Hiding Behind Mirrors
I want to crawl into the skins of others; To skitter up their walls And hide behind their mirrors. I want to be able to become invisible, To walk by undetected And simply observe.

The Valley of Dying Stars
This is the Valley of Dying Stars, Of broken dreams and cut strings. In here I no longer dangle From the uncertainty of my master’s whims. Instead I fall, fall, fall After finally pulling free. The wait to reach the ground Has got to be the worst, Since on my way down, I see nothing […]
Puppet Master
I need to tell someone, I need to open my mouth And tell you, A stranger, What goes through my mind. I am just as they are; I am no worse and no better than them. We were born the same way And shall die the same. Yet it is the in-between where the problem […]
I Was Born Into An Army
I was born into an army And have always known my place; Ready to die with my comrades, Ready to die for my faith. Our numbers are endless Yet we never seem to be enough. We run together, We run with the wolves. Some say we know not our place, Others look on forlorn. We […]
Child of Darkness
I am a child of darkness, a descendent of fire. Neither can hurt me now.
A Cross I Am Bound To Carry
“All of us are surrounded by ghosts. Now we must learn how to live with them.” -Testament of Youth A Cross I Am Bound To Carry . Their blood is my blood. Their tears are my tears. Their pain is my pain. Their sorrow is my sorrow. All they were and all they could have […]
To Forget Or To Bear
I cannot begin to understand, Even now, Whether it is our duty As the ones left behind, To remember the dead Or forget about them. To remember their smiles, Their laughs, their voices. Or to forget their tears, Their pain, their screams. Because we cannot simply remember one But not the other. They blend together, […]
When I Wasn’t There
It was my job to keep him safe. My job to keep him as he was. And yet he’s gone from this world, And left a completely different person behind. He grew up when I wasn’t looking, When I wasn’t there. I saved him once, He survived by my hand. And yet less than […]
In This World
I don’t want to be left behind, To be the only one left In this world. I want to walk the world With the ones I love, And not once have them look back In order to see me. I am tired of looking at their backs. I really don’t want to be left […]
Betrayed.
Part 4 of BETRAYED. The words threaten to climb out my throat But I know for your sake I better make them not. You made me promise not to tell And so I am going against my judgement to make you feel safe. I know that it did not happen to me And […]
It Was Exactly Like The Play And I Can’t Get That Fact Out Of My Head
Part 3 of BETRAYED. This is not the worst thing to have happened. I KNOW worse has happened. But this happened To someone I know And was done By someone I know. This wasn’t some story online Or part of the rumor mill. It wasn’t one of those personal safety plays my university acted out […]
A Pledge To Silence
Part 2 of BETRAYED. A pledge to silence Keeps me in place Even as I am frozen With a fire burning inside me. It burns so bright I can feel its scorch, And yet a pledge to silence Keeps me from putting it out.
Her.
Shit went down. The next four poems (this one included) are me trying to organize my thoughts. Sorry. Part 1 of BETRAYED. You plunged the knife into her back And I wasn’t there to see it. Yet I felt it stab deep into me, So deep I felt it in my heart. She was in no […]
Please Don’t Tell Me You Love Me
Please don’t tell me you love me If it is not the truth. I rather be disappointed Than suffer when I find the truth. Because no matter how much you wish it won’t, The truth always comes to light. So I beg you not to hurt me Because telling me you love me When we […]
Lies The Mirror Tells
There is no hiding The truth from myself, Because while a mirror can lie, I know deep down That even the most practiced smile Will never reach my eyes.
