I love poetry. All literature actually. It's an escape. My grandma once told me: "If you have books, you will never be alone". Trying to stay sane is tough in life. I still haven't figured it out. I'm hanging on though.

Anyone out there?
Can anyone hear me?
Can anyone understand?

Questions a stereotypical depressed kid asks ^
Just to get through a day
The sun will always come up anyway
and cut through none of my masks

Everyone assumes you're ok
Cause you paint on a smile
Hoping nobody sees through it
When all you want is someone to care

It's funny
We pretend we're fine
and want someone to know we're not
We don't tell them

Thats Rock Bottom

When this life makes you make you mad enough to kill
Thats Rock Bottom
When you want something bad enough to steal
Thats Rock Bottom
When you feel like you've had it up to here
Cause you mad enough to scream
But you sad enough to tear

Thats Rock Bottom

when you see rain
what do you think of
is it the pain
or is it the love

you can change the mask
that you always wear
but the real task
is to make a tear

and reveal the inside
pull down the wall
refuse to hide
where you fall

you see, you gotta be real
cut the lies
and just say how you feel
before you say your goodbyes

in the end, it always comes out
you think you know whats right
beyond any doubt
so then you try and fight



but its all too much
and you start to drown
you beg for just a touch
but it only pulls you down

we get by on okay
barely learn to float
forced to stay
outside the boat

so when you see the rain
do you even care
or do you try to stay sane
while life’s not fair
