I lay in bed alone at night and wonder why I'm here. I do so much for everyone Why don't they show they care? I met this girl who said she loved me something I haven't heard in so long. She used me for my money what a ride she took me on. There is so much hurt I feel, so much anger trapped inside. Sometimes I wish my dad was here, but to me he's not alive. I have no one to talk to These drugs seem to be the only way Turns out it's a lie just like the smile I put on each and everyday. I know outside I'm smiling, It's the face I fake for you, But inside my soul is crying and there is nothing I can do. I know my family loves me, I'm there when their decisions are poor. I'm sick of feeling like this walked on rug thrown upon the floor. I lay in bed and wonder what the hell I'm doing here Can I wake up from this dream?

I'm breaking; I can't be fixed. I'm missing, But I won't be missed. Still shaking From what I fear. I can't let you in, So don't come near. I guess you're right; I'm way too thin, And I'm fighting a battle That I'll never win. I have so many flaws; I don't know where to start From my messed up hair To my messed up heart. So what's the point To continue to fight? When my restless days Turn into restless nights. This life hasn't been fair. I can finally tell That nobody cares, And it hurts like hell. I still don't understand What was God's cause? Why did He put me on earth With all of my flaws? Was I born just to die? Am I part of a plan? Made to finally see That I won't die an old man. I don't know how to live. I have nothing to gain, And all I want from you Is to end all my pain. I'm losing sight Of what I've already seen. I'm losing my grip, And I'm barely seventeen

Restless nights
I'm glad you're happy. I guess it's what I deserve. I can't change the fact You make my heart swerve. I had my chance, I ******* it all over. Threw away my only luck Like a four leaf clover. I'm not saying that I'm perfect, I'm not saying I'm a nice guy, But be mine once again. Not only will I make it worth it, But I'll ****** try. You really don't understand, You're worth more than a hundred grand. I never wanted it to be like this. It hurts because you're the one my heart will miss. I can't take back the moment. I can't make your happiness change. Don't look at me now, I'm broken. It's like I'm being shot at a shooting range.

Broken
For all the times I tried to hide All the darkness I've defied And all those times I felt alive Only to fall down again and die I know some people refuse to see The life I lead, the blood I bleed The reasons I did things that just weren't clean And when I hid away, just let me be I don't expect everybody to trust The passion, the fire, the anger, the lust The security, loyalty, vision deceives It's how you perceive, how you see me And I'm sorry that tonight I said goodbye But it's better for you, I ain't gonna lie In every lie there's a kernel of truth And it shows me that I was never right for you

Adieu, mademoiselles
Ignorance is bliss they say, I never found it When I was being put down And they were shouting at me like "You'll never rise up, you're nothing, ain't worth the time" And it only gave me another excuse to rap and to rhyme Expressing my feelings just to get it off my chest While at the same time writing lines simply to be my best, it's a test And so far I've been passing, they said I can't do it But watch as I sonic speed right on through it I'll defeat the Doctor Eggman and chill with my bud Tails While you sitting in the corner pointing out all my fails But I don't care, it's behind, another lesson learnt So that I progress easier and don't be so badly hurt I like to help others, a saint some would say A blessing disguised as a kid you see everyday But keyword is disguised, every man has his demons They can be so bad that ol' skull-face takes to reapin' But I haven't fallen yet, I still stand tall On the hill, helpless just watching it all burn I know I'm not liked, by many and still don't care As long as I live happily then I ain't gonna be snared By the concept that the best must have a good reputation But solitude for some is the key to salvation Why would you want to fit in with people that you don't like? And when they try to conform you, tell em to take a hike

Raving Again
Imagine yourself Alone in your head You're hanging, dangling From a silver thread Empty, alone With the monsters within Internally screaming You just want to give in Now imagine that's you Every day, every hour Forever sinking Like a wilting flower You try to tell your dad And you try to tell your mom But they say you're being silly You've just got to move on Because teens don't know sorrow Nor the hardships of life They're just kids with imaginations Just looking for attention, right? You think that there's none Who know how you feel You're just so alone But the feelings- they're real Useless Neglected Forgotten Distressed Alone Afraid But mostly Depressed And you're friends They go on Like nothing has changed "They must not care" Your thoughts whisper The lies in your brain You can't escape it Trapped in your own skin You're ugly You're hated But you mask it with a grin You hate what you feel So instead you feel nothing Your insides are numb Your confidence crumbling You look to other things To stop the pain Cutting, pills But it gives you no gain And the people around you Shout abuse your way "You're hurting yourself, stop it!" That's all they ever say No matter how you plead That you're broken inside They turn the other way They run, they hide They say you're just foolish It's all in your head What they don't know, is inside You're already dead

Imagine
Yeah I've seen some **** And felt deeply about all of it, Been places and seen faces, wish I could forget And some things I wanna take back, that I shouldn't have said But it's easier said than done, The past catches me up whenever I try to run So I reflect on how I'm such a reject Not accepted simply because I'm different But not everyone sees what I see That everybody's different, in their own way unique Some believe in love at first sight, I didn't And if she sees this she'll probably be suspicious But there's so many different meanings for the word love And so many times I think I've had enough Of trying my hand at trying to hold another's hand I put in more effort than I seem to, understand? It's just another facade, another masquerade Of people hiding thoughts and ideals so that they stay safe But how in the world is this world gonna change, When nobody opens up and it all stays the same?

Life Masquerade
How do you perceive the world A world as dark and happy, Suppressive and full of opportunity, As another headache or painkiller, Or as much of a heartbreak Or heart-filler? Where does one draw the line In the figurative dirt of Trust or mistrust, Of isolation and lust? How have you been conditioned to view this world? Through two windows to a compact machine Cogs and gears turning, calculating... What am I seeing?

Windows of Opportunities
It's another day, Nothing's changed You'd think it boring When it stays the same Perhaps it is, But not to me You could call it bad, Predictability I get by, With my wicked ways I'd load up Though I know the names **** digging my way to hell I'll just take the elevator

I Don't Know Why I Wrote This
Memories in my life fade away As I replace them with others. They are forgotten and stored away. Although the memories are pushed to the side, They are safe so I may remember them in the future. Our mind is like a book; It writes down important things and keeps them between the pages forever. Maybe our whole album of memories: Our first steps, first love, first grief, and others Were meant to be there for us to never forget.
