O Pain, O pain
It's Such a shame
Im Drowning in my tears
Im going insane

Help me, Help Me Someone please
I can't do this on my own
I need you....... Im Calling for you
Do you hear me?  
Does anyone hear me?
Im d  r    i    f     t      i       n         g  away, do you see me?

Its getting darker
Now darker

Im coming back
What is this I see?
Is that me?
I did it
Now, I'm free
You won't have to see me
Never to Bother you
Never to mess with you again

I cried for help did you hear me?, did you see me?
I needed you did you not believe me .
Im gone now, *Free

Im breaking and crumbling
Dont leave dont go
I want you
I need you
Are you happy somewhere else
Ill be waiting here
Because your the only thing that makes me happy
Im not giving up
You complete me

Here
It was all here
Find me here
Help me here
Lead me here
Guide me here
Love me here
Kiss me here
Touch me here
Heal me here
Leave me there

Make a mark
Show your presence
Do what you deserve

We are all Human
The same blood runs through us
Do what we deserve

We can all make a difference
Choose to show we matter
Establish Attendance
Before we shatter

Make our marks
Follow dreams
Before one Embarks
And goes to extremes

Show that we care
Feel Someones Love
Each of us is rare
So fly like a Dove

Do not give up
Keep chasing
Flow like water from a cup
God is not replacing

Be yourself
You will not be held down
If you love oneself
So put on your crown

For you are Your own
Each of has a right
Standing we are not alone
Shine Your Life

We all have a purpose
A Right to be free
Life can act as a Circus
Make your plea

When you finish
Be able to say you conquered
Become your own Minish
Allow to be Honored

We all Have our rights

Rights of ourself

Rights of us all

One thing separates You from Me
In the end, I will be able to say
That I Finally

*Did It

A name on a list
I sit here staring at my ship
I can sail away
And leave it all behind
To a better place,
where theyll be clear skies
Instead of all these dark times
I await the day I drop the pain,
all my sorrows insane
The only Anker i have left,
is being pulled up,
till its just another thing thats walked away.
Behind i see all memory
in front i see serenity
but now i see just you and me.

Im a word in a book
Key on the page
Almond in a can
Line on a field
Mark on a court
Flame in a fire
Drop in the ocean
Cloud in a sky
Flake in the snow
and most importantly,
A Name on Your list

There is a moment that will haunt you,
That will break everything you've built up.
When you realize you were born to fly
But your feet are chained to the ground.
And somehow you're living a dream
But you still feel like dying sometimes,
And each day hangs on the edge of a blade.
Now the sun is shining and the birds are singing
And there are pieces of yourself that you will never get back.

Missing You...

Lay in my arms,
I Want To Be Safe,
A Place Of No Harm,
I Need Your Embrace,
Take Me By The Hand,
And Look Into My Eyes,
You're My girl,
I Know You Don't Tell Lies,
I'm Tired Of All These People,
Who Try To Get In Our Way,
I'm Tired Of All The People,
Who Ruin Our Days,
I Want My Dreams To Come True,
Sitting On Hill And Watching The Sunset,
It Would Be Just Me And You,
Neither Of Us Would Ever Be Upset,
Put Your Hand On Mine,
Seal The Last Seconds Of Light With A Kiss,
Our Hearts Would Be Intwined,
Exchange My Worries For Bliss,
And As The World Around Us Gets Dark,
Let Us Enjoy The Natural Light,
Let Our Love Embark,
On a Journey Unending Is Where We Will Start,
Just Me, Just You, SomeWhere No One Can Stop Our Hearts.

Poems of hope
Poems of gifts
Poems of anything that fits

Poems of laughter
Poems of fun
Even poems about the sun

Poems of hatred
Poems of anger
Even poems about a hanger

Poems of sadness
Poems of joy
Even poems about a boy

Poems Are called poems
But are poems really poems.?

My mind runs like a waterfall on a stormy night
Smooth yet distressed

Would anybody remember if i left today
would they see that chair missing in the class

Does anyone see me now
or am i just slowly F  a  d  i  n   g

The things to which i hold are are shaking
My hans hard grasp sofening

What would they say if i was gone today

Would they say anything, would they notice?

Remembered by the blood, or by the words
Remembered by the sight, or the memories
Remembered by the Love, or hate

Eternal sleep would bring here for after peace
Someone to take my non existent place

Would i Even be remembered?

I step aside from my Blind Eye
To look around

The windows shattered
the candles lit
and the walls are full of holes

Mirrors are in pieces
Ropes are hung
and the Knife is ready to go

When has it been enough
When have i been enough

The prejudices of an intellectual mind
surround my circumfrance and bring me to tears

The words of hurt are lashed out
and the Names are called

The emotional is to my brain
and the physical to my heart

I look around and see what i have done
The Things i've done ,
yet sorry is never enough

My pain is vague and my eyes are red
The curtains closed and the note left to be read

I walk along this empty line
alone wanted and afraid

Scared of the things i've done
and of what i may become

The dark night hollows
the wind shakes

My hurt is massive
and my clothes drenched

The final words of which i wish to say are...

**Sorry for which i have done.

I wish that you would know me
I do
Know all the things that I've been through

My life I'd wish for you to see
I do
Remember how you looked at me

I wish you would know how much I loved you
I do
And how I strive to feel brand new

I wish I could be with you
I do
And you wanted that too

I wish you saw how I looked at you
I do
And all the things I'd do too

I wish you could be here with me
I wish this was a possibility
But that ended on that day
The day that you had planned and saved
The day I lost you
Lost you when you lost your fight
That fight was with your life
The life you felt no more
The life you had no longing  for
And I sit here alone with my heart still torn .

Tick, Tock
The hands circle the clock.
Holding my breathe
one, two, three, and four
until it gets harder.
Chained under the confinement of society unable to breathe
pressured by the waters all around me.
If i were to stop holding on would anybody know?
Im pretty low,
so far from shallow.
My cries and tears, neither seen nor heard
tears mesh with the waters below.
Would anybody know?
Would they know the pains that happen here,
the voices i hear.
all the way down here.
Would they hear the screams?
or the plea for help?
Does anybody care,
is there anybody there?
Ticking is the clock
Counting down the time. . .

Can we Ride off?
Scurry?
Wander?

Never to be seen
Just you
Just me
and all of our dreams

Oh The things we'd see
Animals
Places
And all things in between?

Just You
Just Me
Is all i see
Far away, in my dreams.

Can we Ride off?
Scurry?
Wander?

Never to be seen

Just me
and all of our dreams

Oh The things we'd see

Oh The things we'd see

Is all i see
Far away, in my dreams.

We stand here both in pergatory.
My only failure will be my respiratory
You're my air
You don't even care
That without you
I gasp
I gulp
I yearn for oxygen
But then again without
I'm dead

We have created a vulnerability
Too bold to stare down.
A thickness in the air,
Our lungs cannot share.

Between our bodies lies a desire,
Between our eyes, a fire.
Our hearts, they beat,
Rhythms too complex to comprehend--

The impulse. The intrigue. The beauty.

Walk
and as you walk, look
and as you look, think
and as you think, dream
and as you dream, believe
and as you believe, achieve
and as you achieve, relieve
and as you relieve, *walk

No mom
No family
No love

What did I do?

Tears
Sorrow
Hatred

What did I do?

Love
Hate
Depression

What did I do?

I strive to be the best I can
Yet I fall short
I try to help you
Yet I fall short

What did I do?

The things I want
I can't have
The things I need
I still can't have

What did I do?

Crys
Fears
Hopelessness

What did I do?

What did I do to deserve these things
Things that will not go away
Away is with my life
Life filled with no light
Light Id wish to see
But the only thing you'll see is no more of me .
