Hi. This is Moat. And this is where I would like to see people post some morbid poems, stories, etc. Although they don't have to, and I will be mainly the one posting here. First entry to my Morbid Literature Journal:
A very much more selfless, brighter, and, dare I say, more optimistic and therefore idiotic, view.
The Only Thing I Ask
I am on the test, the trial For my life, the danger is dire But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Is to keep others from the same fate Protect them from this amount of hate Save the others Please God the only thing I ask of You Save my friends and my mother From this horror My photographs, my memories Will have to help me through I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold I'm hurting and I'm hated They hurt me with word and rod But, dear God The only thing I ask of You The others around me have lost hope But I pray to You And I remember the good times You have given me With my family and friends And I can pull through Because hurt is nothing new In this world And all I need to do Is pray again to You I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold I am weak outside They have hurt my body and my mind For no reason other than I'm different I believe that the other prisoners went Well, I am still alive As long as I can, time after time Think about those I love Those left so far behind But I can't help but wish That I could be there again Back where I love to be There's nothing here for me On this road of life But I trust You, dear God And I pray to You, dear God The only thing I ask of You Save them this day I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold There's no one here Noplace to go My overwhelming fear Oh, no no no But it's not for me It's for them I will believe they're safe Until the end And there may be horror There may be strife But if I lose them It'll be like a knife And to you I pray Dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect them on this darkest day When I'm not around When I'm much too far away I'm lonely and I'm tired I'm missin them again The hatred of others burns like fire Why do they hate me? I'm just a man But, dear God The only thing I ask of You Protect my family and friends And my strength, it will hold Through the dark and through the cold Dear God You can take me Save them, protect them The only thing I ask Save the others from this fate Protect them all, upon this day
A more optimistic poem, with a different point of view.
Life Goes On
I shoulda seen it coming From miles and miles away You were moving away from life Every single day But now you're gone, I can't remember How does life go on? How can life go on? But life goes on! Yet I can't deny That every time I smile I just wanna cry! And every step feels Like it's miles away These wounds won't heal After another day But life goes on... And I'll stay even though you are gone! Cuz life goes on! Every passing hour Ticks on the clock tower And I know that I can't renew The truth And I know I'll be half-stuck in life Every moment cutting in like a knife But I still have friends! And they will follow me through to the end! So life goes on! But life goes on! Yet I can't deny That every time I smile I just wanna cry! And every step feels Like it's miles away These wounds won't heal After another day But life goes on... And I'll stay even though you are gone! Cuz life goes on! I never thought I would see the day All of the skies in my mind Turned all dark and gray And you have faded away But still life goes on! Even though you are gone! We're faking our smiles Even though they can see I can barely last without you and me But still does life go on! But life goes on! Yet I can't deny That every time I smile I just wanna cry! And every step feels Like it's miles away These wounds won't heal After another day But life goes on... And I'll stay even though you are gone! Cuz life goes on! I'm going to pieces every time And even though you all are kind I can't keep the pain, out of my mind! Cuz I got a few hugs A casserole or two But none of that's replacing you! And still life goes on and on! But life goes on! Yet I can't deny That every time I smile I just wanna cry! And every step feels Like it's miles away These wounds won't heal After another day But life goes on... And I'll stay even though you are gone! Cuz life goes on! I've had a bad day I can't push it away Cuz I know you aren't there And I am so scared But life will go on.... Life will go on
Well, take a look at this world What has it come to? So stark and so cold I really wish I could start anew So, will we ever see the day When this world gets better When life isn't cruel and gray? We'll have to wait and see You and me We'll wait and see that, If it's possible in this world So dark and cruel I cannot see the day I don't think I can Really, in this world so dark and gray Well, still we will stand Because I won't give in I cannot see the day When people no longer die But I'll be G-Dbleeped) if I don't try! Hey, see the soldiers sent out today? They're scared, but still they enter the fray Well, we aren't gonna fuel Their deaths, so very cruel In this world Hey, we'll stand straight and tall And we won't give up and fall We cannot see the day But we sure as hell are gonna try! Just think and dream Of a life after that day Of a life that's good and gleams Well, we may, just may See it and live it But in this world It can't happen So you can keep on dreamin I'll just keep on livin! I cannot see the day I don't think I can Really, in this world so dark and gray Well, still we will stand Because I won't give in I cannot see the day When people no longer die But I'll be (G-D-bleeped) if I don't try! Will we die before then? That'd be a minor sight This world, encompassed by night Well, the death toll's climbing new heights And in this catastrophe Staring and just holding on You and me Wouldn't rather live than die But I try(try try) Some look into the sky For a guiding light And answers to our lives (all of them are lies) But I stand all on my own If there is a God He hates us all Well, we should've known I cannot see the day I don't think I can Really, in this world so dark and gray Well, still we will stand Because I won't give in I cannot see the day When people no longer die But I'll be (GD-bleeped) if I don't try! (whisper) Wouldn't rather live than die But I try(try try) Some look into the sky For a guiding light (repeat 3x) Well, if the day won't come We'll have to go to it Or live through to it Or die waiting
They make me wanna run from it They make me wanna scream It's too late I've wasted my time screaming Screaming for help into silence Screaming for help vainly into the night The night that I die SOS! I scream to the silence Out loud, no one can hear me Caught up in this madness, too blind to see I really want to scream Scream out for help But it won't do a thing cuz I'm trapped in hell Fear took over my senses, I lost control Now they hear my screams tonight Scream to the silence Scream to the crowds The crowds in your head You're seeing the eyes of the beast By morning you'll be dead It's too late to scream I attempt to control my fright But they'll taste my blood tonight SOS! I scream to the silence Out loud, no one can hear me Caught up in this madness, too blind to see I really want to scream Scream out for help But it won't do a thing cuz I'm trapped in hell Fear took over my senses, I lost control Now they hear my screams tonight Scream to the silence Scream to the deafened Scream to the crowds Scream to the absent Scream to the dead ones Scream to the live ones No one listens No one hears you Save me God!(God!God!God!) Scream all you want there's nothing you can say or do Screeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam! SOS!
You stand and watch As they die Stand and watch Smile, and lie You let them fall They scream for help But nobody listens They're going to hell Stare at the carnage Scream as the blood drips Cry out for help But no one in the world hears They leave you alone with all your greatest fears They may hear you They may see you They won't help you Just let it go And let it bleed You scream out You shout The world can see But they won't help They stand and they let It Bleed You stand at the war front Praying that the sun will never rise For you don't want to see with your eyes Proof what happened was real Because you are so frightened Of the pain you will feel
OH no! I have run out of pre-written morbid stuff. That means*gasp* I have to actually get off my lazy butt(can't blame me, everyone's lazy at 3 in the morning) and write! But here is a spot where you can access a whole lot of my literature. Some of it swears too much to be PG-13. The poems are listed in categories: Dark Omens Into The Light Asylum Oh, wait! I think I found a song morbid enough for the thread! Prepare yourself!(and seriously, check out the link. I swear it's nothing bad)
This could be The final day Of you and me Till you're so far away I should've tried I should've died Before letting this happen to you Now, your life is due Oh, no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hold on through the night You cannot go into the light People, they walk They shop and they talk They live their lives They won't look any of us in the eyes They may be carefree They may not know But then again, they might And they might be able to read the pain in me But the calm of you You astound me, my love so true Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light But let me tell you a secret, my friend This will be your end And I can't be grateful That they're still alive, like you can All I can think about Is that I'm gonna die inside When I watch you Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light I'm not ready to watch you die Not ready to die inside I just have to try To make everything right And I swear to God Your last day on Earth Will be my best one Since the beginning, your birth Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light I watch say goodbye to your family Your mom and dad You call them and say "Please, don't cry Don't be sad." Then you turn to me and say "I may not be ready But, fear as I may I won't let my death Make my friends' and family's world gray Like I said, please don't cry" And despite your requests... I felt a tear in my eye Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light I'll let myself go I'll have fun, and be free For this day on Earth Is the last one for you and me (to be together on this Earth) I better spend it right But, what will be fun about life Without my love? My friends, they don't have to know That this is the end of your life But not the end of our love Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light I'm not ready to watch you die Not ready to die inside I just have to try To make everything right And I swear to God Your last day on Earth Will be your best one Since the beginning, your birth I must say goodbye And then I'll have attempt to have fun Because this day on Earth Is your very last one I can't let my fear, my pain Spoil this day for you Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light We may not be ready But you are brave, and you say: "But nor are the soldiers Nor are the victims Of war And of poverty So this may be the final day for me Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light But what about them?" But I won't cry I'll stand proud Because at least I know And I have one more day To make my life right(with you) Before the end When you enter the light I'm not ready to watch you die Not ready to die inside I just have to try To make everything right And I swear to God Your last day on Earth Will be your best one Since the beginning, your birth I will make everything right Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light I'll save the women And the men, and the children All those victims And all innocent deaths From the same pain I feel Is this the life meant For our race? Were we meant to live Just to die? No no no We will live for so much more None of us, ready to die And yet All of us do It's unstoppable, eventually So we must embrace And then we must make our lives Better, than the strife Of everyday life On this world Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light Not ready to die inside I just have to try To make everything right And I swear to God Your last day on Earth Will be your best one Since the beginning, your birth I could've seen tomorrow But it was risking too much sorrow I stayed in the dark about the day The time, exactly when you waste away I can't stop it I will try to And yet when it comes down You always knew This was unstoppable Oh no no, please please please I'm begging to you on my knees You have to hang on through the night You cannot go into the light
Meh. This one is really sub-par. Hate it, but I'm going to post it anyway.
Carl screamed again as the pain pulsed through him. In all the time he'd read the Bible, in all the time he'd heard the priest warn him of Hell and its burning pain and shrugged it off, he simply hadn't grasped Hell. And now that Lucifer had been set free on Earth, Earth became a model of Hell. And where was God? Who knew? He wasn't doing anything to help anyone. Carl screamed again as the flames licked hungrily at his flesh, sizzling and popping, flickering in the moonlight. Carl was forced to his knees, holding his head in his hands, due to the pain. And still it went on.
In a small lapse in the awful hellfire coursing through Earth, Carl plotted his escape. He didn't know where he would go; anywhere would be better than here. He paced back and forth, his horribly burned arms swinging to and fro. He was one of the few humans left alive after the initial takeover of Earth by the Devil. The others had been killed; fighting or they had simply been in the wrong place at the wrong time when the Devil felt like killing. And Carl had an ingenious plan.
Stealthily running towards the space center, Carl slipped the astronaut suit on. He felt its cool touch soothe his burned skin, and sighed quietly. It seemed ages ago when the air was clean and free of smoke and ashes, and smelled of meadows and flowers instead of burning flesh and burning Earth. When he and his wife had rested in the meadow, laughing... But this was no time for reminiscing, he reminded himself sharply. He had a duty to do. He clambered onto the rocket. He had not the slightest idea how to operate it, but had been an ace pilot in the war, and figured it couldn't be that different; as long as he was sitting in a cockpit, he could figure out the controls. Carl took the shift in his hands and pulled. He felt the rocket rising,and his heart and soul soared with it. He would escape! Suddenly, there was a rocking of the rocket. Lucifer had seen him. Soon he would be dragged back to Earth...and into the claws of the Devil. Carl gulped deeply. He gripped one of the shards of metal from the rockets. He drove it straight into his heart. Better that than face the Devil. But watching as a ghost, Carl never could help but wonder. What would've happened if he hadn't quit, hadn't given up? Would he still have escaped? He would never know. He had quit, committed suicide, and there was no way to tell what could have been.
A very direct reference to the death penalty and also soldiers.
Killswitch
I just can't do it anymore I can't win the battle, I won't fight the war I won't pull the trigger I just can't do it Killed so many Now I think again... It's not my decision Who lives and who dies The killswitch, isn't mine to flip I can't end a life I won't do it anymore My conscience got the best of me I wanna be free I wanna let go I don't want responsibility For another death Tens Hundreds Thousands Dead Not my choice anymore I won't pull the killswitch I won't drop the guillotine I won't flip the switch I won't light the match I can't kill them, bitch If I kill one more, I swear My mind will go I just don't have the authority To play God, to use the killswitch This is all so wrong The killswitch, isn't mine to flip I can't end a life I won't do it anymore My conscience got the best of me I wanna be free I wanna let go I don't want responsibility For another death Tens Hundreds Thousands Dead Not my choice anymore I won't pull the killswitch Some don't realize The good inside The horror Of what we've done I won't kill anymore I can't kill anymore
And in case you're wondering, no I didn't write that just now. I went digging in a different place and dug that up.
