Warped & Twisted

by Skittles

Harsh words & violent blows

Hidden secrets nobody knows

Eyes are open, hands are fisted

Deep inside I'm warped & twisted

So many tricks & so many lies

Too many whens & too many whys

Nobody's special, nobody's gifted

I'm just me, warped & twisted

Sleeping awake & choking on a dream

Listening loudly to a silent scream

Call my mind, the number's unlisted

Lost in someone so warped & twisted

On my knees, alive but dead

Look at the invisible blood I've bled

I'm not gone, my mind has drifted

Don't expect much, I'm warped & twisted

Burnt out, wasted, empty, & hollow

Today's just yesterday's tomorrow

The sun died out, the ashes sifted

I'm still here, warped & twisted

When everyone else seems happy and you're not, it sometimes feels as if it's your own fault.

Screams Of Silence

by Tim Chambers

Begone ye screams of silence, harbingers of pain

Cloaked in isolation, you mock in harsh disdain

My soul is torn asunder, I curse you, God of Hell

As you pierced my tortured soul, what horrors I befell.

You spoke of quiet solitude, to tempt me to your lair

Then lanced me in my troubled heart, to depths of dark despair

Nemesis, I beg of thee, rise up in righteous ire

Protect me from Tisiphone, from Hell's eternal fire

With all my voice I scream to you, protect me from the night

Alas, in forlorn desperation, I journey to the light

Banished to mind's Coventry, I heed the demon's call

Beckoned by the silent screams, I enter Dante's hall.

Hmm. not quite sure about this one.

Goodbye

by Rosebud

Well maybe now I should just say goodbye

You used to be my friend

But I never felt I really was yours

So maybe this is the end.

I'm different from you, all of you

Each other we've never understood

I hope that if I do tell you goodbye

That it won't be for good.

Whenever I'm mad it hurts me so bad

And you don't even care

I don't know why, I just want to cry

And someday I won't be there.

The streaks on my arm they've done me no harm

They're only made of pen

But once they are blood that turns brown like mud

They'll be there again and again.

If I'm mad at you I'll hurt myself too

But that doesn't really matter

Although when I hurt I feel like dirt

And my spirit's bruised and battered.

I do not know why it has to be so

I really wish it did not

But the way this has been going

it is basically shot.

You don't need me and we don't need we

And that's how I think I know why

These words are the ones I have to speak-

I love you, but goodbye.





and about this one too)))

Unseen Friend

by Iceman

Although you are a friend of mine

and letters we exchange,

I wouldn't know you on the street,

and doesn't that seem strange?



You hold a place within my life,

unusual and unique;

We share ideals and special dreams,

and still, we do not speak.



I picture what I think you are,

perhaps you picture me.

An intriguing game for both of us

for someone we can't see.



So for this friendship we possess,

we owe this mail a debt,

Perhaps the charm lies in the fact

that we have never met.
