Yeah, so I guess I better start this shit off right. Here's my piece that I wrote for a series of poems that I self-published called "Tales from the East".
Diary Part 1
The sun didn't greet me today, I hate it when that happens Especially after the moon made faces at me late in the evening And I hate it when I have to walk out in the middle of the night, just to stop myself from crying It feels like every leaf is spying And the wind on my cheek is only lying... Today, the waves looked so fucking inviting Why won't these dark thoughts stop their biting At least when I'm writing... I know I can keep fighting if someone opens their mind and reminds me that I'm not just some number on the annual grade paper and I'm just fine Maybe it takes time.... But time will only make me feel lonelier than I imagined Only makes me think twice about the belt I've already fastened For the ride out of this world... No, I don't think the solution to this is an honest girl Though I am in need of someone who can believe in these words. Mr know-it-all is only going to read out the pages There's no fucking space for a mind with twisted rages Ah blame the young age, like I'm growing out of this There's no pure bliss in the middle of this hopelessness Of schools saying it's the parents' fault and the parents saying it's the schools' fault But who the fuck's listening to these thoughts? I'm fucking lost... And I'm too tired now to find my way out This pen has done enough screaming of my lousy doubts Maybe tomorrow they'll notice the pain But then again, they'll probably think I'm just insane....
Well, here's part 2, if anyone not familiar with this piece wants to read it. Thoughts are always welcome.
Diary Part 2
Looks like the sun is never going to greet me
At least I have the clouds to keep me company
and maybe those raindrops might decide to fall sometime
Onto this dried up mind of mine..
The noise from the outside deafens my conscience
I can't hear my own will, I'm losing perseverance
Where does this all go? I don't know
And I don't know who I really am anymore
Those friendly smiles only look like bad omens to this eye
that's been tried so many times in the this line of competition
All I ask for is recognition..
I didn't have these dreams so I could see them being crushed
by constant repetition of orders and have my life rushed
For me to be a face in the crowd..
So loud are my doubts I'm about to break out
and set fire to these liars who try to wire my fucking mouth
Superficial sympathy is all I receive in times like these
The only thing I learned from school is that people deceive
For their own self-complacence
And I see my life getting caught in their impatience...
Trying to pry open my identitity so I comply
to these lies that promise me this life will be devine
Then why?
Why do they treat me like this, I'm not emotion-less
Perhaps they'll listen to my lips if I use my fists
but my wrists are too weak to fight this. Alone.
This is where I work but I'm no more than a clone.
A fucking clone...
And now the moon is gone.
So long, so long....
