Literature Text

They don't understand how it feels to be encased in a dark coffin of panic.
They're supposed to be my best friends,but how can we be close if they don't know how awful it is when your gut,then your entire body clenches inside,and you need to clench on the outside,too.

So you grab onto your arms,gouge half-moon shapes all over them with your fingernails.

I'm surrounded by friends but I'm alone because none of them have ever been where I am.
None of them could ever comprehend.

Pipe Dreams

She hates to read but loves to write She's peaceful but she tends to fight Scared of the dark,she adores the night Scribbling poetry by a dim flashlight Buried under blankets and sorrow And would it be wrong,if she held back tomorrow? With memories held to her chest, clung to like a worn out teddy-bear And when she closes her eyes, Tightly She can't see The pain surrounding her Agoraphobic,she longs to travel Too scared to do more than dream She'll run away someday,she swears When pigs can fly and dead men scream That's when she'll free herself,yes

solitude

i am trying to pull myself away from this feeling that consumes me inside your absence is in every object that surrounds me, entangling loneliness in the air its all i can feel. the time rolls onwards, and onwards, dragging me along as i wait, as i wonder. (i just want you to come back.)

Thrown Away

Thrown Away Here I sit Center stage of my life I struggle to breathe Nothingness surrounds me I reconcile to persevere To what end I do not know For now I am alone I am comforted by the flow of my own tears Here they are again Oh…this is not self-pity This is the realization of abandonment The finality of being cast aside Thrown away like a candy wrapper No longer needed once consumed I'd rather be the candy Then I would be "wanted" in the moment Alas…I am merely me Invisible Non-essential In their eyes I refuse to give in I will find someone that will affirm me Will desire my company Fill up space in my voi

Stubs of a Cigarette

opaque tendrils whispering— vaporous poison clogging airways choked by outlawed sentiments slogging through azure veins fleeing a traitorous organ; thrumming [ming] [ming] to a hidden metronome— winding haze stimulating snippets of simpering emotions conspiring the ultimate coup d’état; the metronome staggers …an illuminated stub weaving maleficent murmurings and swirling stuttering sidebars; the metronome forfeits, refusing to save a cluttered organ cigarette stubs..ignited at single ends; convalescer of stress, debt caller of life.

Ich bin

Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer schon hier war. Ich bin, der wacht, ich bin, der spricht. Ich bin der Hauch vom letzten Jahr. Ich bin die Nacht und bin die Früh. Ich bin der Mond (die Sonne nie). Ich bin das Wort, ich bin das Buch, ich bin, der all die Worte sucht, bin der Fürimmer, bin der Moment und der die Zeit manchmal verpennt. Aber ich bin. Ich bin der, alles, der nirgendwo zu Tod betrübt und liebesfroh. Ich bin, der kommt, ich bin, der geht, ich bin, der immer bei dir war: Ich bin der Wind in deinem Haar.

Strangers

Have you ever wondered What strangers think of you Most of us make judgments Those who don’t are few So many different faces With a million unknown names Each one with a tale to tell Of success, of misfortune, or of shame What separates a stranger From one you truly know You never see the real them Only what they choose to show We could spend our whole life searching For who we want to be I don’t even know who I am How can you say you know me We are strangers to ourselves

Holocaust

Round up the Jews To burn in their masses, Poison them all With the noxious gases. Herd in the flock Like lambs to the slaughter, Spare non their lives Not mother, not daughter. Roll on the production line, Make no waste. Cut hair, take glasses, Process them with haste, Weave cloth from their braids, Melt down all the metal. For an inferior race, We will not settle. ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ Works makes you free. Now they're lining the chambers With Zyklon B. No use anymore, Too old, too weak. But of their deaths We do not speak. For millions were murdered For one simple reason- To Hitler it felt They were comm

Remember -the Holocaust-

There’s blood stained on these empty streets Ghostly footsteps breathe on me This was a place once full of life But now it has drowned in misery The shattered glass of Kristallnacht Like stars in the sky Sparkle in the black streets around me Like tears of a silenced cry I walk along tainted railroad tracks Wondering what horror has swallowed it It leads me to the train of death A train of memories coldheartedly slashed and split The souls’ cries become tears that flow down my cheeks Too many lives have perished here I run from what I cannot understand Pierced by six million haunted fears Six million of my people cas
