The Rising Sun For An Enigma

Hello. When I was 17 I locked myself in a room with no light or food. I only watched shockumentaries and various controversial documentaries. I have kept these poems for myself for a few years and have decided to share them. These poems capture my adolescent mind. Be kind to yourself. I love you.

The Rising Sun For An Enigma 

  • In a sea of darkness I am found

 

My light is shattered and I am bound
To face these evils all alone 
A place below where it snows 
A single pond where life grows 
If I stare close I see you there
I try so hard to move and bear 
To hold you close and keep you near
But I’m frozen in place forever stuck here

  • Walking through time

 

As the world goes by
The death march starts in my mind

As demons walk and angels fly 
You grab my hand and we begin to cry

As much as you try I will not budge 
My eyes are set on a path for one
Your touch so soft gaze in my soul 

Forgive my sins that is the toll
To set a goal for us to roam
This world together you in my hold 

  • Nowhere to run

Nowhere to turn 
Cornered within let it all burn 
To say I cared would be unique 
Watch it fall beneath my feet 

I hear these voices they call my name 
The static speaks who is to blame 
A tormented mind
Have I gone blind? 
I cannot see so left leave this world behind 

  • I hear voices

 

I hear them clear 
Feel no fear 
For I am here 

I see demons 
There in my mind
We like to talk 
From time to time 

They tell me things
Such evil thoughts
Release the past 
Of what was once forgot 

Release my mind!
From your hold!
There hands like claws 
There skin so cold  

Eat my flesh!
Tear my skin! 
Nothing will release me from this prison within

Lock the doors! 
Throw away the key! 
I cannot escape
From what is me 

 

  • If I had to choose a place to be

 

It would be a mind that is not me 

Rip off my skin
Take out my eyes 
Rip out my spine 
Isn’t this just fine?

Now I cannot walk 
I cannot talk 
I cannot see 
This is the way to be 

Overcome with pain 
Pleases me so 
This mind cannot hurt me
 This is the way to go

It’s focus is healing 
Instead of causing these thoughts 
That make me insane
And cause me to fault 

That cause me to scream! 
This agony! 
This pleases me! 
This mind that is not me!

  • You say your nobody

 

Your special to me 

So then pretend 
To be, to be 
The one for yourself c 
Don’t hurt your mind by

You’ll end up like me lost in time 
Lost in memories
Fading away 

Memories like dust 
Blow away 
So please just pretend just to be
The one you want for you and me 

  • Why is a cactus prickly?

 

Is it in distress? 
Does it hate this world? 
To be alone instead? 

If you were soft would anything change?
Your still you with a mangled frame? 
You’ll still taste quite the same?
Don’t you think it’s worth a change? 

To be so soft and loved by all?
To be gentle and kind smooth and bald 
Or would you like to stay the same?
All alone with your prickly frame  

  • This face so blue

 

With eyes that shine 
My heart is fragile when it’s not mine 
Instead it’s yours for you to use 
Emotions for you to pick and chose 

To mend my heart and mold like clay 
I trust you so, keep my heart a bay
If you chose to use, and abuse
I cannot say what I would do 

Forever yours till the end of time 
In my mind 
Forever mine 

  • Floral day

 

I am astray 
A sea of flowers, I’ve lost my way 
To be with you is yet to be 
These flowers block my way to see 

Etched in this heart, a path to you 
These words I say can’t be construed 
To mean anything less than what I feel
Being left without, too much to deal 

As I walk this lonely path of mine 
I surely hope that I will find 
A place with you, just us two 
For now I’m lost finding you

  • When does time stop?

Does it ever?
Will time move on, continue forever?

It is a question so terrifying 
It makes you fear inevitably dying 

Time will creep from behind to take you away
It makes you decay day by day 

Time is important it must be understood 
All things must end even if they are good  

  • For every cause they will oppose

 

Negativity shows like a patch of snow 
Touch by one, it’s left a mark 
Forever imprinted in winters dark

The darker days 

As moonlight passed 
For am I the cause that they will wrath!
This mark I have forever shown 
My mind a place
Insanity abode 

  • Was there once a time

 

That I find 
I did not fight this mind of mine 
It bends and shapes for where I am 
It creates a plan for which I can 

Pretend to be the one they see 
I curse this outer shell of me! 
It makes me see 
To make me feel 
That I’m myself 

That I am real 

  • The desert sand

So fine in grain 
I wonder who designed these plains?
So dry and dull
A place to mull
Containing nothing and yet so full

Sometimes I feel just like the sand 
Everything around so bleak and bland 
If you decide a closer look 
We appear the same, don’t be mistook 

Simple disguises to appear alike
We appear the same to bring delight
Each one unique 
They are, what I am 

Sometimes I feel just like the sand

  • A memory moment

A time to reflect 
A time to neglect what we must to forget 

To keep us strong and move along
We must go on, to keep life long 

To not fall behind 
Lost in our minds 

We dispose of times 
To keep us fine 

  • A twisted hourglass

 

Pulled and stretched 
Who made this time and put it set 
For longer than things seem to be 
It seems to me I am Intrigued 

Hourglass will change its shape and size 
To fit a place where it thinks time 
Must be a pace fit for itself 
Enjoy yourself and it will melt

Into a shape to speed up time 
I hate this hourglass of mine

  • I dream of going out to war

To see the world for so much more 
To fight against those I do not know 
There names to be written upon a stone 

To see the bodies lay on the land 
There are some things I did not plan 
To see my friends wasted away 
To never see another day 

I wish I never came to this war
So much more than I bargained for 

  • Each day I lay

 

Upon my bed 
Stare at the walls, think in my head
And to myself I start to wonder 

Am I insane?
I lay and ponder 

These thoughts I have so sick and twisted 
Why must I be so wicked?

My past shapes me the way I am 
Almighty curse has set me damned 

A wrongful path that's set off course 
I wish my past had never forced 
Me to be the way I am 
Thorns on my skin
Eyes on my hands 
To see the things I wish to feel 

Like dreams they feel so warm and real 
To touch these things my mind must find 
A reason why not to try 

My emotions wind so set to fly 
Away from this reality 
I think it’s time for me to be 
Simply insane the truth to me 

  • An oceans path

 

Where does it go?
Does it simply flow, where life goes?

With this perplexion I must guess 
An oceans path is nothingness 

With this knowledge known I must go 
Set forth a sail to thee unknown 

  • I saw a man

 

An older one 

I could not help, but think off some 
Things to say if were to meet 

How is it worth this lonely feat?
To die of age, so old and gray? 

I feel it’s not my place to say 
For me to die of age a nay 
I’d rather die right on this day 

  • To be, or not to have?

We trade these things so we may grasp 
A chance to be one, loved by all 

Grow so tall just to then fall 
Cut by those who do oppose 
I don’t propose to be foes 

Forever chase this fantasy 
To be, not to have 
To then be seen 

  • Nothing to compare to be as thick

 

Not even blood 
So course and rich 

To explain just what you mean to me 
You are a friend like family 

As I grow old so will you
Our bond, stronger better than new 

You are the one that I may call 
In case I fall right on the edge 
From mental stress and mended 
By the world around 
I’m on the edge but there you are 
To bring me down 
A helping hand forever found 

There are no words for what you mean to me 
You are my brother, my family 

  • If there was a place for me to go

 

A place that I could call my home 
A place where I may be myself 
A place where worries never dealt 

I have a home inside my head 
Where I would rather be instead 
Where I can roam, far from here 
Where there is nothing to be feared 

I built this place so I may be 
All by myself, my company 

Forever love this place of mine 
I cherish it until the time 
That I must leave and go back where 
I hate the things, surround me there 

  • I wait for you You never come

 

I see you when I start to run 
To go the mile, I do not pace 
To see your face, so full of grace 

When I’m afar I like to daze 
Of how I’d like to spend my days 
Anything for you that I would trade 
To simply have you in my gaze 

But as I’m near you start to fade  
I begin to think I’m in haze 
For what I see cannot be true 
As you turn away from me and you

  • Crawl in my skin

 

Take over my mind
Make me see demons, that are mine 

The ones I chose, bear not see 
They are who I am, apart of me 

Where are the angels, am I not kind?
They say are nun, so I abide 
 
To face the truth, these demons of mine 
They crawl around and love to hide 

Inside the walls 
Under my bed 

They mess with things inside my head 
Cause me dread, hope to be dead 
Conceal these thoughts inside instead 

To not face these demons that are mine 
Keep going instead and hope they find 
A reason to then set me free 
And hope an angel comes to me 

  • What makes you I?

If you tried could you find 
A face to use to then be me 
Change the course of reality 

Bend time and space to personate 
Forget your fate just to chase 
A fantasy of being me 
I am the me you’ll never be 

Forget the poem forget the rhyme 
I’m tired of the constant times 
Of people blind to lost to see 

Seeking a dream that will not be

To change a face, put up chase 
To run from it, and then persuade 
Themselves that fate will not peruse
To then consume 
You will be you!

  • Warm fuzzy blankets

   

Drape you in such 
Keep you warm when winters much 
To bear alone without this warmth 
Forever mine inside my clutch 

I feel your warmth as you feel mine 
I hold you close and forget time 
Will move on as my whole world stops 
With you so close I feel that not

Only I do think of this 
I look at you and see that it 
Is a moment that we share 
As we hold each other close and near 

  • In a valley of paradise

 

where time does not exist 
the trees fall and open an abyss
where the monster sleeps and cries are unheard 
Walk forward fallen rise again once more 
In a chamber of secrets lies are kept
Deep below the ocean depths 
The need to see as the darkness crept 
Unchain thee! The monster said 
A sea of silence a peaceful breeze stops 
Release the locks of a monster once forgot 
When hate and love stops and pureness is killed
A new being is born from the guild 
With eyes that darken 
a soul forgotten 
Time begins once more to allow the past to rot

  • Many eyes to see

See the birds and the trees 
See the world for what it is and can be
See your stance 
See your glance 
See the way you move your hands 
The way you speak 
The way you sound 
If I stare too hard I’ll see a shadow on the ground 
Invisible, the person who was once there
I’ve stared too hard and seen what I’ve seen
disinterest to me the way things should be
Oh my these eyes are a curse to me!

  • Leave with a purpose

 

Never to return 
I will leave you alone 
Watch your world burn 
As I sit in this silence,
Laugh at your failures cry at your prowess 
Laugh at your sadness your wins I will not be there 
Alone you shall be 
As I am trapped here! 
As the silence becomes voices you should join me down here! 
My thorns are prickly so beware! 
In this thick forest no answers can be found 
You are now alone, and your hatred is now my down

  • A place below

 

A place with snow 
A place covered in ice an untouched paradise 
For those who seek they shall receive 
A visit from him to take you there 
A paradise once sought is despair 
Evil lurks here
Now you are there
A blissful place where agony awaits 
You cannot leave this forbidden place

  • To be what I must become

 

I cannot see the morning sun 

No interactions from this world 
For this is I must I endure 

To see much I than eyes of thee 
I must endure depravity 

For this the world that I must see 
I must go through insanity 

  • This place that I

 

Have now reside 
Is not like any other time 

That I have been held within 
Inside this place that I am in 
Inside my mind, who am I? 
A person I have never been 

I am depraved I now decay 

Inside my head I lay at bay 
Blind by the times I’ve been astray 
This world is fake it has been made 
Up by the people who never seen 
The light of day and have been deceived 

Received the need to then be pleased 
To see the world for all their needs 

  • A straight edge

 

Sharp for thy skin 
Let me peel you from within 

Let my words pierce through your mind 
Drive you insane to make you find 

A place in time where you have been
Overcome of flaws and full of sins 

Oh god the things that you have done! 
They make you what you have become 

You push them down and try you might 
Put up a fight when days are bright 

But darkness likes to seep inside 
Will take you over you and I 

  • For is death something misconstrued

 

Does it define me and you 
When we perish what will we be?
For is death something you and me 
Cannot define in simple terms 
No way we turn 
We have to learn 
What may come after in this life 
We’ll never know till death of thy
