The world is really only what we perceive it to be. I honestly believe nothing to be real. Only figments of a broken or even insane mind. How do we know what to believe when every other word leaving our lips is a lie.
Whether we lie to eachother, or even lie to ourselves, the world just continues to be an overflowing bucket of lies.
Like when a loved one dies, people say, time heals, or, it gets better, and we all say we're okay, but peel a layer back only to find pure misery beneath.
Because no matter how we try to mask the pain, with false attempts at moving on, and living in their memory,
You never stop missing them,
You never stop blaming yourself,
And not even for a second, do you stop wondering, if they knew how you really felt, and that all the anger was just emotion,
and as the saying goes, you really don't know what you got, till its gone,
and there really is no such thing, as moving on,
Sure, you pick up where you left off, and pretend you know how to move on, but they never leave your mind, ever, no matter what you do to get them out of your thoughts, they stay there.
Haunting your memory, and absolutely, no matter what you do, they'll never leave. Its a never dying presence of sorrow, that eats away at you, while theres nothing you can do to stop or even slow the process.
ughh,, times like this where I just want my mind to shut up.

Hooked on self destruction,
my mind was a tragedy at best,
but something in the back of my head,
says something different than the rest,
the small part of my mind,
in which hope lives,
the small part of me,
that believes life is meant to be lived,

Who cares about my past,
all the stupid **** I've done,
the best thing to do, to turn it all around,
is live in the now,
forget about all the things I've said,
about being a pessimistic nothing,
I'm kinda starting to realize,
I more than a bit of a something.
sorta just leaking my mental capabilities.

I'm runnin' round in circles, and I,
can't control my feet,
Yes, runnin' round in circles,
looking for something, never to be found,

Confused to the point of comatose,
my mind will soon shut down,
I'm just so sick and tired,
of runnin' around,
looking for somethin'
thats probably never to be found,

Feet hurt,
mind swells,
and I think its time to slow down,
for whats the point of running,
if you're running into the ground
just leaking some of the ever present thoughts in my everso cluttered mind.

As hot coffee slips down my throat,
and I write words for all to read,
I realize, there may be more than people see to me,
I may be more than a pessimistic tragedy,
to some,

And maybe to most I'm nothing, but tell me, what is it that they see,
that makes this statement ring true?
do they see the girl that just wants the world, to see her for what she really is,
because that's what you'd see,
that is if you took a moment, to look behind these blue eyes,
and see all the pain, as well as ambition, that lies beneath.
noo idea guys, enjoy.

I am alone here,
in the insanity that is my mind,
in the storm of thought that beat blindness into my eyes,
for you never really know, what there is to see,

All the sudden,
my voice runs dry,
like a lone wolf in the night, who has forgotten how to cry,
and there is no one here to dry these tears,
but myself,
and I have forgotten how my hands work,
yet I sit here and write,
curious in the making I do say,

How do we know what to believe,
for it seems honesty isn't the lastest fashion,
people would rather persuade you with useless distractions,
cycling you to believe what you hear,
never seeing whats really there..

I do say,
I am alone here,
with only this pen,
some paper,
and newborn tears.

I wrote this last night after I had finally given up on sleep.
only to fall asleep after I was finished.

Drag me by the heartstrings,
so I can learn to feel again,
so I no longer lay emotionless,
in this self diagnosed depression,

Beaten and broken in so many ways,
it was me who decided I need to change,
no longer will tears fall like acid rain,
because I'm just now remembering, I've got a life to maintain,

So go on, drag me by the heartstrings,
teach me to feel again,
I'm so sick of laying emotionless,
in this grave I dug,

Feels as if nothing is real anymore,
life is just a figment of my perception,
and im falling into the blackness of my imagination,
that can only draw light on the darkest thoughts,
in the **** nation,
I call my abyss of a mind,

Can we forget all the pain?
is it possible to pick up and move on, yet again?
or have I just gone insane,
is this really life?
or just the figment of a broken mind,

Please, I beg, drag me by the heartstrings,
teach me whats real again.
i have not a clue my friends. all i can say is. Enjoy.

Today you asked me,
what it is that I love most,
well I answered quite honestly you see,
but the answer I gave wasn't quite complete,

I love you,
the way you speak,
the way you look at me,
I love everything,
quite simple you see,
my darling, you complete me,

The way the sun shines in the daytime,
the way the stars complete the night sky,
and twinkle as the night goes by,
and the way I would love for you to hold me in the night,

The simplicity of the the way the sky is blue,
and as night falls, fades to black,
the way the tide rolls in, and retracts back,
my love for you is what keeps me going,

Staring up at the night sky,
I continue to realize,
that I can't picture myself,
without you,

It's just not something I can do,
its like a foreign concept,
you've been in my life for more than half a year,
and may I say my life has never been better,

I've said it before and I'll say it again,
you healed me,
you were the one to make me see,
the constant pain wasn't healing me,

Back to the point though,
have I told you I love you?
because I do,
you and only you.
I couldn't think of a better title,
But the title pretty much says it all,
I could've done better,
but the point is,
this was written with love,
about a special someone,
and all I can say,
is, I love you :)
