To you.
Wherever you are,
whenever you read this,
know that it's just for you.
...
You're sad,
you're angry,
and hurt.
Confused and frustrated
doesn't even begin to explain
the inner pain.
But I know.
I do.
I've been where you are,
I've felt that hurt,
I've cried those tears,
I've screamed those words.
I've torn myself apart,
down to little shreds,
drowning and dreading,
ready to give up.
Don't.
Because, here's the thing.
I know it's familiar,
I know you're used to it.
I know you think you're at the end.
But you're not.
Take a deep breath with me,
and feel the truth of my words.
You. Are. Loved.
You are Not alone in this.
I swear,
and I wish I could stress it more,
if no one else is there,
know that I am.
I am here.
Telling you how beautiful and deserving of life you are.
Because it's true.
You're so much braver than you know.
You have so much to offer this world.
There absolutely is a purpose for you.
That purpose is not and never will be,
for you to end your own life.
I know that because I am here today.
These words I'm telling you,
they aren't just pulled out of the air.
I'm telling you this,
because I can,
because someone cared.
I'm telling you this,
on purpose,
so that you remember,
and trust,
that you are loved and not alone.
...
Please, Please don't forget that.
Not really written with a rhymey-poetry style, but still heartfelt nonetheless. Please talk to someone, I did.

My head is a montage of teens staring at their ceilings,
devoid of all life
and at a loss of all feeling
except pain and suffering beyond their years.
Screaming and shouting drowning their ears,
coming from themselves, their parents, their siblings, their friends.
Facing, developing, becoming their fears.
Picking flower petals and personalities.
Tear-stained wrists, blood-filled cheeks.
Love and hate, life and death.
Soft and rough, easy and tough.
Future and present.
Faceless, nameless
children, kids.
The people of the future, broken by the past.
Newly-named 'The Now'. Right now.
Kiss their best friends, yes.
The party-goers.
"Love who you are."
"Pay for nothing."
Always pay the price.

BUT YOU ARE A WRITER
AND YOUR HEART DOESNT
FEEL THE WAY YOU WANT IT TOO
AND YOUR MIND DOESNT
WORK IN ONE SPECIFIC WAY
AND YOUR MOUTH DOESNT
SAY ALL THE RIGHT WORDS
THOUGH YOUR HAND SPEAKS
THEM FOR YOU
BUT YOU,
ARE A WRITER

Sour Patched Kid
Whatever happened to the moments
we lived for
the moments we lived from
electrifying lives
currents of passion
high voltage that knew no resistance

what do I have to do?
to feel the surge
to feel the spark
to feel alive again?

Is it in the tomes?
Is it in the songs?
Do the muses hold it in the walls?
Is it inside of me?

Searching for the switch
to send me back to passion
To make me feel charged again
to make me feel in charge again

promises to keep
A wonderful evening I spent, trying in vain
(Wonderful, for I was alone with the sound of rain)
To find a word that would describe you,
And by some luck rhyme with 'pain' (that’s my pain) too.
Though I had my doubts about what I stood to gain,
Devoting my precious loneliness to your memory;
I understand now it was a hope that you'd someday see
That we could have been happy, if for once you believed me.

Just Melz
She shouted from the roof tops
Her love for him
And how it would never stop

He simply stared at her
In utter shock
nobody could ever love me
Or so he thought...

She smiled with her arms spread apart
Waiting for a response

He stood there silently
Unable to move but wanting to walk
Walk away from the lies
Cause he'd been hurt too many times

She begged and pleaded
Trying to make him believe
It's the truth she said

But he couldn't respond
Simply turned around to leave
women only hurt me
Was all he could believe
Too much pain and abuse
For those lies to become the truth

She sunk inside herself
Filled with pain and so many tears
After years of trying
She finally faced her fears
Only to be hit with rejection
Imperfections of love
Shown at there finest
She couldn't stand her thoughts...

He slowed his walk
Thought about the past
Suddenly came to realize
This life is your last
And there on that roof top
He may have finally found some hope
So he stopped his walk
Turned around to accept the truth
Only to find
That she had jumped off...
