Pain
I sit in my room and try to imagine my future I cant Not for lack of imagination or lack of trying But for the lack of purpose I see no reason to walk on the path of others And i see no reason to start my own My family looks to me for the future I smile and tell them it is bright They do not see that i myself am in the dark Pain Sadness Loneliness But a few words to describe me

HELP
I'm tired... Everyday I die by the minute Every hour I cry for relief This world is built on pain From the banishment of Eden To this moment This world knows no joy To cry is meaningless To complain is meaningless To die...

Death... please
To Death be the glory Great things it has done. To Death be respect For non can outrun Oh reaper Oh killer, slayer of men Take me swiftly, take me gently Take me now if you can

Suicide
Better to have never loved, than to have loved and been left in the cold alone with a broken heart. Better to have told me in the start that you weren't going to stay, than to let me build a mansion in which every night i will spend alone. Better to have never said i love you, if you didn't mean forever.

Better to have never loved
What i am to them is an ornament. My value is determined by the scales they use. Freedom is a dream that looks far from reality. Freedom is for the full who's destined for poverty. A puppet of their play, they control me with strings. Make me dance the mariet and clap hands and their so called brilliance. A pawn in their game, they expect me to win. Feed me steroids of spiritual wisdom and belief, to become the warrior destined to free them from their doom and misery. The mascot they use to boost their fame. Expect me to tell the world, they're the reason i am this way. A well disciplined, obedient good mannered boy. Parents and teacher. The wardens of teenagers. The tormentors of my soul.

Parental guidance
With a leash around my neck i bow to drink. Commands telling me where to step and how to breath. They claim to know what i truelly need. Know whats best. What will make me succeed. Yet deny me life and the right to live. They dont trust my words, call me rash and impatiant. Believe i'm a teenager who knows not right from wrong. To be free, what should i do? Runaway from home or commit teenage suicide. They think they know best. When really, they dont know who i am at all.

Parental hell- teenagers deserve freedom
Killing myself is not an option, but killing everyone around me is. To be honest this life is a bore. Everyday gets harder, and each step seems further away. Am i to give up because of the challenges? Am i to succum to their wim? Bow like a servant and bark like a dog? Believe their hypocrital lies and apply them to my life? Do they wish to chain me with their instructions? Tell me to behave when they're the ones breaking every commandment with no remorse. Tell me to respect while they judge us for our past mistakes and point fingers while we pass. Am i to be what they want me to be? Or be free.

Release me from these chains that have bound me since birth
I'm not perfect, i'v made my mistakes. I regret my past and fear the future. The world is cursed, and it cries with the pain of loss and rejection. Betrayal Lies Adultery Love Pawns in a game played by the heart. Truth Loyalty Passion Hope Allusions conjured by the clouded and misguided. Depraved souls Dammed from birth Humanity is dieing Crumbling away Loosing the battle To an enemy seen only by reflection

Heartache
Who should i say my heart is given to? The rose of my garden which has such beautiful petals Who bestows an aroma only fit for angels Or should i say the beauty that hath slayen the beast The fairest of fair which chose an undeserving me Oh who oh who should i sayest art thou? Who keeps the key, that locks my heart. Who has become the reason i now chirp with love Oh who oh who is this maiden? Oh who is my love who is my angel
