Literature Text
The amount of words spoken everyday can become repetitive.
They don’t sink in anymore because we've overused them.
No longer can we start a revolution, or inspire a world.
Instead we wind up sounding cliche.
No longer are we the poets who make people cry.
Or laugh.
Instead we leave a blank feeling, because we've heard it before.
So we are left with this emptiness.
But that can’t be true.
Because it’s too cliche.
- “I want to be stronger.”
They don’t sink in anymore because we've overused them.
- “Why doesn't anyone love me?”
No longer can we start a revolution, or inspire a world.
- “We can do it! Keep on fighting!”
Instead we wind up sounding cliche.
- “I want to die”
No longer are we the poets who make people cry.
- “Life is shit”
Or laugh.
- “Knock knock”
Instead we leave a blank feeling, because we've heard it before.
- “It hurts”
So we are left with this emptiness.
- “I’m afraid”
But that can’t be true.
- “Goodbye”
Because it’s too cliche.

Screaming at the Beast
How many have I had? Why would you ask such a question?
I've had--only three! Yes, three I swear.
What? No--of course not, what are you suggesting.
Those: I can't quite see them clearly. Oh! Oh dear...
No, you, you must understand this was--just a bit of relaxation,
A little sip to help me sleep.
No--No, don't cry, I'm not going back to those days; I'm not!
I swear it was just--just a passing shower I...
I...
I'm sorry...
It's just been hard...
It's been so difficult!
WHERE WAS I SUPPOSED TO TURN?
...
But it's not your fault, I know that.
I suppose I was simply looking for an excuse...
I was drowning you know, in the icy wate

Counting All the Voices
Counting All The Voices:
How many voices choose to speak; a debate within my head.
As I lie awake, counting cracks, on the wall above my bed.
I seem to think of random colours and things you've never seen.
But I don't like to hear the ugly voices, some are rather mean!
Though I suppose we are a loving family and thus I must accept
That when it comes to stashing bodies, we are most adept...
Best of luck detective, you have three days to find her (^_^)/

These Tears Would Come:
These Tears Would Come:
If my tears could tell a story of two -
What would they have to say about you?
Of a boy who spent his whole life seeking
And a girl who found it in the arms of another…
Would they tell us of laughter? Beneath a starlit sky,
Or of harsh words exchanged on bitter nights.
Would they speak of moments, so beautifully captured;
To be enjoyed in memory, like a perfect wine.
Or perhaps they would tell us of an untampered truth:
Of the lonely nights spent longing, for an Eden lost.
Captivated, habituated, to this lonely habit of you;
For her alone, these tears would come.
