Literature Text

We are the invisible ones
The ones they don't notice
But we're always there
Together
United
Living our lives
On our own
Proudly unknown
Not caring anymore
About what they think of us
Being ourselves
Always

a shadow

i'm a ghost barely existing present but not really a shadow of a person quiet and discrete not rocking the boat not standing out always avoiding the spotlight a mere afterthought a background character in everyone's stories with no role to play and i like it that way

Fake

Hello, I smile with my best smile I try to be nice and polite Like all the human kind Truth to be told I don’t care But I pretend I know it’s not fair But I’m not your lover, not your friend Dead end. I act and do my best to not sound fake And not to allow any mistakes My act is great I perfected it Hello, I shake your hand I even give you a hug And even call you a friend Surrender, throw a white flag Yay, you love and adore me One heart is down And one more time I’m back on the run I’m chasing the ghosts Forgetting my friends I knock at the devil’s doors Shake with him hands I’m cursed to nev

Literature

Absence

She used to lie awake all night consuming letters with voracity; it was the utopian lair she created to slip away from the turbulent world. Only too soon she learned that you can't always hide within parchment crevices. (reality always finds you) Even now, when she yearns to fall between printed canyons, she can't help but curse those passive and lethargic days; "It's too damn easy to fall in love with words on a page."

Literature

I have nothing to write

I have nothing to write, nothing to share. I am lost for inspiration, and I don't even care. So what if I don't write? It's not like it's good. So what if I don't draw? It's not like I ever could. I don't need to create. It's all pointless in the end. I thought I loved my pen and brush, but they're just false friends.

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...

Guilt that eats

Maybe I should have questioned why your teeth always chattered like fingers clicking on a typewriter, and why your fingernails looked as though faint, blue ink had bled through but who questions anything but hair, makeup, and boys at the age of sixteen and maybe I should have noticed the lunches you spent doing homework, or listening to music, as you gave away your lunch, because you said you were not hungry- and I silently thought more for me and maybe I should have wondered why you walked through the hallways with pockets of graphite under your eyes, as your knees knocked together like keys on a lanyard: clink clink clank and maybe t

Literature

Introvert

Everyone's trying to get out of the shadow of their parents- I'm here trying to get out of the shadow of myself.

Literature

You're Not?

You're anorexic if you're thin You're not? Then you're obese. If you're different, you're insane You're not? Then you're a fake. If you're happy, you're hiding something. You're not? You must be emo. If you're dating, you're a slut. You're not? You must have no friends. If you're popular, you're a jerk. You're not? You're a nobody. If you're quiet, you must be disabled. You're not? You obnoxious freak. If you're you, you're wrong. You're not? Then you must be perfect.

Words to Emotion

I wish I could tell you I was doing okay the words and emotions would be one in the same I want to smile and feel the happiness rush through me what a world it would be if my emotions followed the words that I wished them to be.

Literature

Broken

I'm not broken, Just a little bent. All those words you've spoken, Just left me a little dent. My heart isn't shattered, It just has a crack. Sore, bruised, and battered, But my tears I hold back. Please don't worry about me. I'm fine, I swear. I just want you to see, That I'm still able to be repaired. Even though I'm hurt, damaged, and weakened, Even though I've felt so much pain. It doesn't mean I'm truly beaten, It just means that I'll need a little help again.

Literature

.

i drank the poison from your lips, i dug my fingers in the cracks between your ribs, held tight: a living vice and prayed that we would last the night. (but we suffocated in the cages of our bed covers, cold like the surface of the moon.)

Poem is beautiful. I couldn't agree more with what the message is. It relates to me on an unseen level. 😃
