I looked deep into the abyss of your pain
and heard the screams that you could not voice aloud--
the blackness which encases your heart
has been etched indelibly forever
upon my mind, my soul
and I ache from seeing your pain
and cringe in fear
wishing, praying, hoping somehow
I could make it go--
but I have no power to help you, dear friend--
all I can do is step out of the way
and hope somehow the darkness will unleash its hold
and allow you to come back out and play.
When you see someone you truly care about in such pain that you cannot fathom a way to help...

I feel as if this world called earth, had made me come undone,
so I decided today,
that I'd sleep it away,
as I transport my brain many miles away,
as my mind runs for miles upon miles,
until my mind becomes my body,
and I'm at a beach,
feet in the sand by the tireless ocean,
I look up to see the sun,
as my mind makes me float like a child in the water,
but instead of water i'm sent into the clouds,
strait into the sun,
the heat surrounds my body,
my mind does not remember things like gravity,
and I sore away,
from this dull world,
I am destined for brighter things,
things where the people on earth wont crush them,
where you're never given false hope like an early snowfall in October,
as to show you that planet had no plans of a winter.
How come the earth is so bitter?
the earth doesn't need snow for me to feel cold,
as our actions have made blizzards we can't shovel ourselves out of,
and cries of children young and old,
from near and far,
from up here I can see it all so clear,
that we cause more problems than were originally hear,
if we could learn to let other ask for our help,
maybe they might of before,
but now since we thought we knew best,
our whole worlds become a mess,
and we have worse problems to deal with then a war.
so I shoot past the clouds,
into the sun,
knowing that help is an art of asking,
rather than controlling.
and until our world can master this art,
nothing will save me or anyone from falling,
when it gets torn apart.
A poem/story about well, I hope I was clear c:

Slow down put your feet on the ground
Before you take the next step
Look twice before you step on the ice
You never know when you might slip
Listen close to the ones who know
You might hear some good advice
Let go of your self control
You never know it might even be nice
May be nice   May be nice   May be nice

It may be nice to forget all your worries
To just slow down and not be in a hurry
To have some fun and enjoy your life
So listen close to my advice
Slow down  slow down  slow down
Before you're six feet underground

So deep better look before you leap
Never know where you might land
Back slide though you say that you tried
You couldn't find a place to stand
Rocky ground that's where you're bound
Though not exactly what you had planned
Long roads and extra heavy loads
Seems to be your lives demands

Hold tight with all your might
To all the things you don't need
You will set yourself for the ****
If that's what it takes to succeed
Cut deep but blood isn't cheap
So you sit and watch yourself bleed
Don't care cause you're going nowhere
And you only want to be freed

It may be nice to forget all your worries
To just....slow down...
And not be in a hurry

There are moments in our lives
that we need to choose.
Choose what we think is best
where we have much less to lose.

Choices may bring us harm
or lead us to good.
But one thing is for sure,
It will prove that we could.

It’s that time of the year,
To sit down, and to reflect.
I’m doing what I can,
But the pieces won’t connect.

Thoughts that were in my head,
Left alone for much too long.
Unwritten, unexpressed,
They rotted before I can write this song.

I should have written them down,
Captured those precious moments.
Because I can no longer feel them,
As though they faded in seconds.

How can I make reflections,
When I don’t know what occurred?
When I don’t know how I felt,
When my memories are blurred?

I want to relive those moments,
Retake the year’s journey.
To put together the lost pieces.
Lest they be left behind, those memories.
