Leaving Life

 

Your words lie,
Your mind is stupid,
Your mind does what your word say,
Your hands take knives,
Your neck bleeds,
Your eyes grow dim with life,
Your parents are sad and crying,
Why do this?
To get back at someone?
Well, you didn't,
You just left someone,
Know who,
Your love,
Who now has no one.

Death and Life

 

 

Dedicated to Tasha, The person that keeps me here

Look at the people around me,
Looking down on me,
No caring at all,
Who are they,
Who am I,
I don't know,
Life is never fair
Why stay
I wonder if I should cut this life of mine short,
Wont matter much,
No one cares,
My heart is Broken
Just cut that rope that keeps me hanging above the society that has,
Made many people lose their lives,
Life sucks that is never fair,
You lose those you love,
And they lose you,
Fuck life,
Cut the rope,
But you hold me close and keep me from the edge,
You give me the joy and love in my life,
You make it so I can life with flames around me,
You make life fair,
You are my Death and Life

Missing Something

 

You helped me through hard times,
You helped me get to stable ground,
You put pulled me up steep cliffs,
You pulled me away from that very edge,
You couldn't stay because of so much beating,
You never let it out,
You might still be here if you let it out,
I wish now that I would have known,
Because now I will never have that part of my heart,
And I will never be able to hold you in my arms,
Even if it is saving you from that very cliff

Three Feet Of Sight

 

It is cold here,

Like an Artic chill,

My blood has no warmth,

It has been poisoned by love and hate,

All just a trap,

A trap which ends in death,

A trap made by me,

I wonder if what I have is what I want,

Or if I must leave to get what I want,

I have enough, but yet, it seems wrong,

I take things,

All things,

As if they we not important,

All until they are always there for me,

But I can still only see three feet in front of me,

Only the stars and close friends are in the three feet of a circle.

14 Year Old Kid

 

A 14 Year old kid,

Now heart-broken and severely depressed,

Drinking to stop sobbing,

Everything is so routine,

It all changed today,

He fell in that trap,

He walked straight in to it,

False Security,

He has been in this trap before,

His only friends were the stars,

That society and fascist government were not him,

He is looking for himself,

Only to be stopped because he cannot see three feet in front of himself,

He went on to find himself yet in a deeper trap,

Also to find himself to never come back,

All because of a dammed girl and drinking,

Never to ask for change from a country that needs some.

Routine

 

All so depressed,

All so routine,

Nothing is alive,

Nothing is dead,

Everyone has the face of an enemy,

Everyone has a war cry of god,

All the same,

All so routine.

Friends & Blood

 

Stuck in this place,

Trapped and buried,

Bleeding and beaten,

No one knows where I am,

I do not know the route here,

Beautiful friends surround me,

Friends like Britt, Nina, Chrissy, and Jim,

Trying to pull me out of this trap,

All I really want is just true friends to be there,

Telling me memories,

One close girl to see me here and make me enjoy life,

Otherwise, I just keep digging by looking,

As I become older,

My skills and abilities sharpen,

My mind is still out telling anything that comes to it,

All this shall be shot down by the closing of the trap.

For Give me
By Chrissy Meinel 


father can you hear me 
I tremble for your prays
please may I take back all the forgotten days
all the tears that have fallen 
all the blood that was released
from my bloody fingers and feet
father can u hold me
for I yern for your holy touch
for your beautiful words
if its not to much
father will you help me
I fall to my knees
holding you in my heart
hoping for you to see me
father will you stay
with my soul I will give
all of my possessions
to you as my gift
father did you leave me
I can't here your voice
feel your holy presents
the darkness is swallowing the only choice
father I think you hate me
for I have sinned
I have not gone the way you have chosen
I can smell the blood again
father what have I done
I have dug my own grave
forgotten all I know
I am lonely now 
and my heart turned cold
father I'm drowning
in my own sin
everything is turning hard 
and hollow again
father I have lost you
I cant feel your breath 
all I see is blood 
and darkness again
father please forgive me
I have fallen under your hand
I'm lonely and cold 
with no friends
father I'm sorry 
I have killed myself
with no remorse
only if I listened to you
I probably wouldn't of been on this lifeless course


Uncontinued

 

Outside is cold snowing midnight air,

Crisp to me,

Walking along is not cold to me,

The fire inside feeds the heat,

Fire will eventually burst,

Sitting out of life is ordinary for me,

Told to "hold on" and "keep in touch" along with "distant"

Can I help these raging cries,

Not within my power; I can not

Believe me not,

Impossible to thee,

Capture thoughts I might see,

Reverse time cannot be,

In my vision you are the one giving the fire love,

<...uncontinued for the sake of the author...>

Upon Thee Living

 

The people of never to be,

Can see the rising moon,

The brightness,

To come ruin their world,

The blindness from love,

Upon which religion in stills,

The fire of freedom still burns,

Dim on thee,

For it does not show,

Thee will enjoy primal changes,

Before their great brightness came,

The disintegration of life,

Can not eliminate the knowledge,

Stored within her memory,

For vital living information,

This keeps the people living,

Until,

One great fortune,

For the rock where they are living upon,

Will destroy itself,

To rid itself of the inferior race.

Ever A Person?

 

Blankets for covering,
Warm & soft,
The only care I have,
Was it real?
Even if it is,
I can't lay inside your arms,
My ink runs to fast,
The pen is worn,
Silence gets us no where,
Insults are common,
Am I a person or cattle?
The attention you could not give,
I am just locked inside my head,
Not even an animal wants to speak,
Nor does a book,
Food is no longer needed,
No one can see me now,
I tasted what I could never have,
I shouted my intentions with pride,
Until the waterfall hits and there is nothing,
There will be no more,
Was there ever?

Historical Play

 

I am sorry it had to be this way,

Told to be this way,

No longer possible,

My life ceases here,

The last try,

Only my knowledge remains,

Worth all of nothing,

If no one to share it with,

If no one to love,

My hearts,

My palms sweaty,

Head filling with thoughts of what to respond,

The block of anger in place,

My world is set,

I once fell down,

Nothing to say now,

It wouldn't matter,

Won't go away,

Matters worse,

The riffs of Jim's playing,

Memory of love lost in a distant historical play.

Anti-Christ

From the Deep, Dark, Places,
Where The Evil Faces,
Can Only Be Seen By the Flames of Hell,
Fore, We Are the Ones Who God Fears,
And Satan is Our True Image in the Mirror,
Be Warned, Fore YOU May Be Next

Death

 

 

Not always the end,
Not always painful,
To you or others,
Always makes people cry,
Girls mostly,
Guys try to hide the sorrow they see,
They should let it out,
It helps soul and heart,
I do not know why people think death is so bad,
it is not,
It is just another step,
In their cycle,
When we die,
We go to one place,
somewhere,
Where we wait to return to our physical state.

Snow Season In Red

 

 

Snow is falling
Falling to the red pool of blood
The lifeless pool of blood that comes from people who fuck life
The blood is cold blood that has been there for as long as I know
The blood will never turn black because
These people who fucked life lived as far as the could stand it
Either getting looked down upon or getting so fucked in life themselves that they bleed
So the snow will turn red and stay red for as long as people get looked down upon

Materialistic Beings
by: Clair Hahessy

 

 

Mother nature never intended it to be this way,
So fake, so false happy faces and big smiles
the world is surrounded with ornament
we cannot see our true selves

Life and death, tears and sadness
delve into my soul, who am I?
in my head I scream aloud
but who is listening

you did this
and now you'll pay

we are the future, that's what we're told,
what's to look forward to in this materialistic world?

 

Tragedy In World Over

 

 

Once again America is going to suffer
All because of hated that has stricken this world of ours
We sit and hear
Hear about what America is in here
This Dark place
Even though we listen
It seems as though it is unreal
We play morning music again
That lone trumpet we hear
The cut has deepened in further
America knows it has but it goes on
America also knows that it has to strike back
Thought it doesn't have to make more suffering
We play our war song to the world and others join in
The world will stay like this
Playing like little boys, wresting and not giving up
But it is permanent
Goes until
Death
One will remain
And reproduce
And this will start all over

Reflection

         By Chrissy Meinel

As I fell the blade slide across my face
I seem to let lose of my rage by leaving no trace
with no power
no soul
no truth to keep or hold
As the time goes forward the past fades
As my mind gets older I begin to brake
When the end becomes the new beginning
the beginning turns to the end
As the rode goes on
it will never end
photographs are memories of the good and bad
memories are stories that the conclusions never ends
madness is craziness
craziness is as sin
As dire is vile like broken skin
numbers are are frazes
frazes are words
words are stories that people have heard
As I sleep I want to die
then I scream silent
as the pain runs through
what to say  what to do
what was done
I will put it though
as I wake
I scream for air
voices and visions that are their but
as I sit I stair at nothing but myself

Useless Changing

 

I can see people,

They try not to see me,

They are trying to change me,

Always talking about useless information,

All on how to "make myself a better person",

I am fine the way I am now,

I do not need to change;

Just because I am different,

No one needs to change...ever,

Either you are born to be a burden on society;

or not,

Friendship is not forever,

Neither is Love,

But you will always be who you are now.

Nothing More But Pain
By Chrissy Meinel

all my frustration is wrapping my soul
all the tension is swallowing me hole
confusion is taking over sense then
if I only had another day to take in
my head weak and spinning
tension is bound to explode
all the noises bring ferry
only on my last breath of control
my eyes turn blood shot
my mind fielded with pain
hoping for the frustration to stop
with another life conflicted wave
with one last strike I'm melting in my mind
going in circles 
searching for what I must find
an ungiven answer
some kind of truth
some antidote to stop the abuse
traction is beating
my mind is high
my ears seem focused
but their far left behind
my hands seem solid
only with ungiven thought
cold and melting
with only life's living touch
for I will wait for all this pain to stop
frustration and self mutilation 
seemed like the only way
but for know I hope I will live one last day.

 

I Need A Wing...

 

I need a wing;

No one will hand,

I need a heart;

No one will give,

I need to be murdered;

then brought back,

I will damn the ones who haunted me,

All is to cluttered,

I can only concentrate on one,

A new style fails;

A new idea begins;

I need that care;

I need that hand;

That no one will give.

 

Useless Thought Incapable

(Sonnet #1)

 

Is love a pure emotion to be held,

Or a cage locked upon the one never quite felt,

Can you please find it beheld?

Do not need to be half-held to anymore melt,

 

Shall not go through woods just for sex,

Could I ever want another,

A relationship cannot be based on a hex,

I need someone here to discover,

 

Not just full of something to be lost,

The bottle is as empty as I am after the sever,

Tis’ it not fair to be unleashed and tossed,

Say goodbye and be it a long never,

 

     The truth never to be seen,     

     Can I never be mean?

The Process Explorer

 

Why do I need an image,

Of Pride and Beauty,

Why up keep such an image,

Of Sweetness and Love,

Why should seeing me matter,

To one who loves me,

Be a Commoner,

To Conform,

My life never was a bed of roses,

Get knocked down on my ass, 

As soon stability is achieved,

I see what I chose will enlighten me,

Devil's work at that,

Not be able to explore like a 80 year old man can,

Life is only a process of which to please the ones,

Who see you,

But also to cancel out the true love by conformity.

Broken & Shattered

 

Why should I be bothered,

For it is no harm for me,

You are the one who does not look at what I feel,

Nor can you sense it,

You restored my wings of spirit & joy,

But you tore them right off after I have made one mistake,

To say you love me,

And turn to the other side of the moon,

Because I am not there,

I formal letter was written to you,

Explaining how I felt,

But you won't get it until after this is written,

You were the first one who I really loved,

But for you,

This must not have meant anything,

For you to go,

Fear me down,

Miscommunicate,

How am I suppose to feel,

I know they are there to complete the feeling you use to love,

Its not funny for me,

I have to fake when I smile,

I have to laugh with you,

 to keep you talking,

Now you know,

You have been wanting to hear this,

I can not play any more,

To continue would be my nightmare,

New Year came,

Not one response from you at all,

5 times I tried,

Don't tell me you weren't home,

I don't know what I did to you,

Was I unfaithful in some way?

Was I unpleasing in bed?

You are the one backing out this time because,

You are scared I would be the father of your baby,

I hope you continue to do what you are doing,

Showing it will be free will,

Not just me,

Don't say it just brings back memories,

It seems I have heard them all,

From bed to bed,

From life to life,

Do you really think I like hearing of your ex's,

To hell I don't,

I am going to back guys after this,

Tell your mom I still do not believe in God,

But that she was right,

I am not the one for you,

I am a terrible person,

Ugly and to skinny,

Not like I tried to be everything you wanted,

Your mom is a smart woman,

I always knew she was,

But I hope your friend goes to hell if he kills anyone,

If he is a Christian,

I will also tell Josh all about this,

He deserves to know,

Not to mention,

So should anyone else who wants to date you,

That I can reach,

I am sorry it had to turn out this way,

But you set yourself up,

You aren't the only one here who is hurt,

There are many tear marks on this paper,

Its not entirely your fault though,

I am to blame for most,

I couldn't always be there,

I am a loser,

And I am a jerk,

I hope to the God & Goddess that you don't say,

"I love you" to another man to whom you don't really mean it,

I hope you have a better life than I will,

At least you are beautiful,

At least you can get guys you like,

I had liked you for all those years.

I basically idolized you,

You helped me,

But now I just am in a pit full of glass,

You just tore me apart,

Shattered me,

And now,

Will being me one step,

ever more closer,

To what I savor,

As my final destiny.
