running through dark damp corridors
dress swagging behind
I hear the black lace ripping on invisible snags
I hear a sound, run towards it!
Light flashes, i run faster
excitement runs through me as I realise I could soon be free
bare feet in cold water up to my ankles
I reach the light, then bars slam down.
I slump to the ground, fingers wrapped around the cold Iron.
tears of disappointment and despair make clean tracks down my sooty face
hair all a mess
then I hear them coming
the babble of the crowd, come with their sticks to poke stare and laugh.
this is just a game to them but what about me?!
this isn't fair let me go
let me see what you see,
let me be clean
let me get lost among the trees with the birds,butterflies and bees.
let me breathe fresh air and drink running water
let me suffer no longer, some one help me!
let me ware fine delicate clean clothes
let me appear like you on the outside
but I know you wont because you'll never change
what separates us is I have compassion and love
and you are grounded by your greed and contempt
and when I die because of your callousness
I'll be free to live happy and you'll spend eternity in purgatory.

OW! and just as I was gonna post some stuff too! *sob*
I wrote thes on the train dont now why tho had no inspiration what so ever. just put the pen to the paper and words wrote themselves!
Individual inner self
stair ways to nowhere
broken glass falling from shelves
standing in the spot light i stare
glaring back at myself
what is this I see?
the girl I am or want to be?
what wretched creature stands stark before me?
this being that just wants to flee!
I reach out but its too late
she's started running, straight to her fate!
stumbling on the fallen, broken glass
but doesnt flinch, picks herself up and carries on as if it was just grass
what madness is this?
why do I run from myslef?
what qualities do I not possess?
who can myself help?
flashing lights, falling rain
here the tears fall again
still shes running, up the stairs
how can I make her see, she is me?
I try to follow but am held back
what can I do?
I call out "STOP!"
she stops, turns, smiles and slowly starts back

this is what a wrote a few days ago and its is absolute shite
another shitty birthday, just like last year!
no laughing and no beer.
sitting in the house on my own.
yeah tell me again why am I here?
Oh yeah! I took the day off work especially to spend with you,
my family and all you've done is avoid me like the plague!
why do I bother?
after all you ignore me for the rest of the year,
why should one day be any different
after all you only gave birth to me!
I dont know why I care,
I'm used to being forgotten.

through and through your voice warms me.
welcoming as the dawning sun
stars in the night sky
clarity in your blinking eyes
I shed happy tears
as you wipe them away you ask "why?"
I cant explain but you know why all the same.
I'm safe with you, comforted, at peace
you hold a special place in my heart
and its not just because you make me laugh.
now with you I look ahead
and not see blackness but a future instead
a happy life shared with you full of love.
thankyou for lightening my heart.
