I want to be perfection
But think of all the pizza
I'd have to stop eating.
Oh God, the horror.
A tear

Nothing can be said to make it  better

A fear

What if she didn't wake up

A cut

Temporary numbness

Eyes closed shut

She doesn't care anymore

She bleeds

She feels pain but it's like a cure

It is this that she needs

Holds her to reality

And out of insanity

She doesn't know how long

But her only regret was being alone
Why do feelings hurt?
Making me feel lower than dirt
I've thought of learning to fly
But am always scared to try
The feeling of pain
That is not a gain
You can't go far
Without receiving a scar
You become shaded
Because you feel hated
My heart is so sore
I don't think I can do this anymore
I am ashamed
Life will never be the same
Now that I cut
The heart will stay shut
How do you cry?
I can only try
Pain is only a distraction
And still is only a fraction
Of what i feel inside
It's like my heart lied
Nothing is ok
I can only live from night to day
How long can I last?
Because i'm fading fast
I can only hope
That i can learn to cope
But the pain is too much
It hurts with just a touch
Truth be told i'm scared
Telling you this has left me bared
But now it's too late
I guess it's up to fate
I'm begging my heart to stop
But it's brimmed with pain to the top
My worst fear is you
That you'll become like me too
Dedicated to the one who was raised like me...
Frozen in fear
Nothing but a tear
A cry of pain
Going insane
Lighting a flame
Never the same
Flickering light
Losing the fight
You write a letter
That no one will see
A ****** of a knife
Ending your life
you know the value of a word
and can place it with great care
you see colors in a rainbow
others wouldn’t know were there
you can find the silver lining
of the darkest thunder cloud
or make a grown man weep
when he reads your words out loud
you live your life wide open
wear your heart upon your sleeve
give your friends the gift of laughter
and console them when they grieve
you take all the pieces of a life
and use words to make the whole
if you're reading this right now
it means you have a poets soul
There are so many wonderful people and poets on this site, this is my thank you for being awesome poem.
This feeling is like a curse
As they drive away in a long black hearse
The dark and gloomy sky
Shudders then starts to cry
A father consoles a mother
While holding a child
The dead's brother
For a moment they stay
Unable to look away
I try to call out
But they don't seem to hear my shout
These feelings I feel
Fill me to the brim
A new light has been shed
It was me
I was the one dead
This is dedicated to my deceased baby brother Cody David.

Everyone is talking about heart break
Most of your guys hearts ache
Love is not a simple thing
It's often the cause of this oh so painful sting

We try to compensate our emptiness with affection
It's only distraction
We have to love ourself first
To protect our heart from the worst
How can we expect people to accept us when we can't even accept ourselves
It is just a thing that I see most people struggle with, even I struggle with at times. It is very difficult to accept ourselves at times. Maybe sometime we do not worry about those little flaws on ourselves. Mostly these are the things that differ us from the rest and makes us special.

Unable to accept the help we need
The pain in our body hidden so deep
Desperate inside, ready to shout
Opening my mouth nothing comes out
Afraid of showing our struggle
All the problems we have to juggle
to proud to admit our failure
