Poem Scarecrow

Scarecrow (Janius)

Suspended in life unchanging
Broken and lifeless eyes stare at nothing
Empty thoughts and a cold heart
Sings to show you that I don’t care

Reasons and actions with no explanation
Pressure of the world and war crush me to death
My mind breaks in two I have changed
I look the same but feel like a stranger

Two people smashed in one body
One life two choices to make will I survive
Too much conflict in my mind
A wrong choice made several lives destroyed

Peace and happiness have betrayed and left me
No second chance the is the last time this time
Broken hearts and shattered families strewn about
Disappointment and guilt I don’t feel I am broken

What once was good now is broken and evil
Nothing matters now only my will and desire
Divorce and rejection circle my choice
I act like nothing happened and live on

Poem Millionaire

Millionaire

This mansion is cold and empty
This man has all the money he needs
His possessions outnumber everyone’s
But he is not happy

This man is rich but not wealthy
In all that he has something’s missing
He runs a successful business
And comes home to no one

The flaw in all his riches
Is the absence of love
Its gentle touch warms a home
It makes a rich man wealthy

But he passed up his moment
Gave up love for more money
This greedy man now alone
Sitting in a loveless home

All the possessions in the world
Cant outweigh the power
That love has to change a life
A lonely rich man in a cold house cries

Song A Voice in The Distance

A Voice In The Distance

When I was born I didn't know where I came from or where i was going
all i knew was that i loved my mommy and she knew what was right
when i was eight i started on my journey towards the voice
there were many paths but only one was right

far over the mainland and across the sea
there was a voice come follow me
i didn't know what it was or what it meant
but it was kind and still

i got stuck now back on the right path i go onward to the gentle voice i go
so close now i can see a man dressed in white that blinds the eyes
i did everything you told me to and tried my best

far over the mainland and across the sea
there was a voice come follow me
i didn't know what it was or what it meant
but it was kind and still

i almost made it and that’s what counts
the man i saw came and pulled me to shore
he smiled and said worry no more
you are forgiven and you made it to your goal

Far over the mainland and across the sea
the lord said come follow me
i now what it was and what it meant
and it was kind and still

kind and still

kind and still

kind ...and still

Enlightened Ones

Enlightened Ones

You see the world through clouds of grey
You see the world in its pain and fear death
You do not know the glory and the way to go
I see the world for what it is and smile

The veil removed now I understand
I see the greater plan we all are a part of
Now that I know I must share so you know
I warm your soul with the love given to me

Love so warm it feels like a summer day
Feelings so high I feel like floating
The mercy and love he has for us all
Is immeasurable and we don’t understand

His sacrifice saved us all
If we choose to follow him
This world is but a test to see
If we can make it back to him

I see the way clearer than ever before
I know what I need to do and I an happy
Tears of joy uncontrollably fall from my smiling face
I love the lord and all he has done for me

Poem United

United

We are different but we are the same
We are here to help and live together
Instead we fight wars over petty objects
We are separated by color race and religion
Instead of united as one and strong
We stand against each other and destroy
We need to heal this broken life
Like the ants united they are strong
We fail because we are scattered
We don’t see past the surface
To see we are brothers not enemies
We should stand together and not fight
But we tear each other down and are full of greed
Race against race color against color
Religion against religion we fight
We are not united and at this rate never will be
We would be great and strong and kind
If we would put aside this immature fighting child
That bickers about difference and money
When the thing that matters most
Is that we learn to be together and stand as one
We need to learn much to be united
Or we are all doomed due to our separation

Song The Storm

The Storm

Imaginary Dreams Chased And Lost
Nonexistent Goals Made And Failed
Failure Brings New Light And A Way
That We Had Never Thought Of Before

In The Depths Of Darkness I Found You
A Ray Of Golden Sun In The Storm
A Path Unseen Until Now And Found
A New Hope Of Life And Being

Wondering In Darkness Its Hard To See
How None Of These Things Are Helping Me
Blinded By Your Thoughts And Your Opinion
You Are Lost And Everyone Is Wrong

In The Depths Of Darkness I Find You
A Light Amidst The Storm Revealing
The Truth And Light Of The Real Situation
A New Way To Go And Find Success

Our Experiences Teach Us And Make Us Grow
So We Learn Instead Of Going Nowhere
The Storms Will Continue To Come
Will You Look For The Light And Path

In The Depths Of Darkness I Find You
The Storm May Rage But It Will Shine
This Light That Brings Hope And Truth
Where It Takes Me Is A Better Place

So You See Its Not Just A Drowning Attempt
There Is Hope If You Search For It And Concentrate
This New Hope Will Give You Strength
And Lead You Through The Storm In To Paradise

In The Depths Of Darkness You Are Found
A Light To Guide And Lead The Way Through
That Disproves The Lies And Deceit Of This World
So You Can Make It To A Higher Plane Of Happiness

Poem The Illusion of war

The Illusion of War

Bodies strewn across a field
A “Victory” has come to pass
We “Kill” to achieve “Peace”
We destroy to preserve
Tears are shed for all that are lost
Others celebrate for fallen enemies
People think that to have peace
We must control the world
Dreams of peace and freedom
Clouded by war and death
We kill thousands to save hundreds
We start war to take revenge
War is a brush fire
After being started
It consumes everything
Even the innocent
To keep peace we fight
To save lives we kill
To protect our city we destroy another
The illusion that war is good is false
Tragedy strikes sometimes
And war is not chosen but forced
When this is the case
It takes the bravest man to end it

Poem The Chosen

The Chosen

We pass through life learning
We experience the horror and pain
We live outside the box of safety
We have just enough strength to live

We are the ones put here to help
We protect others from our same pain
Our goal is unknown but pain is real
We are chosen through all this to heal

Are meaning is specific and precise
We are placed throughout time to nurture
We are not hero’s and are not known well
The people we touch are saved from their hell

We have the life unwanted and we chose it
We came to help the tortured and abused
So must our life be to help effectively
But we have an unknown strength

We are no one and known by few
Our lives scream the pain felt by thousands
We are here to silence that utter scream
So the world may someday be peaceful

We are stricken and bruised and scared
We are filled with the experiences we need
We heal those around by giving hope and love
Even though are lives are hard we love life

We come to aid the sickness of this world
We do not know each other we work alone
There is no team only one to save many
But we are many and few and unknown

Bitter silence until we understand the meaning
We forgot why we came into this hell
And when we find the meaning and reason
The world will start to change unknowingly

When no one is there to help you though this life
We are placed to find and befriend you specifically
Our efforts are not in vain and have great purpose
We are the light you find in the dark to lead you out


Are scars are our examples to teach hope
Are lives bring hope to those we know and help
We are the chosen and unknown to the world
Put here in hell to save the souls of millions

The maker wept to see us leave his side
To venture into this life of despair and pain
He is glad we are here to help and heal the weary
He wishes that we didn’t have to go through this

WE ARE THE CHOSEN

Poem The Butterfly

The Butterfly

Born into this life, twisted
Scorned by others, an outcast
Down in the muck and grime of life
Crawling through hell at a slugs pace

Lives altered and changed forever
Everyday makes the future change
Every life touched impacts you
Your cocoon of experiences

You’re finding strength
Rising up beyond the filth
Changing out of sight
Becoming something great

You emerge from your cocoon
You have wings to lift your soul
You through everything are beautiful
You are a butterfly, and graceful

Poem The Book

The Book

On a dark and stormy day
Buried halfway in mud
A small tattered book is found
The writing in it is a child’s

A closer examination and you see
The pages in this book have tearstains
You find a name for the owner
Her name is jenny she is 9

The diary tells of good and bad days
It tells of how her daddy touches her
It reads that she doesn’t like it
She is too afraid to tell anyone this secret

This burden destroying her life not lived yet
It also tell of how she has to hide her bruises
The painful times when it hurts to stand
And the fear she has of going home

Then it tells of her mom
It tells about how she ignores her
It lets you know she never listens
And now your tears are adding to the stains

But then you reach the end of the writing
The last page is spotted with blood and tears
The last phrase is scribbled in fear
“My daddy is mad at me for telling him No again”

This book was found out in the rain
Next to the trash outside a deserted house
The story never finished left open
The fate of jenny unknown

Poem Scars

Scars

As a child I gained my wounds
They bleed and I felt the pain
They didn’t heal I wouldn’t let them
I picked my wounds and felt the pain longer

Blurry thoughts fill my mind
Bound to this place I can’t move on
Picking my wounds in agony
Ignoring the voice to stop and live

I let my wounds bleed and fester
I wont let them heal and move on
I will not move on or let go of this pain
I wont ever let go and you cant stop me

Poison seeps in through these wounds
Future passes me by as I stand still
Crying for help as I hold myself back
Hurting myself by picking old wounds

I step forward and let them heal
The pain dulls and I can live
I step again with more faith
My wounds heal and turn into scars

The memory remains but the pain is gone
I’m moving forward instead of standing still
I catch up with my future and understand
I was the only one who could help myself

These scars stay a part of me and remind me
This life is full of pain and we must keep going
I stood still as I held onto my wounds and pain
I moved forward as I let them heal and turn to scars

Poem Gueen of Spades (Explit)

Queen of Spades

Illusionary love and romance
Catastrophic creeping destruction
Timed bomb to destroy me when im weak
This one card is played wearing me down

Each time hurts and scars a little deeper
Happiness infatuates my mind and all is well
Old mistakes haunting my every fucking footstep
Same result lesson never learned

This chain of destruction holds me captive
Forbidden love dipped in happiness and joy
Poison seeps into the pours of my relationship
Torn apart like an angry kid tears paper

My goal to live a happy life with a family
Dances in front of me just out of reach taunting me
Nightmares closer to truth than my dreams
Lonely despair seems to be my final destination

My equation always end with a one never more
The ride is too painful but I cant get off
The future mirrors the past to torture me
My circle of hell I fell into no escape

Hope for difference proven wrong
An outcast and criminal no one loves
Innocent of my crimes treated guilty
Pushed away by family through lies

Torn between family and friends
One place undesired forever
My hell to feed my fears and nightmares
Poisoned slowly to death chasseing my dreams

TKT 08/08/06

Poem Poison

Poison

Clouded vision, illusions in my mind
Smiling as I’m dying, watching as you cry and blur away
Lies to make you happy, truth to make me bleed
Seeping through my veins, as this poison steals my soul

Gulping down this poison, illusions of the truth
Blank eyes staring onward, as I’m looking to the past
Unforgiving self-destruction, bitter poison filling me
Running backwards, avoiding the painful future

Crimes so severe, full of fear from my choices
Lacking strength to stand alone, crumbing footing falling down
The world is caving in on me, no faith to survive
Drinking this dark liquid, as you’re screaming for me to stop

Telling me it will get better; all I see is the black
No hope to move forward, no strength to runaway
Only strength to drink this poison, lies, it will be ok
No one can stop me, now I’ve gone too far

No more poison left to drink, now I’m leaving you alone
Holding on to me, as I’m slipping through this life
No goodbyes, breathless whispers and tears
Escaping my fears, punishment follows behind

Poem Perfect Accident

Perfect Accident

The day we met you were funny
You made me smile and laugh
We hung out and spent time together
We were friends and all was well

Then times changed and we moved apart
Out of touch and kinda forgot
Lives move on and we grow up
We meet again and worlds collide

We hang out we’re friends again
Stay up all night having fun
Things change we move apart
Loose touch and move on

One day I saw you near
That day you saw me too
I walked accost the room
We talked laughed and hung out

We were hanging out and having fun
Then I kiss you and out of the blue
You hold me close and I hold you
This accident led me to you

We spend our lives together now
We dream and long for each other
We love and it wasn’t planned
This perfect accident has made me whole

Poem Pearl

Pearl

You don’t see me, out of sight
Judging by the cover, true value never known
You don’t get to know me, lost your opportunity
Laughing passing by, misunderstanding the truth

Whispers in the air, rumors in your ears
Lacking truth to understand lies to make you better
Ignoring the whole picture, missing the important parts
Blaming others for your faults, I accept you anyways

Gentle love and understanding, bringing peace to this storm
Reaching through the lies, to find and take you in
You see me through new light, now you understand the truth
Catching glimpse of the whole picture, finding important things

Pealing away the cover, oyster shell broken to your eyes
You see the real value, a glistening pearl, as you know me
Someone to help you walk, to share your burdens with
You found a pearl in the ocean, a friend for a lifetime

Poem Mirror

Mirror

Mirror on the wall who is the saddest of them all?
Is It the boy that dies from aids but never did anything?
Or is it the girl abused as a child and raped by her dad?
Is this pain in this world meant to be so harsh and bad?
They all are and aren’t it’s the point of view you look at it through.
Mirror on the wall why is anger the hardest emotion to control?
Why does it rip into others and tear them down into nothing.
It breaks apart families and beats children and rapes girls.
Mirror on the wall if life is hell why do we move on?
We look for that light that leads us home to that place were free.
This place doesn’t have the pain of this world but peace.
Mirror on the wall why cant we all go home now?
We aren’t ready to go there yet cuz we don’t understand.
We haven’t found out why we came here and what for yet.
Mirror on the wall why are we here to live in pain?
It not pain it’s the experience that you gain.
This is your journey through life everyday make it a great one.
Mirror on the wall how do we learn all these thing so we can go home?
That’s what you need to learn and figure out to go home.
Your life is now not tomorrow or later but now don’t waste it.
Mirror on the wall thank you for your help

Poem Mirage

Mirage

Imaginary and realistic
Focused and aligned
Blended together what is real
Running away through an imaginary escape

Perilous places seem friendly
And friends become enemies
Enemies become friends
Worlds and lives change

An illusion so deep you cant touch the bottom
Or find the surface to breathe
Twisted reality to suit someone’s needs
While your lost in a mirage to catch you

Running to friends who are really enemies
A wolf in sheep’s clothing to use and destroy you
Nightmares seem like pleasant dreams
Everything ordinary is an illusion and fake

Stories and lies become the truth
When the truth is the key to freedom
Walking in circles with the lights off
No compass or map to guide you out of this mirage

Poem Metamorphosis

Metamorphosis

Beautiful radiant shades of white
Encircle the grey forgotten cocoon
A heart beat quickens and
The scars you have carried this far disappear

Your life and pain become a memory
Evil cant touch you anymore
You change from imperfect to perfect
The circle of life completes itself tail to mouth

You experiences are the tools that shaped you
You are unique and no one is like you
Sorrow cant exist around you your joy so bright
You learned your lessons and told your story

Never-ending happiness surrounds your presence
You came through the muck and darkness
Now you are complete and pure
Spectacular shades of white emit from you

You have changed from worm to butterfly
You are free to fly and roam
Your journey is complete you have peace
Free soaring and happy forever

Poem Journey into the Void

Journey Into The Void

Blurring through the walls of time
Breaking the chains of sane and logic
Stepping outside my body and through the floor
Between life and death real and fake

Unused open space and free
Unknown to the world you love
Tearing through reality as I step
Disappearing as I step into the wall

Free floating mindless freedom
Outside the cage of restriction
Numb as I’m torn in two half’s
To make it through a smaller path

In a world unknown
I’m exploring this new existence
What am I doing and where am I?
Humored by my own erratic movements

Moving back through the walls of time
Stepping inside my absent body
Reconnecting to the logic and sanity of life
Back in the world back from my journey

So precious so fragile so innocent
Your first breath you first heartbeat
I hold you in my arms and wonder
Why I was blessed to have you here

You light up my world my eyes sparkle
I’m filled with joy and happiness
Reborn are my emotions of love
My connection grows with loved ones

I love you son and that’s all I need
My joy is for you to have the best life
Me and my wife’s love is rekindled
We are a family now our love is strong

We grow together in love and joy
It’s crazy how fast you grow up
You one now and I’m still blessed
You bring us joy with every smile

We’ll always love you

Invisible

Right Where You Cant See

Standing in front of you you cant see me
a spec of nothing in this bitter existance
tossed aside and forgotten you leave me
and when im gone no one misses me

i never was here only a glimpse
i knew you and forgot you in the same second
there is no path to follow to find me
i never started a path to follow

invisible to the naked eye
how do you find someone you dont see
blinded by rumors and lies and lost
lost in a world no one can find me in

this place doesnt exist and neither do i
how did i get here ill never know why
i was talking to you and stumbled away
now im screaming for you with no where to stay

these feelings blinded my mind
and now im traped where you cant see me
locked inside myself and lost the key
youll never find me and i dont care

im standing in front of you but you cant see
im held captive in a place you cant go
nothing opens this door but the key
where is the key someone help me

Hostage

Your games and lies
You hold me here
Involuntary silence
Threats give you strength

I’m bound by your lies
I’m caged with your fucking game
I’m sick of you and your lies
If I get free I’m never coming back

Broken and lost
Tormented by mind tricks
You abuse my soul
And blame me for your troubles

I’m bound by your lies
I’m caged with your fucking game
I’m sick of you and your lies
If I get free I’m never coming back

Helpless to fight
You wear me down to nothing
I cry for help you silence me brutally
I dream of freedom you fill my dreams with nightmares

I’m bound by your lies
I’m caged with your fucking game
I’m sick of you and your lies
If I get free I’m never coming back

Abused in your game
I never win cuz you change the rules
Enslaved by your insane thoughts
Blamed for everything wrong in your life

I’m bound by your lies
I’m caged with your fucking game
I’m sick of you and your lies
If I get free I’m never coming back

Hate

This Bitter Shrug The Cold Stare
A Heart That Has Shriveled
A Feeling Of Despair
A Punch You Don’t See
This Feeling Kills People
This Deadly Thought
In Everyone Hides
This RAW Emotion
Jagged Glares And Stares
Rip Me Apart
Rooms Of Hate Suffocate Me
Blinded By Emotion
You Do Without Thinking
An Action Carried Out
With No Thinking
A Disease Spreads
Like A Plague Of Humanity
Run Out And Down

Only Yourself But Inflicted On Others
You Never See What You Do
You Stab In The Dark
Kill Who You Know

You Lie And Cheat
And Hate More
It Overcomes You
And You Lose Control
You Die From Your Hate
But You Kill Others

Fractured

Arguments fights and tantrums
Cloud the air with horrid noises
A family splits down the seems
Friends and foes are made

The bitter taste of guilt
Poisons everyone to the very core
Everyone feels at fault and trapped
Pulled between parents like a tug of war

You’re the thread between your parents
You become a messenger of slander
As your parents toss insults
Back and forth through your innocent voice

Confused who to trust which should you chose
This break in a family is a fracture
That doesn’t heal or mend
And slowly breaks you down

Poem Feeling an Un-named Emotion

Feeling An Unnamed Emotion

Fear and depression blended into one
Catastrophic loneliness chokes me silently
Happiness and anger fight for control
What do I feel it doesn’t exist

Lost in a whirling bitter tornado of emotions
Blown apart and reformed into my emotion
It’s the only thing I feel and I don’t want it
Smothered by absent people in my life

Darker than fear or depression
Worse than loneliness and abandonment
Stuck in between the worst emotions trying to get free
Held hostage by this undiscovered emotion no one feels but me

My bleak outlook on everything is just a side effect of it
My absence of humanity is its damage to me
Fading in and out of real emotions
Why am I living life like this what am I doing anyway

I don’t make a difference im just a pawn
I have no soul it abandoned me for freedom
Form this emotion keeping me captive and killing me
No hope trust or faith in anyone or anything

You feel pity when you see this but you still don’t understand
Your darkest moments you’ve tasted it but im being fed it unwillingly
This emotion is worse than the darkest moments in life
Yet I live on feeling it and screaming for it to stop

So close to happiness I seem happy and cheerful
Inches away form depression im engulfed in sorrow
Standing in the dark background feeling a blended emotion
Of everything but this emotion has no name

Depression

Eyes Glazed Over Soaked In Tears
Sad Thoughts Fill The Air, I Breathe Them In
The Light Of Happiness Shuts Off
My Personal Forecast Dark Stormy Rain Clouds

This Feeling Feeds On Me And Breaks Me Down
Playing Back Memories In Nightmare Form
Clouding The Sun Out With Raindrops Of Sorrow
All I Can Focus On Is My Pain And Sorrow

Worthless Feelings And Wasted Life

Utter Despair Surrounds Me, I Suffocate
Trapped In A Box Of Deadly Emotion

This Feeling Feeds On Me And Breaks Me Down
Playing Back Memories In Nightmare Form
Clouding The Sun Out With Raindrops Of Sorrow

Why Is It Always Raining Sadness On Me
Fake Happiness Is A Struggle To Muster

All I Can Focus On Is My Pain And Sorrow

Sorrow So Thick It Fills The Room
Stifles My Cry And Feeds Me More Pain

Can’t Find The Door To Free Myself

Poem Choice

Choice

In a world of clay
Who are you and what will you be
Things change as the day goes by
Choices mold your life as you make them

In this world you are in control
You make yourself who you are
A world always in motion and changing
Molding yourself to cope with the change

In this world your choice is the predicament
You have the power to affect others
You show what you will become with a single choice
Thoughts bombard you as you cut through them

One outcome from all your choices
Who will you unknowingly choose to become
What will you do to contribute to this world?
A world that doesn’t want or need you

Your choice is worth its weight in gold
Will you throw it away for something less?
Or will you choose to make wiser choices
In this world bursting with choices

What will you choose to become

Poem 911

9.1.1.

Horror stricken faces watch in a glow
An entire nation cries at a sight
Children wake to find a nightmare
Parents shake in fear at the sight

Early in the morning as the day starts
An attack on an innocent set of buildings
Cries heard from miles away as they fall
A city engulfed in the smoke ash and derby

Thousands team together to find the lost
Living and dead are found the world is dry
Tears are the moisture for this country
We watched a nightmare as the towers fell

We didn’t understand where this hate came from
Paranoid about the future is this the end
The world looks grim to all who life on it
Weeks of searching for our lost brothers and sisters

Derby cleared away to find lost ones
Our flag hangs half post in agony for them
A nation united for a cause to help as we find the lost
The last body found and the heavens wept

A Darkened Room A Pissed Off Boy
Depressed And Alone He Goes Through Life
He Has No Friends To Turn To And Ask For Help
There Is A Gloomy Demeanor In His Sad Stride

A Noise Fills The Room That Pierces The Ears
A Flash That Ignites The Room With Light
A Split Second Of Regret And its Gone
A Splatter A Crumple And Darkness Conquers
The Room Engulfed In Silence Not A Sound

His Tears Run Down His Cheeks As He Wishes
That His Pain Would End And Leave Him Be
It Fills His Body Like A Poison That Confuses
And He Can Think Or Function Anymore
A Second Thought Flushed Out Of Mind

Family And Foes Are The Same And One
Too Much Agony For One Child To Bear
Forgotten And Lost Slipped Through The Cracks
Barely Able To Speak To Them From Fear

A Flash That Ignites The Room With Light
A Split Second Of Regret And its Gone
A Splatter A Crumple And Darkness Conquers
The Room Engulfed In Silence Not A Sound

Holes Punched Through Walls In Anger And Rage
A Frightened Child Makes A Final Choice
No One To Run To For Escape From A Fear
And Now We All Cry A Single Tear

A Split Second Of Regret And its Gone
A Splatter A Crumple And Darkness Conquers
The Room Engulfed In Silence Not A Sound

Anger And Rage Were Free To Roam Here
They Weren’t Confined and put In Their Place
Fear Fills The Air Like A Smell And Stench
This Boy Was Scared And Bruised ABUSE is No Joke
A Poor Decision To Escape The Overwhelming Fear

A Noise Fills The Room That Pierces The Ears
A Flash That Ignites The Room With Light
A Split Second Of Regret And its Gone
A Splatter A Crumple And Darkness Conquers
The Room Engulfed In Silence Not A Sound
