tune

I cannot stand the silence
The booming silence pounding at my head.
Where’s the laughter, the voices
The footsteps
It’s all getting softer
I’m deaf to the sound of living
But I can hear the silence.
It’s not fair
They don’t hear the silence
I want to be like them
Because
I cannot stand the silence.

“Dullard”
An itching, scratching need
To take out this density
Ever day is dulled, the edge never appearing
And I’m not trying, but I am
Help, but I don’t just think anyone can
God, I’m sorry
I’m not one of your daughters, it feels
I’m reading your Bible, I’m praying your prayers
But I don’t think I’ve put you as the center of my life
Please help me, I want to be yours forever
I see you everywhere I look
In the crook of my friends’ smiles, the plants creeping through the frost, the words Father Haan utters
In the mindset you’ve helped me develop, in the abilities you’ve given my friends, in the lessons teachers teach me
But my heart is still dulled, there is no edge to my day
Lord, if it is your will, please put the sharpness in my life
The edge of knowledge, of knowing how magnificent you are, of the people who struggle but find themselves in you
I don’t want to be dull, to have Pharaoh’s hardened heart
I don’t see a way without you to guide me
Please give me something to feed
To extinguish this itching need

“Blackout”
Gas stations, cars
GPS, lights, computers
Phones, iPads, sinks
Toilets, TVs, pianos
Machines, incinerators, clocks
Electricity, glowing ruddy yellow
Shocking, invigorating, life-giving
Life machines, water turbines
Microwaves, toasters, coffee makers
Fridges, showers, air conditioners
Potentially, plausibly, possibly
stop
Blackout
A word unutterable, unwanted
by all of us today
Let’s hope fervently
it never happens
or else
Society might collapse

Maybe we're all just satellites
Drifting through space
Some of us on set paths and others who just chase
What catches their eye
We pass each other, pass others, from time to time
And then we're back on our own
It's a vast emptiness we're trapped in
Searching for signs of life
Or something to justify what we do

ANOTHER BAD POEM. PART II WILL BE OUT AS SOON AS I CAN THINK

ooooooooh I love that! It's really good!

I cannot stand the silence
The booming silence pounding at my head.
Where’s the laughter, the voices
The footsteps
It’s all getting softer
I’m deaf to the sound of living
But I can hear the silence.
It’s not fair
They don’t hear the silence
I want to be like them
Because
I cannot stand the silence.

that's really good!

thank you!

Y'all are really good! And thanks Ravens!

rainbow, pt. 1
a beacon of hope for a group of people who were ostracized and mocked by the rest of society.
a beacon of hope for a group of people who were ostracized and mocked by the rest of society.
i see no difference.
choose, the world screams, you cannot be one without destroying the other.
i cannot.
both rainbows are part of me.
if you kill one, you kill me too.
they have melded and melted and dripped together down that long long pane of glass
until i can no longer tell which is which.

Somebody once told me
To eat my vitamin C
But I'm not very fond of the meds
I was feeling kinda dumb
As I chewed my minty gum
Watching it as all the virus's spread

Well, the undead keep coming and they don't stop coming
Fed brains to those fools and hit the ground running
Didn't make sense to stand there with a gun
Your skin gets gross and you become quite dumb
So much to do, so much to see
So what was wrong with killing those three?
You should try and keep with the flow,
The radiation shines and it glows.

Hey now, you're a shooting star, get your gun on, skies grey
Hey now, you're a walk star, get your brains on, get slayed
All your blood has gone cold,
Only silver bullets break the mold.

(That's all I have right now. What do you guys think?)

is that
is that All Star by Smash Mouth??????

Pfft… Lol. Yeah. I made my own parody and it is pretty epic.

It's AMAZING actually

Ha ha, thanks. I made it in like… ten minutes in the middle of physics. lol.

I finished it.

All your blood has gone cold,
Only silver bullets break the mold.

It’s a nuclear place so watch over your shoulder
You’re crouched down now, watching the whole world smolder
But the walking dead couldn’t get stiffer
Judging by the hole in this grainy old picture
The line of tension is getting pretty thin
The water is polluted so you probably shouldn’t swim
My world is literally on fire, how bout’ yours?
I really hate it and I’m getting pretty bored

Somebody once asked me
If I could spare a mask for the gas?
I need to get myself away from this place.
I said no, get your own set.
I need to keep the mask for myself
And we all could use a big change.

Ha ha thanks. I had trouble writing that part but I am happy with the result.

PART TWO YOU GORGEOUS FUCKERS
Maybe we are all just satellites
But we aren't all alone
Space is full of mysteries to solve
And new faces to meet, you know
And the stars are there beside you
No matter where you go
They whisper words of encouragement
And watch you as you grow
They smile fondly upon you
So don't dare let them down
Live your life as you drift
And collide with other satellites
The stars, they watch you fondly
And you will never be alone

beautiful

The first part is like sad and lonely and the second part is WARM

Depression,
is a funny little thing.
You're "cool" for having it
and its portrayed as angst

But you see,
when I was told
that my boyfriend tried to
kill himself

I felt nothing
I didn't even feel
as if I was breathing
nothing

Sitting upright in bed,
barely able to feel your soft blankets
your head not even there
you feel nothing
and you know its not right

They pressure you to be normal
They push you to be happy
You see their smiles
you copy them, but it's not the same

You cry silently,
fearful
that they will find you
and mock you

they mock you, for being a
"snowflake"
they mock you, for
locking yourself alone

the smack you, to get your attention
when all you want to do
is down out
that constant emptiness

They ignore your pleas
your few gasps for help
because they are above you
and you are nothing

"You're not normal!
You do nothing,
you will become nothing
but a mere janitor." They taunt

"Open up to me." One cries,
as they push duct tape
over your mouth…
but you don't struggle

"What are you doing?" Another asks
as you write down
all their wrongdoings
that you'll never tell

because you don't want to hurt them

You become a void
you become empty
you cannot feel
because depression is a funny little thing….
