I may be broken
And you may be lost
But at least together
We're not alone.

Selfish
I have no right to cry...
When a disabled 18-year-old boy with the mentality of a six year old doesn't ever shed a tear about the struggles that await him each and every day
I have no right to complain over a delayed meal...
When an ashamed mother desperately searches the streets for food to feed her two young children
I have no right to complain over schoolwork...
When a little girl's family cannot afford to give her basic schooling and the opportunities it provides
I have no right to complain over being bored...
When a father works three jobs and attends night courses to barely pay his mortgage on time

So, I lied.
I am a poet.
At least,
that's what my
skin tells me when
I bleed.
I'm slowly melting into
bed sheets not worth
lying in twice.
Half sick of shadows,
I think I've lost my mind.
My thoughts are s p i n n i n g
and my bones are shaking.
But I keep repeating re-peating
repeating your name like a mantra.
All I want to do is sleep.
But you see,
I bleed more than red
and there is this ink pen
digging through my skin.

Self Righteous Suicide
Self Righteous Suicide:
We're sleeping,
In a cold world,
That has long denied the light.
We isolate,
Each other,
As we walk alone at night.
We plot,
Unholy vengeance,
As we dream of endless death,
We hate,
Our reflections,
As we choke away our breath.
We sleep,
And suffer,
Tormented by our dreams.
Alone,
And frightened,
None shall hear our screams.
So sick,
So vengeful,
A taste that is sickly sweet...
Let me end,
This life,
For hope I shall not meet...
"Why should we alone cry, when angels deserve to die?"
