Hey everyone. Well ive noticed alot of stuff has happened while ive been gone in Italy and surgery. everything seems to be very kool though Here's my poem.

Standing on the edge of this world
gazing down into a void
my heart beats faster
burning the flames within my soul
desperate for happiness
begging to be loved
lost in sadness and anger
Chaos tugging at the seams of my sanity
it's a losing battle between life and death
as unhappy thoughts race through my mind
every idea, every step gets harder
insomnia destroys a once happy child
the nightmares of the past make their
way back, harsh slaps, cruel words
beat a steady painful rythm in my mind
rough hands tear at the buttons
ripping away at everything
ringing blister's my ears, a painful
shot sears through your body
a desperate child searching for answers
only finds more impossible questions
recalling harsh memories brings only pain
but relieves a worried mind
a mask covers my face, cracking slowly
showing the true person behind, no fake
raw emotions tear at my limbs
eating away at each other till there is
only skin and bone
a peaceful mind soothes an angry mind
a scared body, trapping a sad soul
cracks open to show true blackness

Regina

WELCOME BACK REGINA

This is another of your darker pieces. You know what I think of your dark stuff- it is your best. This one is no exception to the rule. Definitely one of your better ones. The description, the emotion, it is all brilliantly weaved.
See you around, love.

This seemed really good to me, your wording was really good.

"a peaceful mind soothes an angry mind"

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

HEEEeeeeeeeeeey Regi!!!!!
Welcome back! I've missed you! *hugs*
well this was a nice poem to come back with. Dark, but you do bring that into the forum which is good cuz we can't always have that lovy lovy stuff and blah. Nicely done!

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
