I understand now
because the decision that ended your life was a simple one
despite what they tell you,
it's either yes or no
in these situations
its not
"I'll get to it later,"
its now
its black and white
and grey no longer exists
when they handed you the bottle,
it was either yes or no
and everyone knows its detrimental to say no
so you put your lips to the glass,
tip, and attempt to swallow the self-inflicted poison without choking
and when the pipe is passed
you inhale
before you ask what it is
youre trapped in a spinning nightmare
that was definitely not from weed
the only noise that ever escapes your lips is,
"Yes,
yes,
yes."
you'
The stars are the beaming faces of angels looking down on you
They shine when you shine
They are your third and fourth and thousandth mothers
Caressing and loving you to no end
The sun is your father
He teaches you and holds you gently when you are cold
He is protection and I have never seen him dim
They gave you life
And in that life, you excel
You shine in everything, like the shining beings you come from
You are not human
You are not alien
You are something else entirely
Shiny, brand new
And you'll never grow old
The universe is your grandfather
He knows all
He has all the secrets
And if you're good, he will tell them to yo
i hope you have as much trouble
dragging yourself out of bed
as i do
every morning
because i can hardly move
fear paralyzing me
pinning me to my mattress
i hope you know the torture
you inflicted
the pain I'm filled with
you've ripped me apart at the seams
already fragile to begin with
now nonexistent
i forced to see you
day after day
nightmare after nightmare
your eyes track me
and i want to melt into my shoes
i hope you feel the rays of burning fury
i aim at you
as we brush past in the hallway
as you hold her hand
as you kiss his lips
i hope you know that i am angry
angry enough to do something stupid
angry enough to hurt someone

Signs of Pleasure
A nod of your head
A crack in your smile
Has my lips locked with yours
A pretense of compassion
A gleam in your eye
Has me trapped in your sights
And there's no escape from such a cage
A move for my hand
A sigh from your lips
And my hands in your pants
A tug at the belt
A thrust of your hips
And I'm down on my knees
Choking on love
I'm spitting up juice
But you seem so serene
And you are never so pleased
A few pills along the way
And the path to guilt isn't all that long
Drown out the pain
Hands in my hair
Urging me on
How else can we break the rules?
How else can I destroy myself?
The night is young,
There's plenty to of t
I'm going I speak here,
for I have run out of places to speak.
I'm going to write here,
for I have run out of places to write.
I'm going to scream here,
for I have run out of places to scream.
Please, will you hold me up?
My supports have vanished
Stranger, may I believe in you?
My faith has dissolved
Can I pray with you?
My god is dead and gone
I'll find a box on the side of the road
and live there
There is less fear there
than in my home
And at least I would find friends
in the company of rats
Can I live with you?
My rats have all scurried away
And my head seems no longer capable
Of creating the illusion of friends
Instead
Silence
Calm
(Be still,
maybe they won't see you)
Connection
moment of impact
Shattering
Scattering
Before your eyes
I'm broken
(No tears today,
I'm all dried out)
My world-
falling apart
Duct tape
(All gray and boring)
To put me back together
Once again
Wonderland's Dead! by AnonymousPoetGirl, literature
Literature
Wonderland's Dead!
Wonderland is systematic
No one cries; do not panic
Be one time
Stay in line
Sit still
Bend to my will
No one laughs here
Everyone's mad here
Pour a cup of tea, Dear
Listen to me speak, Dear
Turn off the lights, go to bed
Listen, listen, cot off their heads!
Queen of hearts
Read the cards
Your fate is sealed
Life's a deal
I am the Queen, the king is dead
I rule now, I cut off his head!
Wonderland is dead
Blood has been shed
I rule the corpses
I rule the dirt
I rule the zombies turning in their graves
I know what they crave
Still they must obey
Hearts of paper-mache
If I told you
That somewhere in the world
A man was living off of rice and coconuts
In a house that falls over
In every single storm it encounters
Would you believe me?
(how could you not?)
If I told you
That there is a family
With eight kids
That only have one toy to share
And they think its a luxury
Would you care?
(Do you even look at your old toys?)
If I told you
That there are children
That work harder than you
In cruel, mean factories
And get paid pennies
Would you do anything about it?
(What could you even do?)
What if I said
There is a girl
She live in this town
Who gives all her food to her little brother
so
Chairs and People by AnonymousPoetGirl, literature
Literature
Chairs and People
There's a row of chairs
Each one filled
One person is talking loudly on the phone
Two girls are taking pictures together and laughing
One is texting
Another is on Facebook
Someone is taking about sex
Another is listening eagerly
A boy is staring at a girls boobs while his mother talks about school
Someone is laughing
But one is sitting quietly, facing straight ahead as she wishes to be invisible
