I can't see the ending
My eyes are fading
What can wake me from this Nightmare
Yeah everyone gets sad sometimes
Has some bad nights
When you try to talk it out
It gets waved off to the shelf
Its just a bad dream
Every single person has them who sleeps
But little do they know, don't they know
Most people wake up.
And don't mess up what I'm saying,
I know its not all the same for every type of pain.
But for those with brown flowers in their hair
Or a broken soul, stuck in despair
Who are stuck in this nightmare
You're in too deep
You're forgetting you're asleep
And these lies and these fears become you're reality
Numbing the pain and your mind with seeds
The monster who hides underneath
Starts to slither and creep to the pillow where you sleep
He infects your mind, your thoughts, and your dreams
Whispers things in your ears that no girl or boy should believe
And you can't wake up, at least not by yourself
When the light from the window tries to drag you from this hell
But you roll over in your cozy sheets, switch over another rosy cheek.
Continue slipping into your own alternate reality.
And its hard to admit to the truth, it was all in your head
The dreams that haunted you in your bed, you felt dead
But you are not alone, whether you're without a home or famous and well-known
Whether you still dread going to school or everyone thinks you're cool
You are not alone, And you are loved.
Don't give up.
You scribble notes in the abyss,
While others dreams of true loves kiss
It goes like this
I feel like demons are attacking me
Inside out
Don't even realize its happening
These lies that they feed me
That suicide will free me
They know that it tempts me
Why can't I be happy
The world is full of misery
Full of pain and children screaming
Out for an answer to their unending suffering
My time here is only ticking
Lets just break the clock
Smash it to the ground
Stop gasping for air and let myself drown
My friends and family say they love me
But whats the point of being when I'll never be happy
Just give me a sign
Tell me to keep going
This voice in my heart
This wind that keeps rushing
I think I know who you are
This voice in my heart
Keeps saying you love me
And to keep holding on
Theres something greater you have for me thats worth all this suffering
You say
I know what its like to hurt and to bleed
Believe me I know
But I also know and speak victory
Over you and these lies that you're living in
I've broken the chains and the door to this prison
So stop living in sin, addiction, know that I'm in to the end
On the cross, I hung broken.
I know what you're thinking…
What do you have to do with me?
What can you tell me that's worth still living
The words "I don't care" have been put on repeat
I've heard it before, from when I screamed in my sleep
Just trust me.
You CAN be free.
But it takes time. Just find that reason.
If you're willing to listen I'll tell you mine.
Jesus Christ.
He's not some made up nursery rhyme for the weak mind.
He is my saviour, comforter, empowering source of life.
God, the creator, might sound a bit far
But He wants to come down to where you are and show you his scars.
He wants to find pleasure in you and you to find pleasure in Him.
Its a relationship, thats all it is.
The hole in your heart you try to fill with alcohol
Drugs, *** and success
But its his presence in your life that will save you from death.
It took me a lot of strength
Aguing and self-hate
But when I let down my walls of my shame
Got down on my face and prayed
I found that grace.
At first I didn't want it, I felt like a fraud
But if you don't do it for yourself, do it for God
Because if you follow through with your thoughts
Out of every single person,
He'd be the most distraught.
That's all I have to say
You can take this poem and be on your way.
I just challenge you with this.
Before you take your life away
Promise me this
You'll get down on your knees and pray
And listen to what the God who created you has to say.
