Sabotage Myself

Doing well
but
hell
bent
on my own

destruction


I

find myself
alive
but
then proceed
to
make
death a certainty


Why
I sabotage
my
self
I'll never
know

Afraid of failure
but
terrified
of success


Stuck

in the middle

Drowning
myself
in mediocrity

Abhorring
my
talent
and loathing

my waste


What I
could

be
I'd
never know


What I
would
be
I'll
never show


Why do I
hate
the very object
of
my desire


Why
do
I
lay siege
to my
dreams


My
heart
subverted
by
my mind

Blackmail

I attack
my own
character

and
undermine

my
potential

The
essence
of my
passion
I destroy

Tell me why
that
I
Sabotage Myself

Abandonment isn't...

Abandonment isn't
always physical be-
cause if it were then
you could do some-
thing aboout it.

Sometimes the things
that you can't see
are the most painful.

Often we are scared
by things that only
exist in our imagin-
ation.

The only thing to
fear is fear itself.

But why do we run
from the unknown?

Pretend that we're
brave, when we are
nothing but scared.

Think we're something
and nothing we become.

the masquerade

alone
cynical

behind these walls
when all is gone

darkness
surrounding
fear unleashed

like a demon
it feeds

screams
alive

when all is
gone
and daylight fades

i become what
no one knows

the masks i use
slowly fade

strength
stability

one by one
they come away

laughter
intelligence

until is left
a still bear soul

that no one
would recognize

when all is gone
truth remains

fear
insecurity

loneliness
cynicism

anger
neglect

in darkness
they hide

assured
of secrecy

convinced
of deception

and morning
when
comes

is all
the same


the sun
the mask

with light comes
another masquerade


hiding
beneath my skin

inside
i tremble


fear is poised
behind an empty smile

behind a hollow laugh
eyes as cold as winter

dead inside my shell
the masquerade revealed

followed

you
inside
me


i left
you
stayed


got me
by the throat

won't
you

ever
let me go?

i don't want
you
anymore

i'm done
can't you
see


if you
would leave
then
i
would be
free

can't you
see

i
don't

want
this

i don't want you
anymore

leave
me

alone

this gift
you gave

that fear
you
left

take it
just
leave

take it
with
you


i don't want
your
greed

i'm
tired

of
your
lies

of
you

following me

just
go

take
this

pain
i caused

when i
was the one
to love
to leave

but yet
you
won't let
me go

let me go
let me get on
with
my life

it is mine
you
know

or
you should


you never were
very bright

you always
tried

to
hide

it
all

from
me


and never
did i know
for sure
what i was
to do

always
hurt


the pain
you
give

the
lies

you
tell

you will never
know

how
much

how
scared i
am


and never
could i tell

because even
i

don't
know

why
the pain
the fear

you never
were man
enough
to
care

to tell me
the truth

you couldn't
stand

you
always
lied


i couldn't die
but
always
tried

you know
i couldn't
ever
make it
all myself


but why
couldn't i
leave
the fear
behind

why
am i
still
scared

of
being left


when i
was
the one

who left
you

behind



because you
were
never there

you
never
tried

always
lies


i never knew
what
was true

what
you
said

never
made sence



but i
wanted
so bad

to believe
you
to
love you


and still
i
never knew

the pain
that
would
be mine


all this time
and
still
i die

Tell me why...

Tell me why you
think that I can

and another
bittter
lie.

Some one stayed
I was left
Now I'm

afraid
abandoned.

You know I live
inside my lines,
I
pretend to give
another
care

No one sees
what's hid
away

the Autumn leaves
forever stay

Brown outside
showing
truth
they
had died
and are no
more

So am I
another
life
another sigh
another care.

Begone again
feeble
one
live in sin
die from grace.

You'll
never care
the
deepest me
I'll never share
So Runaway.

You think
you
wouldn't dare

hypocracy's
stink
above this marr

Left
alone
or so I think
ever slow

or maybe low.

Scrambled

Never world
through picture was

you a
space

place
always belonging

hope
about

dark
forgotten bottom

death
instead, the lines we meet

different without illusion
a rotten
sonnet
consider
love

Reconciliation

Sweetness,
Blue Skies.

Lovely hearts,
With emerald eyes.

Living smile,
Down I go.

Hear me now,
Far below.

Anonymous name,
That no one knows.

Things you tear,
Are things I sew.

Healing heart,
In my side.

Broken body,
No more lies.

One forgiven,
Ever loved.

You alone,
So far above.

I hide

No one knows
what I hide
myself
I died

fear
inside
alone
I try

Sweet
the sleep
but then
it slides

caring
tried
alone
It died

prophesy
fulfills
the failure
inside

why
then
do I
hide?

Fear
like chains
disguised
entangling

afraid
I fall
again
I die

failure
transposed
fear
exposed

failing
flailing
falling
inside

this fear
I live with
afraid
I grasp it

I run
I cry
I sleep
I die

Tell me why
I cry
when it's me
that hides.

Random Topics of Interest

Random Topics of Interest

This is my other blog. If you want to read my biased opinions, and find out what I'm interested in... check it out. If you're easily offended... don't.

Welcome to My Lair

I've been wanting to find a release for a while... but didn't exactly want to post my heart on my other blog (Random Topics of Interest) as I try to keep that more research and opinion oriented, and not so emotional.

Fact being I am not fond of emotions. They have their place of course.. They enhance life. But they can be a royal pain in the ass too.

That is probably why I like Data so much. He is logical, and he can deactivate his emotion chip. Lovely, huh? An emotional blog.. and I am making references to Star Trek... wow.

At any rate... I intend for this blog to consist mainly of bad poetry, rantings, and little bits of wisdom from time to time. If you happen to be desperate enough to read it... thank you.
