"Life is like a Mountain"
My life is like a giant mountain, With rocks and sharp edges all over. Sometimes I slip and fall back to the rocky bottom, But I always get back up and successfully climb it once again.

"The Wolf"
In the gloominess of the night, While everything is still, Something moves without any light, Along the lonely hill. Through the darkness and erieness, It wanders among the shadows. Creeping through the loneliness, And through the deserted meadows. Weak and weary it lays to rest, Among the shrubs and bushes. Till the next night it is the best, But now it lays and hushes.

"SECRET SINS"
The days pass so slow. When there's nothing to do. The answers I don't know. But how I wish I knew. I'm all alone. Up here in my room. My soul plays a sad,sad song. My heart plays a tune of doom. The door is locked. The key is gone. Don't even knock. Until you hear my song. Those who don't know me. who only wish they did. Those are the ones who judge me of things I never said. Their plastic smiles. Their foriegn grins. My crooked miles. I'm reaching my ends. You think you're above me but I know you're not. Always below me. I hope you rot. All these sinful things I never forget. Our unattached srtings. My shoes never fit. Why do you act so real? I know you're fake. Why do you attempt to feel? You're nothing but a deadly snake. It's not right. That you're so free. Why do I try? It's so hard to be me. There's nothing left to do. This is all I have left. I only wish I knew. These secret sins you have kept. BY: Katie

"Graduation Day ©"
Time is gradually getting near, The day when high school life ends, Every eye will carry a tear, In that ONLY time will mend. Things will never be the same, These memories etched in stone, No one's high school years will ever change, Neither friendships they have known. Copyright ©: FastDan

"Evil's Work"
It's is not the devil that we must fear It is the followers that we must not go near Killing, torturing and haunting with an order I would call it a mental disorder... They say they must follow the instruction When they see total destruction They deny it for the fear of their jobs It only makes them pure bunch of snobs.... They think they're in control But they live with murder in their soul Melancholic lunatics wondering around with red eyes With such unlawful denies... They donot fear death for they know they'll encounter it soon At midnight, at night , in the morning or in the afternoon They know someday they'll pay the prize If only they had thought about it twice

"Trees at Half-Past"
Trees at Half-Past Gathered,confident, Gathered, prim, early or late, Brave and unadorned Save for a soft green bud-brooch Their poised heads reach up To the sky behind the glass On elegant necks That turn in acknowledgement Their feet dip down, sweep Miles down to some hidden ground, They nod cordially, Nod and bow and stand to tea Creak, tip, lean to hear, Stretch and moan and chat, content, Spindly forms so strong, Standing, lingering, sighing, Stately, standing to tea.

"Drowning in a lonely ocean"
Here I am, drowning in a lonely ocean. Overthrown from the ship of life, by the actions of my past. As the water crashes over my head, I see the face of the one soul that could save me. But she cannot save me, no. She is held back, by the actions.

""A Homeless Hell""
Her body is torn between reality and the non an almost tingle so close to death her fingers have almost felt it's crush She lays under the bridge, her head trying to balance on a limp neck, unfeeling from the drink of the day, hour, second Everything glows, or dims depending on the extreme heat of the day or almost painful freeze of the night Right now everything is an exhausting heat, but she can't force herself to move out of the heavy, beaded shawl she had once bought for $100 at Macy's, only pocket change at the time, now precious, her only true valued posession Her body is too weak, too vulnerable, too much of anything to be considerd real When people see her they laugh, jeer, cringe, avoid, but rarely do they ever feel thankful for not being where she is, and once in awhile she'll look at a nicely dressed business woman and think, I was there, believe me, I was once a person, I was once excepted, she pleads with those black circled eyes But they do little wondering about her, just another junky, bum...typical on the city streets decorated in trash, litter The only thing that makes her tick, where all her can collecting cash is deposited every other day is the thick brown bottle that ended her real life and gave her a one way ticket to this hell and she clutches that square bottle devouring a bitter, burning that takes so long to set in now days And yet the liquor store will except her as long as those crinkled bills come in, nothing else matters, and they will gratefully give her alchohol so that they can support their own families and not have to worry about insignificant garbage like herself She retreats to the alley and she cries over what she's lost and what she has to look forward to

"Technicolor"
I stood across the warmth Watching the technicolor of my pagan rituals, With an orgasmic blush I snicker at the idols that i once upheld, And every butterfly that once enticed me swarmed around my head In a blur of technicolor, But as the moons passed So have my obsessions; All the idols I once adored Have smashed themselves upon the edges of my heart, So now I find myself Looking across the warmth Searching for another idol To uphold and adore... This dedicated to all the crushes I have recently gotten over.

"Sleep"
i want to sleep i hope to dream to exscape into a better world a place where nothing matters I wish to cross planes to a realm where fantasy reins the place where future reveals and the present is made different I hope to exscape to where sanity doesn't matter Where my reality is warped and if there is pain I'll onlt awake again to relize it was not real I want to enter into my comatose door and walk into a different world......

"I Have Failed"
I pray at times, For someone to give me the power. To make it in this lost world, As I count down the hours. My body is still here, But my heart and soul are gone. It all happened at one time, When she said she moved on. I give up in this small world, Now nothing matters. I hate myself for trying, She dropped me like and egg, my heart splattered. Stupid people make dumb mistakes, I was added to that list. But my memory still remains, I still remember the first kiss.

"Just One Chance"
All he ever asked for, Was just that once last chance. He never knew he had the first, It's like a song where he can't dance. She told him after a fight, He lost the chance he was given. But he never knew he had one, If he did he would have been driven. Driven to make her happy, To make her every wish a reality. But until he lost it he never knew it was his, Sadly enough, this unfortunate fool is me. For one single chance to let her know, Without her turning her back. I'd do anything she has ever asked me, I could make up for the slack. Some say that makes me a failure, Sometimes I feel I can agree. I lost what little hope I had, I lost what matters to me. But if I die trying, As many times as I have already said. She will never know exactly how I feel, I'll keep that with me until I'm dead. I can't say what wouldn't matter to her, Anyway she wouldn't care. So why should I tell her anything, So I say I have nothing to share. Just learn to hide my feelings, Keep everything to myself. Makes her stay my friend, For pretending I could care less.

"Grandpa"
How can someone be so cruel, when I have suffered such a loss? They don't even know the pain that I have been going through. We got a phone call saying he was not going to make it through another night or two. The doctors told us he was too weak that he would pass away real soon. I could have done without knowing what I knew. But at least we got there in time to say "Grandpa, we love you." My family stood beside him and watched him take his last breath, for we knew he was now at peace and in a better place where cancer couldn't hurt him anymore. One day we will see him again and what a day that will be.

"Drowned Love"
My life is the darkness Until I see her smile As the sun dawned on the first day of time Her smile alights in her eyes and everything else for miles But the joy in her face and the light in her eyes Does not go far enough to reach her own heart On gossamer wings she flutters above my head And that which she once brightened, upon passing, turns once again dark She flies and floats and flutters and flirts Out of the reach of my longing hands Sometimes her caress is one of love But I know now it will never be me for whom she lands She toys with my emotions, and plays games with my mind The rules of which are never given, and change with a whim The barrier she places before me is one vast ocean Larger than space itself, it is an ocean across which I could never swim Be that as it may, stroke after stroke I take towards the opposite shore But I am drowning, and I doubt that she will ever even see I tried to use my love as a ship, but it has since drowned in a storm I watch in horror as I see a body slip below the waves, the one that once belonged to me I realize now that I can rise above the water And finally I will be able to say to her "Goodbye, forever"

"Pouring From My Veins"
I feel it run through my veins It surges through my body My heart racing My mind pacing My body becomes hot with rage My mind a blur The knife I take grasp No pain I feel as my skin is sliced The blood begins to run The slits become longer and deeper The blood now pouring from my veins The knife falls My body collapses As my mind runs And my eyes start to close The pool of blood becoming larger My heart stops My body lies there cold becoming stiff The pain now gone The life at an end

"Time"
Time passes by, But what does it pass? Is time seemingly taking away your chances, Your opportunities? Is it taking away friends, Or taking away love? Time was made by man, Yet time seems to make a man. Are we, the people then to be blamed, For the creation of time? Time forces us to rush, to hurry, Maybe to pass things by. Time controls a man. Do people die because of passing time? Is that our excuse, our reason? How could it be the reason when we made-up time? If time heals all wounds, What then did we do before time? What would it be called if there never was “time”? When people want to grow-up, We say, “Give it time.” But is time ours to give away? Time controls us. Time has no mind.. It seems to be like a programmed robot. Never changing. Never giving a those few extra minutes to get up, Or to wash your hair. Have we created a monster? Has our creation turned against us? A time machine the never seems to end? We’ve entered hopeless battle With an invincible, yet non-existent force. Is life better because of time or are we worse off? Are we, the people, time, or just the creators? What then, is time?

"Mental Love"
The softness of your lips feel like an electric burst of energy . having you caress me into eternity As our bodies collapse into each others minds. No love can be greater than u and I . WE can sustain this feeling by taking this farther into an exotic place . where no human kind has traveled and no vitality has survived. Bathing ourselves with wisdom and earth. A unification of love and trust . I cant conceive there's a stronger bond on this universe.

bleeding lips and a heart of stone, she searches deperately. she can't remember her name, it's lost somewhere in his eyes. he made her like this. shattered her heart and replaced it with cold. she can't remember who she was or who she was meant to be. he raped her mind and took it all away. now she is a statue. a prefect replica of a human being. words rehearsed and movements staged. she doesn't know anything except the lies that have been fed to her. she tried to be real and then he fucked with her head. now she has nothing. only him and the false feelings he implanted inside of her. she has nobody to blame. she let him come and lie and take her soul away. her memories are fuzy and covered with dust. she has a vague recollect of a time when she once smiled. a million miles and a million days between her and that place. she could never find her way back. he told her she loved him. he told her she would always be his. she let him take her. and feed these things into her head. and now she can never be her own again.

a thousand oceans wash my bones and bury me in sand. in my death bed of dust and stone you lie next to me, your hands on my cold hands. your desperate eyes look so alone next to mine. i told you we would live forever, by now you know i lied. you think of things we never said and everything we shared. dripping from your lips are words that i will never hear. alone again and you scratch your skin and tear your eyes out to save you from the pain. now you know how it was in my head with the ghosts and memories that haunted me. i lived my life tortured and then i left it all to you. my legacy of desperation, an entire life lived in fear. you loved me and you can always heal but the scars you gave yourself will never go away. a thousand reasons to stand and let go of my cold hands. and all you do is break yourself over and over until theres nothing left.

"I'd Do Almost Anything"
You make me want to bathe in acid to remove all residue of your touch. You make me want to take my heart and cut out all the bruises and such. You make me want to take my brain and dissect our memories. To cut you completely out of my life I'd do almost anything. I'd take my hair, one by one, and pull them from my head. I'd take my ears, rip them off to forget all the words you've said. I'd take my eyes, light them like candles to forget the way you look. To cut you completely out of my life I'd do anything it took.

In a dimly lit room with smoky-stale air by the ancient stirring of a gout-knuckled hand hoping to find that perfect elixer to change man's lead into gold Ancient flasks, timeless vessels pretenders to the essence of life with modern labels of redds and Black and a castle light... "forget the stoumach, this is good for the soul" with one - you're happy with two - on a roll And thus they sit fools gladly turning gold into nothing in their quest to turn nothing into gold Not realising in a living Vessel lies the fountain of life And their worthless tincture is a fool's paradise
