I am not who I seem
I am not a good thing
I am million broken pieces
I am an empty evil thing
I am a wall built around myself
I am protecting the things hidden
I have a million different masks
To hid a thousand fears
I have buried so deep
I will never find myself
I am not who I seem
I am not a good thing
I am a million broken pieces
Of a boy never seen

Dark Shades
Standing still,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Silent tears,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Emotions high,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Dark box,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Thousand graves,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Lonely here,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Life’s Ruin,
Dark shades on a lovely day.

Dark shades,
Can’t see it’s a lovely day.

Don’t Find the Time to Hide
To Hide From Life
From Your Responsibilities,
Your Wants
Dreams

Don’t Find Time To Stop
To Stop and to Doubt
And To Lie
To Cheat
Question

Don’t Find Time To Suppress
To Suppress Your Creativity
And Your Skills
Your Intelligence
Emotion

Don’t Find Time.
To Let Others Hold You Back
To Let Others Restrict You
To Let Yourself Doubt You
To Let Yourself Change You

Stay You,
And Stay Yourself.
Since My Last Two Poems Were Kind Of Dark, Here's a Motivational One!

What do you mean
two personalities?

I understand
the hiding.

What do you mean
I’m hiding the good?

I understand
no escaping.

Don’t you know
life is pointless?

I can’t help but break
at the thought of nothing

You think what
you say affects me?

My anger is a shadow
Always there, sometimes you just can’t see it.

I don’t really care
about what has happened to me.

I try not to think very hard of it,
If I do the tears fight there hold.

What do you mean
two personalities?

I don’t have two
I have many.

I have run from fears
For too many years
Not knowing if you care
But say that, I don’t dare

With lies people spit out
I am beginning to doubt
I don’t know what to do
When the hurt seeps through

All I can do is sip my tea
And pretend to be happy
But on the inside
I have a different side

Words drop like a constant rain,
Drowning out all that is humane

Words like rain.

At first start small
Not effecting any at all

Words like rain.

But as this rain grows in quantity and might
The damage, a growing plight

Words like rain.

When raining, you can’t hide
And when drowning is too painful they chose suicide

Words like rain.

Yet, rain can help and heal,
Just as it can ruin and ****.

You loved me,
I loved you too.
You hurt me,
I shattered you.
You won't let me,
Pick the pieces back up.
Instead you let,
A year pass us.

Your not shattered,
You're now my friend.
Then you loved me,
I loved you too.
I hurt you,
It shattered you.
You won't let me,
Pick the pieces back up.
It hurts me,
To be shut out.

We don't talk,
Or smile,
Or wave.
You found a way,
To pick up the pieces,
Yourself.

The Moon’s dim light
Shines on the world’s plight

War on every land
Death by our own hand

While the Moon’s dim light
Shines on the world’s plight

We live a lie
As others die

Still the Moon’s dim light
Shines on the world’s plight

Ignorant to the death
As many take their last breath

Yet, the Moon’s dim light
Still shines on the world’s plight

— The End —
