This is a poem that I wrote during a particularly dark period of my life. I will be posting a series of the works I wrote during that time period. The state of my world and my emotions is reflected quite clearly in them.
Part 1:
Bloody Ribbons
Slashing away
Gashing away
All the hurt
and fear in the world
Chopping away
Cutting away
The mask thats
hiding the real girl
Smoking away
Drinking away
The sorrows,
the heartache, the pain
Ripping away
Tearing away
the skin thats
covering my soul
Slicing away
Dicing away
Bloody Ribbons
is all I shall become
Part 2:
Hollow
My soul is blackened
unfeeling and charred
My heart is broken
torn and scarred
My eyes are weeping
pouring crimson rain
My face expresionless
masking all my pain
My body is empty
a hollow cavity
There is nothing
where my soul should be
The pit is growing
my heart is lulling
into a deep, eternal sleep
Part 3:
Empty
I hide beneath a mask of joy
you all believe I'm happy
I'm content
I should be an actress
playing a part for all
lying, pretending
I do it anyway
I did it for you
So that you wouldn't hurt
But it's left me feeling
Like I've been torn apart.
My soul was taken from me
from my chest, ripped my heart.
I just feel so alone,
without you by my side.
This emptyness is growing
and I can no longer hide.
I have to reveal my true self
the me thats beneath the mask
ripping away the fabric of my soul
the emptyness is gone at last.
Part 4:
Sweet Death
The road darkens ahead of me
all I see are shadows
Shadows of my past are haunting me
Where ever I go they follow
If only death could take me now
take me away from here
I've got to get away somehow
I'm tired of the fear
Sweet death has marred my soul
brought me down to Hell
My breath is getting shorter now
drowning in this well
Deeper and Deeper I've fallen
Into a shadowy pit
I'm losing grip on reality
TO HELL WITH IT!
I want to go
just take me now
Any way
or anyhow.
Help me escape from darkness
I want to find the light
Im tired and I'm angry now
surving in this night
Death will be my savior
so here I hold the knife
Death will be my release
"Goodbye" I say to life
