My Dying Wish
Give the florist a break
Don't worry about a mass
I don't expect anyone to show.
No, need for condolences
Keep your empty words
I don't expect anyone to know.
My dying wish is to be forgotten
A lot like I was alive
I have no expectation, so you cannot fail
My life was an endless wanting
For people who would not be there
I wanted my mother but, she was cold
I wanted my children but, they took a watery exit
I wanted my love but, he has better things
I wanted myself but, I had vacated the premises.
So, do not worry about a funeral
Just dump me in the nearest ditch
I don't expect anyone to care.

A Living Death
Gently down the street
I let the blade take control
How much do I have to bleed?
Until I reach my goal
Death is what I’m getting at
High is what I feel
So many people I’ve hurt in life
Time to let them heal
I’ll say goodbye in a letter
I’ll seal it with a kiss
Tell them to visit my grave each month
And speak of what I miss
My friends can talk about school
And who they took to prom
My sister can speak of crushes
And my father about my mom
Finally my mind is darkening
I feel a weird type shiver
My body’s waving back and forth
Like the flow of a steady river
My eyes I feel wide open
But still nothing is in sight
39Journal out loud
I begin to think and worry
And then I see this light
I hear a deepened voice
Saying look at what you’ve done
I see my body on my bed
Still releasing blood
My moms then at the door
Calling for the meds
I’m just looking down on them
Listening to what is said
Finally they get there
They’re rushing into my place
Putting me on a bed of theirs My death they begin to trace Couldn’t this be over?
Why am I watching myself die
It was enough to feel the pain
But to see my loved ones cry
Burst into the hospital doors
People begin to stare
Could this possibly be I was loved Why was I so un-fair?
To leave my family scared
Wounds around their heart
I wish I was given a second chance
40 Jay and Stormy
I want another start
But wait I don’t deserve one For this is what I chose
My heart begins to beat
And suddenly I arose
There I am lying down
A smile appears on my face
Feeling my family’s love again Again life I taste
I’m surrounded with their hugs
I’m suffocated inside
Although I cannot breathe
This time I do not mind
I was not happy before
But my new life goal is to strive
I’m not perfect and either is home I’m just thankful I’m alive . . . Stormy
I let the blade take control
How much do I have to bleed?
Until I reach my goal
Death is what I’m getting at
High is what I feel
So many people I’ve hurt in life

Stone
As all is lost
And water fl ows
As the eyes sparkle And loves lost
As all is darkened
And the air stiffens
All is gone
And forgotten
Her heart slows
Her mind still looking
At his image
As he walks away
He, her soul mate
As the water fl ows
Down her cheeks
And out her sparkling eyes
She turns to stone
And will not awaken Until her love is reunited.
~jay
This is an interesting poem from a young girl who is probably experiencing her first breakup.

Untitled 5
Hatred buried in my soul
DARKNESS has taken OVER
What am I suppose to do
I do not know
For I am lost
In a little world One so different and cold.
People never caring
For one another
People killing
Each other
Hatred spreading
Every where
God is lost
LOVE is GONE
The DEVIL RULES
And war wins
To when it ENDS
I do not know
To when it HAPPENED
I can not say
For EVIL has always
Been LURKING
But the ENDING Has CHANGED.

Tell Me
Darkness drowned me Enclosed me
And will never leave me
Darkness took away my ability
To tell good from evil Love from fright And all else.
Darkness made my decisions
And at fi rst I did not fi ght
But now I see
Of the horror that it’s caused me and my family.
So come explain to me
How to fi ght it off Because honey I’m trying.
But everything is going wrong
And I am still drowning
From the weight that was Put on me long ago.
So tell me
Preppy
How I can get
Some of you
Because I can’t fi ght
Off this evil no more
So tell me weird freak
How I am suppose to change When you’re walking away.

Just one step
The edge is so close
Just one step, a baby step
And I can be rid of this world and its bonds
That keeps me from me, to live and be free.
The cliff so steep
Just one step
And I am free from the chains
This twisted life and the “rules” of society.
Just one step, a baby step
And I can fly into a new world
Where everyone can be them
Without the worries of reprimand
The edge so close
The cliff so steep
Just one step, a baby step.

Subsiding Smiles
I’m
losing my sanity mom, do you still see me
These
subsiding smiles are signs of bleeding
You’re
not you anymore to regretting I am bound
I’m
still lost mom, by you I have not been found
Slowly
I can tell mom, you’re hurting deep inside
Laughing
is all I’ve got to cover the tears I’ve cried
I
think I am forgetting how it feels to show true joy
You
used to make me stronger mom, and now you just destroy
You’re
in the other room mom, sick out your head
I’m
just in here thinking how I would be better off dead
I
wish you took the time to look upon my eyes
Is
that to much to ask mom? I just want you to hear my cries
Darkening
my thoughts mom, to a point they should not reach
Lessons
of a broken soul, but I’m missing you to teach
Living
on this earth but going through a hell
No
more future mom, only memories to tell
Hopefully
you’ll change mom, back to what is you
I
can’t stand the pressure, soon it will get through
All
I want is for you to seethe place in my heart that died
Without
you mom there’s nothing, that’s where my life subsides

These walls
These
walls are getting closer
As
I continue to scream
I
can feel the pain and cold
So
I know it’s not a dream
I’m
sitting in a corner
With
no one to heal my heart
The
door is not there any more
So
there’s no way I could part
My
windows are simply fading
I
know it’s my eyes
Because
every time I pinch myself
I
let out some more cries
Where
were all my friends?
When
I needed them the most
It
feels like I’m not here anymore
As
if I was a lost ghost
All
the hurt I caused to you
I
guess it’s coming back
All
the years I made you cry
Because
of the things I lack
I
guess it’s not enough
Just
being able to see
Because I thought I try my best
The
walls are closing in on me.
Stormy
