Snark Bite

I am fond of the word Snark
Which reminds me of the magnificent shark
The greatest fish in the sea
The one difference would be
That a shark's bite is far worse than it's bark

Paper Doll

Let me tell you
What makes me weary
I'm sick and tired of
Everyone who thinks they know better than me
What I should be
What I should do
What I should think
And who wants to dress me in pretty pastels
And wrap me up with bows
And paint a smile on my face
Because that's what a girl should be
And who wants to give me scented lotions
And mysterious potions
And push pills down my throat
To turn me into who they think I should have become
And who wants to tell me what I should dream
What I should imagine
What I should create
Take a scissor
And a big square of paper
And cut out the form of a woman
About 5 foot five
With the perfect measurements of course
Because a woman's hips shouldn't be this wide
And then draw a perfect face
Always smiling of course
Because good girls never get angry or frown
And you can name it after me
And then you can have just what you want
And it will never be sad
Or sick
Or disobedient
I've just given you the perfect woman
Now why don't you give me what I want
And leave me the fuck alone?

The Real Lily/Cie
Flawed as fuck
Angry as hell
Tired of playing nice

Back to Black

(a convoluted fucking poem that doesn't rhyme in the same way all the time and follows no fucking format, just tells that I am having a BAD FUCKING DAY and feeling very alone and friendless right now, and if you don't like it, fuck off. I don't need anyone's condescending attitude. I'm crazy, not stupid, and condescension does not sit well with me. So if you don't have something kind or helpful to say, don't say anything at all. And don't even talk to me about meds. Most of them make me very, very sick. I can't take them. Poetry that HONESTLY tells how I'm feeling is one of the ways I cope. So if you're only going to tell me I "need help..." Bitch, I already know that and am getting the help I can! This is one of the things that helps me. If you can relate, cool. If you can sympathize, cool. If all you're going to do is tell me how "sick" I am, then piss off and die. This is it, this is real, this happens sometimes. Roll with it or go visit some fucking celebrity fan page and leave me alone. That being said, here it is. And it's worth every penny you paid for it!)

The bleak has set in
And I'm back to black
Feeling the gloom closing me in its trap

I want to take a gun
To my head, to my heart
To just end all this shit
To tear this misery apart

I won't I suppose
Though it would feel good in a way
To have revenge on the gloom
That ties me up in this way

I'm sick of the people
Telling me how to feel
I'm sick of hiding my emotions
And not saying what's real

I'm not always like this
But some of the time
I'm trapped in the darkness
Though the sun shines outside

And there are some people
Whose lives are that way
Abused and confused
In a prison each day

And who is anyone to tell them that they should just be happy
That the darkness isn't real
That their feelings are wrong

Who is anyone to judge
The anguish within
Those who give up the fight
Feeling there's no way to win

I guess I'm still fighting
For what the fuck it is worth
But at the same time I'm cursing
The day of my birth

"Quit complaining," I'm told
"Or take some kind of drug"
The drugs make me more crazy
I'd rather just take a slug

Give me a bullet
Give me a gun
Give me a black day alone
And I'll make it done

The Frustrated, Pissed off and Crazy Bitch From Hell

Damned Gloom

The damned gloom
Settles upon me at moments
most inopportune

It comes without reason
Whatever the season
And leaves me inclined to curse

The Universe
Which allows me to fall
and to be crushed beneath

The unwanted spell
The unwarranted hell
Brought upon me at any time

Day or night
In darkness or light
By the damned gloom.

Into The Dark

I'm having a bad day
And I guess it's ok for that to happen sometimes
But it doesn't feel that way

I wish that I were beautiful
I wish that I were wonderful
I wish that I were loved

But are any of these things a guarantee
That the darkness inside of me
Won't close in and destroy my soul?

Not that I--at least in this lifetime--will ever know.

Eating Disorder

My stomach is not hungry
My soul is hungry

But I do not know how to feed a soul
So I feed my stomach

And now I am fat
And my soul is hungrier than ever.

In The Dark Night of my Soul

I do not believe in anything.
But that's all good.
For I don't think anything believes in me.

For my Son

Today he seems in good spirits
And I bring him a quesadilla and a coconut shake
And laugh at his jokes
And feel sad and baffled
Because he seems just like a young man
Who is sensible, rational and intelligent
With a bright future ahead of him
Not like a troubled boy
Who ended up in the emergency room yesterday
With plans to kill himself.
And I try not to hate myself
(but I do)
For the fact that the genes that make his mind try to kill him
For no good reason
Come from me.
--Cie

For my son

I hope with any hope I ever had or have left that the counseling will help and you will be able to live a long, happy life in spite of the fact that you seem to have inherited my damn disease.

Me, Emo?

You Are 48% Emo

You're not emo, but you're plenty thoughtful, unique, and even a little angsty.

Are You Emo?

Emo was after my time anyway. Actually, so was Goth. I'm pretty damn old!

What if

What if I mattered
What if I were wonderful
What if I were beautiful
What if I were just good enough

What if I could turn something to nothing
Then maybe I would be
Somebody
Instead of just something
(really nothing)
Just a little bit of something

Worthless.

A Lame Limerick

Scarlet was having a limerick contest on her blog and I entered this piece of sh...I mean, wit.

There once was a troll name of Jim
Who harrassed female bloggers on whim
When he was pushed from a cliff
The chicks all thought it was spiff
And now Jim never will get any trim

It's based on a true story, Folks. Suffice it to say, there really are some grade A fuckheads who get their jollies roaming about saying disgusting stuff to people and then they tweak their millimeter while reading the nasty comments that come back at them because it's the only attention losers like them can get. We're better off just not feeding them but this asshat had me so riled up....GRRRRR!!!!

All right, enough. I don't want to have to reach for the extra strength Valium today. Instead I'll just reach for my favorite fix:

Fukitol, take me away!
xxxooo,

What If A Day

What if a day or a month or a year
Crown thy delights with a thousand sweet contentings
May not the change of a night or an hour
Cross thy desires with as many sad tormentings
Fortune, honor, beauty youth
Are but blossoms dying
Wanton pleasure, doting love
Are but shadows flying
All our joys are but toys
Idle thoughts deceiving
None hath power of an hour
In their lives' bereaving

Earth's but a point to the world, and a man
Is but a point to the world's compared centure
Shall than the point of a point be so vain
As to triumph in a silly point's adventure?
As is hazard that we have
There is nothing biding
Days of pleasure are like streams
Through fair meadows gliding
Weal and woe, time doth go
Time is never turning
Secret fates guide our states
Both in mirth and mourning

--Thomas Campion
1606

Heart of Darkness

I have descended again into the heart of darkness
Don't know how long I will remain
Don't want to be good
Don't want to be bad
Just want to finish rotting
Just want to be done
This can't be living
Does dying hurt so much?
I wish somebody knew me

Genius Poetry

A Dangerous Flirtation

Those who have never been lost in the unending gloom
Of the dark night of the soul
Can never understand
And will turn up their noses and revel in the illusion of false superiority
And they will never know
That suicide becomes harder to resist
When death has a pretty face
To match his soothing embrace
The desire to become his eternal beloved
Is almost irresistible.

Wasting Time

Your Love Type: ENFJ

The Giver In love, you give your all and feel guilty when relationships fail. For you, sex is not seperate from love and caring. Overall, you are humorous, giving, and motivational. However, you tend to be over-protective and critical of your partner. Best matches: INFP or ISFP

What's Your Love Type?

I hate it when these things are accurate!

Brooding

Shrouded, I walk the night

Cloaked in my suspicions

Hiding in shadows

I would like to believe you when you say you love me

But it seems too good to be true

I fear it must be gratitude

For I am not good enough to warrant the touch

Of even the lowliest creature on the earth

Let alone one so beautiful as you.

Lies Resurfacing

Day after day my soul turns dry and brown
Like flowers on a long forgotten grave
Yesterday is dead and tomorrow is a screaming nightmare
Why the fuck should I want to greet tomorrow
When its promise is nothing but a hollow lie?

Do you want me to lie and tell you that everything is rosy sunshine sky blue
When really everything is a stinking cesspool cemetery
Where the coffins have been pushed to the surface by the earthquakes of remembered misery
Yesterday is an agreed upon set of bullshit
Tomorrow is a fucking illusion
And today is an empty set of broken promises

I think all I want is to be left alone
In bad company
With the rotting corpses of my dead hopes
In the long-forgotten graveyard
Of my murdered dreams.

Bad

How meaningless I am
And when I am sad
Everybody disappears
Nobody hears.

Icehouse Angel Street

It's a song, but I think it's poetic too.

Icehouse - Angel Street Lyrics

she draws the curtain wide
and brushes back her hair
she stands before the mirror
wondering what to wear
but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street
so she waits for the call
knowing only too well
a photograph a dusty window
where the sun strays in
everywhere the sounds of morning
as the day begins
people waiting at the station
do they go nowhere
two lines that stretch out in the distance
turn and disappear
but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so she waits for the call
and she waits for so long
knowing only too well
she tells herself there must be more
toujour l'amour l'amour
but she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
the girl on angel street
she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street
she knows no one will care
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
with the girl on angel street
so easy to forget
just another sad affair
the girl on angel street
