The One You Don't Know

A subtle gesture soon under attack
As though I am drowning in the lake
Drive through my heart the stake
"In leaves no step had trodden black"**
Far down to Miami from New York City
More like Sarasota but same difference
Even so, I still find it kind of shifty
More like it's a tragic kind of a pity
You don't see me hidden behind the fence
Time comes and goes; crashes into the shore
And yet, you never once ask me about my day
Instead my heart stops, crumbles to the floor
And you never ask me if there is anything more
Than a day shattered, and thrown far away
...And instead of awakening into the light
It's a shame we no longer stop to say, "Hello."
We stumble and fall; losing our step in flight
In the corner of your eye, never noticed in slight
The girl behind the fence that you didn't know

I Didn't Ask

I DIDN'T ASK
Written by ©Diana Jillian 3/18/12


I didn't ask to be
Or maybe I did
If rebirth is true
Guess we'll never know

What exactly is
I see life

Death

Miracles

Something is there

Right?

This can't be it

Can it?

Confused

Depressed

Yet

Hopeful

Something will surface

Or not!

Maybe I want to know
Maybe I don't
The truth
Can help or hurt
Depending on
Which way you go

You Want Me To

YOU WANT ME TO
Written by ©Diana Jillian 3/18/12

You want me to believe
When you lie
Shame me
Guilt me
Guilt others

I'm not a puppet
Nor a robot
Last I checked
I'm human
With emotions
Not your amusement
Not someone to call
When needed

Not a servant
Nor a slave
Like my ancestors were

I will not perish
Will not rust

Think twice
Before using

My Only Friend

Flutter flying across your cheek
Dance for me you will seek
You’ll be lost when I speak
Find you in the howling night
Words of pain I shall keep

The darkness is my only light
I will not keep you just for spite
Though many stars keep shining bright
I shall sleep in my world of dark
This world of mine feels so right

Pain is my only friend around
Keeps me from falling to the ground
