The sea is calm tonight,
    The sky is clear,
        And the moon lies fair.
           The world glimes,
Still,in sun's absence.
Come to the window,
Sweet is in the night air!
Where the moon meets the land;
        It will be almost dawn.
       For the world seems
          To lie before us
      Like a land of dreams.

Depression is
"I should shower now, while I'm still feeling okay."
Depression is
Drinking water with every bite because you don't want to eat.
Depression is
Having an audiobook on while you sleep to keep yourself from waking up vulnerable.
Depression is
Taking risks to try and reach yourself.
Depression is
Vivid memories overlaying themselves on reality.
Depression is
Wanting to do your schoolwork but being unable to find the strength.
Depression is
Not answering texts because too much interaction tires you out.
Depression is
Having to work harder than everyone else for the same result, and being called lazy anyhow.
Depression is
Sleeping for 14 hours and still being tired.
Depression is
The guilt that comes with finding one person who makes you feel good, and knowing you will burden them.
Depression is
Being left by your lovers or friends because they don't understand.
Depression is
Piles of ***** laundry you wish you had the inner fortitude to do.
Depression is
Wandering the empty roads in the middle of the night because you can't sit still.
Depression is
Reading a book whenever you are in public to ease the stress.
Depression is
Not always
Visible.

I used to think men
should be more like books
Both you cannot
judge by looks...

If I didn't want to finish reading
I put it down... no heart was bleeding

A book will never fuss or fight
It will stay with you
through the night...

It doesn't smoke. It doesn't drink.
It won't leave toothpaste
in the sink!

It doesn't binge... it don't eat...
It won't leave up the toilet seat!

It don't forget. It doesn't mope.
It won't hog the TV remote!

It doesn't have to have
The last say...
It doesn't have legs

to walk away.

But it's not soft. It isn't warm.
It doesn't keep you
safe from harm.

Even though it makes no fuss
It can't think. It can't discuss.

Even though it has its charms
it can't hold you in its arms.

It doesn't pine. It doesn't miss.
It can't hug and it can't kiss.

So now I think on it again...
... I think BOOKS should be
             more like MEN!!!

Dear Sandman,
All you had to do was bring the cat out of the bag, and the little girl would have known she would be kidnapped, and *****, she would have avoided going to the supermarket at 7: 30pm on Sunday and maybe one day, she would have been something in life. but you decided to keep that secret, and now that she's grown are you happy that she sleeps with every man she could find that gives her money she could feed with. Sandman, you knew, you knew that she was gonna meet that man who would steal her heart with all his help and aid, but at the end of the day, he would only give her ***/AIDS and that's how her story ends everyday taking meds, that she can't afford, so she decides to spread it and sleeps with every other man.

People are mostly feelings -
they're all churned up.
So they go misdirected,
not thinking too clear, you know?
And everything gets messed up,
even though they keep preaching
peace and love.
Now, it may be true that the human race
won't be saved without love -
but love won't be saved
without intelligence.

Discover me
Seize the moment
Uncover me
Life is uncertain
Confide in me  
Lay down your burdens
Find clarity
Through the pain worth enduring

Lighting strikes back at
The thunders angry
Tantrum
The great battle of
All that lives in
The
Sky
Clashing of many
Personality traits proves
Hell on earth now and
Then
Chaos runs with the
North winds
That blow in monstrous
Fronts mother earth
Herself can't contain
Something kronos conjured
From a blackened
Heart
Where love was never left
And hatred is your best
Friend
An unlikely force unleashed
In the great sea
Parts
Ways onto dry land
Staring with weary
Eyes
Yielding for
Battle
On the front lines
With nothing left to
Give
And short of a
Reason
Why
You surrender
To the unknown
Which possess
You
To act with such
Haste
And bitterness

Lovey
Every season passes by with time.
We have our seasons of love,our seasons or pain,our seasons of confusion on wether we are happy or wanting to cry,and our seasons of finally smiling.
We go through our year over and over again,and just carry on.
But whom all realizes every season they've become stronger. You've learned to trust,you've learned to love,you've learned to cry,you've learned to forgive,you've learned to stand up and smile once more. You'll learn in time each seasons different,each year. You'll learn to accept being vurnable, you'll learn to fall even when you don't want to,you'll learn how to be strong,you'll learn to say no and to let go,you'll learn to accept you are not perfect,and you'll understand no one is. You'll get the fact everyone has a past,you'll become to understand we mess up time after time,you'll learn to let the guarded wall on your heart down,you'll come to terms of being ok if you get heartbroken it isn't the end of the world. You'll find out what living a little is. It's gonna be just fine if you go out with someone and break up,that's sometimes a good thing,you figure out who's right for you and whom you'll love forever eventually. You'll learn it's ok to be happy when others are not. You'll know that you are yourself and you are one person,you don't have to carry everyone's weight around you choose too. It will be ok if you adventure out on your own. It will be just fine to live on your own and know who you are. It's also just fine to be friends with those who carry you down but you'll learn to put the sheild on going down with them. Always remember you choose each day if you'll open the blinds and light in or keep them closed and be in them dim light of things.-Lovey

Perhaps lifes pleasures
Seek darkness beneath goodness
Slithering into the forbidden
Fruits
Your soul harbors
Lustful fantasies replaying
During rebellious years when life
Meant something
To a younger image of
A fearless
You
Living without limits, soaring
Head on into the fire
And
Becoming one with the
Flames
Tempting danger in the face
With guns drawn
Never taking 3 steps back
Those were the days when fate
Still meant something in my heart
And mornings were easy
To face
Limitless was the thought of
The day
And anything was possible
Youth is so innocent, and invincible
To a cruel, unforgivable world
But you don't know anything about
That
You live as if the world is a
Silver platter in which you
Stand upon
Handed anything you desire
And every wish is
Granted

Jilted memories lagging
On a turntable
Mocking the
Somber tune
Of
Dismay
Round about
Feelings humming
About a crippled
Mind
Starring down
A
Lions den
The voices linger
In the dense air
Of no
Memory left
Of you
Abandoning
Me
Your 30's looks
Now faded into
A frame unknown
To me
The very thought
Of you
Has left my
Voice
Trembling
Obscenities my heart
Doesn't understand
Long gone on a quest
Of anger
You will never
Know
Yeilding a heavy
Heart
In regards to whom
It may
Concern
Because to you
Im but a
Stranger
You left long
Ago

up above and down below
there are forces of our control
waiting for strength or weakness to show
then you will reap the seeds you sow

if you choose down below
then hell will be your fate
if you choose up above
heavenly gates will await

up above and down below
there's a battle for your soul
every weakness and strength they know
only you can choose which way to go

no stone is colder
than a stone that's left unturned
afraid if we flip it over
we might just get burned

when there is no closure
the heart is only left to yearn
the pain never grows older
but becomes our main concern
