South African I have not a clue who i am.
Mother is there when I get home from school, I'm happy there, hyper and playing the fool. But as I pull on the handle and turn the key, I feel a sense of dread and fear fill me. I have a secret, a dark one, A secret I've never told anyone. Everyday when I come home, Mother waits till I'm alone, Then she'll hit me with a spoon or shoe, Till I bleed, till I'm black and blue. Dad left us when I was three, Since then all she's done is blame it on me. I'm ugly, stupid, and tarty It was my fault he left us, "You hear that you brat?!", With a duck and a dive, I sometimes manage to swerve, But I know in the end I'm going to, "Get what I deserve". Hospital a few times, "I was playing with my brother", It's one lame excuse after another. One of these days, I'm going to break free, One of these days, I'll be truly happy. But until then I tell no one, I have a secret, I'm not telling anyone

I have a secret
Next time I won’t let you give me that drink And I won’t drink it Next time I won’t let you lead me into a secluded corner And I won’t drink more Next time I won’t let you kiss me, your hands snaking down my side And I won’t kiss back Next time I won’t drunkenly slur "you can come to my house, my mom’s gone" And you won’t come over Next time I won’t let you lead me to the bedroom And we won’t be in there Next time I won’t let you take your clothes off And I won’t take off mine Next time I won’t let you touch me And you won’t touch me Next time I won’t let you push inside And I won’t feel you inside me pushing Next time I won’t cry out in pain And you won’t keep going anyway Next time you won’t be there And I won’t let you inside Inside is mine. Next time you aren’t allowed in

Next time
Paxil to make you happy **** to make you high Nyquil to make you sleep Energy shots to make you active I’m told to feel a certain way Suddenly heartbreak doesn’t feel sad And tears don’t feel salty anymore Love doesn’t feel good at all And pain is something I can’t feel A drug filled world is where I live. Prozac to make you glad Mary Jane to make you rad Atarax to make you tired Dayquil to make you work I’m fumbling in ecstasy Living life sounds make believe My reflection looks old and weary An old soul has more zing than me I can’t get pleasure even from me A drug filled world I where I live Zoloft to make you smile Mushrooms to make you fly Tylenol to make you weak Aleve to make you strong I’m losing my mind There is no strength even in my finger tips My legs search for a firm grip My heart seems to have stopped And my mind can’t control me anymore A drug filled world is where I live

A drug filled world
I take my second big hit The dark room becomes lit It's starting to make me feel good Just like it should I'm confused and I don't care to worry My memories are becoming blurry By the time the joint comes back around I can't get off the ground Starting to loosen up, I'm starting to forget My heart is beating so fast, I'm starting to sweat Can't remember what pill I took Didn't bother to look As long as it takes everything away And eases the pain for today It's my turn again, I cough and choke But I still take another **** I'm so happy it's unreal I can't explain how great I feel So many ridiculous words are spoken My heart no longer feels broken Laughing so hard I begin to cry I can hardly hold my head up high He is no longer swaying from a tree Now nothing can bother me My pulse is really starting to race But at least I can't see his face I can try to quit Or cut down a little bit But this is all I can do to make him go away Because he haunts my mind every second of the day

My escape
Each day I live, the pain consumes What little sanity I have bloomed Like walking in a cloud of fog Falling down, sinking into smog Life just seems grim I think on a whim Interest lost in everything I do But what a life, who really knew? Depressed to a fault, that all I see Death just seems like the only way for me A waste of time, I feel I am But that's its nature, a full mind jam I try and try to ease the pain A fallen effort with no gain Thoughts begin to eat away Makes me want to end it today Uncomfortable around others for the way I feel I pray and wish this all wasn't real Life just seems more like a prison Caged, alone, an abomination risen No one could ever understand Why I would want my death sooner than planned Its not something I want for me But to end my suffering this is what has to be So I write this all as I fall from grace Down to this place, some barren waste I know not how much longer I will last But all I can do, is pray that this will just pass.

Taking It Day By Day
When my desires fail when my wishes end in vain I, a human, my soul feel pain then, my heart is broken, I wail My eyes are like perennial rivers it doesn't matter the seasonal change Flows continuously, as it has no range I feel so lonely, in the world of tears It's the feeling, where my mind topples where my capillaries collapse my limbs, my lips, my muscles shiver in fear, vibrate in pain A stone covers my vocal cord, my voice Who can control my body organs, even I can't! My sense organs are in a frozen state My eyes flow still, without any evaporation Life always deflects in different directions My parents console me, relatives scold me life is a trap from where we can't flee cycle of life keeps rolling, inactivating our actions OH! My Almighty, how terrible this pain is? Who has the strength to hold my broken heart? Who can give me the healing art? Say me.....How can I escape from this?

My desire
Fires ablaze within my eyes, A smile concealing all my lies, Screaming, begging, calling out, A final, frantic, desperate, shout. Scarlet tears drip from each vein, A vehement covet to end this pain, This silver blade, stays by my side, Because all hope inside has died. As each day ends, and darkness draws, The devil toys, with all my flaws, I'm helpless, alone, a worthless mess, A broken child, he must address. I'm tempted when he calls my name, A way out, an escape, an end to shame, To make it feel a lot less real, A deal with the Devil, in blood must I seal. They'll say I died of suicide, But no one knows how much they've lied, It wasn't a rope, a blade, or pills, That broke my soul, and gave me chills. I died inside so long before, To live each day, an endless chore, Pills could not **** what was already dead, A twisted soul, an empty head. In darkness I wait, in silence, alone, Rose-tinted nostalgia, all around me has grown, I beckon the devil, with the key of self-harm, And I open the door for him, with the blood of my arm.

No title
If tonight I die, Who will cry? Strangers with their feigned interest, While those I love have turned away. And if my best isn't good enough, What more can I give? Go ahead--walk away. Just leave me here alone. And if tonight I die, Who will cry? All my strength is drained, With nothing left to give. Drowning in the depths of sorrow, No tears left to cry. A silent voice and distant eyes That no one hears or sees. And if tonight I die, Who will cry?

Tonight
Til she cries no more One day those tears Will be wiped away Her purity violated Left desperate and exhausted She will cry no more Her anguish will be felt Through her silence Her pain will be in the absence of any words She will refuse to be hurt anymore For she has cried her last tear And will not be subjected to the torment Of abuse that you give her Till she cried no more.

Til She Cries No More
Open eyes soon shut again Only to live out a dream Some of the visions are lovely Some of them cause you to scream A vision I hold in my mind A vision of just what may be I pray to the Lord up above That the vision does not come to be I see myself huddled and crying I see crimson that stains where I lay I see my life bleeding before me Please take this vision away Come now to me the goodness I know in my life it is there But just how long should I suffer Will the pain forever be there Answers to questions not answered So onward I slowly must trod Would it be easier to give up And lay down into the sod Yes it would make some things better Yes I would worry no more But I know that there is a reason That God allows me to feel pain evermore
