After more and more time we spend
With each other
We start to feel connected
Bonded by the same occurrences
Linked by the same pain

You know how I feel
By feeling the same
Always knew what to say
No need to be ashamed

We're sharing a lot of history
Been experiencing quite a lot
You might be the only one
That truly understands
My chasms caused by society.
Sometimes there is only that one person, that can really relate to what you're going through.
I saw a picture of you and me together,
And I realized that I'll never  hold you like that again.

You'll never be there to hide my pain behind violent bouts of laughter;
Your warm neck will never offer me comfort anymore.

Of course, I was sad,
But then I wondered, why?
Why should I be sad when you're not here?
When you don't exist anymore?
When all the atoms that made up you are in the mud
Just like you wanted?

Of course, you didn't deserve to go,
But then I wondered, why?
Why should you not go to the place where we all will be eventually?  
When that is where you were gonna end up anyway?
When you knew that you had someone to love and be loved by
Just like you wanted?

Of course, everyone tells me it's okay to grieve,
But then I wondered, why?
Why should I be sad about something I knew would happen?
Something that I had been preparing for?
Something that would take all your woes and miseries away
Just
Like
You
Wanted?
Death isn't a part of life; life is the wonderful journey that we take in our own separate ways, and death is the common destination.
I can't see anything
All I see is black
I can't feel anything
All I feel is numb
I can't hear anything
It's like someone pulled a plug
And my heart feels like it will explode
But all those around me shrug
I don't know what to do
Its like someone wants me dead
I don't understand
Why are they so cruel
Maybe if I just run
Maybe then they will not think me a fool

I am just a nobody
A freak around a town
They don't care about me
But that's alright
I will survive
How many places will I go in order to stay alive
I am in need a place to stay
But no one really cares

I am a runaway girl
A child in need
But they just turn their head
I don't know what to do
I have to survive
I feel so surrounded
So I take a deep breath and dive

Who knows maybe I'll survive
I try to believe that everything will be okay
Though as things get harder
I forget that I'm stronger
And as the night goes and fades away
I remember that it's just the dawn before the day

I have a hope and a fear and a dream
A heart that will ache and squeeze and scream
A soul that will twist with agony
Though through it all I know that everything will be kept alive
Because I know I will survive

A night that fades from dusk to dawn
It's just the moon that rises before the sun
How many times I want to howl
Though everyone believes it is because I'm foul

They don't know the pain that I feel
The hurt that I harbor inside
They don't understand that this is my life
That I am stuck and cannot hide

Though I am strong
I have to believe that not everything is as it seems
Because as soon as things look up I know
The devil will throw in a hook
I'll get trapped and hooked and snared
A thousand tries but fails in one way
A million ways a billion ways
A nonstop push and pull
An eternity of pain

I shall survive because I keep my faith alive
Those that doubt will be blind and stumble about
I cannot dream but hope for ways out

I know it's only a twilight of days to come
A new way to make the pain go numb
So I shall sing and shout and dance around
To hope and dream that the new feeling is found
Not really morbid but I wrote this long ago...with some edits of course.
You told me you loved me
Then left me in the cold
Frozen and numb
I ached to be told

Tell me you love me
Just one last time
So I can remember
That I'm just fine

Don't tell me you love me
I'm tired of lies
I'd rather just cut
All of our ties

You once said you loved me
And I was a fool
I believed you
Not knowing I was just a tool

You once said you hate me
It was a tone of endearment
But those words you said
Was not worth the tears that I shed

You told me you loved me
I was an idiot to believe
You said I wasn't good enough
But I still didn't think you would leave

Now I'm ripped to shreds
You told me that you loved me
But then you cut me up
The tears I've shed will never let me see

That you once loved me
I am the
pen,
Jesus is my
Ink.
No Jesus no life.
It comes from within,
When your body fails,
Your spirit can uplift you.
When the body weakens,
Its only strength lies in a positive spirit.
Being ill or in sickness,
Is the time to tap strength from your inner being.
Time to hold on to faith,no matter how deep the pain maybe,
Faith in your Creator can never fail you,
He knows your pain,
But He still wants you to tell Him about it,
Speak life upon your body.
God loves you.
He'll never forsake you,your prayers never fall on deaf ears.
Endure,stay strong,hold on.Have faith.
Proverbs 18:14 A man's cheerful heart gives him strength when he is sick.You can't keep going if you have a broken spirit.
- for everyone,especially those who are unwell.GOD bless u!

Looking into the windows along the streets
Who am I?
Who is that person staring back?
Familiar looking but do I really know you?
What is really on your mind?

Tell me your deepest thoughts!
I wanna know everything about you.
What do you really care about?
What do you feel inside?

What is causing all your pain?
Who are you slowly falling in love with?
What are your greatest fears?
Will i ever get to know myself?!
This is s very odd poem. It is supposed to reflect the question of how good you know yourself. Take a moment and look inside yourself. Take the time to figure out what you feel and truly want.

Deep inside where all the pain is hidden
Being afraid to talk to others
Showing weakness is forbidden
Needing help, nobody bothers
To show any sign of sympathy
There are a lot of people out there, who need help. Yet not a lot of people take the time to actually help and take the time to listen. Watch out for those, who hide a lot of pain under fake smiles. Sometimes the people that smile the most are the ones carrying around the biggest burden of them all. Not everyone is strong enough to make it through by themselves.

Everybody is feeling doubtful from time to time but we could achieve so much more if we weren't standing in our own way...
