Alicia Rose Poems

-'Arbeit Macht Frei' is German for: 'Work Will Get You Free'-

I sit here in this dark corner
Watching the shadows move across the ceiling
...

Never again, do I want to be hurt
Never again, will I wear this shirt
Never again, will I speak to you
Never again, why yes it's true!
...

Much of the time
He spends watching
Wondering why they act this way
He prays to God
...

Have you seen the pain in her eyes?
Have ever heard her stop and cry?
Have you ever had a crazy dream?
Have you ever been down on your knees?
...

I could not stop the night
Or the demons within
Whom keep me free from anger
And cleanse me of my sins
...

Everyone says
They want to blow their heads off
Everyone complains
That their life is going nowhere
...

Blood and s**t
Sweat and tears
It's time to face
All your fears
...

Will you reach out your hand
When I begin to fall
Will you leave me there wondering:
Did you love me at all
...

I feel the blood upon my arm
All these voices in my head
Won't seem to go away
It's a secret
...

There are days I remember
Days I regret
But there's one day, that I'll never forget
I tried so hard
...
