Can you see them?
The cracks, they are growing
How long before I shatter?

I'm falling to pieces, do I hide it well?
With dark circles and bags beneath my eyes
Can I make it through another day on my feet

So paranoid and cold as usual
Does no one see the truth?
With so many lies, how long can I keep this act up

I'm breaking from the inside out
On a path of self-destruction
Will I open up to stop the breaking, for self-preservation?

These shields are rotting,
My defenses falling
Will anyone strike mow that I'm so vulnerable?

What's happening to me?  
I thought I was stronger but my mind betrays me,
My scars shout in vengeance

I'm falling, breaking down
Finally reached my end
Is this where my story ends?
Javier Garza Dec 2014
Feel this cold embrace
let it surround you
At the end of the day you have nothing
No use om breathing on
You've lost the fight
Breaking down until you snap,
Wish to stop  the shattering?
Just accept this freezing embrace
Cold steel can surely split the pain
If not, at least purge your soul
Javier Garza Dec 2014
I won't speak out of term
This pain sealed within I will hide
Just to make you happy, just to keep the peace

I will not show weakness
These tears  I shed, I'll hide from the world
This I do to show you strength, to appease you

I will not rebel
This poet and artist will remain to the shadows, dormant from all
Just to not catch your sinister eyes
Just to not be hated

I will not be happy
This homosexual will remain dead
Just to not cease to exist
Just to be noticed

This life I will not cherish
I'll seal the casket to fall asleep
Just to escape the searing pain that you give
Just to at atast, obtain peace
Javier Garza Dec 2014
You dig them up from the grave, you send them to break my resolution
You always bring on the streams of pain

Never once cared to show love
You're a rusted blade that digs deeper with every insult

You bring down my masks
Show the true face behind the smiles the laughs
Breaking down my walls is what you do

Never once did show pride in me
You cut through the stitches
Reach the veins to slice them all

You make me back to that little boy who wanted love
******* me down
You take my strength away is what you do

Always bringing rage in the end, its all been about you
As you burn deeper into my bone your thirst rises

Rage is what you instill in me, leaving behind a shadow of resentment
You put out the fire which I worked so hard to light up is what you do

Never bringing hope, always at the bottom  of the darkness
You're just another rusted blade
Another cursed scar
Javier Garza Dec 2014
All I ever wanted was to be protected
To have someone who could defend me
All I ever did was fight on my own
A war of all against one

Always thought I needed no one
Didn't think I could be so weak again
But seeing you proved me wrong
Where were you when I needed you?
Did you not care that your son fought the world alone?

Wore the mask each day
Told the lies to everyone
Until even I believed them
But the nightmares came,
Where all I had was myself
No one to show me what it meant to be a man

With no role model,
I found my own path
I pretended to not care,
But instill cried when I heard you never wanted me, you left me for them

You as much as my mother both broke before I could even stand
You took away my parents
Left me to myself
Stole the arms which were meant to hold me when the storm came

Well the storm had passed
And I still needed you
But now, it's I who doesn't want you
So leave again
You're a stranger
Nothing but another disappointment
Just a long forgotten nightmare
Javier Garza Dec 2014
Lost myself, fell from once mighty throne
Became a fragile glass boy
Yet I never gave up
Kept on fighting
Even if in the end I made mistakes

Always hidden, mysteries that held power
Lost it all as my castle crumbled
I became human
Yet I still fought this war
Belligerent as ever, I strove to win
Although I only ended losing almost all that I love

Always smirking, confidence on display
All faded away
As the truth arose
It was all fake, lies I made to stay strong,
Still cried when I accepted the truth
Still stood as tall as possible,
Awaiting the next challenge,
Even though I failed

Once feared and hated,
Others began to sympathize when they learn of my silver scars,
The weakness was on display
And I began to seek help
Let those in who loved me
Put each broken glass back together
Still cracked, but strong enough to stay together
Javier Garza Dec 2014
When will you learn to keep your mouth shut?
Continuously you shout and spit on others.
Don't you see that that which you hate the most is what you really are?
A ****,a  loner, a bully.

Ever wonder why you're so alone?
It is because all you do is lash out and sting those who love you.
Anyone wishing to get past your barriers, you strike without remorse.

Finished crying out your eyes?
Bending to the will of the blades?
Confirm what we all know.
You're weak and a coward.
Too selfish to see beyond yourself.
Happy now that you have no one?

When will you see things as they really are?
You are nothing.
Only a broken waste of space.
The ones that you love, also loved you.
An ungrateful *****.
Do you honestly believe that bleeding will keep them here?

Are you finally pleased?
You lost everyone that could possibly love you.
Now that you have nothing.
Not even the blade to comfort you.
What will you do?
Dying would be too easy.
Not enough punishment.
So live a life that is dead and filled with agony.
You brought this upon yourself.
