Other entries that I think deserve a mention:

Under My PillowUnder my pillow is my hope
for all the love I would expect
for all the joy I could accept
and for all the peace I should affect
But when I wake up and uncover
my loved ones ignored me for good
my joyous times never come around
and my peace not even once
So I return to my slumber another time
for all that I can do and pray is for
my tears to remain unseen forever more
once again under my pillow A Heaven Laid In TearsThe angels, beautiful white wings.
Suffering his wrath as they fail to sing.
The cursed beautiful ones, living in fear.
Home is a desolated wasteland, a Heaven Laid In Tears.
The holy chorus is no more.
Their beauty has been ravaged, they are Satan's whores.
Refusal to obey God's holy will.
Bitter contempt on their tounges as the earth falls ill.
They are the reason the world shall end.
They are the reason nature is unable to mend.
Tormented beings, our existence dominated by fear.
Our precious hearts and homes now A Heaven Laid In Tears.
Blood rains down upon our lives,
We are sinners under watchful hallowed eyes.
Closure of existence, no purpose asking why.
Shed a tear, say a prayer.
Take in those last few breaths of precious air.
The angels come down to us, speak a few last words.
All across the world their plea for forgiveness has been heard.
A few shreds of hope still remain.
O lord, please cleanse their souls, wash away the evil stain.
Please forget their reign of fear.
Save us a

ConfidenceMy hurt became a star
That shined right above me, around me
An expanding bright sheen that
Enclosed all spaces.
Underneath my feet is an indistinct glass,
non-transparent in its thickness.
Osmosis. The star filters out
Everything except the bad.
My own brightness fills the room.
In everything I shine through.

Heaven Laid in tears competionSo sorry, so forgotten.
The worlds judgement day.
The Holy books warned you
But you dismissed it all away.
"There are no worries",
"Nothing to fear" You said.
Now there's nothing left,
But the lies you fed.
Fire and brimstone,
Ash and flame...
All because of your wasting,
Again and again.
You should have gone green.
You should have tried.
You should have recycled.
But now there's no where to hide.
You melted the ice caps,
Hunted animals for sport.
Damaged the ozone.
Are you proud of the destruction you've brought?

Like Shattered GlassLike Shattered Glass
She’s sitting alone…
All alone in that chair.
She stares at a door
With an empty-eyed stare.
She’s sick, and she’s lonely,
With no friends to her name.
Her heart, it is hollow;
Her head’s dipped in shame.
Her mouth, two pink lines,
Are tugged down in a frown.
She’s never even left this sad
Excuse for a town.
In the room next to hers
Lays a man in his prime.
If there is something he wants
It could only be time.
Time to be with her now,
‘Til the end of their days.
He has no idea she’s with him,
That it’s in the next room where she stays…
He thought that she’d left him
To die on his own.
He thinks about calling her,
But is too weak to reach the phone.
She wants to get closer,
Hold his hand; say his name…
But she thought he would detest
Even the thought that she came.
Two hearts, now, were beating
One too fast, one too slow,
Until in crept a shadow,
The stench of death, too in tow.
A pain wracked breath

I Wish NotI wish not to walk the earth
But traverse the skies,
To defy all that ever is and was,
And look down upon all that which cries, and laugh
—Yes, laugh down upon the wretched world,
To scrutinize all its ignominious love and hatred,
And howl in incessant amusement,
That I conquered all it had to conquer,
And rejected all it had to claim.

The Theme is 'A Heaven Laid in Tears'.
