Guilt
gray rain Jul 2016
Sorry for not going to see you today
When you're always there for me
And I'm crying, actually crying
with actual tears.
Whilst I get told to make more of an effort
because you won't be here forever
thinking about all the times I walk past your house
and didn't say hello.
I say sorry and usually I make the same mistake over and over and over.
Because it never seems real
it will never seem real
until I walk past your house
and it's empty.
I avoided my family all evening
because I could hear your name and ambulance from upstairs
and I didn't go to see you and make sure you were well.
I didn't go to see you
I didn't go to see you
replays in my head
because I won't see you tomorrow
'cause you'll be in a hospital bed.
They will never be seen in that house again.

When thoughts stop
causing a mind block
time carries on

School Is Confused
gray rain Jun 2016
You can teach us about the Nazis and how they killed the jews
but you can't teach us *** ed without permission. What are you? Confused?

You can teach us not to do something and what is right and wrong
but do not explain, so ignorance is becoming of the young.

You don't listen to what we need to learn you just read it from the book
but you don't realise it's not all in there. You read but do not look.

You teach us for the test. You make us decided before we know
but under pressure we cannot find ourselves just empty shells so...
we leave the place with nothing. No direction. Nowhere to go.
I wrote this mainly for the first two stanzas.

Had To Go

no emotion shown
I begged you please
but you had to go

Future
gray rain May 2016
I was thinking about my future 
and what I want to do
but I found I have no interests 
strong enough to hold on to.
Wrote this yesterday but couldn't post it

First Day Of School
gray rain Aug 2016
The first day back from the summer break and guys without ties have to buy one by Thursday.

I got away with breaking rules with my hair and how tight my trousers were but what are they actually going to say.

It's still summer so why are we even at school? Everyone is tired and just wants to sleep another day.
Kinda **** but I'm tired and it's not even 7pm yet

Dead Inside
gray rain Apr 2016
Always relaxed, barely stressed
but inside your a nervous mess.
no one sees inside you.
no one sees that you are two.
no one sees that you hide,
the just think your open all the time.
everyone thinks you have hope
when inside you cannot cope.
everyone sees that your alive.
when reality is your dead inside.

feminine masculinity
gray rain Jun 2022
Everything seems so shallow,
like my masculinity is my purpose,
like a shield to protect everyone around me,
but I'm only protecting myself.
when no one needs protecting.
I don't know who I am anymore
The past few months I have changed a lot, no longer scared to experience my femininity and while being masculine is a characteristic of my experience as a woman since for the past decade. Maybe it's having no female friends forcing me to look within for that side of myself maybe getting older makes me safe enough to express myself.

Write The Words

and tell them to all

Vision
gray rain Apr 2016
In my reflection
late last night
I had a vision
you and I
we walked at a slow pace
I never caught your name
I never saw your face
so as a vision you remain
gray rain Jul 2016
Let people believe
And let people not.
If they don't believe the same,
Don't let them be shot.

Be proud to believe,
Believe in Gods name.
Don't **** though
It's not a game.

Or is it a game?
God said 'do not ****'
So when that person you shot, drops
You went against Gods will!

Defying the Lord (Under what name you want)
Give them a gun
But they take the shot.
Gods game they will not have won.
Sorry if this offends just war shouldn'tbe supported by religion and yet people stillkill for oposing their religious views.

Teachers
gray rain Apr 2016
Savage teachers
education preachers
their "funny" jokes
and words that provoke
a reaction from the class
won't make us fail or pass
but they keep us entertained
they should have been comically trained
I don't know if at any other school this happens
but the teachers at my school make jokes about students.

No One's Around
gray rain May 2016
Full of people who tear us down.
Leave us broken on the ground.
Leave us alone to feel the pound.
Our Heads submerged as we drown.

This place allowed us to make a sound!
But this sound is silent when no one's around.

Boundaries

Limitations  hinder our chances of doing what we really want so why do we keep setting boundaries?

In The Dark

Dark streets unlit
lampposts don't hang

Alone But Not Alone
gray rain Jul 2016
I'm alone but not alone.
There are so many people to talk to
But I'm sat here on my own
In the dark with no where to go.
In my home
But no one will know.
Or no one will care
it's not like I'm doing anything
It's not like I can share
it with anyone, no one is listening.
The loneliness I have to bare
but talking doesn't take away the fact I'm just existing.

Thoughts On Religion
gray rain Jul 2016
I thought I believed in a God,
a superior being who decides when we drop.
Then I read His book, His word
and thought it was inconsistent
because how can something so 'perfect' have mistakes.

So I stopped believing
kept my negative outlook because why be positive in the end we're not receiving
I didn't have a goal to reach
and my old views were no longer mine
I wasn't into the'one life' thing and wanted more takes.

Then I was confused
because again I changed my views.
I unsure what to believe anymore.
I wanted an afterlife and I believe in it too
but wouldn't an omnibenevolent God let me choose.

And can't decide whether He's real or made up
because I like to think there's truth in every holy book.
And I'd like to think I get a choice
but I'm mortal and unsure if it's true.
So I'll continue believe either way I win and loose.

Camera Man
gray rain Apr 2016
Camera man
not a fan
rode with them in their van
living life without a plan
he started his journey back in jan
he didn't know how long it would span
he wasn't a fan
he was just the camera man

life's a mess
gray rain Apr 2016
So my life's a mess
I guess
I don't even know
who are friends
Or who are foe
I'll have to make mends
so I can carry on
or soon I will be gone
I don't know what I'm doing
in this race of life, I'm loosing
slowly sinking a ship
with my name on it
loosing this battle to my mind
I just wish my mind could be kind
and I could control how I feel
and my life will no longer be a blur
but be real

Issues
gray rain Apr 2016
I'm insecure
just like you
I try not to show it
but you do

I feel the pressure
if not more than you
you're innocent minded
and mine is like a zoo

I have too much control
you speak your mind
you're confident
something I'm trying to find

I understand
you don't
I have your issues
plus my own
This is a comparison between my friend and I.

Camoflage
gray rain Apr 2016
I need to stop being so abstract
No one understands what I am trying to say
I need to stop camouflaging my words
because the message is interpreted in a different way
I need to stop disguising my thoughts with a mask
and say what I ment to say
I need to stop shielding myself
from people who I know will hate
I need to be free
but every time I try my words get caught up and the message starts to hide
and the only thing that gets lost is another part of me
but no one sees that because it's hidden on the inside

Run
gray rain Apr 2016

Over-Exaggeration
gray rain Sep 2016
I couldn't be bothered to do it
So left it until I was
Then I was busy with ****
And it started to build up

Then I started drowning
Until my head was covered
And alarm bells started sounding
As everything collapsed around

And I have to start now
Before more damage is done
But I don't know how
I haven't been feeling like writing for a while. School is overwhelming and I have way too much homework that I can't keep up with.
gray rain Jun 2016
I remembered the words
but forgot the verbs.
Overall it went well.
Voy a baloncesto
was where I fell.
I can't go basketball, I know
but the rest was fine.
6 minutes of Spanish; I did my time.

Words Can Hurt
gray rain Jun 2016
I am cracked
I am broken
your words attack
when they are spoken

they made me fall
pushed me to the floor
your words they call
then push me out the door

they're just an act
but they feel so real
they were a pact
now they're a broken deal

you caused this all
your words, they surround
they pushed me off the wall
and left me on the ground

New Outlooks
gray rain Aug 2016
When you begin to understand that life is more than a boat that sails on the calmest seas.

When you begin to understand it's not a perfect world and change won't happen even if you say please.

When you realise the government only want to be wealthy and don't want to support you.

When you realise the prime minister doesn't believe you should have the right you do.

Ignorance is great
knowledge makes you hate
but I'd rather know the truth
than not know what to do
than to trust the companies
and political parties
that don't support me or my rights
who support war and choose to fight.
And if you know and think it's great
then I don't hate you cause to hate would be to join the state.

Alone
gray rain Apr 2016
There is comfort in being alone
your thoughts surround you
they become your home
you can remember those you lost
and those you want to meet
those you haven't seen in a while
those who make you want to smile
you can reflect on life
and whether a decision you made was wise
or you could think of the things you want to do
because you're the only one there to stop you

I Can't Speak
gray rain Apr 2016
My thoughts twist
When I'm about to speak
And my head changes what I want to say
It's like I'm scared
Of my thoughts
But I'm not
I want to say something
But I'm hiding in a shell
A shell of fear
A barrier
Between my head and heart
That with 3 words could be gone
I want to speak
But I can't
And it's killing me

A Man And His Wife
gray rain Apr 2016
You pick and choose your way through life
until the day you met your wife
your eyes fell in love
and that was enough
for a while
whilst you still had a smile
but you were waiting for the day
when you could finally say
you were only trying to cause a stir
and you didn't really love her
she was your wife
she was your darling
in love all your life
but when you turned your back you were snarling
I really don't know where this came from.
I wrote it kind of randomly
356 · Apr 2016
Where You Stand
gray rain Apr 2016
You don't understand
I guess you never will
all alone I stand
but in the presence of you

you don't know the thoughts
that are running through my head
you don't know the thoughts
of when my mind is red

You don't understand
I guess you don't need too
where you stand
you're not alone
so these thoughts do not affect you

Written On The Walls

People Are Beautiful

People are beautiful once you look past their skin
Because outward apperance means nothing
You never know how much hope they could bring
If you separate yourself before you begin

For no reason
Other than to hear your screams

I Go Outside Today
gray rain Aug 2016
Today is the day I leave
'cause there's so much more to see
The sun? The fields, the trees
Or that's what I believe

Hopefully the sun is there
But I'm not one to care
'cause as pale as I am
The sun doesn't have to share
Its rays

And the fields and trees
Are just things that are green
Although I've never seen
That's what I believe
I'm going camping for a week so will try post something but I might not be able to.
As much as I say I don't go outside I do.
