I wear my scars proudly Because they're a reminder of someone who I used to be But no longer am

Scars
Go ahead, pick your poison The thought races through my mind It burns a hole in my brain I just want to get it over with I close my eyes and pick up the first thing I feel A gun, I bring it to my head and pull the trigger as quickly as I can... Nothing... I throw it down, picking up the next thing A bottle of pills, I try and down more than enough, but they won't go down... I throw them away too I take the blade by my bed stand and I go to cut...but I can't bring it closer... I close my eyes and I let the tears flow from my eyes He wants me to stay...but I just want to be with him

Weapon of Choice
I once had a friend who when we always used to play, played dead I used to think it was really funny, those memories stay in my head We would run around laughing Where we would always be catching Each other, trying to the other I know that there will never be another One day, while I was waiting for him to come over I received the news... And I still tell myself to this day... He's just playing dead...

Playing Dead
As a little kid, I was afraid of the monsters that were under my bed Now they've come from under my bed, and into my head Burying themselves, deep inside My thoughts Buried so deep that they'll never be caught My mind has changed, in a way that no one understands I'm trying to pull my heart out with my hand Because it aches and it burns me, they want it out All they want I'd for me to rip it out.

Monsters
Light the candle, a burning flame I know it's dire, my time today I can't blow it out Only take it about Everywhere I go, it's still haunting me These lit candles Are by their handles In the hands On the idle lands Of the people, walking on the city streets But here I sit, counting away The hours, the seconds, the days I'm left alone Stuck in this home Please just leave me alone, I'm too sick to go on I'm losing control, I'm losing my sleep Sometimes I wake, standing on my feet In dark a room, and I don't know where Where I am, I'm standing right there But it still haunts me in the back of my mind

Candles
10. I wake up in the morning, my door still locked from the night before Where I hid myself from the world. 9. Standing at the bus stop, hoping no one notices the cuts on my wrists or my red, blood shot eyes. 8. Roaming the halls I generally tried to avoid them, but they always seem to find me, again, and again. 7. Lunch is the same as always, I'm sitting alone, hoping someone notices me...all I need is a friend. 6. The bus ride home is full of more taunting...all because I love someone of the same gender... 5. I finally get home, I do my normal routine, go upstairs to my room, lock the door, and get out my razor. 4. I'll spend about an hour or so, making the same motions over and over again, thinking...I can't change who I am... 3. My mom comes home and says that she is starting dinner, I tell her okay, it'll be about an hour. 2. After dinner I read the texts that the others from school sent me...all the same...mean...discrimination against me... 1. I'm in my closet...with the chair...and the rope I took from the garage...I'm crying at the note I just left at my door...I go and I knock the chair from under my.

Make It Stop
It's another late night My mind is bein thrown into turmoil Shower thoughts can bring up the past What would have happened if I had done this? What would have happened if they did that? Shower thoughts can haunt you You don't want to think about those thoughts But the shower drags you into a false sense of hope That nothing bad will happen When in the end, you always get out, changed Changed from what could have happened to you or someone you cared about If only you had done something else But instead, they turn into shower thoughts Haunting and preying on your memory

Shower Thoughts
I sit in the front row, very first seat I'm shaking and sweating, I'm trembling with heat A heat in my face, that's making me run cold As hot tears stream down my face, leaving lines so bold I try not to make a sound, but bursting out is impossible For I cannot help, my my nervous despair But it was all so sudden Yet, no one seemed to care So with everyone sitting there, quiet, and silent I sat there, crying, so violent I didn't want to be there, I wanted to go home Where I could sit and cry, by myself, alone

Funeral
People say Spring flowers, bring May showers But those showers bring something even more beautiful The Sun, the Moon, starry nights, and beautiful flowers Flowers that I would only ever pick for you, my dear No other person deserves the beauty that comes from those May showers than you do And even though flowers last only for what seems like a second There is a permanent memory that you will always have Of this moment, between you, me, and these Spring flowers

Spring Flowers
She makes me feel the way I should feel all the time... Happy No one else can do that... Not presents, holidays, days off from school... She's the only thing that can make me... Happy Without her I can't do a thing... Nothing will make me... Happy Only she will...
