If I fade,
Who will notice
If I die,
Who will care

These wounds that bleed,
Oh can't you see?
They aren't scars,
But gashes from which I'm being drained

If I cry,
Who will wipe my tears away
If I fall,
Who will pick me up

These lies I weave,
You just can't see
Fall into this façade,
And you will let me decay

If I scream my demons out,
Who will listen?
If I drown in crimson stains of mistakes,
Who will save me?

These monsters that lacerate my being,
You just don't see,
The dark that lurks behind my eyes;
You'll only see when the little old me finally dies

I just bear through and endure because after the dark storm that tempts me with false promises of sweet release, I realize that after the dark storm, the clouds part to reveal the sun or moon and shine light and hint on a beauty that says that it gets better.

My life is just an extended poem. I'm a philosopher, artist, poet and a being with secrets hidden. When I decide to open up, the richest words come out, the deepest lines are said.

It's how I feel all the time. As if I stand alone even when I have friends who care and will defend me, I feel as if I can't trust them. That even though they'll expose their soul, heart and darkest secrets, I can't because they simply won't understand, care, or see how I feel. I'm in a prison and my cell is my mind. My warden is the solitude that seals the pain hidden behind the silver scars I have. Each tear shed is just a sign of weakness I must hide from all because if I show that I'm human, feel, care, love, hurt, and cry, everyone will be disappointed and look down at me. That I can't shred their image of me. That I am strong enough to be their Savior, when in fact, I'm slowly crumbling in the dark. And the only proof of it would be hidden within my art, poetry, and silver mistakes.

I have a shriveled and bitter soul of an aged being, but the heart of child

Life isn't always fair but we must make the most of what we can, enjoy what we have, love those who we have and not mourn the dead, the living are the ones with trials up ahead whereas the dead are finally at peace and won't hurt ever again.

The silent ones are targeted
Not because they are weak
But because they're the strongest ones
The ones who see all
Know all
Keep ***** secrets guarded
And suffer in the light of the moon

The silent ones are the ones to be wary off
Their eyes see into your soul
Their pain builds and builds
And when their soul is finally broken
They will destroy all

The silent ones are the ones forgotten
Not because they are unimportant
But because they're the ones with powerful words that are never spoken
They hold the most wisdom
Analyze the most
Think the most
