American My poems all come from the moment. I do not think about what I write, I just go with the flow of what I am feeling. I don't use "correct" poem format, or care if people think its bad. My poems are a way for me to express myself and nothing more.
*This is it The last drive The last song The last time I will fail For my beginning or end The final goodbye I can't go back any further I'm at the edge of the cliff and everything is pushing me forward I can't scream any louder No one is coming Its just me I have to decided Do I push back or fall forward The problems are many Building everything but me The world takes on a new light even in the darkness of night Does this final glimmer of hope have enough to push me back Enough to push everything back Or is this the story of someone who found peace off the cliff*

Shame
*Have you ever had everything right in front of you   Then watched it get wrenched away from you as your fingers grip tight trying to hang on      Leaving nothing but a black void in you Have you ever filled yourself with hate and depression   Feeling of hopelessness and broken dreams      The belief that everything is always going to turn against you, or leave you Have you ever stared at the dark sky wondering what keeps you going   Wishing someone would take you away or end the searing pain inside you      Wondering if anyone would even miss you or care Have you ever warn a fake smile so long you forget what a real one feels like   Exhausting yourself trying to keep others from knowing how you feel     Fearing that someone might see through your mask of darkness       Fearing that someone might make you smile for real and then leave you         Fearing that everything will start working out again just in time to all fall back apart           Fearing that nothing is ever going to make you happy             Fearing that no one is ever going to understand you or make you happy Have you ever felt like cutting yourself just so you didn't feel that deep empty pain if only for  a moment   Thinking why can't I just be happy     Why can't everything just work out for me Have you ever thought tomorrow was going to be the day you ended your life long torment   Feeling like you might take the razor a little deeper tomorrow    Feeling like you have given it your all and you have nothing left Have you ever felt like you were all alone in your pain   Like you had no one who could truly understand you    Thinking you were just weak and pathetic      Been to afraid to talk out of fear of what people would say or think        Worried about how your friends or family would feel You are not alone   You are not pathetic or weak     You are not broken beyond repair       Tomorrow doesn't need to be your last day         You don't have to cut to make that pain go away           You won't always lose everything even if it feels like             You are not alone               You are not forgotten or replaceable                 You can stand back on your feet                   You will get through everything even when it seems impossible                     You will be understood by the people who care about you                       You are not stupid for feeling depressed about any of it                         You are strong enough to keep pushing                           You will smile again and feel the joy of laughter                             You will look back at your life someday and be happy you didn't give up                               You need to let people in and talk                                 You do need to express yourself because nobody can do it better                                   You will never be judge by people who truly matter or care                                     You can get through this*

*Depression is not a 1st world problem it is not a rich or poor person problem it's not something that will just go away as you get older or something you are immune to when you are younger depression is not something that can be wished or willed away depression is not a problem that only the weak or strong experience it is not bound by race or *** it is not something you can run away from depression is not something you can lock away and forget about depression won't leave you alone at night it's not something that cares who your friends with or who you know it doesn't care if you're sick or healthy depression is something felt by all* -Jeffrey Sutter

Depression
*I'm done with the games I'm done with this pain I won't hide behind my barricaded door I won't stand here and just let my voice go unheard If I have to scream then i'll scream I'll scream till the world shakes apart I'll scream till someone finally looks at me I won't go back into the dark I won't be pushed back anymore I won't be stopped or shut down anymore If I have to move you then I'll move you I can't be turned away anymore I can't fix the broken pieces anymore My hands have been cut to shreds and I just can't grip any longer I can't back up anymore The walls are right behind me and I'm just screaming on my knees Screaming that someone will just look at me Screaming that someone will stick out a hand I'm on my knees just screaming Screaming for a hand to grip Please just listen to me Just listen to what I have to say Please just don't let me go unheard Don't let the world drowned me out I have something to say I have something that needs to be heard I won't scream forever but I'm screaming now Just don't let my voice fall on deaf ears Just listen to me Listen to me while I'm still screaming Listen to me while I still have breath in these lungs Listen while I still have something to say* -Jeffrey Sutter

Just Listen
*I tear it out because I don't need it anymore I don't want to play anymore I don't want to stand and fight anymore I can't take anymore I have no tears anymore I'm done and its over I'm tired of shaking I'm tired of waking up and not knowing I'm tired of stuffing it all inside There's no room left anymore There's no fight left anymore The war is over and i'm not sure who's the winner I can't do this anymore* -Jeffrey Sutter

*Divested self worth and shattered dreams my heart bleeds to feed the screaming voices in hopes that my blood will purge them from my mind and desecrate my thoughts of a life long lost* - Jeffrey Sutter

*Life  is an ever ending mystery Life is cruel and will kick you when your down Life doesn't care who you are or who you know Life doesn't stop and wait for you to ketch up Life will speed right past you if you waste it Life will make you wish you never had it to begin with Life can scar you deeper than any knife can Life can make you want to give up But Life can also bring joy Life is what you fight to keep Life is the greatest gift you can give Life is always worth keeping Don't ever give up on Life* -Jeffrey Sutter

Life
*Another day passes as he wishes he had been born differently Another day he puts on clothes he doesn't like Another day he looks into the mirror and feels nothing but pain and sadness Another day he wastes his breath praying to god to change him Another day he walks through the mall and wishes he could change his body Another lie told to a friend when asked if he is okay Another night spent dreaming about the life he feels he should be living Another week spent feeling completely alone Another year spent living the same life A life he feels deep in his heart is the wrong one.*- Jeffrey Sutter

*He looks at the empty bottle he has just fished off He punches the wall and tells himself this is the last time He knows this is the same thing he told himself yesterday but refuses to admit he has a problem His pain has been replaced by the feeling of numbness and confusion He just sits and waits for the day the lights finally shut off He thinks to himself maybe then I will finally find happiness.* -Jeffrey Sutter

*Another night spent shaking in the cold waiting for the warmth of love to warm him Another day spent waiting for love to flow through his heart             Another week spent crying in the shadows cast by his broken soul Another month spent walking along the shattered edges of his world Another unfathomable year spent in a desolate life Another lonely boy looking for nothing more than for someone to appreciate his existence* -Jeffrey Sutter
