<p><span id="more-273"></span></p>
<p>The light has turned to darkness<br />
The darkness, light<br />
It seems these thoughts won’t end<br />
Until the night<br />
Everything I loved<br />
Was in my sight<br />
But I lacked the strength<br />
I lacked the might<br />
The words I formed were perfect<br />
Oh, so right<br />
I clap my hands and scream<br />
DY-NO-MITE!!</p>
<p>Humor is my anti-drug? </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The other day I had stayed up for around 35 hours and started to randomly type some stuff. Felt a bit down, but I pulled out something that was a typical AB rhyme scheme. I admit that I&#8217;m not that good at this stuff, so ya. I already know. <span id="more-249"></span></p>
<p>This lack of sleep<br />
Makes shallow seem deep<br />
The pain in my eyes<br />
can&#8217;t make up for the lies<br />
I told to myself<br />
I&#8217;ll burn in this hell<br />
You entered my life<br />
Left nothing but strife<br />
Like the day without sun<br />
I&#8217;m nothing without the one<br />
who can bring me light<br />
I can no longer fight</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I figured I&#8217;d been working on the sites quite a lot recently, so I&#8217;m going to post some poetry I wrote on 11/15/09 in order to keep making posts and relieve some stress I guess. Not sure why depressing poetry relieves stress for me, but whatever. </p>
<p>This was an interesting one. I was going through a slight emotional breakdown and I had, for the first time in my life, smoked a pack of cigarettes in one day. I bought the pack at 3am and before 3am the next day, it was gone. It was a crazy &#8220;Wtf?&#8221; moment. I had already thought that smoking was a way to kill yourself without actually having the ability to go through with it, so I had to go with it when I started to write this flow down. Again, my stuff tends to be pretty depressing, but it&#8217;s when I&#8217;m down that I&#8217;m most inspired to write things like poems. Well, enjoy. </p>
<p><span id="more-138"></span></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t eat<br />
I don&#8217;t sleep<br />
Almost a pack every day<br />
if only to numb the pain<br />
that won&#8217;t go away<br />
I cared<br />
I loved<br />
I tried every way<br />
if only to have you around<br />
one more day<br />
You rejected<br />
You scorned<br />
Despite how I tried<br />
it always leads me<br />
to my slow suicide<br />
with a pack every day<br />
to numb this pain I feel<br />
I kill myself slowly<br />
with this self hate<br />
I stood by your side<br />
whether we laughed or cried<br />
and still I stay and wait<br />
I don&#8217;t know what to do<br />
I should walk away<br />
but no matter what I try<br />
I still stay<br />
I&#8217;ve always been truthful<br />
never have I lied<br />
and you still walk away<br />
leaving me with this slow suicide<br />
with almost a pack every day<br />
the loneliness burns me<br />
knowing you don&#8217;t even care<br />
that somebody like me<br />
can be worried for you<br />
despite all the pain and despair<br />
It makes me hate you<br />
but I hate myself more<br />
knowing I can&#8217;t walk out<br />
and I stand by your side<br />
without a chance for myself<br />
and as you walk away<br />
I turn to my slow suicide<br />
with almost a pack every day<br />
I sit alone to think<br />
wondering why I&#8217;m still here<br />
and as I see that hate build<br />
it makes my heart sink<br />
the feelings I had for you<br />
thrown to the floor<br />
worthless for somebody with it all<br />
it takes almost no time before I fall<br />
back into my slow suicide<br />
with almost a pack every day<br />
I wish that I could say<br />
I hate you<br />
but I love you more<br />
I love you<br />
but I hate myself more</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Again, most of my stuff tends to be DEPRESSING. It comes from me being unhappy emotionally and because of my inability to appreciate the things I actually DO have compared to the things that I want. I don&#8217;t think I want that much, but it seems to be a pretty fucking tall order. I don&#8217;t think that I&#8217;m some sort of real poet, but I like to write what comes to my mind. Just what comes to me and how I&#8217;m feeling at the moment. Most of it doesn&#8217;t have much of a pattern or style other than whiny. This is from 12/17/09. I sort of wish I had all of my stuff dated, but whatever. At least this stuff has a date. Well, here&#8217;s another piece of what could laughably be called poetry I guess. Enjoy.<span id="more-97"></span></p>
<p>You walk out the door<br />
I&#8217;m longing for more<br />
but the only thing left is this empty soul<br />
what should have brought us together<br />
only tore us apart<br />
Nothing is left but my broken heart<br />
Your footsteps, they echo as you walk away<br />
I only wish that for one more day<br />
We could be happy, in our little home<br />
But it&#8217;s not what you wanted and left me alone<br />
These walls are a prison and I want out<br />
You left me with nothing but tears on my face<br />
I hate myself for wanting you back<br />
You brought me the only joy I had in my life<br />
To you it meant nothing, for me, the world<br />
This life has torn me apart<br />
I knew it would kill me from the start<br />
My love was the only sure thing<br />
in this confused and unsure world<br />
You threw it back in my face<br />
No second thought crossing your mind<br />
I thought you were the one<br />
I figured this would be it<br />
You turned away with a big fuck you<br />
Now I&#8217;m all alone wanting to die<br />
This life had meaning<br />
This life had you<br />
Now I&#8217;m rotting away</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, so this is one that I wrote back on 12/14/09, which I know isn&#8217;t that long ago, but it&#8217;s still a weird look back. It&#8217;s only been a month and a half since I wrote it in a free flow, but enough time has passed that I&#8217;m an almost completely different person. I&#8217;m also never been one to name my &#8220;work&#8221;, but I don&#8217;t want to come off as some sort of snob to think I could pull something like Shakespeare and not have proper titles and simply say &#8216;Poem 9&#8242; or whatever. Putting them on this site will give me a chance to finally name some of my stuff like this one. It&#8217;s a fairly dark one, so I hope you&#8217;re in for some anger after the jump. <span id="more-24"></span></p>
<p>Death, darkness, the light disappears.<br />
It&#8217;s nothing but a memory now<br />
Fuck this place and all that it brings<br />
Where nothing but hate can reside</p>
<p>My heart and true feelings wasted on you<br />
This life with no fucking meaning<br />
Living a hollow life<br />
Sadness consuming my thoughts</p>
<p>This feeling of despair in my heart<br />
burning a hole deeper into my core<br />
Letting me know that no matter what I do<br />
I will always fucking lose</p>
<p>Let this fucking world burn<br />
Set it ablaze with it&#8217;s own putrid waste<br />
Lies, deception, and bullshit is all you are<br />
You can rot in hell, you bitch</p>
<p>Let my tears be your fucking reminder<br />
You&#8217;ll never find another like me<br />
Inconsiderate bitch<br />
Unappreciative whore</p>
<p>Why am I always the one to lose?<br />
You&#8217;ll never know love again<br />
Once you&#8217;re hurt, you want to hurt<br />
and it brings me nothing but hate</p>
<p>My hate for you grows stronger every day<br />
Alongside my love<br />
The growing contradiction building on<br />
Tearing my mind and soul apart</p>
<p>Why did I stay here so long?<br />
Why couldn&#8217;t I leave?<br />
What the fuck is wrong with me?<br />
Was I wrong to believe?</p>
<p>Love was supposed to be real<br />
It&#8217;s nothing but fucking trash.<br />
The hate burning in my eyes<br />
I see through your bullshit disguise</p>
<p>You never felt anything<br />
Your life is fucking numb.<br />
I hope your life is fucking worth it.<br />
I don&#8217;t want to play my part anymore</p>
<p>I&#8217;m done being your tool<br />
I&#8217;m done being your bitch.<br />
You can just fuck yourself<br />
Your eyes will never open to see</p>
<p>Blind to my light<br />
Blind to the world<br />
Blind to the truth<br />
Fuck your narrow minded view</p>
<p>As the clock keeps spinning<br />
My mind begins to slow<br />
Letting the darkness consume me<br />
I want to get out.</p>
<p>Get me out of this hell&#8230;</p>
<p>&#8212;-</p>
<p>Ya. I have some issues that I&#8217;m should be working out, but I&#8217;m doing self therapy by working on websites. Hopefully these sites work. <img src='http://thekittyman.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well&#8230; I was at work and this just popped in my head and I couldn&#8217;t put down the pen (unless obligated to due to&#8230; you know&#8230; work.) and I think it came out pretty good. I have a beat and everything in my head, but since I&#8217;m not musically talented, I&#8217;ll just post what I have written. Poem after the jump. <span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>Just another day<br />
at that minimum wage<br />
place on a smile<br />
just for a while<br />
nobody knows<br />
it&#8217;s just how I flow<br />
I live day by day<br />
but who lives this way<br />
heartache and sorrow<br />
put off till the morrow<br />
the pain on my face<br />
I can&#8217;t stand this place<br />
I wait for the time<br />
it&#8217;s just me and my rhymes<br />
it fills me with hate<br />
each second I wait<br />
one day the turmoil<br />
will return me to soil<br />
but each day I wake<br />
is not a mistake<br />
God keeps me alive<br />
I&#8217;ll continue to strive<br />
and one day you&#8217;ll see<br />
it should&#8217;ve been me<br />
Living day to day<br />
tryin to find a way<br />
to get out of here<br />
there&#8217;s nothing left to fear<br />
another day, another buck<br />
if you die, who gives a fuck<br />
keep your head up high<br />
so people know the reason why<br />
we continue to fight<br />
till one day we see the light<br />
gotta push for the best<br />
leave behind the rest</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>and i was going to finish it, but my shift ended, so it&#8217;s sort of incomplete. I think it&#8217;s pretty good. I&#8217;m a fan of leaving some of my poetry unfinished. I see poetry as moments in time. Something that comes to you and it flows through you. Anybody can manufacture poetry, but this is different for me. It&#8217;s why I tend not to have a set style or anything. Anyway. I like it and I hope you like it too. </p>
