(Untitled)

This one was written last week. For all those who know me, I think you'll know what it's about. The world can be a lonely place..

So many I's
So self-centred am I?
If you look through my eyes
Will you yourself find?

My heart pounds in rising pain
To my mind, it resonates
Breath snatched from my lungs
In life my death has just begun

Shackled in clanging heavy chains
No longer drudge, but still I will remain
The looming air, a gaping hole
Shadows my light
Swallows me whole

I am my own prisoner
Creator of my cell myself
My heart and mind
Work together
To build my bars
And bonds to sever

Alone in my cell
With no sounding bells
A lonely place to dwell
A loner, only, lonely in a cell.

Snapped

Hello whoever is reading :) At the request of Sohail I'm going to put up some of new things. As I said before, I don't write that much anymore. "Snapped" was written a while ago but I'm only putting it up now. The inspiration for the style of it came from a show on Crime and Investigation Channel called "Snapped - Women who kill."

Snapped
Men who kill
They slowly run you down
Until you're buried in the ground
The signs appear on day one
But to you, your heart's been won
We shove aside mistakes he makes
Ineffectively glue all he breaks;
One day we lay to rest broken
Unfixable, our souls misshapen
They snap
The men who kill
We break
The women, of will
