Shadows

first poem

The shadows follow him as he walks
The voices of the shadows
Hide in the cracks of his mind
His pain is visible to all who see
But no one knows what he’s done
Who he has hurt
Who he has lost
The screams invade his dreams
The drugs will find his veins
And silence will fall.
But the shadows remain
The voices turn to faces
Watching him spiral
Watching him fall
The streets call his name.
Music fills his head,
The drugs work their magic
The world is full of wonder
The screams are hidden
But he doesn’t see what the shadows can
 
He peels himself off the ground
The light burns his eyes
His head pounds
The stench of vomit fills his nostrils.
He stumbles out of the street
He tries to find his way home
The air his filled with confusion
His pain is back
The drugs have abandoned him
The voices begin to scream again
The faces have disappeared into the shadows
All he is left with is the screaming
He is alone.
He finds his way home
His head hits the pillow
The voices scream as darkness falls
The drugs find his veins
And silence will fall
The streets call his name
The shadows have claimed a new victim.

Aut vincere aut mori, Either to conquer or to die, As the strength we gained, From battling our unseen foes, This is a strength that no others…

Refusing to let go

The arms that comforted me They now strangle Holding me back Keeping me down The smile that brightened my day
Hey did you hear

Drops of red slowly hit the floor Eyes begin to close The names they called her Scream as they race through her head
How it grows

The darkness crept in, Slowly wrapping its black fingers, Attaching its self ever so careful… Making sure it was undetected, This is where it grows,
Loss

The white walls surround her The disinfectant fills the air People are whispering But she can’t see them She is alone.

Who are we?

Who are we? But the victims of the world, Product of our parents, Taking all the twists and turns, Every bump and shaky road,

Darkened mind

Illuminated by darkness once more, Choas crosses the mind, Trapping the conscious, In an endless loop of hate, Self loathing takes over,
mother

Your hands guided me though the da… You helped bring me close to the l… You would always catch me when I… When my life was filled with pain, You stood by me,
The fire it burns

Black smoke begins to creep in, As a thunderous roar screams your… Quick quick quick, Get the Children, Protect the kids,
No more

Sun light has begun to fade, Pain has started to brighten, Grief has begun it’s show, Sadness starts to grow, Hands shaking,
Darkness

Darkness covers her heart, Pain fills her life, She runs to hide, But the pain just follows, Evil finds her, no one is left,

Pork and Beans

This time I’m done, It’s over we’re done, A million times has this been said… A million times but he never walks… A new passwords here,
Wistful dreams

Wistful dreams and playful days Autumns leaves spray the floors Happy memory’s of days gone by Of crips winter air And wooly gloves
The shadows that watch

Faceless shadows cover the walls Watching gleering waiting Watching as we step closer to dark… Judging every movement we make Waiting for the that day
No one knows

As the years have passed, The walls are built, Her heart is locked inside, The emotions are kept in, She learned to hide away,
