but no one cries for me.
I tried cutting myself
but they won't watch me bleed.
Ingesting flesh and bone makes me a cannibal,
just because I'm screaming don't mean I'm sharing.
Or am I a criminal?
You say that I am wrong
but that doesn't mean you're right.
Humming doves are in my chest,
you'll have to break my heart to see them take flight.
Before the world dies at my feet
I will break the sky.
And all the tears that we have cried
will suck back in our eyes.
There is no price tag on my conscience,
my world is evil but american made.
Your eyes have been made empty
like all the promises you gave.
Why do I need anyone else,
when I can break the sky myself? [comments] => 4 [counter] => 199 [topic] => 13 [informant] => FragileStrength [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 12 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Break The Sky

I'm dying day by day
but no one cries for me.
I tried cutting myself
but they won't watch me bleed.
Ingesting flesh and bone makes me a cannibal,

Or am I a criminal?
You say that I am wrong
but that doesn't mean you're right.
Humming doves are in my chest,

Before the world dies at my feet
I will break the sky.
And all the tears that we have cried
will suck back in our eyes.
There is no price tag on my conscience,
my world is evil but american made.
Your eyes have been made empty
like all the promises you gave.
Why do I need anyone else,
when I can break the sky myself?

This has so many levels in it.
Good work here, keep on writing!
The ending is so liberating!
