Ten Word Story

They say they will stay after they choose to leave

- 10/12/2016

Progression

At first I fell apart

Pieces of me scattered in the dark

The depths of my soul ached

Every piece of me you scraped

Out of my chest

Who would have guessed?

Then I was enraged

The pieces were locked in a cage

My soul was hidden

The true feelings forbidden

Locked away

Left to decay

Today I am well

There are no pieces in a cell

I know my soul now

Through the sweat of my brow

It will no longer scatter

For I know that I matter

[annawritesstuff]

It Will Never Change

You know your name

You see your visage

You speak your tales

You hear your breath

You feel your flaws

You smell your sweat

 *

They know your label

They see your veneer

They speak your deceits

They hear your speech

They feel your shell

They smell your perfume

 *

I know your title

I see your façade

I speak your truth

I hear your lies

I feel your betrayal

I smell your desperation

Refresh

Sometimes I wish night would take me Not to death But to somewhere new

[annawritesstuff]

Deepest Fear

If the choice were ever given

Between change and consistency

Then consistency would be ecstasy

For people fight change

What is known is appealing

Naturally, fear stems from things unseen

The unknown

Is that why you are frightened of yourself?

You thought you were being selfless. In reality all you were was selfish. I hope you're happy with the bed you made because that is where you will forever lay.

Please Care

I remember your kisses Soft and sweet Passionate and loving On my face Now tears are left They fall down silently During the night Leaving puddles everywhere I am weak My body aches My mind aches My soul aches All for you The one who said forever You lied And it kills me I think of things I shouldn't Of getting hurt For your attention Nothing drastic But what if there was An accident of some sort Then would you care I miss you Do you understand It burns my soul It kills my core Goodbye past lover The key to my pain I'll ache for you forever While you move on

[annawritesstuff]

Thank You Goodbye

You were once my best friend Now we don't speak And that's what you wanted I suppose I'm sorry I wasn't enough To make you stay But I keep loving you anyway Because you were mine I am grateful for what we had Even though it's over My hopes are all for you I want you to be happy Be successful for me Do what you want with your life Not what others tell you to do That is the best advice I can give Thank you for everything All the lessons taught All the laughs given All the memories made Have a great life Look to the sky And find what you yearn for Goodbye sweet love

[annawritesstuff]

Sincerely

Our goodbyes were said They crashed to the floor Shattering suddenly My heart fell with it Memories flash constantly I miss us But I am grateful for what was You taught me so much Your absence kills But the lessons learned Were worth it Even with the pain If I could have you back What would I do I honestly cannot say Because of everything I will not be shattered again You will not change I wish I could help you Before you self-destruct It is a futile effort At least I tried I wish you the best Thank you I love you But this is goodbye You made that perfectly clear Good luck with everything Sincerely Your grateful Depressed Ex

As the leaves fall upon the ground They caress the grass like a golden crown This cycle continues each year Yet no one cares to show a frown The crackle and crunch in our ears Brings a holiday that highlights fears Sick and twisted as it may seem This is the world we live in dear So take my hand and don't scream Fix the world so it can gleam When summer comes through the mound The world will shine for it is redeemed

[annawritesstuff]

Societies Puppet

Stringed together Take hold of me Make me go there Then make me leave I try to go left You yank me right I try to scream But you have control You tighten the cords I go stiff Help me please I think in my head Cursed as societies puppet Ideas shoved Thoughts pushed Can I think for myself

[annawritesstuff]

Heart Break

The pain is searing My stomach aches Eyes are tearing Is this heart break

I want to scream I’m in so much pain Death to the dream Going insane

Well I guess this is it Stab my heart Send me down the pit Pull my world apart

Rain is pouring down I’m numb to the cold My face is a permanent frown This feeling is getting old

Well goodbye now Nothing left to say I can go drown What a lovely day

[annawritesstuff]

Together During Crisis

Pain is present Screaming at the world Some minds are twisted and bent Destruction is brutally hurled Cuts and bruises in the land Blood flowing down the streets We must be together where we stand No bowing down in defeat There is good on this earth Just think of those you love You'll be filled with great mirth The peace will come in the shape of a dove I know it's hard But there's good out there Sometimes it's a small shard Others it's a size that's fair Love is what you need It will bring you to the light You can succeed With your happiness you shall be bright

Journey Home

A path A journey A change Take me to my destination Take me to that place Take me home It will get hard It will become painful It will be worth it in the end Heaven is where I came from Heaven is my true home Heaven is waiting with open arms You will mess up You will have fun You will most of all choose One day you'll make it One day you will see him One day his arms will be around you once more

The Inner War

There are bits and pieces Scattered inside me Some black as a night without stars Others white like fresh snow I try to stay away From all those dark places If I let them they'll consume Leave nothing left The armor must come on I must use my shield For there's an everlasting war Inside my soul it breathes I must take my mighty weapon Stab the darkness down Keep my face glowing You won't see me frown Love will shine through It's the brightest light On a cold winters eve With it I feel completely safe I imagine I'm in your arms The darkness disappears You make me a better person I've learned in a short time lessons of many years Thank you sweetheart You're all I will ever need I have won the battle And it's because of you I still breathe

Past the Moon and the Stars

Past the moon and the stars My love goes that far I always want to be right where you are It doesn't matter how bizarre I hold onto my prayers Hoping that anyone cares Does my heart whisper and I'm unaware? Because love you are so rare You shine like jewels Never have you been cruel You scare away the ghouls You are not among the fools I love you so dearly I hope you see that clearly Because I mean it sincerely Your love will never grow weary

Amanda #2

You stab her with your words
 She is pained by your glares
 How can you be so cruel
 Do you find joy in killing someone inside Can you even look at your reflection
This girl that you hate has never harmed you
 Why must you damn yourself so
 It’s like your crying out for Hell to take you You never even took the time to know her
 And yet the fact that she exists consumes your life
 You want her gone
 She almost granted your wish I thank God every day she changed her mind
 Without her I would be nothing
 She’s my best friend
 And I will not let you make her life end
