1. When the Darkness Comes
When the darkness comes, thereâs no escape.
It swallows you whole,
You try and fight,
But itâs just too much.
Your pain goes unnoticed by everyone around you,
They donât hear your cries for help; they donât want to.
When the darkness comes for you, you might surrender.
Youâll embrace the brutal hate around you and succumb to it,
Quietly, slowly, the darkness will surround you,
But now itâs like a protective blanket,
It engulfs you, keeps you warm on the insides and cold on the outside.
When you embrace the darkness, people might notice.
They will see the coldness in your eyes,
But they will torture you anyway.
They are afraid inside, but they wonât show it.
Youâre still their victim, in their eyes.
You deserve it, though they donât know why.
When the darkness starts controlling you, youâll never notice.
You wonât fight back; the dark will protect you.
When the darkness comes, it will bring dark thoughts.
And one day youâll stand up to your tormentors.
Theyâll see the wild anger in your eyes,
Theyâll see the evil and tremble with fear.
When the dark is with you, they have no chance.
You will hear their cries for help and pretend not to notice.
When the darkness comes, revenge is always a dish best served cold.
You smile, but it does not reach your eyes.
The darkness heard your cries for help,
When no one else noticed, and no one else cared.
Now you have the darkness,
And nothing and no one will ever hurt you again.
Youâre cold inside, and cold outside,
But it doesnât matter.
The darkness came.
2. No Evil
No one heard my cry for help,
No one felt my pain,
No one saw the terror in my eyes,
As I hurtled down to Earth,
See no evil,
Speak no evil,
Hear no evil,
Do no evil;
Thatâs what you lied,
Will I haunt your dreams at night?
Will you hear my cries?
Will you hear my moans and groans
From that night I hurtled down to Earth?
See no evil,
Speak no evil,
Hear no evil,
Do no evil;
Thatâs what you learned,
I lay against the cold hard earth,
My head felt weird,
I couldnât move,
And I saw you both approach me.
The two of you,
You looked so tall,
Looming high above me.
You looked at me
And made a face
And turned around
And vomited.
Am I so ugly,
So ugly I made you puke?
All I wanted was to be your friend,
So why did you hate me?
Why did you hate me so much?
See no evil,
Speak no evil,
Hear no evil,
Do no evil;
Thatâs what you forgot.
You wiped your mouths and looked at me
and smiled, cold and mean.
You reapplied your cherry lip gloss
And whirled around and left me there,
Lying on the ground.
Mindy, you always were so nice,
Cass, you were so funny.
I thought you were my BFFs,
So why did you hate me
-Hate me so much?
Was it because I bought that purse you liked?
Was it because the boy you liked wanted me instead?
Mindy, Cass, I hate to ask,
But was it because you were jealous?
See no evil,
Speak no evil,
Hear no evil,
Do no evil;
Thatâs what we learned.
Did you forget that?
Did you forget that when you pushed me
Off that bridge?
3. Deaf
Why canât you hear me?
Have you gone deaf?
Why donât you see me?
Iâm standing right here!
Why are you crying?
Why are you moaning?
Why donât you hear me
Comforting you?
Mother, Iâm hungry!
Canât we make breakfast?
Where are you going,
Looking that sad?
Why are you wearing
Such a black outfit?
Have you gone deaf?
Hey, why are you sobbing?
Mother, Iâm scared â
Why canât you hear me?
Why canât you see me?
Why donât you answer?
Where are you driving?
Whose car is this?
Where is my car?
Why donât we use it?
Mother, hey look!
Thereâs people at church,
And itâs not even Sunday!
Theyâre all wearing blackâŠ
Hey, why are we turning?
This is so odd; everyoneâs here!
My friends and your friends
And our whole family!
Mom, thatâs not niceâ
You sat in a pew
Thatâs already full!
Now where am I
Supposed to sit?
The church is dead silent,
Itâs kinda unnerving.
Who is that guy,
Walking up to the front?
âMary-Ann Lee,â
He is saying right now.
No one is turning
Or looking my way,
Even though he just said
My full name.
Why are you crying?
Why are you sniffing?
Why canât you hear me
Comforting you?
âMary-Ann Lee,â
Repeats the guy in the front,
âMary-Ann Lee; she texted while driving.â
Okay, youâve caught me,
Youâve caught me!
So I texted while driving â
Whatâs the big deal?
Why canât you hear me?
Have you gone deaf?
Iâm trying to explain â
Hey why canât you see me?
Mother, oh mother!
Iâm going insane!
Did he just say,
âMay her soul rest in peaceâ?
Why canât you hear me?
Why canât you hear me?
Do you not answerâŠ
Because I am dead?
4. If I Want To
Donât tell me what to do;
I can do what I want.
Iâm old enough;
I donât need you âguidanceâ
AndâŠ
I will swallow these pills
If I want to,
I will smoke this cigarette
If I feel like it,
I will get bad grades
If I choose to,
I will defy authority,
If I wish to,
ButâŠ
I wonât do no drugs,
I wonât smoke no cigarettes,
I wonât but my skin,
Or get bad grades,
I wonât defy authorityâŠ
âCause I donât want to.
