My blackened heart was once exposed I told you things you'd never known. You stained what was once just pure and gold. I feel like I am getting old. Trust me when I say its gone, ill never love you trust belongs. And with those words that passed your lips, i can not ever forget. I wish you well, that is a lie, I hope you want to ******* die. Then you'll know the truth in me, this blackened heart exposed to see.
Will I ever find where I belong
This pains been drawn out far too long. I paint a smile on my face the world won't know my disgrace. The time I spend inside my head makes me wish that I was dead. A prison of my own demise, I'm sure you see it in my eyes. The spell I'm under that I cast, will always make me end up last. Im wearing life out way too fast. I need a friend who's got my back. Before the light fades to all black.
Wrote this a year ago after a heartbreak.
I write the best stuff when im feeling anything but happy.

There is more to life than meets the eye,
Across the world there's birds that fly, and fish that swim across the seas, many things youll never see. There's people living on the streets, you will not know them, you'll never meet. You go along throughout your day without once thinking, how are they? You cannot care you don't know them, you think they are just stinky bums. Theyre people too they might be *****, but they still love and hurt as you do.
There's more to life than meets the eye. Sometimes we must sift through the lies.
To find the truth thats burried in, with all these falsehoods coming in. Its hard to tell when people lie they look you right dead in the eyes. They tell you things that might be true, but later find out they got you. Its all ok its all alright, there's more to life than meets the eye.
Its a work in progress. I feel like i could add so much more and make this poem really awesome. Feel free to add a few lines.

Idk
Im on this path to see whats at the end. Its a long windy road with lots of bends. Getting lost is part of the journey. Its not a problem im in no hurry, telling stories of friends who've gone. Through my words they will live on. The dark days come the dark days go, one day we all gotta go. Light is peaking through the cracks, I break on through and dont look back.

Memories of the times we had. Ill have to admit it wasn't all bad. In the end you stabbed me in the heart prolly planned to from the start  now my soul it must embark on the climb out from the dark. Even though our page is gone another chapters' coming along. Ill stay strong it won't be long. Another day.
Wrote this last year. I was in a bad place then.

Hanging on by a thread, my mind is a mess, killing brain cells just to rest, life is all a test. Reflections and memories of life lived so far, the mistakes that Ive made left me covered in scars. My life is a battle, sometimes things get hard. I will never give up ill fight through the dark.

I've felt peoples faces becoming my own, i quickly retreated becoming more cold. Don't ask where I went to it wouldn't make sense, the places I crawl to are deep and depressed. Its hard to explain I am not like the rest.

I hope that your listening, to these words that Im stringing, I write to inspire you, build a fire inside of you, so that one day you all can, spread that fire across the land. Teach inspire and educate. Make the world something great. A place where we all can get along, see the common ground we're standing on. Life is really not that long. Now i hope that you all liked my song.

Slow flowing water
Littered with sludge and waste
The earth sighs sadly.

I don't think i can change the world, but I wont let that stop me from trying. Its dangerous, once you start using the tools you're supplied with. Everything I do, I try thinking of all of you, how you feel deep down, how the things that I say are affecting you. The way you live, and the things that you say, have effects that live on way long after your body decays. So the way I live and the things i say, are only out of love and craziness.
