It isn’t brave, and it isn’t clever,
to inflict pain on other people forever.
Life isn’t all about you.
Your life isn’t all about you.
That rope hangs your family too,
and those pills **** your friends.
The pain, hurt and upset
doesn’t stop when your life ends.
So please don’t do it.
Please just take a moment to think.
People will die with you
when you drink that deadly drink.
Don’t tell me I don’t understand.
Twice I tried and twice I bailed.
Twice I tried and twice I failed.
Don’t tell me I don’t understand.
I came through, and so can you.
Let that light at the end of the tunnel be a fresh start.
Don‘t let it be the glint of the blade that enters your heart.
Think about how many have died.
Think about how many have sat and cried.
Think again about your selfish suicide.

Hurray

Tied a noose around my neck as if I going to the ball
They shouted "Hurray"
Ignored my fall

Oh Soldier Boy

I knew a simple soldier boy
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.

In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With lice and lack of ***,
He put a bullet through his brain.
No one spoke of him again.

You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

If you understand, i'm sorry. Stay strong friend.

September 11, 2001

Everything seemed like a normal day on September 11, 2001
Skies were blue
Birds were chirping
Everyone was at work, school or on their way
Nothing unusual to see a plane in the sky
Until the unexpected happened.....
The plane has now pummeled its way into one of the twin towers
Innocent bystanders and workers watched and feared for their lives, as others never saw it coming
In pure disbelief the world had stopped and time stood still
No one could believe the terror as a second plane pummeled through the second twin tower
Smoke billowing and fire exploding
People surrounded to try and help in whatever way they could, risking their lives
People trapped to their death and jumping out of the buildings to their death
We watched all this unfold before our eyes and many years later we still remember and never forget
Such tragedy happened to our country that day...

We will never forget where we were when this tragic event happened to our nation

I miss *She*

She

cheated
  and falsely hoped..

She

cried
  and then she broke..

My tears were soft falling from my cheeks

They hit the ground like bullets

She realized what she could do without me

  I guess she saw something I just.. I couldn't see

Five Years Old

I was five years old
When my mom told me
To stay away from flames
Because even though their pretty
They can burn you

I was fifteen years old
When I first knew I loved you
And I knew you were that flame
That was too pretty to keep way from
No matter how much it burns

If you understand, i'm sorry. stay strong friend.

Taylor dear, I love you. I really do.
