Don’t worry about
    breaking me
Or making me sad
Because you can’t
Break something
  That is already
        Broken
    And sadden
      Someone
Who is already sad

This burden is big
It loves to dig
Straight through my heart
It gives me a head start
At the beginning of this burden
I know that for certain
Nobody really cared
I am like a Hare
Being hunted by a bear

Nobody really cares
It is terrible when they stare
It is a terrible burden to bear
Don’t try to tell me that somebody cares
You say that it is unfair

I see it in your eyes
You try to disguise
The smile on your face
But there’s fear inside

Fear of not being good enough
Not giving 100%
Fear of losing
Not being the best

Just be happy
In all you do
Living life is more of a challenge
Even if you don’t show
The fear on the outside

We are all hurting somehow
In many different ways
It’s how you take actions
To climb to the top of the mountain

Depression is a dark sky, but my star’s still shining baby
life is filled with dark corners
Dark corners that twist and turn, as to break a bone without pain,
but what can you do?
As a rose, it’s beauty unmatched..
But the thorns are all you fear.
My sight is clear, but empty faces,
Empty faces that scream threats with sharp eyes and piercing thoughts that cut me ever so gently as to hide the scars from sight.
It’s my ocean, it spreads across all I know,
But the touch is all that matters
It’s the warmth of the sun on a face on a warm summer day,
It’s the smell of the wild flowers blanketing the beautiful mountain scapes hugging the sky, with gentle arms.
The touch, is all we really want.
But some can’t face it.

Sweet dreams were broken
When I looked upon the sky
Hateful words spoken
I thought to say my goodbyes

Down the hole I went
Where dark was the only light
The frown I resent
The bright day barely in sight

Deep in my sad mind
Where I lied down on the grass
Where I try to find
Whatever can truly last

I look to the sky
Where darkening grey clouds come in
The rain starts to fly
Down upon my weathered skin

Then I close my eyes
And let the dark enclose me
Now there’s softened cries
As I die by the green tree

I’m crying tears of blood. It’s just like tracking in mud. I thought we had a truce. But then you handed me a noose. I’m lying here in pain. Slowly going insane. You handed me a knife and said cut a nice slice. You said I’ll just feed you to the mice. You say this is the end. It looks like it all blends. If there was anything more you could do. I know it’d be true. That I’d be totally *******.

Other Person - I really wish I was there with you.

Me - I do too, but only if you knew. That I have already driven the *****.

— The End —
