Voices II
Barker Apr 2018
Is it really worth it?
Does loving you out weigh the cons?
You mean everything to me.
But I have these voices in my head
Telling me it's wrong.
These voices make me second guess everything.
I don't know.
What if I'm doing something wrong?
What if you don't really love me?
What if I'm just fooling myself?
...
What if you're just playing with me?
I've had my heart played with before.
What if this is all just set up for heartbreak?
I can't withstand another break up.
What if?
...
These voices keep me up at night.
I can barely sleep.
Sometimes I don't sleep at all.
I just lay awake thinking of all the possibilities.
I can hear the voices telling me that you don't like me.
I can hear them saying things that I know aren't true.
But they make me doubt everything.
I don't know what the truth is anymore.
And that scares me.

Worth
Barker Apr 2018
I sometimes wonder whether it's all worth it.
If going through all this pain will end up paying off.
If all those nights spent worrying about things,
Will even matter in the end.
I don't know.

Break
Barker Apr 2018
I'm standing here,
Gun in my hand.
The pain,
Is unbearable.
I need to take a break,
But that's the thing,
Life doesn't give breaks.

Help
Barker Apr 2018
I just feel so useless
You need someone who is better fit for this

I'm trying to help
Yet you are still hurting

I don't know if it's because I am not doing stuff right
Or if I am just not good enough

I really want to help you
But I get frustrated because you are still hurting

I feel hopeless
I get down because I don't know what to do

It's not your fault love
Just tell me what I can do

Myss
Barker Apr 2018
I am at home.
And then the memory starts.

I remember you,
Your smile,
Your laugh,
Your eyes,
Your scars,
Your voice.

I miss you

I want to cuddle you
I want to tell you how much you mean to me
I want to kiss you and tell you how much I love you

And that makes me miss you even more

Missing the Start
Barker Apr 2018
When I was in my second relationship

I missed the feeling of being me
I missed the nights where I didn't have to worry about anyone except me
I missed the days where I could just isolate myself and read
I missed when I didn't have to be dependant on someone
I missed when I didn't have to tell anyone anything
I missed those moments

I started to lose hope in finding love

But you came around

I started to like the way you made me feel
I started to like feeling wanted
I started to like being with someone
I started to like telling you things
I started to like nights where we would just talk about our problems
I started to like the fact that I didn't have to be alone

And then I realized I was starting to fall in love

Pain III
Barker Apr 2018
I stare at the pills in my hand.
I swallow them all down in one gulp.
I drink the cool water from the tap.
I wait.
And wait.
And wait.
Until there it is.
I feel it.
The pain blisters through me like lightning.
It starts in the pit of my stomach and spreads.
I double over in pain.
I want to cry out.
I want to scream.
But I can't.
I have no voice.
I just lay.
On the floor.
Whimpering in pain.

I pass out from the pain.
When I wake up.
I hear sirens.
Voices calling out my name.
Then my vision blurs.
And I am once again.
Engulfed in the darkness.
The sound of loud beeps.
Wakes me up.
And I realize.

I'm still here.

You V
Barker Apr 2018
Like a diamond
You are strong
You can conquer anything

Yet you are precious
You glimmer in the light
You make everyone around you sparkle

But you weren't always a diamond
You had to be put through your limits
You had to be tortured

You were forced every day to be put through immense pressure
You had to break and mend over and over again
Until one day you woke up

And you became
Something
More

You IV
Barker Apr 2018
It breaks my heart to see you broken

I want to **** everyone who has done you wrong

You deserve more than this

All good people go through hard times

It's not fair that you are the one to get hurt

You mean so much to me

I don't understand why people hurt you

You are so precious

Like a diamond

Pain II
Barker Apr 2018
I see you standing there
I can see the pain masked by a smile
I can see how broken you are

I want to help you
I want to make you feel wanted
I want to make you happy

But I don't know how
I don't know what to do
I don't know how to act

I wish I could help you
I want to help you
I can help you

I've been through this
I know how this works
I know how I got through this

Maybe I can heal those scars on your wrist
I just want you to open up
I need you to open up

I know that it is hard
I understand what this means
I might not understand completely

I can try to understand
I will understand
I just need you to trust me

Please
Let Me
Help You

Don't
Shut Me
Out

Pain
Barker Apr 2018
The pain I feel
Is not the pain you get from physical injuries

The pain I feel
Is the pain that comes from within

It is the kind of pain that can destroy you
It is the emotional pain that turns physical

It is the beginning and the end
It is the in between

It lingers during the day
And is full blown at night

That is the kind of pain
That I feel

Lessons on Love
Barker Apr 2018
You never know what you had until it is all gone.
You never know what you had until it falls apart.

But if you want love,
You're going to have to go through the pain

You never know what you had until it is all gone.
You never know what you had until it falls apart.

But if you want love,
You're going to have to learn how to change

You never know what you had until it is all gone.
You never know what you had until it falls apart.

But if you want love,
You're going to have to give some away

If you want love

Barricades
Barker Apr 2018
I built walls around my broken heart.
So no one can break it again.

I made barriers around my mind.
So no one can use my memories against me.

I sealed my emotions.
So no one can use my feelings as a weapon.

Angel through the darkness
Barker Feb 2018
Broken hearts
And
Empty feelings

You brought me
In
With meaning

You mended
My broken heart

And chased away
The dark

Now all I see
Is your light

Shinning so ever
Bright

Darkness
Barker Jan 2018
It's all in your mind. They used to say.

Can't you hear it? They're whispering.

It's all in your head. They used to say.

Can't you see it? They're the darkness.

It's existing inside you. They used to say

Can't you feel it? They're running around in circles.

They are no longer in you. They now say.

You've become it.

Masks
Barker Jan 2018
What's behind your mask?

Are you as broken as I am?

What's behind your mask?

Is the darkness inside you?

What's behind your mask?

Are you as hollow as I am?

What's behind your mask?

Is the pain held inside you?

What's behind your mask?

Are you afraid of it?





Yes...I am

Lest We Forget
Barker Nov 2017
Finally, after 4 years of continues battle, was there finally peace.
Soldiers rose from the trenches, with their faces still full of dirt.
They shook hands with their counterparts and then walked away
From the horrors that they endured for those 4 years.
Many brave soldiers died during that war.
They will never be forgotten.
Neither will those who fought for their country.

Purpose

And everything suddenly makes sense

Good people always try to look for the good in others.

They will always blame it on themselves.

Because they want to believe that there is good
