A....Are things best left within
N....Not one knows who is inside
I....In this disguise where I hide
T....Tell me your secrets and do not lie
Y....Your deepest desires that you deny

A....All your dark dreams I can hold
D....Deep within my soul so cold
J....Just let me take your private hell
U....Under the skin where I dwell
S....Sanity is way over-rated you see
T....Take my hand and come with me
E....Enter my lair of your own free will
R....Reality destruction is my special skill

Hate is a BeastHate is a beast that hides within
Full of bile and fractured sin
It reeks of smoke and brimstone death
Growling viciously with every breath
Beware, beware oh innocent one
This beast can be inside anyone
Don’t watch the smile, the smile lies
Look deeply, deeply into the eyes
And even then you cannot be sure
This beast is cunning and has allure
Many have died within its embrace
This monster behind a very kind face
My only advice is politically incorrect
But would you rather reap regret?
Trust must be earned and seen very clear
Innocent? No, not until proven my dear

Safety FirstThe Fool returns
To prove his loyalty

What's his mark?
He asks
Not important

Would it be that I'd prefer a random kill as proof
He wonders
No

Then what?
He presses
Safety first

Confusion
Common of all unseasoned killers
Who come my way looking for revenge

Your gun
I hint
But alas he is a fool

To kill me
The safety must be off first
As it is not-

*Bang*

You are simply my only true friend...poemWhen my emotions are locked,
I know I can rely on you
to listen to me.
You're the only one to understand
me,
to give me a hand.
When I have a thought,
you will always help me
express it.
You don't even judge me for
who I am.
When the world leaves me,
I know you will stay besides me.
Forever.
Oh how much I love you.
People come and go,
but you will forever
stay with me.
In reality,
you are my only true friend....poem.

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

The weight of a secrether secret is heavy to wear
Sometimes, she wants to scream
disgust, shame, sorrow

her secret is toxic
her body is contaminated by a feeling of guilt

her secret is a spider's Web
one thing that has devastated her teens

how could she forgotten?
If nobody is listening of her pain

Missing Pieces.I am a missing piece. Something that someone needs.
But at the same time, I feel so incomplete.
I’ve wandered way too far, wondered for far too long
Am I a missing piece? Or a piece that won’t belong?

Is it possible I’m damaged and not missing at all?
That I’m just as dysfunctional as everybody else?
Pretending to be perfect never softened a single fall.
But neither did admitting that you’re broken and flawed.

A broken missing piece. Is that all I’m meant to be?
There is no master plan that includes the likes of me.
Being all alone, it’s a hurt that will not cease.
A hundred thousand years from now

CryDon’t cry anymore
For the fighting is over
Except within us

Repulsive By DesignLet me tell you this my friend
And I will tell you no more
If my passion is your crime
Then your love should be my law

I’m the exception to the rule
And the end of this blood line
I should hang my head in shame
I am repulsive by design

Allow me to elucidate
And I will tell you no lie
I am charged with being charmless
And I have no alibi

Feloniously you broke my heart
One chamber at a time
Though I’d expect nothing less
I am repulsive by design

Beware of the broken hearted
Indeed consider with caution
Repulsion cleansed my sorry soul
Such a spiritual abortion

But when a full term of sorrow
And low self esteem combine
I still r

denial can only stretch so farwhen asked if i am
in love, i shall say, no. well,
maybe a little.

Vengeance deep and looking for you

Valentine's Day? UGH

by *InsanityAdjuster, Feb 13, 2013, 8:40:56 PM
Literature / Poetry / Humor / Free Verse

A 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.
