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
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
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.

Memories
Its like a plague that never goes away, Or an animal and its prey, It waits... And waits... And waits...until you're ready, Then closes in and devours you... From the inside out. ALL you see is shadows of the ones you once knew, No more happiness, No more laughter, No more love, Its like a thunderstorm that blocks your soul. Your soul becomes a black hole, Whatever said, heard, or learned, Is forgotten, never brought up again, No longer does anything matter, Its all darkness, Like a plague that never goes away.

Darkness
Depression is oppression. It's a deadly hidden message Defined by self-hate. It seals its prisoner's fate. It holds you captive and throws out the key. It stabs and jabs just to see you bleed, Inflicting wounds that scar for life. Destruction is its mother and death its wife. You can cry, but it will always ignore your screams. It terrorizes your soul and haunts your dreams. It sends you false hope through a bottle or pill. It destroys your goals and inflicts its will. You can't run, nor can you hide. By its rules you will abide Until it celebrates that you have died. Open your eyes, or you will be its prey. It will blur your vision in the most twisted way. It will seek your destruction and call for your head. You will lie and wait but never rest in your bed. Peace will come to those who want peace, But as long as you feed him, you will see the beast. You can't run, nor can you hide, But if you conquer the beast, you will survive. Prayer and hope can lead the way. Cling on to every word you pray. Hope is in truth. Hate is in lies. Pray for your soul and open your eyes.

Can't Run
She smiles, I cry. She is outgoing, I am shy. She loves, I am alone. She is amazing, I am unknown. She is beautiful, I am a mess. She is happy, I am depressed. My mask is perfect: She hides me

She Is
Friends come and go Life flies by right before your eyes. You loose ones you love Yet through it all you still love your life. People leave you to fight alone You put on a fake smile to hide all your pain Yet someone still knows your hurt. Through it all you still put on a front to satisfy those around you Thorough it all you wouldn't change a thing Through it all you wouldn't trade your life for fame. You build a wall to try to keep from getting hurt You lock up you heart and throw away the key to see who cares enough to look for the key Through it all there's not many people that got you to open up yet still you love it all. Struggles meet you in the face to watch you slip up Yet through it all you wouldn't change a thing. Through it all you wouldn't change a thing Through it all you wouldn't trade your life for fame.

Through it all
Depression is here everyday And it never goes away Go away! I yell into the dark As if someone is there I feel as if I'm a prisoner In the dungeon's lair And as always no one cares Do I dare? Dare to care about anyone but me? Could it be, Someone there? Someone there to care? No, just an image That's the way it will always be No matter how hard I try I just want to get by I go through life day by day, I thought pain was supposed To go away with time But it's not It's still here Here with the fear Fear that I will get hurt more
