Personal Barbie-doll
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
The hissing sound of spraying fills my ears
And the smell of Lil' Princess Hair Spray
Makes me choke and gag as it has for years
But Mommy's painfully tight grip stops me from squirming away
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
Next comes the spray of fake tan, covering my legs and arms
While delicate porcelain squares hide my missing baby teeth
And still Mommy adds more gems, jewels and charms
Until the girl I see in the mirror looks nothing like the real me
Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
A warning from Mommy this time- be quiet and stay in place!
While her hand gently zips up the sparkling dress,
Mindful of a thousand pink s
Mom, Do I have to say
How sorry I am?
I know that this hurt you
Though that wasn't the plan
I was going to be strong
I was going to go on...
Please tell Cam,
The blame is my own
He was the perfect big brother
I only wish
That I had told him so
I had always thought
That I'd make it in the end
Guess I was wrong
All over again
Mom, it's not your fault
So please don't think it is
And one more thing
Tell dad...
That the baby was his

Walking in the Dark
I turned my back on the harsh glare of headlights behind me.
A horn blared in the distance, and I flinched slightly at the grating sound.
Damn cars think they own the whole highway. I sighed and brushed back a stray strand of ruffled black hair away from my face.
It had been a long night and my chest burned from too-deeply inhaling the cold January night air.
In a futile attempt at warmth, I drew my thin black jacket
tighter around myself and crossed my arms over my chest. And for a moment, I almost felt warm.
My breath formed white, smoke-like puffs ahead of me.
As I walked by it, my dark eyes were unconsciously drawn to the graffiti-
A familiar picture, slightly worn
With curling edges and corners torn
In the center, a flowery dress and giant grin
Tightly clutching a favorite stuffed friend
But the flow of space and time
Has turned soft blond curls
To thin red lines
And the grin has now faded slightly
Just too hard
To be so completely happy
And though a casual observer would have missed it
Baby blues have darkened and become distant
Black rings shad the eyes
And take place of goofy smiles
Just polite contentment
To replace a child's innocence

K is for Killing, the greatest thrill of
Damned to wallow in eternal darkness
Abandoned and forgotten by a mother so heartless
I hid myself away to escape a world so cruel and shallow
My face hidden from even a candle's soft glow
And then, I met an angel, for what else could she be?
An angel with bright eyes and a heart full of purity
Her voice awoke the light inside
Brought to life a part of me that I thought had died
In the shadows I watched her every move
I taught her to sing and watched her improve
The fools of my opera could only watch in awe
Her voice even more beautiful than that of our famous Carlotta
She sang beautifully to a full house that night
On stage she
Ring around the rosies
Pockets full of posies
Ashes, ashes
We all fall Down!
The battle is starting, and you stand in place
Careful not to let fear show on your face
And while the winners shall take the crown
In the end we all fall down
Ring around the rosies...
Nothing lasts through all of time
There's no unsolved riddle or unsaid rhyme
And though we've remained faithful through it all
In the end, we all must fall
Pockets full of posies...
We wear masks to cover the shame
And desperately search for others to take the blame
And though you dress just like a doll
One day too you shall fall
Ashes, ashes...
Your angry words jus
When will the world realize that things aren't always the way they seem?
Don't they notice that outside I smile while inside I scream?
Why must the world be so blind?
Or do they just not look, too afraid of what they'll find?
Can they not see these bruises in the shape of his hands?
Or how unnaturally submissive I am to his demands?
Are they so deaf that they don't hear the shouting?
Can't they see that my self-confidence has been mutilated into self-doubting?
How can my friends not see the blood on my lips?
How can my family not notice the dark possessiveness of his kiss?
Will no one detect the meaning of way he holds me? How it im
We've all said things that we didn't mean
Never realizing that words can make others crumble to their knees
So easily we disregard the tears that mar another's face
And they are too easily overwhelmed by the pain beneath the surface
Words hold more power than you know
And we all reap what we sow
Late at night I still hear her mother's sobbing screams
I still see that tear stained face in my dreams
I never meant to be so cruel
I wanted to fit in; I was such a fool
I still remember hearing about her death
How the news took away my breath
It felt as the world had dropped out from under me
And the ones I worked so hard to impress jus

Hush Little Baby..
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Ignore the all the cruel things that you've heard
Children can be so cold
When you aren't a part of their sacred fold
Hush little one, please don't cry
I know it hurts you when your parents lie
When they say "I love you so"
But the phone rings and it's time to go
Once again you're all alone
They don't care, you've always known
But please don't scream, my precious one
Take the knife and don't give them a chance to run
Make them hurt instead of you
They will be the ones who scream when you're through
Tie them down so they can never leave
Make them pay for leaving you alone on Christmas Eve
