FearHe is always watching you
He is always there
He is the one who keeps you bound,
Who keeps you grounded
He is the one who keeps you up at night
He is the chink in your armor
He is the window to your soul
He is your greatest fear.

-The only thing we have to fear, is Fear himself. –Leo Kiker, 2012

SmileSmile and forget your worries
Smile; let them see you're happy
Smile and hide behind this mask
Smile; submit to the façade
Smile and think that you're happy
Smile; think that you're safe
Smile and start dying inside
Smile; become emotionless
Smile and become nothing

They Call me CrazyThey called me crazy.
They called me freak,
Unnatural,
Stupid,
Mental.
They locked me up for being me.
They called me different,
Unstable,
Dangerous,
Loveless.
They made me their lab rat.
They called me pathetic,
Worthless,
Filth,
Nothing.
They made me a shell.
They called me obedient,
Pet,
Lackey,
Submissive.
They threw me away on a whim.
They called me soft,
Trash,
Broken,
Dead.
They laughed when I begged.
They called me freak,
Unnatural,
Stupid,
Insane.
They screamed when I changed.
They didn't call me anything.
They were right from the start.
I am insane.

Never Letting GoHe was always alone.
Always putting on a pained smile,
Always twiddling his thumbs,
Always straying from the group.
He barely spoke,
He barely laughed,
Until she came along.
With her, he smiled,
He laughed,
He lived.
She barely spoke,
She barely laughed,
She barely lived.
Without her, he smiled,
He laughed,
He screamed.
Without her, he began anew,
He built,
He danced.
With her, he was happy,
He smiled,
He laughed,
He cracked.

The MindThe mind perceives what it wants to see
Distorting natural images into something twisted,
Something "sane."
The mind is a permanent failsafe
Guiding us from the dark
And towards the artificial light.
The mind is what makes us
What breaks us
It is
Us.

She was the Light She was the Light

The music that surrounds these lyrics
They don't understand
But I can hear it
I can hear it…

The hidden message
That you can only find
From reading in-between the lines
These broken lines…

That fell apart
When you left her
When you took her heart
When you took her heart…

How could you leave
With the door wide open?
You never believed
She'd have loved you longer

She wrote you letters
In her familiar slant
She kept them all
She could never send them
And she still can't…

And where were you
On the days she cried
She had always known
That you had lied

She never beli

Lost CauseI'm drowning in the sea
of my own regret.
Falling down…down…
deeper than I knew I could sink.

In my brief time above the surface,
I saw no one.
No boats come to save me,
no helicopter rescue.

I have to wonder (you would, too):
Does anyone even care?

Look backLook back at the things you have accomplished
all the wonderful moments that brought you here
Where you had hurt in your life
but you were able to bring yourself back up

Look at the past
and think that it can get better
believe in yourself
and good things will happen

Wake up with a bright smile on your face
rememeber all the people that made you laugh
and forget all the people that made you cry
cause they arent worth your tears

Look back to everything you have accomplished in life
and think about how to make it all better
Remember that you deserve to live
that you deserve to be here

Think back to the past
and wash it off
ca

JengaHere I go again...
I'm setting myself up for heart break.

Please don't let me fall.

SuicideI wish I could do something to stop it
But its out of my control
One person cant change so much
It breaks my heart to know
That so many lives go
Unlived
So much potential
Undiscovered
So many kids
Relatives
Friends
Crushes
Dead
I wish I could do something to help
But what can one
Single person possible
Do to stop it
I can be kind
And loving
To everyone
But how many people
Does that really touch?
Maybe a few are saved
But what about the other thousands
Hundred of thousands
That are gone
And can never come back
What can I possibly do?
It shatters me to know
That I cant
But I want to
I just have to try and try
B

FoolishI'm hurting
I've tried so hard to keep a smile on my face
To not allow the tears to fall
Pretend that everything is okay when it's not
It's not
It's not
ITS NOT
I hate this
There is a pain in my heart
That won't let me live
There's pain in my life
Only you can relieve
I can't make myself happy
Not without you
You are my happiness
You are my light
You are my colour
You are my everything

You left me
You hurt me
After everything we had been through
After what we created
A new life
A little heartbeat
Precious fingers that couldn't wait to hold yours
Eyes that couldn't wait to see you
To see us

I like looking back on ha

Love is love.Just cause I might not be one of them,
Doesn't mean,
I can't support them.
Who should dictate who people can marry?
Who should say you can't love that special one?
No one should.
It's not a choice.
It just is.
From the day you're born.
Accept it.
Embrace it.
It's never going away.
If I wanna love, who I wanna love,
Then why can't they?
There no different
Were all humans
We all have feelings
We feel pain
And hatred
And sadness
And loneliness
And we all feel love
Whether it might be a boy, loving a girl
Whether it might be a girl, loving another girl
Or a boy loving another boy
It doesn't matter.
We're all one.
So e

Someone Like YouI can't stay away from you
We can't fight this
There' something more...just under your skin
The traces of your fingertips across my shoulders
My collarbone
My neck, my mouth
A thumb pushing away the saltwater on my cheeks
Your mouth turned down in frustration, and telling me you don't understand
But you don't say a word
You see the scratches on my arms
And you do speak now, and you ask me why I would do this
You pull the words out of me with no effort
My heartbroken story
How he left me
The first time I tried to end myself
The day I met you
The second time I tried
How you saved me
You manage to glue this br

Where Are You?You disappeared,
I'm all alone,
Waiting for something
That's long gone

No more laughing,
No more smiling,
It appears that this friendship
Is slowly dying

I've held on this long
But my trampled fingers are slipping
And the thought of you catching me,
Is a thought quickly fading

Where did you go?
Are you ever coming back?
The qualities my best friend had
This shell of you lacks

What do you want me to do?
You keep on pushing me away
And if you keep on doing it—
Away is where I'll stay.

WhyHow does this happen?
Why did we go here?

Why are we apart
Why is this romance splintered
Why are we driven apart?

How is it fair that they're love
Not built on partnership but on lust
Has lasted this long
We we're stronger then them you idiot!
We we're so much better!

How did this happen?
How the hell did we get here?

What will it take, love
Just to get us out?

NaPo 2013 #9: Right on TimeThe trains in the high-rises,
Are completely automated,
They hover on tracks polished to perfection,
While immaculate computers drive,
Ferrying around humans now limp and feeble,
Flopping onto platforms designed doublewide.

The trains are never late,
Whooshing over impurities in the track,
Blowing away obstructions as they appear,
Doors opening then closing before boarding can occur,
Leaving feeble humans to slip past the doors,
Landing on the tracks.

Napo 2013 #8: Dirtied MirrorsI want you to imagine
The most heinous creature you can,
Something filled with so much hate
Something so despicable that it couldn’t possibly be true,
Now cast the thought out
Because that will never be you.

NaPo 2013 #7: Broken CarnivalCome one, come all
To the carnival of dreams!
Where you can see anything you want
Touch anything you want!
But don’t forget to visit the main attraction
Here for a limited time only!
Forged in thought of every little soul here
We would be delighted if you would stay for a while.

NaPo 2013 #6: Quiet I want to find myself in a quiet place
At least then I’ll be able to hear myself think

NaPo 2013 #5: Take a ChanceSo what if I told you
Something that made a difference,
Something that broke the norm,
Something that made people angry?
Would you oppress,
Would you repress,
Would you swing with norm,
Or take a chance and stand for a change?

NaPo 2013 #4: Purpose BuiltBuilt from the ground up,
From nothing but scrap and ideas,
I was forged and tested,
Built and rebuilt again and again,
My purpose was questioned,
But progress never ceased on my construction.

Fixed arms were bolted in place,
Weight was trimmed to pass muster,
While parts of me spun and whirred non-stop,
Proving that I never failed,
Proving that I could progress,
Proving that I was purpose built.

All alone

What do you do, when all that you loved, has abandoned you? When everyone who was supposed to always be there for you, are no longer there? When you can hear nothing but your own breathing and see nothing but the darkness stretching on in front of you?
What do you do, when you are truly Alone?

Short emotional piece as a bit of an experiment. Enjoy!

alone... that is something that i submitted to many times

but now when i'm alone i make friends with the spirits of all things (kinda like how everything has it's own soul) and become part of them

if i really became truly alone, then i'd just stick with it and tell myself to suck it up and walk my way out afterwards

~lacesnflowers Feb 3, 2012 Hobbyist Writer

I go find a place where I can forget about these problems for a little bit. A place where I can think clearly and focus on the solution for my problem.

I really like this piece!

=blooperman12 Feb 3, 2012 Student Writer

Thanks!

I like this a LOT, thanks for posting it

=blooperman12 Feb 1, 2012 Student Writer

You're very welcome.

~daddyslittlejanegirl Feb 1, 2012

reach out. This is not a criticism, I just felt like answering the question posed by the poem.

=blooperman12 Feb 1, 2012 Student Writer

Fair enough.

~Kay-March Feb 1, 2012

I lie down waiting to cry, that never happens
I stand up waiting to smile, that never happens
I listen the rain outside,
I embrace it as my own (tears)
My hand touches the valley lilies, the wild ancient roses, the leaves of olive trees where Apollo's sunny smile always stays
I get up pretending its a bit of my own smile,
I go on with my life
for a while it all seems perfect, like me I'm fine
then the night descends upon my eyes... and the cycle, returns

Hi.

The goal of #PennedPaper is to provide exposure to the under-appreciated writers of dA and to provide feedback on all works submitted to us. For this reason we do not accept deviations already found in six or more other group galleries at the time of submission to us. This is not an attack on the artist and has nothing to do with the quality of the deviation. For this reason, your work has been declined. For more information please read this news article [link]

You are welcome to submit other pieces found in less than six other group galleries to us.

Thank you,
