I'll tear you apart,
I'll rip you to shreds,
Without using violence,
I'll use words instead,
I don't give a ****,
If it was only a joke,
Stick your ego in your pipe,
And give that a smoke.

You can't tell me that it was a tease,
There are better ways of teasing,
Without being a ******,
Oh, I'm sorry, I reacted too quick?
I've put up with enough ****,
Stop being a ****.

I'm sick of your games,
You do make me laugh,
You first act like an angel,
Then break me in half.
Here's a quick reminder,
You're weaker than glass,
So don't give me crap,
**Because I'll be kicking your ***.

So Much of So Little

The adrenaline courses through my veins,
The thrill of the fight
A storm in the night

My skin tingles with anticipation,
Free-falling from the sky
The echo of a wolf's cry

My heart pounds with excitement,
On the edge of Space
The end of a race

I've experienced so much
*But I have seen so little

Heart & Soul

My heavy heart, it was meant to burst,
To whisper all the words that were left unheard,
Tell me please,
Tell me please if I'm alive,
I feel so empty and hollow inside,
Dreams have died.

My stone cold soul, it was meant to thaw,
To release the burdens that are so raw,
Help me please,
Help me please to collect the pieces,
Before they spread like diseases,
Before my happiness ceases.

Expectations

There comes a time in your life,
When you feel like you are being pulled in different directions,
Education
Marriage
Family

So many choices that you have to make so quickly,
Like you have been thrown into the deep end without knowing how to swim,
Like pulling into the fast lane but not knowing how to drive.
We become a part of high expectations,
Rules that we force ourselves to abide by in order to succeed,
Failure is not an option.

People tell us to wake up and smell the coffee,
But how can we if we barely have time to even wake up?
As soon as we are conscious we are expected to work hard,
No pain, no gain
If you believe, you will achieve

That's all I ever hear.

The Mind of a Killer

What are you doing? Stop, please just stop!

My conscience is screaming at me,
Throwing itself against the barricades of my mind,
Kicking and punching so violently that my skull throbs with the pain.

But another voice is telling me otherwise
Pull the trigger. Go on, it'll be fun!
I feel the guttural tremors of its laugh ripple through my bones.
Pull the trigger!
My hands start to tremble.
Pull the trigger!
My mouth becomes dry.
Pull the trigger!
Pull it!
Pull it!
PULL IT NOW!

A wave of pressure washes through me,
My ears are ringing,
Pulsing with the cries of a million particles of air hurtling through the sky,
All finding refuge deep in the crevice of my eardrums.
I see the crimson blood on the floor.
What have you done?
My conscience is sobbing.
What have you done? What have they done to deserve this?
Animal
Savage
Murderer

But the voice silences it.
And now I can *really think.
I feel the muscles in my cheeks pull,
But it isn't me,
The voice is controlling the smile that I have on my face.
Well done.
**Now you're mine.

Oil Slick

The world is changing,
I know it is.
I can feel the shifting tide of change,
Pulling me further into the vast ocean
Of new laws,
Freedom
Equality
Justice
And I am proud to be a part of that change.

But alas I fear the sinister forces of evil that lie beneath the tranquil surface of the water
We must be ready with our nets and our spears to capture and dispose of it
**Otherwise it will be an oil slick which will destroy everything we have slowly and painfully forged with our own two hands.

Prisoner

I'm not letting you in,
Not a chance,
Out of luck
I've locked up the doors,
The windows are barred,
I'm sorry, but you're a little bit stuck.

Keep banging all you want,
I can't hear you at all,
I'm too busy living my life,
You won't be the one to make me fall.

Call the cops, that's fine,
But we'll see who gets arrested,
And who ends up in a darkened room,
Interrogated and continuously tested.
I'll be sat with the jury,
Smiling as you try to plead not guilty,
You cry and you beg like an idiot,
But we need people in the world less filthy.

I walk away,
You walk the line,
I'm sat at a bar,
You're behind prison bars,
I'm secure at home
While you're secured in handcuffs.

Yeah.. I don't know what happened. I literally just woke up and started writing haha!
