Slither

By; ~NeverAmI

Scales of a snake

beneath my feet

Smoke forces a choke

A joke, slither on

I feel the pain

the wound of flesh

the poisonous taste

Warm moistened breath

Your eyes on mine

What do they want?

They toil the night

Devouring me at once

You would take me

Make me a fiend

tie my hands

leave me to scream

This life of mine

This breath you take

This heart you break

Still, you slither on

Forever Me

by ~NeverAmI

I learned an important lesson today.

About who I am, and who I portray.

These two, they are not the same.

So different, it is such a shame.

Another day of living with myself and I.

Putting myself down, the real me hides.

Lost down a rabbit hole, the inner me fades.

The outer me a lie that never complains.

"No, I don't feel anything, I have no pain!

Make it hurt, make it bleed, give me the blame."

Like a sick masochist I beg for something more.

I am the one that's broken but I continue to ignore.

So what do I do now, when I thought I was right?

Just another lesson learned, continue with life.

Constantly humbled, shown I am so wrong.

Led by confusion on a dead end trail so long.

The journey, I must see, has the answers I look for.

That message in a bottle will never wash ashore.

So here I live, here I learn, and here I sit.

Knowledge my only love and I am sick of it!

But this is me, its who I am, I must accept.

If I don't, misery will be my only facet.

Come out of your hole, the real me.

Please meet who I would like to be.

Together, we can be, "Forever Me."

The Face

By: NeverAmI

What does it look like?

can you even see?

the beauty of passion

pure desire set free

the fire in me

So far down

uknown to most

burning without sound

You have no idea

because you never looked

you didn't even try

and so you mistook

it was a failure in sight

mind's eye is blind

stumbling through life

falling for the last time

To you I am a pawn

a player in your game

a tool to be used

when your majesty so claims

but you fail to see

the beauty of it all

third eye is blind

like a babe you so crawl

Crying throughout the night

you weep among the trees

you face the fortune of fate

turning it's back upon thee

you wonder why it's always you

but you will never see

that the face of fortune

looks a lot like me

Blissful Escape

By: ~NeverAmI

Some would call me weak

Unable to face this life

So easily overwhelmed

Where others flourish and thrive

Lately I have been so excited

To be released from this all

My shoulders never beared much

The weakest twigs forever fall

I know it's a selfish act

So much pain to those I love

But I had been repeating over and over

It's time to do something for myself

Don't feel bad for me

There is no need to grieve

If anything, be happy

For I have been set free
