A much darker take on things; a poem with 1 stanza dedicated to a point of view, then moving on. Victim, murderer, family.


Darkness From Every View

Tick tock, my time is running out
What am I doing here?
What are they doing to me?
They are evil, without a doubt
And I must just say good bye to all those I hold dear
I wanna be set free
But the pain and suffering, I can't think through this
All I want now, is a way through the pain, death so bliss

I might be insane
I like causing pain
I don't care about them
I don't care about their end
I don't care what lives they could've lived
If I didn't kill them
I just wanna kill and kill and kill again
Cuz that's what always happens in the end
Evil in this world
Always has been
Always will be
And so I'll get off with my life
Even though I caused death, misery, and strife

What have they done?
The clouding pain
They must be insane
My poor poor friend
My poor poor wife
What a terrible way to end their life
And yet they go away almost free
And that is not near enough for me

I wonder what type of band we'd make : /

This is a song almost.

Here's my poem:

Evil has graced my eyes,
Another soul dies,
Only the wicked can do this,
Only the wicked can see this.

I learned there is no mercy,
Only pity.
Mercy is for the weak,
And the wicked are not weak,

If they were weak,
They wouldn't kill.
If they aren't weak,
Then mercy is undeserved.

The souls that are wicked,
The souls that are truly evil,
Those are the ones I speak of,
And those are the ones that should die.

Death is something they incited,
Death is something they deserve.
But if we do that are we any better?
Are we any better than the wicked soul we kill?

I think not.
Yet it must be done,
It must occur.
It must, or we have yet another soul who does not deserve life.

Once murder is finished,
After that final blow,
The soul ceases to be human,
And becomes lower.

They all go to hell,
But what about the executioner?
Does he go to hell?
I think not.

It's almost an epic. No real flow but tells a story.

What kind of band? The Viking kind that wears skull necklaces.
Yeah, that's right. I heard in this metal documentary about this Viking band, the singer got in a motorcycle accident and pieces of his skull came off, and the rest of the band made necklaces out of the skull shards. That kind of band.
I don't even like that kind of music, but that's judging from our lyrics.
Whoa, can I be right? I think my sense of humor has returned.

Well, you asked for it!

Thirteen Ways to Kill Me

Thirteen ways to kill me,
It doesn't matter how you decree.
Thirteen ways to wipe me off,
It doesn't matter I'm aloft.

A copper bullet to the a head,
Burst of fire to see me dead.
It'll be quick just pull the trigger,
My brains in orbit, eyes a last flicker.

A thick knife to my chest,
Won't it simply be the best?
Spurt of pale rose liquid,
A scythe to cut off the weed.

A glass of gin laced with cyanide,
Bittersweet drink for my iron side.
It glides gracefully down my throat,
Your eyes twinkle and mine gloat.

String me up with a course noose,
Tighter so I won't run loose.
I'm a puppet in the rafter's hands,
Swinging ever so slightly like a fan.

Lock me in a room to starve,
On my gravestone you can carve.
I'll eat the sweet tasteless air,
Join me please if you would care.

Or nail me to a wooden cross,
But shine it first with a layer of gloss.
A dozen nails should suffice,
Lamb to the slaughter for sacrifice.

You can drown me in the deep blue sea,
I'll see the bright fish and corals with glee.
Bubbles issue from my open mouth,
As my fingers stretch Down South.

Push me off the Grand Canyon,
To see my skeleton alone and abandoned.
I'll fly at an exhilarating speed,
Now who would commit such a deed?

Run me over with your Cherry Chevy,
You'll see my flattened face all merry.
Sleeping eternally on the road,
My bones crack, my body implodes.

Light me with the Roman candle,
The wax on its silver handle.
I'll burn bright for the entire World,
Spark of crimson like a church mural.

Slit my outstretched wrists,
Watch the droplets drip in bliss.
I apologize I've stained your rug,
Life fades away, pull the plug.

Choose a nice scenic meadow,
Bury me alive don't forget the pillow.
Pile the warm loamy dirt on,
Cover me with leaves and fronds.

Or just flash that sweet killer smile,
Matched not even by Cleopatra of the Nile.
I'll have one hurried longing gaze,
Before falling dead and amazed.

What kind of band? The Viking kind that wears skull necklaces.

How did I know I'd find you here, Nichodemus?
Nah, an Evil Soul sounds too dark.
Maybe: "Shadows of the Mind"
Yeah, yeah?

Maybe: "Shadows of the Mind"

Uh...I really do think I'm turning dark and morbid. Not to fear! My humor is returning(though you won't find any in this poem).

I'm falling
I can't hear you
I can hear Death a-calling
And I always knew
That the human soul
So dark and cold
Would be capable of this
But I never thought it'd be me, on the other end
Me, waiting for the darkest bliss
Me, falling,failing, screaming in pain
Me, watching as blood drips like rain
I can hear your screams
They will haunt my dreams
Follow me through the endless night
Screaming, watching, endless fright
This is the end
For me, my friend
But don't you cry
I won't lie
It hurts, it's sad, yes I know
But the human soul has sunk so low
I don't think it can go any farther
Even a son would kill his own father
And as the darkness closes in
As we watch dying children, women, and men
As we shut our ears and eyes to the screams in the night
Do we ever think we'll be the next to experience this fright?


I would like:
Title Ideas
Feedback on the Poem

Shadows of the Mind: The Band
Or maybe The Fallen?

Either way, I get dibs on singing! I suck at anything else.

Again, I had to find one....not so morbid.

Back to Reality

I am an instigator,
So be my terminator.
I wander a land of sanguine smiles,
A place of familiar strangers.

Shake sense into your head,
You won't know if they're real.
Topple that dream castle of yours,
Cause it'll only drive you insane.

Get back to sober reality,
Don't push to the extremities,
Dampen that withering spark,
And it's back to Noahâs Ark.

You know it can't last for long,
That it's only connected via a screen.
So shut off the power line now,
Or end up popping those damn pills.

Pull out before you go too deep,
In every answer may lay a trap.
We know that it will hurt,
But just get back to reality.

Get back to sober reality,
Don't push to the extremities,
Dampen that withering spark,
And it's back to Noah's Ark.

It's my escapade but it's a fantasy,
High for a moment like ecstasy.
Not worth the price I must pay,
I'll not be here when it collapses.

A life like that ghetto man,
Perhaps that was all it was meant to be.
This will not do, it will not suffice,
I'll resume the path more trodden on.

Get back to sober reality,
Don't push to the extremities,
Dampen that withering spark,
And it's back to Noah's Ark.

Words are spaces between us,
They echo in the empty white rooms.
I see those grinning pictures,
But for all I know they conceal the truth.

A spot of light floods the room,
And pours over my world of pretend.
In the back lanes you'll find me.
The eyes ease open and it's dark again

Get back to sober reality,
Don't push to the extremities,
Dampen that withering spark,
And it's back to Noah's Ark.

Perpetual game of hide and seek,
Just that I'm the little grey mouse.
Gaze through the hazy horizon,
And come back to the world.

I'll try to be fine again,
But you know it won't soothe the pain.
One day too late too far,
Just as well turn off all my shallow dreams.

Get back to sober reality,
Don't push to the extremities,
Dampen that withering spark,
And it's back to Noah's Ark.

But how can I be sober,
When I'm dying over here?
The knife is in my hands,
Yet I hesitate to make the cut.

Everything falls apart in this virtual realm,
Even the people who never frown,
Sink to their knees and breakdown,
The sacrifice for the moments of rush.

In the memory you'll find me,
Watching the Sun and Moon elope.
But why should I care?
My powers of persuasion are long dead.

So get back to sober reality,
Don't push to the extremities,
Young man perhaps you should stay,
Yet I feel that lovely dream in me expire.

Yeah...wow, really morbid poem right here.
Can we get any stories? Just to mix up the pot?

Life's Painkiller

Hey doc(doc doc)
We all know I'm dying inside
Nothing worked
You tried it all
Brompton cocktail
Morphine
It can't work on my heart
It won't work on my soul
Oh, this life is so cold
Now, it's my life to give
My right to die
And is it really worth living
In this kind of life?
Now, my chest it burns so
And my face just went numb
I won't survive
In this kind of world
I refuse to hold on
It's so cold(just so cold)
I just wish it would end
I just can't pretend
I have any will to live
No longer
There's no painkiller
For a hole in the heart
I just can't live
In a world so cold(so cold)
There's only one cure
You know what it is
Please...
My sins are forgiven
My life is redeemed
I'm headed for heaven
I'm held in esteem
In this world so cruel
Is it truly so wrong
To leave it behind?
Not in my mind
I'm just not that strong
I can't survive in this world
This world, it's true hell
Now, I hear the twelfth bell
It's not such a crime
It's simply my time
I will leave this life behind
I just wish it would end
I just can't pretend
I have any will to live
No longer
There's no painkiller
For a hole in the heart
I just can't live
In a world so cold(so cold)
Oh this world so cruel
I need no more fuel
No more inspiration for this
The end is in sight
The end of this life
The entrance to a better world
Now, I can see the light
Here to save me from this fright
Thank you doctor
You've set me free

A Soldiers Time

Death is knocking,
Now I'm blocking.
Nothing to fear,
Death seems to leer.

Lead is falling,
Death my calling,
Blood splashes around,
Making a slamming sound.

All I see is death around me,
Then a final bee,
Buzzing around,
Making a buzzing sound.

Another case of the Reaper,
The bee hits a leaper.
Guns shooting all around,
Making a booming sound.

Steel strikes my friend,
His life he seems to lend.
Bombs striking all around,
Making an explosive sound.

All I see is black and white,
Then I see a light.
A bomb has taken me,
Now I cease to be.

In case you're wondering, no I don't write this quickly. I am just digging up past written works that I deem morbid enough to be featured here.

Martyr(Nobody Will Miss You)

When you're low on hope, think of the sun
There will be peace in the end, when
You
Are
Done
Lay your pathetic life to rest
And please remember, it's for the best
You will be our new hope
Free our bonds, and cut the rope
Give yourself up to our creed.
Save us, from the world's greed
Hey there bud, now don't you cry
We'll still love you even after you die
(chorus)Oh, you're a martyr
Your death is gonna save this Earth
Yeah, you're a sacrifice, that's what you're gonna do
But can ya follow through?
Hey there friend, I know you're feelin kinda down
On your face there is a permanent frown
Now this time around, I won't lie
Nobody's gonna miss ya after you die!
You're gonna save some young kid's life
From the horror, of poverty and strife
You're gonna rescue the old man who
Just got cancer, how he'll thank you
You're gonna set all of us free
Everybody, yes that includes me
You're gonna save the soldiers out there today
You can do it, so hey hey hey!
Oh you're a martyr
Your death is gonna save this Earth
Yeah, you're a sacrifice, that's what you're gonna do
But can ya follow through?
Now your life, it wasn't the best
Now, we can joke and we can jest
But, really it is true
Nobody's gonna miss you!
So just do it (do it do it)

Left Behind(Burning For Vengeance)


Burning, now I bring you hell
Leave me tonight
When the warnings said
Left a shudder upon you
They were not lies
Look into my eyes
Soul of the night
You can hide all your fright
But for the soul of the night
When a misleading "friend"
Mark a horror upon my
Ghost of a life!
I can't condone the way you
Led me through the path into heaven
To leave me behind in hell
Free me tonight
Lest the animal caged loose its fury upon you
No one can stay behind
Save me
From wreaking my revenge
Free me
From the burning of my soul
More chilling
Than I could ever know
Trapped in the moment
And I just can't stop
You indulging your bloodlust
So why shouldn't I?
No, I can't control the venom's flow
Corrupting my soul
Now I'm losing my balance
So get back from me, demon
Or be exorcised!
You gave me redemption
You gave me repentance
You gave me contrition
You gave me compassion
But you were lying
You lifted me up the path, into heaven
You left me behind, burning in hell
No one can stay behind
Just can't get 'round
How you led me to heaven
To leave me behind
No one can stay behind
You control all your fright
But for the soul of the night
I just can't comprehend
Why you would do this to me?

No one can stay behind
You have hidden your fright
But for the soul of the night
You led me into heaven
Just to leave me behind!
Why would you leave me behind?
How could your soul take the guilt?
What did I do to you? I stopped your venom's flow
So you gave it to me.
Hahahahaha

Turning Away

Can't you see?
I just wanna be me
Can't you leave me alone
Cuz I can't just change myself
It is my life, my flesh and bone!
Not yours to burn!
Can't we just smile
And live for a lil while
Without the fear and pain
But we can't go back
Cuz all that we lack
Is the ability to remain
Without the screams
That haunt our dreams
I hear the screams within the night
I lock the doors, and turn away
To all my growing fright
And so life goes every day
Can't we just smile
And live for a lil while
Without the fear and pain
But we can't go back
Cuz all that we lack
Is the ability to remain!
Without the screams
That haunt our dreams
Oh no! I won't live this life
Turnin away from others' strife
Hearing their screams
But living their dreams
And ignoring their pleas for help
Cuz if I hear them
If I adhere to them
Then I'll be goin to hell!
Can't we just smile
And live for a lil while
Without the fear and pain
But we can't go back
Cuz all that we lack
Is the ability to remain!
Without the screams
That haunt our dreams
Why won't you hear our screams!
Why can you live our dreams?
Why do we rot in an awful place?
While you're living like a wonder child?
We just wanna live for a while
It's not fair
It's not fair
For you to be over there!
Can't we just smile
And live for a lil while
Without the fear and pain
But we can't go back
Cuz all that we lack
Is the ability to remain!
Without the screams
That haunt our dreams
I don't wanna hear your screams!
I don't wanna be living
In your life and dreams!
With your pain and screams!
They echo in my ears!
And I hear all my fears!
But I turn away!
I turn away!
I break away!
I break away!
And I just don't wanna hear it
Anymore...
