From the outside, looking in, Life is a beautiful place; But underneath this gilded face Lies a dark and powerful twin. Death reigns beneath it all Lurking in life's shade Watching all things fade, and all things fall. Despair laughs maniacally and waits, Waits for the strength of humans To fail and dissolve into ruins It waits at Hell's gates For those few who see Beyond the ornate disguise Of Life and Light, seeing Dusk's rise We see Demise's debris Will we ever feel anything except the ache? Will we forever remain blind? Or Will we someday find Beauty in the Heartbreak?

Um, a poem about pain? Sorry, this is the best I can do.

My written poetry on Depression, Cutting, Selfharm, and Suicide. I love all of you. These poems are not for healing. If you are triggered by any of these words, I strongly encourage you not to read. Stay strong. ❤️

Alot of the poems in this book will be by me and they will all be narrative so please dont comment that they aren't just because they dont rhyme. Also many of them mkst likely wont be very good but I wanted to share them anyway. There will be poems written by others that are my friends. So warning: there will be very triggering topics in most of these if not all so read at your own discretion.

This is just my escape. I'm sorry if this doesn't please you. I wrote all this down on my own then typed it. I apologize to anyone if I have your writing. I made all these up on my own while alone. If it was already published somewhere, I didn't know and I'm sorry. This is just me expressing how I feel and things I have to go through and have gone through. I hope you dont see me as a sad freak. Have a good life and I apologize again. • Highest ranking : #1 in poetry •

poetry by a person that's afraid of people. 12/23/15- #1 in poetry

A collection of poems written by myself inspired by life situations and complications.

What causes pain? Why do we suffer? Why do tyrants reign? Why aren't we tougher? Helpless to end their malice, Broken by their arts, As they sit up in their palace With blackness in their hearts. Some people in this world are wicked, such are my observations. Others resent the crimes they committed. These are a shattered soul's speculations.
