RebirthThe ravage comes to plea defeat,
Pride's old throne, an empty seat.
Once inked paper now found bare,
As my muse's whispers now turn rare.

Questions sent to looming corners,
Treading blindly to tear down barriers.
I must look like the losing warrior,
Thrust in battle without an armor.

Inspirations seeped from dry wells,
Like squeezing flame from a million hells.
The spill of flow embedded in night,
My soul's sanctuary trapped in fright.

The stars of hope flicker far,
Watching me grovel in this hour.
A fool I was to deafly pretend,
A blank canvas would never descend.

Yet in these spells of solid bind,
Are plenty gold and treasu
Shadow in the night
I hear you creep,
I hear you sneak.
Footsteps behind me!
A shadow sweeps across the empty lot.
My heart beats franticly in my chest,
As I quicken my pace.

The fear takes over,
As a twig snaps!
Just a bump in the night I tell myself.
But I know better.
I feel his eyes on me!
His gaze of death.

His skin as ice,
The grin of a madman!
I have encountered this monster before.
Not even human enough to be a man.
His eyes like flamed daggers!
Digging into my flesh!

A scream escapes my lips,
As I meet his gaze.
My skin crawls,
And I become ice cold,
As he draws closer.
I cannot think! I cannot move!

The end has come,
The end of
Midnight DanceYour fingers slide in between mine,
Our hands perfectly entwined.
Your arm wraps tenderly around my waist,
As you whirl me around and we trace
imaginary patterns on the floor.
Everything about you I adore,
as my head lies gently on your shoulder,
And we dance a dance that is older
Than time itself.

Your scent engulfs my mind,
And brings with it memories so refined,
Filled with pure emotion,
To you I promise complete devotion.
My senses are drowned out,
So that there is no room for any doubt,
Past worries and fears I twirled
As I fell into another world.

Hope and love fill my heart
As we perfect this dying art.
My dreams fal
InvincibleThey say that I can't last much longer,
Grinning as I scream in pain
And laughing as I gasp for air.
But they won't reach their goal.

"Daddy, you'll be back, won't you?"
Her words still echo in my head,
A piece of happiness I keep within.
"Of course, my angel. Sooner than you'd think."

Darkness embraces my consciousness,
And every breath becomes a struggle,
But still I hear her worried voice.
"Promise?" she asks. "Promise." I answer.

And as I lie here on the floor,
Beaten, bloody, and alone,
I feel my heart beating in my chest,
Fighting to fulfill my promise.

"But how can you know?" she calls
As I'm halfway out the door.
I
Let Me KnowIf you love me, let me know
I don't mean to beg
But please don't let me go

If you don't want me, tell me now
I'll be able to handle it
Even if I don't know how

If you don't want to see me, give it to me straight
I'll walk out of your life
But I'll never forget your face

If you want my friendship, don't be afraid to ask
I'm willing to move forward
The rest is in the past

Just let me know what it is you want
And I'll be happy to do so
To me your happiness means so much
I'm willing to let you go
Grief of a GhostThe light I always imagined
  The transportation I have longed
 Have not come of this new state
  What have I done to be so wronged?

 All around me has not changed
  The house I always knew
 And the walls the same color
  The air the same hue

 Yet when I lift my hand
  In front of my cold face
 I see right through the figure
  Barely a line left to trace

 As I take a step, or clench my fist
  I feel my limbs as floating gossamer
 My whole form is but a mist
  I never imagined it would be like this
 When I ceased to exist

 I hear in the next room
  Cries of weep and woe
 Familiar cries of my mother, my f
NumbWhat is this feeling?

I don't understand.

I want to explain

But I don't think I can.

Is it really true?

Am I turning this numb?

It just can't be!

I must feel some!

Why is this happening?

Why can't I feel?

Is this all just a dream

Or is all of this real?

Someone please tell me.

Please help me feel.

I'm so tired of feeling numb.

I just wanna heal.

The pain, the sorrow,

The joy, the tears.

Yes! I want all of them!

Even all the fears!

I'm so wanting,

Longing to feel again.

This curse is so haunting,

It's like a dead end.

So, if I were you,

Be glad you can feel.

Be thankful you're not numb.

At least you are real.

     
DreamsYou are as young as you feel
Quite cliché, but it is quite real
Everybody wants to live their dream
Sometimes getting caught up in the stream

They flow down the river
Sometimes they slightly shiver
Fearing that they don't know where the river will end
Will it be a good or a bad end?

They spend their lives securing their lives
Sometimes not even living their lives
They want to keep what they got
Getting caught up in their own plot

Starting to regret the things we missed
Sometimes even making us a bit pissed
Asking ourselves each day: what if?
Sometimes we even slightly sniff

The future is about to unfold
We cannot turn ol
I KnowI know that you need space
Time away from everything
So you can find your place

I know that you still think about me
Some small thing we used to do may trigger a memory
Remind you of how things used to be

I know that you still care
You're good at hiding how you feel
But maybe something is still there

I know there are a lot of things you don't know
Life can be overwhelming
I'm sure you'll go far, though

I also know that you will always have a special place in my heart
We might not be together
Friendship may be a good place to start
Fight for our DreamsFight for our Dreams

All our dreams are at stake.
The world stands against them.
It tries to take them away from us.
It tries to take our only free world and destroy it.

The hate of people is what drives us to imagine and dream.
And in that world we are free to live as we want.
Our imagination is the only limit to what we can achieve there.
But regardless of how we protect it the people want to destroy it.

They want to take away our precious and bound it into darkness.
They want to see us suffer and on our knees.
All of that is because they lack the imagination of kids.
Those in control desire our failure so they can devour our cr
A Letter to YouI hate this confusion,
And I can't figure it out
Figure out why I can't pull myself out of this rut

I want to say it is all your fault,
But yet I want to say it's mine,
And I just don't know,
And I hate it so much
It fills me with this outraged anger
The kind that tempts you to put your fist through a wall

I feel like because of you I can never like or love another
Or however you want to put it,
But I don't have that desire to be you
Because of all I went through with you,
And it just seemed like I never had a chance to begin with

You raised me up and basically told me that I did have a chance,
And then you dropped me and that
JoyOne magical summer was all it took
For me to fall in love with you
I was no longer a closed book
I finally found someone I could talk to.

Picnics in the middle of the forest
Flowers in my hair
A thousand vows we promised
Never each other's happiness to impair.

We stand peering into the lake
My reflection always right next to yours
Nothing on Earth could ever break
Our eternal love on these shores.

The enchanting summer of 2012
The season that changed my life
With you into another world I would delve
A world completely absent of strife.

And now I confidently beside you stand
Beautifully adorned in my ivory dress
Our futures a
SolitaireAlone, so alone.

No one here here but me

I am on my own.

Shivers up my spine,

Dark thoughts are in my mind.

People's lives going on everywhere

While I play this game called solitaire.

Someone please save me from my misery.

Please tell me that life is not what it's cracked up to be.

Tell me that love will prevail.

Tell me that I did not utterly fail.

Alone,so alone

I am locked here on my own.

Someone please come

So I can finally come undone.

I'm searching for someone but I don't know where.

Please come to me and tell me that you care.

Hello? Is anybody out there?

But until you answer, I will continue playing solitaire.

 
.Imagination Land.Words of nothing eat at my flesh,
While dreams and imagination start to crash,
A burst of life, soon gone,
A thought races through your mind,
Gone in a flash.
As soon as you open eyes,
Don't blink.
For you will find yourself lost in creativity,
A world known by few,
Seeming something new,
And everything is possible,
In the world around you.
The BeingWhite noise, white light
Moonlight, sleep tight
Pick up your pen
Your notebook then
Let your body loose.

They're all sleeping
But your heart is keeping
Inventory
Of all the cracks
Rips and craters
Sanity- see you later.

They're all sleeping
But your mind is beeping
One new message
To be played
How it wants out!
What's it thinking 'bout?

They're all sleeping
But your soul is creeping
All around
Must you meddle?
Only want to see
Ancient history?

Smothered
Quilts and inquisitions.
Conspirators come out.
Heart mind and soul
Ready to shout
Everything you are about.

Do you want to risk a dream?
What might they show?

Conngratulations!"Congratulations! Congratulations! To the bride and groom"

They cheer with elation but I with gloom.

Yes! I am bitter.

I am bitter as can be.

How can I not when you said you loved me?!

I watch as the bride enters the room.

Man! I wanna hit kill her and hit her with a broom.

Of course, you're not exempted.

Did you think that you were?

It just goes to show, you DO belong with her.

Both of you sicken me and make my guts turn.

I wanna get some gas and watch you both burn.

And I'll be laughing

As you both scream in pain.

You'll hate me forever

And think I'm insane.

But I don't care

It felt good anyway!

By the way, congratulations
No angel comes downI was mistaken and now I know.

This isn't one of your fairy tale shows.

I thought you were sent from above

And that we were forever meant to love.

But I guess no angel comes down

From the high to the dusty ground.

I guess you're not who you seemed to be.

After all this pain you brought to me.

I thought I'd learn to live without it.

But I still have to leave the light lit.

Because angels don't come down

From the high to this rundown town.

I was naive ti think you were you.

I wish back then I had a clue

That angels don't come down.

Especially for the likes of me,

A girl with no money and family.

Eyes on mePeople are watching every move that I make.

I must blindly obey for much is at stake.

Watched and controlled like a puppet on strings.

Of course, they don't know how it hurts and it stings.

Everyone's eyes are directed at me.

Just like a show for everyone to see.

Watched with pre-caution and told to be "good".

They say it's because I should act like I should.

I play the act, my part, take my place

And get ready for the crowd that I know I must face.

Some cheer, some scorn, some shed bitter tears.

But they'll never know my secret fears.

I don't know why this thing has to be.

But all I know is that their eyes are on me.

Let you control my life,

I didn't even fight.

I'm wide awake.

How could I have been so blind?

I'm wide awake.

And now I'm letting go.

Now I really know

I shouldn't be this low.

I'm wide awake.

I'm gonna really say good-bye.

I shouldn't have done

What I have done.

I have to accept you're finally gone.

I know that it hurts

And it's so bitter-sweet.

But you let me fall on the concrete.

You left me here die

But I'm now I'm letting you go .

Your love was just a lie.

Now I know what I know.

I'm saying my good-bye.

I just reaped what I sow.

And so this is this the end.

I'm gonna write a
FarewellDedicated to J.L.B.
If he still cares enough to read my work (which is less likely)
I still feel the same as I did 3 years ago.

I swore that I will never write

If ever you would leave my side.

Cause all that's left is emptiness

And nothing but words left unsaid.

So, now that you are really gone,

I will leave all that I find fun.

I know I can't write once again

Because this is where it all ends.

To all my friends, I'm glad to say

That you've helped me along the way.

And gave me strength to carry on.

Just look at all that I have spawned!

To all of those who like my work,

I'm so sorry if I'm such a jerk.

Run

:iconmebwrittings:

I need to escape,

I need to be free.

I must surely run wild.

I long to laugh and see.

Run, run I shall run out of fear.

I will flee from the threat.

I shall go far not near.

A place that is safe,

That is what I need.

I need no familiar face

So, I take off with speed.

Forget what I have left

For it is surely gone.

Time is running out,

They will be awakened by dawn.

So, I gather my things

And swiftly go away.

There's nothing left for me here

And no reason to stay.

But I'll admit, I'm glad that I'm free.

After years of being controlled, I can finally be me.

The above deviation is an entry to the ESCAPE Contest hosted and organized by #creativitytoconcept

[link] Here is the link to the journal if you guys wish to join. :D

Well it said that I should write about... two sentences on how this portrays escape...so... here goes:

The way this portrays escape is very straightforward and direct to the point. This are the words of a person bereft of freedom and love. The person is saying that he wants to be free of the bonds of which he is a captive. That's all.:D
