Reality is like a slap on the face.
Life's reminder to you,
That things won't always be
Perfect.
It's like getting out of bed
On a freezing winter morning.
Or getting out of a hot shower
And stepping onto the cold floor.
Reality is even like solitaire.
Losing with only 0 points
After a 100 game winning streak.
Reality is being happy one minute,
Then finding pictures
That remind you of a love now lost.
Like wishing on a star
Only to realize it's a plane.
Reality is like a door.
Open wide one minute,
Then slammed shut in your face the next.
Reality is finding out
You can't live happily ever after
Forever.

What if.....

what if there is no tomorrow? what if there's not even today? what if we're all just looking for the right words to say? what if it's all just stories? what if it's all just lies? what if there is no truth hiding behind their eyes? what if we're all just searching for nothing to find?

Binge Eating Disorder

She curled up into a ball at the foot of her bed; her eyes clasped tightly shut as though protecting herself from the overwhelming sense of guilt spilling from her aching belly. She had no control. It scared her. It was as though whenever she walked into the kitchen a demon would take possession of her body. She couldn’t pass by the fridge without it dragging her forward, pressing her to have just another bite; just another taste of this and a little nibble of that… Of course, it only happened when she was alone. If there was someone else there then the demon dared not show itself. The shame of such lack of control made her steer

The Borderline

Its hard to find love when your heart isn't working correct, and when emotions become a strange non working substance, when you can't feel things the way other people feels them, and when you are told that you are cold and drained from empathy. I yearn for acceptance and someone to love me All I w

Lunch

It is noon-thirty, and you did not eat breakfast except for a cup of microwaved coffee that had too much creamer in it because your muscles ached from not turning in your sleep. It is cold in your bedroom, but colder still in the freezer that holds no hope of an acceptable lunch. You wander to the pantry, hoping against hope that there will be peanut butter, or—wait—tuna! A small can sits under a jar of mandarin oranges your mother bought months ago to make a cake that she hasn't thought about since. The tuna can's label is gold, and the blue mascot smiles out with pride for his product, Gourmet Select. You pick the can up, delighting in its

Strangers

Have you ever wondered What strangers think of you Most of us make judgments Those who don’t are few So many different faces With a million unknown names Each one with a tale to tell Of success, of misfortune, or of shame What separates a stranger From one you truly know You never see the real them Only what they choose to show We could spend our whole life searching For who we want to be I don’t even know who I am How can you say you know me We are strangers to ourselves

Holocaust

Round up the Jews To burn in their masses, Poison them all With the noxious gases. Herd in the flock Like lambs to the slaughter, Spare non their lives Not mother, not daughter. Roll on the production line, Make no waste. Cut hair, take glasses, Process them with haste, Weave cloth from their braids, Melt down all the metal. For an inferior race, We will not settle. ‘Arbeit Macht Frei’ Works makes you free. Now they're lining the chambers With Zyklon B. No use anymore, Too old, too weak. But of their deaths We do not speak. For millions were murdered For one simple reason- To Hitler it felt They were comm

Remember -the Holocaust-

There’s blood stained on these empty streets Ghostly footsteps breathe on me This was a place once full of life But now it has drowned in misery The shattered glass of Kristallnacht Like stars in the sky Sparkle in the black streets around me Like tears of a silenced cry I walk along tainted railroad tracks Wondering what horror has swallowed it It leads me to the train of death A train of memories coldheartedly slashed and split The souls’ cries become tears that flow down my cheeks Too many lives have perished here I run from what I cannot understand Pierced by six million haunted fears Six million of my people cas

Can you say reality check? This was written after I was told a semi-painful thing and was made to realize that some things are not the way I thought they were.
