I am scared

I am not scared of the dark.I am scared of the unknown.I am scared of the creatures that lurk in my mind.Mom and dad have always told me they\'re not real, but then why am I so scared?Turning my head in a dark room, the deepest part of my mind twist…

The Tree That Burns (1991)Tree of earth and barren sod,Scarred, charred hard by livid god--Lightning clawed from gnawed, mawed skies;Good wood withstood ire-fired eyes.What prim, trim trees will you sire?Damned root and branch blanch the pyre!In pit…

The mere thought of you makes me feel like death, Reminiscent of when you deprived me of my own breath. I wished you away, On such a day, When the grey clouds slowly moved across the sky, They would slither their way up and high, I gasped for brea…

A fickle of the finger,And fate is oddly turned.What once flourished from love,Is now but an inch of scorn.A minute of failure-Raw end of the deal;She's always brokenBecause she's afraid to give in.A blur of his ego -He always puts it aside,To pick …
