Chris Newlash Poems

Angel statues frozen in time,
As you hear a wedding chime,
Hearing the preacher mumble,
Faces of the statue crumble.
...

Take my own life end it all.
Will you catch me when I fall?
On my hand and knees I crawl.
No longer standing big and tall.
...

Wind me up and watch me go,
Play me like a piano,
Touch and play every key,
Press down the ivory.
...

I'm sane, I'm insane,
I'm extra, I'm plain,
I'm this, I'm that,
I'm skinny, I'm fat,
...

Shutup I can't listen anymore.
Be quiet, don't slam the door.
So many times, I have said:
'Stop, screaming, voices in my head'
...

Scare Crow, Mad Hatter,
McDonald's, getting fatter,
Pierced nipples, pink hair,
World ending, don't care,
...

Bouncing like a ball.
The porcelain doll.
As she starts to fall.
Down with her came all.
...

As we kiss,
And our eyes meet.
A look of somthing,
Lost but sweet.
...

It's hard to say when I'll leave all I love behind...
It's hard to help you understand when words I still can't find.
It's hard to listen to all the voices who by me have stayed.
It's hard to forget the voice screaming at me that I've betrayed.
...
