Unaccepted

Blinded by light they see not who I am
Its blaze, its dazzle engulfs them all
It shines on them with the force of its lies
But the truth deep inside my darkness resides

I yearn to let the darkness out
Let it seep into the minds of those blind fools
Who believe the concealing, deceiving light
Believing only what they want to believe

I cry, I scream to be understood
To bare myself, my soul, my all
Only to be ignored my the mindless crowd
Not accepted for being what I am

Set in their ways they fear the darkness
Unnerved by its mysterious depths
Frightened, to delve into this enigma
Lest they see the demented truth

Hidden in the darkness seethes my soul
A sadist, hurting others to resolve my own hurt
Unable to break free from this ruthless chain
I lie here, alone, unaccepted.

Remember Me

If the fires of hell knock on your door
And the heartless wind blows evermore
Tremble not, my dear girl
Just close your eyes and remember me

If pangs of sorrow wreck your heart
And threaten to break it into countless shards
Cry not, my dear girl
Just close your eyes and remember me

If despair spreads through your very being
And frustration makes you want to scream
Don’t give up, my dear girl
Just close your eyes and remember me

And when the bright rays of joy
Shall suffuse your every bone
And hope shall descend from the sky
And all your troubles are gone

Remember me then my lovely friend
Remember me throughout your days
Whether you laugh, or cry, or roll your eyes
Remember me always.

Nameless

Amidst the crowd she walks unseen

She is nameless, her identity ignored

Unheard is her heart’s lament

And yet she struggles on

She works throughout the insatiable rain

She toils under the grueling sun

Her back is breaking, but the pain

Is incomparable to that of her broken heart

Alone she proceeds along the unending road

They have left her no place to call home

Her tears drip onto her tattered clothes

For her there is no way but onwards

And yet the dismal night passes

And as the gloom lifts before the dawn

The sun comes up on a cloudless sky

Invoking within her the first ray of hope

She smiles, a new day has begun.
