Precious

This little man inside his house
Cries when he's alone.
He screams in agony and dispare
he begs God to show some care.
His frail frame shakes from the core
His wrinkled veiny fists clenched tight
waterfalls from his aging face
into puddles of past disgrace.
No ones coming he knows, no one knows his throbbing
The bottle is there to help him out.
though it consumes him
It hides him from those to tend
Those who want to be there, not pretending
The liquid consumes him, bitters his mind
Bitters his words
This little man is aching, Tormented by weakness
It kills him slowly-cutting off kin.
No one can stay to help, to understand
The enslaving blend consumes until it has the biggest prize of all,
Him.

Rape

Penetrating your unwanted being
Into my corpse
My timid voice is quieted
By your command
I look into your characterless black eyes
And see nothing
I am nothing

Falling

Torn away from comfortable
Spinning uncontrollably to the ground
An icy wind catches me in between
Saturating me with pain
Soaking wet with it
Waiting to dry out
But the pain keeps striking me
I'm on the ground already
Stop weighing me down
I'm already wet
I'll disintegrate with anymore
I long for the comfort of the sky
Of where i came from
Before i started to fall
I am drenched with heartache
though soon I'll dry out
and show no signs of being
wrinkled from the rain.

Youth

There is so much time, yet never enough;

Everything is tumb'ling on top of me;

I don't understand why it's all so tough,
All i want to do is scream and flee.
I am drowning in my own self doubt,
Though I feel something inside pullin' me high
I can almost breathe, i can almost shout;
I can almost think i see the sky.
I feel I am trying to save a part,
There's a struggle, when I'm near the break,
There is something, aggressing my heart,
I can breathe now, and i face the wake,
Youth is harrowing, though i stand bold,
I feel cold as i stand at the threshold.
