next time you see me slit my throat let my blood gush like it did on american streets mute my screams like i did while the news got old let your knife **** the silence and ignite the need for equality. next time you see me pull the trigger on my foolish mouth shut me up while i complain about my silver spoon while children die of empty stomachs in the south let the gun sound wake up people like me to reality. next time you see me lynch my body let it hang like decoration to show people that the silent are like the violent the mute are like police who shoot the ones who are quiet while they feast on a meal are like the crooked politicians who steal. let my silence be the death of me and my new found voice be the death of the thoughts of our enemy. - t.m

i've been to hell and back, and every time, you start to slack, but you are my prozac, you are my soundtrack, and nothing sounds the same without you.

without you
This isnt a poem but it is a REALIZATION. A realization that most of everybody, every human being has their oen imagination. And each of us human beings use our imaginations almost everyday of our lives, now most human beings like me who have been bullied 24/7 almost everyday of the week.... Tend to use our imagination more than the average human being. You see I use my imagination everyday, in everything that i do. I use my imagionation as an escape. An escape from life. An esape from the bullies. And every other thing that ever happened to me. But after getting bullied so badly, now it seems like no matter how far or how deep I go into my imagination I go, the bullies are always there and now its to the point where i've turned to other things like drugs, I know thats a bad thing but its not bad to the point where im addicted its just that I use them to numb the everyday pain of life away. But as I continue to use the drugs the numbness from the drugs is starting to numb away and now im starting to feel all the pain from life again and now im realizing that I need help before its to late because I keep thinking these crazy thoughts. And they truly scare me. If your reading this please. Help me. Before its to late. BY: BLURRYFACE

The truth is, I'm just another mutant kid. Fused at the wrists and hips, these scars will tell you how I've lived. I've seen the Son's face, if it wasn't for His grace, I don't know how I would have survived this place. Your songs reminded me that I don't always have to be strong, that my tears weren't always wrong. My Savior offers me haven from the demons that plague this place. My home is dark and cold, but He set fire to my bones. He set my soul ablaze and I made haste to escape this dreadful place. I've thrown away all my ammunition, put aside all my false traditions. I've canceled all my plans, I've proven the enemy as a scam. And now instead of taking it out on my wrist, I've turned my gun to a fist.
