United in Love, United in Hate

Forced to hide from a world

Shouting for equality

But behind closed lips hatred boils for people who are different

People like me, people who love.

I walk through this empty house, never fully understanding how my own flesh and blood could turn their backs on me when I reveal I am one of the lovers, the lovers who don't care if the one who holds their hearts is deemed appropriate by society

In the news, I see us cry out

Be equal! But then our voices break, knees crumble to the earth

Why do people only see sexual labels: gay, lesbian, bisexual, straight, see only our genders, not the love we feel, the pain society causes

Why not hold our lover's hands without fear of hatred and violence ambushing us?

Why tell us all of our lives, "Love conquers all" yet say two men hell even two women cannot walk down the asile?

We unite against your hate

Out of hope you will change

Out of fear we are forever branded "different"

Guilt and Rage: A Painful Combination

Bones are breaking, screams are shattering the silence

Pain swelling in the pit of my stomach, claws puncturing my lungs and tearing me apart

Clenched fists connect with vulnerable walls, and my voice becomes hoarse with rage

I feel my heart as I am cut up with razors so sharp they could slice through an angel's skin

My angel's skin. The very image tightens my muscles, makes the screams start to build

Bones are shattering, screams hammering the eardrums

I can't forgive myself for not trying harder, for not seeing the pain that made her snap

My clenched fists connects with my broken heart

And drives me mad

The strange things guilt make you do.

Scars

I have more scars than life

Lashes from venomous tongues infect me

Shattered pieces still fester in my chest

I should have been marked "Handle with Care" but no one seemed to mind seeing me disassembled

No one seemed to attempt to save me

I have more anguish than soul

Terror haunts my dreams

Demons still claw at my sanity

I wish someone would take off their blinds and see me dying

I pray someone would become unfrozen and snatch me from plummeting to death's awaiting arms.

Can no one save me?

Every time I ask God this question

He leaves me in silence

Frankenstein

Her smile haunts my dreams, never being able to rip away the portrait of false perfection

I can never get words out from behind the locked doors of my heart

I can't truly see the repulsive creature I see every time I pass a mirror

You are my creator

I hunger for your love, crave for your touch, and thirst for the quenching relief of your kiss

Do you not see how deformed I turned out?

I'm not meant to be your experiment

I was not meant to turn into a being sewn carelessly back together after your mistakes

Am I doomed to stalk through the passages of your castle of hearts?

I am locked away until the soul that chains me fades away with time

Forever your Frankenstein
