?
If a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
If I cry and no one is around to hear me, do I cry?
So if I cry but no one hears, why do you ask if I am okay?
If you witness an act of bullying do you step in to help?

So tell me why it is that when we see a crime, when we hear the tears of an animal, it is ignored by so many?
Craig Harrison Jan 2015
Will part of us live on in others
will our dreams remain
will our love never end
are we infinite?

Space, surely it is infinite
never ending, just like no beginning
we could travel the stars for infinity
but is Space really infinite.

Life, now surely
it's been here for so long
in some form.
Could it exist else where
Mars, Titan, else where
so if Space is infinite
could life be

Ideas, imagination, surely they must be
they make up who we are
they gave us architecture
books, music, art
Ideas and imagination have existed for as long as us
so are they infinite

If none of the others, then surely technology
surely that is infinite
Cars, computers, phones, AI
surely technology will live on
in some form
it must be infinite

HUMANS
If our dreams, our love
If space, if life
If our ideas, our imagination, our technology
If one of them lives on, if just one of them is infinite
then could Humans be infinite

Tears dropped
true love left
it felt like the end
I was set a challenge 5min ago to write a poem with no more than 10 words... This was my first try
Craig Harrison Dec 2014
12 am on Thursday morning
kissing and hugging
cheering and laughing
celebrations and fireworks
drinking and drinking
Happy New Year to the world

End of 14 beginning of 15
out with the old and in with the new
what will 2015 bring you.
12 am on Thursday morning
Happy New Year to the world
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Jesus has been dead for over 2000 years
and all we can do is fetch the beers
2000 years, not much as changed
5 years now we stay engaged

When we walk down the street we get grabbed
then we wake up in hospital shot or stabbed
you have drive by shootings
and all we manage to do is hold special meetings

With all this going on we shed tears
not much as changed over the last 2000 years
One of my earlier pieces
Craig Harrison Dec 2015
Not long to go
till Santa and snow
presents and all
loved ones give us a call
enjoy the day
eat food and have fun
enjoy your Christmas Day

Merry Christmas
A little small, but I was a little rushed while writing this... Merry Christmas everyone.
Craig Harrison Jun 2016
2 worlds, one I wish I lived in and one I can't escape
as a boy running around the garden
playing football and laughing.
The one where I was free, life was happy and fun
waking up in the morning and the sky had no clouds only the sun.

Now the sky is dark and it never stops raining
I see the world of fun, just out of my reach
instead I wonder the streets getting drenched by the rain
with each step destroying all memories of a different world
a world where it's always sunny and life was happy

2 worlds, one I wished I lived in and one I can't escape.
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
In the year 3000
will we still be here
living on land
or below the sea.
Will we have
driver-less cars
robot people
a colonised Mars
where will we be
in the year 3000
Craig Harrison Feb 2016
My eyes do not gaze upon who you are
they see the person you will become

I do not hear your words that time will forget
I listen to your heart

When my fingers tingle your skin as they move down your body
I do not feal the scars that life as given you
I feal the memories that you gained in that life

The aroma that comes oozing from your body
is not that of sweat but of your soul

As our lips touch and we kiss for the first time
I will forever remember the taste of strawberries
for it takes all 5 senses to know a person
My eyes to see you for who you are and who you'll become
my ears to listen to your beautiful voice
touch to feel when you are cold
my nose to smell the perfume you brought
and my taste to really appreciate the meal you worked hard to make
it takes all 5 senses to know a person
I'm aware that for a large amount of people 5 senses is not possible and although this poem lead to been about 5 senses it was actually intended to represent that for a relationship to work properly it takes a lot of effort.. you have to be willing to listen to each other, to tell when they need you with out them saying, to appreciate when they buy something fancy, relationships aren't just about *** they are about 2 people becoming one.. If a person doesn't pay full attention to their partner the relationship will most likely fail.... So this Valentines Day, pay not just attention, pay full attention.

Happy Valentines Day
Craig Harrison Aug 2014
From the dawn of man we've looked to the sky
looking for our God, our heaven, our galactic neighbors
searching for answers, but finding more questions
from Sputnik to the voyager probes
from the first moon landing to the space station
from the dawn of man we've looked to the sky
pushing and pushing to explore
never giving up until we are no more
searching for answers, but always finding more questions
Craig Harrison Apr 2015
Everyone argues
everyone as disagreements
some people blow a fuse
but it's not worth it in the end
so put down your guns
put down your swords
dismantle those bombs.
Have your arguments
have those disagreements
but don't blow a fuse
accept your differences
and work on your similarities
Craig Harrison Jun 2014
Locked eyes
touching lips
an act so beautiful
or so ugly

making love
having ***
different names
different reasons
different positions

vaginal, oral, **** or *******
Trying for a baby
wanting some fun
don't have time, so make it quick
or have a moment alone
what ever your reasons
what ever positions
take precautions

Condoms
Tests
Pills
One act can turn into a lifetime mistake
what ever your reasons
what ever you positions
stay safe
Although in the title it says only read if over 18 if anyone under 18 reads this, if you are having or thinking of having *** remember although at the time it can be amazing the feeling doesn't last.

A serious STD can not be cured and could/will ruin your life

Babies might seem cute but you know those days when you like to sleep in, well you can say goodbye to those for a about 13 years maybe longer

Trying to explain to your parents that you are pregnant/going to be a dad is the same as telling them you are dropping out of school

Giving children up for adoption will seem like a good idea at the time but you will eventually always wonder what they are up to, who are they etc

The person you are having *** with might just tell his/her friends and then gossip spreads which may lead to some bullying.

It's better to stay safe than take the risk
unless you're a risk taker then in that case go sky diving, shark swimming, rock climbing out doors, etc.
Craig Harrison Jan 2014
All I've ever wanted
is to be loved by you
to be liked by you
and
respected by you

All I've ever wanted
is to fit in
to be accepted
and
to be liked for being me

All I've ever wanted
is to have many friends
to be married
and
to have many kids

All I've ever wanted
is to be creative
to be rich
and
to be happy

What you don't know
is when I sleep, I cry
when I'm awake, I cry
and
While I sit here dieing from sadness and loneliness
I cry

All kept hidden from the world
UNTIL NOW
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
In a world of so many
how can someone feel lost or even alone
I don't know where I'm going
I do not know my place
So many people but I feel alone

In a world of so much connectivity
how do I feel so disconnected
To many people to count all talking to each other
so many connections been made each day
But I struggle to connect, I struggle to fit in
I struggle to find friendship

In a world of so many people
a world of so much connectivity
Why is it I can not find love?

So many people, so many connections
Yet I feel alone
Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

Junk the ancient rules of thought by which our predecessors fought
Their clashing minds did throw a spark that scorched the world and wreaked the dark
Let no science fix our path if only numbers make its math
Our brains will run will surely see on some sweeter philosophy
Until beneath a quite sky atop the rubble we will stand and finally demystify the message in fate's reprimand
Even an atomic blast can't rub the future from the past
If with incinerated grace we still become the human race.
This is taken from the movie After the Dark (I do not own the rights to this poem) but I thought it was really good and wanted to share it with you all.
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
for years I cared
for years I worried
sleepless nights wondering what you thought of me
as a man I was scared you'd judge me unfairly
hours a day at the gym
starving myself
hair implants
thousands of pounds spent on my body because I was scared
scared that I would be judged unfairly

for years I cared
for years I worried
sleepless nights wondering what you thought of me
as a woman I was scared you'd judge me unfairly
the cat calls
size 0 clothing
breast implants
bags of makeup
thousands of pounds spent on my body because I was scared
scared that I would be judged unfairly


As a man
As a woman
I was scared
I worried
I cared
what you thought of me
but I learned
I learned that as a man
I learned that as a woman
I didn't need to worry
I don't live on this planet to make you happy
I live here to make myself happy
So as a man, as a woman
I'm no longer scared
no longer worried
I only care what I think of me




For a peaceful world we need an equal world
First things first this poem is not intended to upset or cause offense to anyone. I accept that everyone as a different view on things, this poem is only intended to to promote equality between men and women (and other sexes)

If you are offended by this poem please PM me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

You give and I take
but it's all your crap
if I was anyone else they would give you a slap

I'm not sure why we're friends
yet I remain until our life ends
9 years and counting
but when I'm with you, sometimes it feels like I'm drowning

I'm a good person and I forgive you
but you push me to the point where I wish I could say this friendship is through
Craig Harrison Sep 2014
Once upon a time their was nothing
only darkness, no stars, no planets, no life.
One day something changed
a spark that caused an explosion
more powerful than all of Earths weapons combined.

In that moment that very short moment
the universe went from nothing to everything
the greatest masterpiece, the greatest art show ever
in the space of a second, the universe was full of potential

Potential for life, for music, for creativity
potential for so much
we owe our existence to that tiny spark that caused an explosion
that caused us.
A spark of potential
Craig Harrison May 2014
As I age I struggle to keep my eyes open
From not having a bed time to wishing I could keep to one
From school to work nothing changed
still told what to do just like I was and will always be
Teachers became my bosses and they will become my carers
I'm yet to hit my mid life crisis but I am already questioning my life
Did I make the right choices
did I meet the right people
did I buy the right things
Could I have done more
Fight for what is right, change the world
A powerful mind but with out the powerful job
a leader without anything or anyone to lead
a thinker without anyone to teach
a creator without anything to create
a lover without anyone to love

The world is not your oyster it's your baby
your purpose for life, the thing that makes it worth living
teaching you new things all the time
So beautiful from the moment of birth and only getting better looking with time
Covered with germs that try to attack it and make it weak
but continuing to survive, fighting back with its immune system
needs your protection from people that mean it harm
so you see the world is your baby, your purpose in life

As we age we re-evaluate everything
our decisions our choices  
and at the moment of death we can see what those choices and decisions created
As we age we question

With age we are reborn
A new voice to talk with
new eyes to see things
new ears to hear
all new senses are created when we age, when we question and think

We ask ourselves
Did I make the right choices
did I meet the right people
did I buy the right things
Could I have done more
Fight for what is right, change the world

With age we realise that we are and have
A powerful mind but with out the powerful job
a leader without anything or anyone to lead
a thinker without anyone to teach
a creator without anything to create
a lover without anyone to love

It's not to late, it's never to late
Your powerful mind can change this world
your leadership can lead an army of like minded people
your ability to think can teach those that are not taught
your ability to create can create anything from an abbreviation to a work of art or even create heaven on Earth
your ability to love can save everything and everyone

So to say, a lover without anyone to love
look out your window
look down, look up, look straight out
There is a Universe full of life for you to love

As we age we question everything
we learn new things, see the world differently and hear people correctly
Be more than human
BE GOD
This went a way off target but I hope you liked it

Wind blowing, leaves falling
In the woods I am walking
Birds chirping, squirrels digging
Not stopping my mind from wandering

Fashion walks, beach resorts
Nice weather, beautiful people
City breaks, country retreats
Exotic animals, spiders and snakes

Mona Lisa, The last supper
Beautiful art, beautiful mind
Excellent artists are hard to find

Beautiful things everywhere
open your eyes, happiness is right their

Turn off the light
close your eyes
cover them
(Still not dark enough)

Move your hands
open your eyes
look at the sun
(Still not bright enough)

Turn everything off
put your fingers in your ears
(Still not quiet enough)

Put on headphones
turn up to full blast
(Still not loud enough)

Still not dark enough
still not quiet enough
what could I be talking about?
(Before)

Still not bright enough
still not loud enough
what could I be talking about?
(After)

Before
After
what could I be talking about?
(The Big Bang)

From a spark to an explosion
from dust to a rock
from a rock to an atmosphere
from an atmosphere to a tree to an ocean
TO LIFE
Please DON'T look at the sun

When you think back from where we came you can't help but see how amazing each and every life is.

You ask us to vote, we vote
you ask us to trust you, we trust you
we give you your term, sometimes two
but what do you actually do?

We ask you not to betray our vote, you betray
we ask you not to betray our trust, you betray
we give you your term, sometimes two
but tell me, what do you actually do?

Homeless people
Extreme poor
War
you say you will end them
so we give you your term, sometimes two
but tell me, what do you actually do?

Hanging on my play rooms wall
many toys for us all
I have a feather slapper
black rose whip
and a pair of silk rope handcuffs
hundreds of toys
to enjoy my ***; fun
you might be scared
but you'll be screaming for more when we're done
Inspired by 50 Shades of Grey... Which can I just say that if you haven't watched the film yet, you should, it's quite good... Although I was expecting a bit more from it, but that's just me.
Craig Harrison Feb 2016
It's hard to tell when you've met your soulmate
but you've met yours
and I have met mine
but I wonder if a friendship can mature between us.

I find myself realising that we are quite similar
and I believe you have also
so I ask, can a man and woman be friends?
can a friendship work without others becoming jealous?
This is based on when a male and female friendship get ruined because someone becomes jealous, I have lost a friend in the past due to boyfriend being jealous, so I ask can a friendship truelly work, without anyone getting jealous?

What to do with a mind you can not control
A mind that thinks of things you wished it didn't
behaves a way that isn't you
Split or multiple but their is certainly more than one personality residing in this mind
Scares me with the images, with the dreams
I'm losing control over something that belongs to me
I'm losing me

  So far no voices
but the images I see
the way it controls my every move
I can not help it but I'm losing control

It scares me that I can not keep control of something that is so capable
of beauty
love
compassion
friendship
peace
It scares me that I am losing everything that makes me, me

My mind is something I can not control

So dark, so very dark
but I hear a voice
and I can feel a breeze
but I don't know where I am
all I know is that I'm alone surrounded by people

I can hear people calling my name
Since I lost my sight nothing is the same

I didn't just lose my vision, I lost so much more
My independence
my job
my confidence
my self-esteem
I will never get to live my childhood dream

It's hard to only see one color for the rest of time
BLACK
no color, just
BLACK
Someone very close to me
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
A long time ago I learned there were certain things I couldn't do
I always thought if someone else could do something then so could I.
I was wrong
I could never swim the English channel because I have a fear of drowning
I could never be as confident as some
I could never ask the nice girl out
I understand I'm shy and lack the confidence that stops me from doing certain things.

I don't like to give up, if I set my sight on something I usually complete it
but there are certain things that make me give up
certain things I can't do
I can't do more than my best, it's impossible but for some it's not enough
I can be the greatest friend to someone but never anything more
I lack the confidence, I lack the necessary skills, abilities, personality to do certain things.

I don't like to give up but there are certain things I just can't do, so giving up might be my only option left no matter how much I wish I don't.
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
Is hitting restart on our lives just a dream
do we really start again
out with the old and in with the new
we can try and change, but do people let us

Decorating an house is easy but what about something hard
like a change in personality
new hobbies, new friends, new dreams
do the people we know let us change

If you told your friends you developed a taste for opera
or maybe sky diving
would they accept you and let you change
or would they try to put you down to stop you.
We like to think that our friends would accept us no matter what
but if you completely changed you entire personality
would they accept or would they try to keep you the way you were.
Craig Harrison Jul 2014
When I close my eyes I see
letters connecting to letters
words connecting to words
forming sentences I'm yet to understand

When I close my eyes I see
numbers connecting to numbers
symbols connecting to symbols
forming equations I can't answer

When I close my eyes I see
images connecting to images
pictures connecting to pictures
creating art work I'm unable to replicate

When I close my eyes I see
towns connecting to cities
cities connecting to countries
reminding me of places I'm yet to visit

Sentences connecting to sentences
equations connecting to equations
art connecting to art
countries connecting the world
When I close my eyes I see so much
it feels like my mind will explode
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
As I look outside I see the colors of the rainbow
The red of a beautiful sunset
The yellow of the sun light burning through the sky
The green of trees
Blue clear skies
Fields of violet, fields of lavender
Pumpkins growing a beautiful orange
Skies full of indigo buntings
Outside my window I see the colors of the rainbow
Craig Harrison May 2014
Common arguments like which decade is better
the 90's, 80's, 70's or the 60's
each had its advantages and each had its disadvantages
good things and bad things
the same can be said for the 00's and the 10's
I'm a 90's the same decade that we got the TV show Friends

Common arguments like which football team is better
Arsenal, United, City, Chelsea or Liverpool
each club had its chances, had their time
We stood by them through the good times and the bad
the same goes for every other team
I'm a Liverpool fan, the 2005 Champions League final was like a dream

Common arguments like which *** is better
Male or Female
Each are equal but have more sexes to compete with these days
we might hate our opposites at times but we love them really

Common arguments like which country is better
U.S.A, England, Russia, China or any other country
We all have our problems, we all have our good points
Leaders might argue and fight but social networks have connected us
Our leaders might not realise but we have more in common with each other than we ever knew
we are all united in our goals and our dreams
that is a statement that is true

Common arguments some times go to far
people get hurt
one word fixes most arguments
"SORRY"

You asked a great question
Would anyone miss you if you were gone
If you slipped away in your sleep
if you took the knife from the draw
if you lay their bleeding to death
hanging grasping for air
would anyone care
you asked a great question
and the answer would be
I'd care
I'd miss you
because I love you

Take away your arms
take away your legs
could you survive?

Take away your money
take away your phone
would you cry?

Take away your family
take away your friends
would you be lonely?

Take away your food
take away your water
would you starve, would you die?

Now take away someones arms
take away their legs
could you do it?

Take away someones money
take away their phone
could you do it?

Take away someones family
take away their friends
could you do it?

Take away someones food
take away their water
could you do it?

It happens everyday
someone takes someones limbs
someone takes someones valuables
someone takes someones loved ones
someone takes someones life
If you can't do it to yourself
don't do it to someone else

It's crazy
I try to pull away
but I don't seem able
I promise myself no more
but when I see you I forget about everything
It's crazy

Sometimes were like a river
constantly traveling in one direction
other times
it's like a tug of war
trying to pull away
I promise myself no more
but when I see you I forget about everything
It's crazy

I don't know how
but you some how creep into my mind
I only have to close my eyes
and you appear
I try to pull away
but I don't seem able
It's crazy

Out of no where darkness fell
no clouds
no stars
no sound
only moon light remained
for those living on the ground.

with no light we couldn't see
only shadows standing in front of me
not of human shape
but standing tall
my legs froze, no way for me to escape.

Out of the darkness
came more shadows
no sound
no light
a figure not resembling human shape
questions swam around my head, will this be my final night
with my legs frozen, my body shaking
I was scared, but I knew I'd have to fight.

Like going blind, I was in complete darkness
moon light behind me started to fade
I was surrounded, they got closer
A face, so horrible, so ugly
what was it, what did they want.
As they got closer and closer
they spoke, 4 words
only 4 little words
but they scared me so much
they said
THIS WORLD IS OURS

The End
I hope you like
Craig Harrison Oct 2013
Every night when I lie down in bed
I begin to think what life would be like if i was dead
when i think of this I can’t help but cry
for some reason i don’t want to die

There are days when I have fun
but I just watch TV that’s all I have ever done
I just don’t want to go
but at this moment I feel so low

I have no idea what to do
I don’t like my life but I don’t want to die too
Another old piece, new work will be uploaded before end of October

Is it true what people say
did the Earth have trees
and oceans
did life run free
for as far as the eye could see.

Is it true what people say
did Humans **** animals for fun
pollute the air they needed,
did no one listen to the warnings
did no one stop them.

Is it true what people say
did we leave Earth
because we killed it?
Based on a conversation that may take place someday in the future
Craig Harrison Nov 2014
Don't stop believing
in a world I'll soon be leaving
don't follow my thoughts
or my beliefs
follow your heart.

The world is big
with so much to see
and so much to learn
never give up
don't stop believing
in this world that I'll be leaving.

I'll soon be gone
but I'll always live on
in your heart
in your memories
but keep room
you'll make new loved ones
you'll make many memories
never give up
and never stop believing
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
DO YOU HELP?
DO YOU CARE?
ARE YOU ALWAYS THERE?

DO YOU CRY?
DO YOU SCREAM?
DO YOU AT THE VERY LEAST TRY?

DO YOU PROMOTE LOVE AND HAPPINESS?
OR DO YOU EXPRESS HATE AND SADNESS?
DO YOU CARE ABOUT YOUR NEIGHBOUR?
DO YOU FORGIVE YOUR ENEMY?

DO YOU PUT OTHERS FIRST?
DO YOU GIVE UP YOUR TIME?
DO YOU EARN MONEY FOR OTHERS?
DO YOU RESPECT A STRANGER?

DO YOU
I'LL ASK AGAIN
DO YOU?

DO YOU PUT YOURSELF FIRST?
OR DO YOU HELP OTHERS?
DO YOU LOVE ALL LIFE?
OR DO YOU ONLY LOVE THE LIFE CLOSEST TO YOU?

-----------------------------------------------------------­-------------------------
END
-----------------------------------­--------------------------------------------------
DO YOU AGREE TO HELP?

IF SO

LETS REMAKE THE GARDEN OF EDEN
A WORLD FOR ALL LIFE TO LIVE IN PEACE
It's is up to you what you want and what you do but if you want peace for all life, if you want a better world for everything then you want the same as me.
SO HELP CHANGE THE WORLD AND MAKE IT BETTER NOT JUST FOR US BUT FOR ALL LIFE.

Dreaming of Earth we do see
fantasising of a time when we lived free
hating what as become of our reality

Holding back the tears
remembering what became of our fears
how easy things have changed over the years

Freedom is freedom
no mater how big or small
don't give it up
you'll miss it when no freedoms exist at all.
Dreaming of Earth we do see
fantasising of a time when we lived FREE
Craig Harrison Apr 2014
Dreams, not the kind when we sleep
but the dreams we all have about our futures
More money
A bigger house
or a partner and kids
What ever you dream, remember sometimes dreams do come true

I dream of being rich
I dream of moving to L.A
I dream of these everyday
I dream of having kids
I dream of a better future for all of life
I dream that one day I will find myself a wife

Just remember that sometimes dreams do come true
but without hope dreams are impossible
So have hope and dream big
because today might just be your day
where your dreams come true
I don't even know if this is classed as a poem but it was something I started writing and wanted to share.

I see the fires of hell
I hear the thunders of Thor
at the beginning of Earth there was not much more

After many years the Earth began to cool
in the deepest depths life will rise
but it's not much, it's only got one molecule

Evolution or Religion
what ever you believe is your decision
but we all agree life was born
and Earth was heading for a new dawn

Million of years had passed
A species known as Dinosaurs stood
but tragedy struck and wiped them out along with many other species
but that event allowed a species known as **** sapiens to take over
Which in turn created me so I could write this and so you could read
Not sure about this one, let me know

Do you
breath oxygen
cry when in pain
smile if happy
laugh when you hear something funny
dance while listening to music alone
If so then so do I

Do you
Dream of better things
hope for change
fall in to a category
If so then so do I

Which are you
Crazy, weird, normal
straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender
male, female, other
English, Asian, Mexican, Other
the only category that counts is that you are an Earthling
you were born here
might even die here
but so was I
so will I

The things that are important to you
are important to me
Love, hope, family etc
you are an Earthling
so am I
Not my best

Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it, if you have any questions please ask them and I will try to answer them a.s.a.p.

Upon an house I once fell
old and worn but standing tall
I walked to the open door
shouting out if anyone was there
but no response, not that I could hear.

Dark hallway stood in front
with a flicker of light from the room to my right
a library I had entered
shelves of books, table and chair
with a photo of me standing their

The door I had come in through
shut behind me with a thunderous bang
making me jump but I was already scared

The candle light began to dim
picked up the photo I chose to do
who had been watching me, who took this
who's house were I standing in.

A voice I swear I did hear
"turn it over" a whispered voice called out
no one in the room with me
no electronic equipment I could see

I turned the photo, a message I did see
"You shouldn't have entered, your trapped like me"
I ran towards the door, too creepy an house, to weird an owner
but the door was gone, vanished it be
the candle flickered and finally went and in the darkness came the voice
"You shouldn't have entered, your trapped like me"
I tried something different here but I don't think it worked out right, what do you think.

This was inspired by The Raven written by the great Edgar Allan Poe

I breath the oxygen in the air
I feel the wind hitting my skin
the rain drops on my head
My heart beats to keep me alive
my brain keeps my body running.

I am not different
I am not unique
I am the same as you
I live on this Earth
I was born on this world
I am not different
I am equal to you.

It happened so fast
the blade slicing through my skin like butter.
It didn't hurt as much as I thought it would
but I had just taken painkillers, as many as I could.
The blood rushing out of my wrist like a fast paced river
my eyes beginning to get heavier,
I remember hearing voices outside
I couldn't tell who they belonged to, but they were shouting for me
"Open the door"

I was getting weaker with each passing second
a pool of blood began to form around me.
I closed my eyes, they were to heavy to keep open,
I remember taking a breath, and then I was gone.



As I felt myself leave my body
I saw so much of life flash before me like a hologram
seeing only the good times
the best times
as I watched my life play out I remember thinking where did it go wrong
I was once happy, cheerful.

Looking down at my lifeless body
as my family managed to kick the door down
wrapping my wrist
calling an ambulance
I just remember thinking where was this love when I was looking for it
Maybe not my best poem, and just to let you know this is not about me, although when I was younger I had considered it I never carried it through but I do know people that have tried, including my best friend.

If anyone reading this is considering suicide, please don't
although it may seem like there is no escape, there is, and the right people will help you find that escape. You are a special person and amazing, you are unique, beautiful, smart.

You may or may not believe in God
So to those who do believe remember God loves you
but to all of you remember I love you and you are brilliant.

Everyday you make me feel bad
Everyday you make me feel like I don't belong
Everyday you make me feel sad
Now you're wondering is it a poem or a song

Everyday you make me cry
Everyday I want to die
Everyday I notice I'm different
Everyday I continue to try

Everyday you make me mad
And everyday you make me sad

Everyday is a different day
Everyday you ignore what I say
Everyday I like to dream
Everyday you make me scream

Everyday I feel
Everyday you think it's no big deal
Yesterday, today and tomorrow are all the same
It's everyday do you have no shame

Everyday you make my heart hurt
Everyday you treat me like dirt
Everyday I cry inside
Everyday I just try to hide

Everyday I escape in my dreams
Everyday you ignore my screams
Everyday I wait for change
Everyday I feel strange

Everyday is the same
Everyday I wish it never came
Everyday I feel
Everyday you think it's no big deal

Everyday, Everyday, EVERYDAY!

I am pureness
I am the ocean with out the toxins
I am love without the hate
hope without the need
happeness without the sadness
I am the rain in the clouds
the heat in the sun
the beat in your heart
and the emotion in your eyes
I am everything

Every year it comes
every year it goes
we spend a fortune promoting it, getting ready for it and giving in to it
it's advertised everywhere
spoken by everyone.
It's contagious, it makes us ill
it makes us worry, it makes us aggressive
it makes us rush around like our lives depended on it.

But every year when it comes we love it
every year when it goes we miss it
we spend a fortune to give people a moment of happiness
smiles and laughter
It's advertised everywhere to remind us of the good times
everyone speaks of it because it is so important
it's contagious but gives us joy
we worry and get aggressive because we care so much we want to make that one person happy
we rush but when you see those people smile it's worth it.

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas everyone, stay safe and have fun
