Why dream, why think, why even try?
It's all flooded away by the tears I cry.
Those monsters tearing up my brain,
advising me never to breathe again,
They cringe in vain as I scream "No!",
I must be alive, I cannot go
To the even deeper hell from whence they came,
a place of sorrow, pain, and blame.
A fist to defend me, so vulnerable yet
to the hurt and potential of the people I've met.
And must they leave, what would I be?
Nothing but an empty, shredded me,
Alone in the darkness again once more,
the devil predicting when I crumple to the floor,
With the mangled confusion in my eyes,
The terror filled with cunning lies,
My sagacity scaring all away;
They will always remember this testing day
Where little Beth finally met her end,
for once, alone, without a friend.
And, alas, I'll laugh a happy cry
as my whole life flashes before my eyes,
And a single tear falls without a sound,
and an insane, torn figure drops to the ground.
...
So hardly believable that's it's all fake,
I spring up from the sheets,
And from my nightmare, I wake.

This kind of just came out, no matter how dumb that sounds. I randomly grabbed my notebook and just wrote and I guess it was, well, this.

It should say "comment graciously." This deserves it.
Hold on...in...out...in...out...
POEM!:
I know I've read this a million times...I just haven't commented...and Beth, I do not hesitate to say that this blew me to China EVERY SINGLE TIME. Shit. And you think I can write?? Jeezums, flaunt this gift, this blessing, like a friekin diva!
I cannot say which part was my favorite, yada yada yada, for I absolutely adored it all. Honest to God.
...I hate it when I'm jealous of people.

Ooh, I LOVe this line,
A fist to defend me, so vulnerable yet
to the hurt and potential of the people I've met.
Genius. OH &, this was just as amazing
So hardly believable that's it's all fake,
I spring up from the sheets,
And from my nightmare, I wake.
