He came up to me today while I was presenting

Nagging me and pushing me to fail;

I had to leave the class

His big stature overwhelms me

And I drown in his grip

He follows me from the bus stop

And whispers in my ear until I go crazy

My contentness turns to fear when I see him

And he makes my mind run with anxiety

Every dark room and corner

He appears in front of me

I relax while I am sleeping

Knowing he is locked out of my house

But when my mind wanders to life altering event

Like asking someone out or pursuing a goal

He breaks down the door and robs my house

Leaving me helpless and in his control

Grab the knife You don't want to do that

Yes you do. Don't listen to them You will regret it I promise

He has wronged you too much It was an accident. He didn't mean to

That car didn't crash itself did it? He had to swerve to stop from hitting a kid

And you have to pay for that? No Would you rather have had a kid die

Who cares? You broke both of your legs He should not be punished for an accident

What about the thousands in car damage? It's just money. You will regret it

Don't listen to them! It's a tragedy, but he is sorry for hurting you

He doesn't deserve a life Everyone's life is valuable

You can't even walk anymore! It was an accident he saved a kid's life

But remember he ruined yours Think about the jail time

Oh jail smail it's worth it No it's not.

Do it Don't do it

Trust me Trust me

Dusty stairs leading to the attic

Cobwebs and spider legs

Creaky wood deafens the ears

Halloween night

Sheer white sheets with eye cutouts

Scary ghouls,

Monstrous to the core

With blood dripping onto the viewer's skin

Ghosts, they say

But another kind say angels

Ones who dress in white of purity

Not horror or evil

Gold rings above the ears

That lead the way into the light

And appear when manifested

From the light during birth

They follow you on your journey until the light to the afterlife

Protecting, not scaring

Not in the form of poltergeists

But in the people that we love the most

Alone in my bedroom

Just me and the stars

They seem so lonely too

My mind rushes with commotion

Yet it does so by itself

Single thoughts are isolated

Left to be discovered on their own

Trapped in my mind I start to think

Really think about everything

No other soul to share with

No other mind to connect to

No other heart to break

It eats my brain until there is only skull

My eyes bulge and explode into nothingness

While my soul is lifted from its cell

I invited others to my house party

But they are always busy

So my mind is left to its own devices

And what it does is unsettling

But that's what happens what you are alone

Through your eyes

I see myself

Every flaw, every mistake

That tries to seep into the perfections

I see the similarities

I see where we grew up, what we lost and gained

They say we are so different

That we could only understand by walking in each others' shoes

But we have the same shoe size

Fears, hopes, dreams, fantasies, sorrows, regrets, passions

All of it I see in me

Through your eyes

Exploding stars and crumbling skies

Draining oceans and sinking cities

Tears and sorrow and regret and--

no no no

Joy and serenity and excitement

Systems and molds obliterated

No more rules

No more misery

Now just wonder

Lights die and chaos rise

Last thoughts appear

And all that is spoken is

"finally"

She was the epitome of beauty

Hair of warm honey and eyes of cinnamon sticks

A smile that would make demons confess their sins

A unique figure that would show itself by mention

Her equally astonishing shadow followed behind her

Chasing the men in the street with its owner

With the angelic smile fixed on her face

She tucked her hair behind her ears

And killed yet another batch of them

Ones who mistook her beauty for innocence

Oh, how I hate you

I despise every gesture, every smirk

Every glace in my direction

I hate what you did

And how you don't care at all

How unbothered you are at how bothered I am

If I could hurt you like you hurt me

If I could treat you as if you were a rock in a diamond mine

As if you did not matter

I think I would

But my heart does not allow for such revengeful thoughts

Despise my mind's constant nagging

So if I could do what you did to me

You would wish we never met
