We beg for mercy,
to be pardoned
of a sin not of
our own volition;
to escape what
haunts the mind
through dreams
and distorted images.
There is an escape,
but it seems far-fetched,
and it only leads
to further damnation.
Breaking the silence
with a subtle scream;
still the heart is
shattered with memories.

Your Only Doll
You dug your fingers into my
Skin. Forcing your way deep into
An empty shell full of disintegrated ashes
Sewing broken pieces together.
You didn't care if they fit.
Your favorite toy.
Lighting fires to
Keep you warm from
The frozen wasteland you
Hid inside your burning body.
Look at your disfigured masterpiece.
Tell me do you like what you see?
A smile will creep from under your
Splintered lips unveiling fractured teeth
You don't like what you see.
You laugh as you burn my insides
To ashes. Tomorrow we'll play again
Sometimes I wish I wasn't your
Only doll.

Fading Lullaby
Far away the time when
Simple words uttered
in my ears, appeased me.
A time when I knew how to
close my eyes without a worry.
The enchanting symphony
of my mother's soothing voice
reasoning through my mind
warming my very heart and soul
For one moment making me whole.
The calming swinging motion
within your mother's arms
A gentle touch , a reassuring presence
A neverending voyage through
the kingdom of endless dreams.
Lately my life motion is set
on a circulary nightmare
A demoralizing, soul crunching maze
The warmth of tender arms has been
shifted for a cold, suffocating grasp.
The once sweet symphony
has lost of

Who Are You?
"Who are you?" they ask
I am me
I am the little girl you see crying
I am the one who walks alone
I am the orphan who runs from the truth
I am the teen who ignores her peers
I am me
I am the one who says "please help me" and gets ignored
I am the girl no one likes
I am the one who goes against everyone else's "right"
I am the sad girl that can't stop the pain she feels
I am me
I am the one who asks you "Who are you?"

Seasons change us
This moment envisions eternity
I see slowly the shadows belong to me
Feel my emotions, believe me
It's just like a summer breeze
Sorrow changes us
This moment envisions eternity
Losing all senses
What did we become?
Someone grew stronger, while some other passed
This is what remains
Ashes and dreams of better days
