I think I lost my mind,
Between finding myself
And letting parts go that
I'm not sure of anymore.
I needed the strength to bind
My brain together, but what's left
Isn't enough, and getting it back
Is leaving my heart sore.
Friends are slipping away,
Because I do not have control
Over what I do, or if I talk
About the pressure of being myself.
Sad thing is, I'm losing more each day,
The war opened up my soul,
I knew I was not
Normal since I met this hollow desk,
And my mind worked itself away-
All feedback is welcome and appreciated

Ave Maria
You stare at your own work until you hate it,
Sit for so long you forget why you waited
Hold your tongue instead of speaking your mind
Longing to move forward, but remaining behind.

You're only as rich as you feel
You're only as well as you live
You're only as loved as you linger
You'll only have what you give

You're only as full as your plate
You're only as good as your last
You're only as fast as your finish
You'll only have what you have asked
Can't lay claim to the first line as I overheard it.

The irony of love.
Without hesitation,
we would take the bullet for the one pulling the trigger
irony love

Raven
A shattered heart
A single tear
And the shattered
 remains
Of a family
This one isn't about me, it about one of my closest friends, an I know that she will probably never see this...
Dear her, I cant fix it, but I can help you survive this, and I'm sorry, but know I'm here, and you will always be family to me, I love you.
