Nostalgia of Pain
I don't miss the laughs
Nor do I miss the tears
I miss the pain we shared
The suffering we endured

No one understood our pain
The suffering we endured
Except for us.
Only we knew what it felt like

What we shared
What we had
Was more than just a story
It's as our life

A life we all shared
A life only we knew
One of my happiest moments while facing depression was when I met a group of people about 5 years ago who was going through something similar to me.
The irony of it is that we found happiness in our pain.

Pœnitet
Gunned down by my thoughts
I mourned your death
Only to be the one who pulled the trigger

Blood dripping from my arms
I protected myself
Only to be the one who cut myself

Gunned down by my enemies
I regret not protecting you
Only to be the one who joins you

The light
When days were grim
An angel appeared
When days were dark
She lit a way

A way towards you
We were strangers at first
And yet you knew my pain
You knew my soul

In darkest of days
You lit my world
Gave me love
When no one would

Incapable Love
I drown my sorrows
Hoping to become happy
I burn my pain
Hoping to become stronger

I reject love
And embrace hate instead
In fear of losing myself
Yet I lost myself

While drowning my sorrows
and burning my pain
My sorrows became my happiness
And my pain became my strength

I reject love
And embrace hate instead
Only to protect you
From what I have become

Required Love
As I feel a breeze on me.
I feel your touch on me.
It's a soothing touch.

A loving touch.
A touch I can not resist.

I tried so hard.
Yet failed so miserably.

Have you put a spell on me.
Or have I just fallen deeply for you.

For your touch is calming
Your touch is caring
And I have fallen miserable

Outcast
Being crucified by society
Just because I'm different
Labelled me as an outcast
Just for the way I think

They want me to bow down
And follow their rules
But how can I
If all they do is deceive

We live in a free world
Yet no one knows freedom
We claim we our own person
Yet we all slaves

When will we realise
Choice is but an illusion
And society a dictator

Depression
In a world full of love
We are hated
In a world full of hate
We are loved

Feelings overwhelm us
And our thoughts consume us
We battle ourselves
We battle our hearts

Sometimes we lose
Yet no one sees our loss
And no seems to care

Sometimes we win
Yet no one sees our victory
And no one seems to support

Rather then judging one another
Love one another
After the death of Chester Bennington I was inspired to write this piece.

Humanity
In a modern world
We are all humans
No one a slave
No one a master

In a modern world
Skin colour does not matter
Yet it determines our future

How are we human
If no one has humanity

In a modern world
All a slave
All a master

I yell; I scream
Yet I go unheard
I sing; I chant
Yet I go unheard

What must I do to become the voice
The voice you will hear
The voice you will listen to

What must I do to become heard
In this world full of noise
What must I do to become peaceful
In this world full of destruction

Thank You God
As the steam rises
I see something in it
My life

I see my past
My present
But not my future

So far I like what I see
Even though the past was tough
But without that past
I wouldn't be standing tall today

Through everything You were there
In all my disbelieves You were there
Even though I didn't acknowledge You

I know it's because of You
That I stand tall today
And I thank You for it

Thank You God

Silence in the night
All I hear is silence
While so many shout out
All I see nothingness
While so many show off

The world has blinded me
The world has deafen me

I am but drifting along
While others speed by

Watching from a far
How reality deceives us all

Nature's beauty
Found myself staring at nature
And then I saw it
I saw the beauty of it
But within that beauty
I saw you

Not only did I just see you
I felt you
Here by me
And within that presence
I felt love

Love for you

LEIGHZVANNE
The mention of his name
Gives her goose bumps
The thought of him
Gives her butterflies

A touch
Makes her world dissapear
A kiss
Makes the whole world dissapear

Living without him
Is not living at all
For loving him
As like the light in her darkness

Never could I find the words
Never could I describe what we have
But as long as I knew
You And I have something special

You were there for me
And I was there for you

Wrong
I will always be there for you
And hope that you will be there for me

I will never forget you
Or the way you way you use to hug me
Nor shall I forget your kindness
And love

I shall always cherish our friendship
Even past the end of time
I'm sorry it took so long

Spidergirl
Overwhelmed by the darkness of sadness
I was alone in the dark
With no light to shine my way
With no one as a friend

Then you came
You changed all that
For you lit my way in the darkness
Your beauty overcame my sadness
And I could see again

You became my friend
You became my hero
You became my Spidergirl

Desert of despair
Chained down to the ground
I try to walk through the desert
The desert of despair
With no one
And nothing
But a chain holding me back

A chain I can not break
For it has become apart of me
And I've fallen for the chain
The chain of misery

Why have you done this?
Why have you cursed me?
Why!?
Why I ask you

And all you do is stare in silence
While I suffer

Losing a friend
The worst pain is losing
Losing a friend
A true friend
My tears for you are endless
As is my love for you
Yet I'm losing you
Don't let me lose
Don't let me lose you
My only friend

Love
Love can **** the soul
Love can revive the soul
Love cripples us
Or
Love heals us

We don't ask for love
We don't search for love
Love asks for us
Love searches for us
And we answer
For it found us, when needed

But in the end
We all sacrifice ourselves
Just to keep love alive
Just to save those
We truly love
So don't force love to stay
Rather embrace love for as long as possible
Then to reject love

Prayer
My memories come back to haunt me
My emotions tangle in a web
A web of life
Why am I weak
Is it for others to tremble over me
Or is it because I'm the lil guy
Give me strenngth dear God
Strength to overcome my memories
To over come my emotions
As well as my weaknesses
For only You can do it
And I believe you will
Dear God be with me
Amen

Lonesome boy
I am a boy
A very lonesome boy
Abandoned by the world

I am on an island of solitude
With no way out
It's a prison
A prison where the raging sea
Is my prison wall
And the night sky my ceiling

With the hard rock
And itching leaves
As my pillow and blanket
While the ground my mattress

I am a boy
A very lonesome boy
On an island of solitude

A vision from hell
My dreams hell
My life hell
My time is near
My end is near
For I am losing everything
Everything I hold dear
Everyone I hold dear
Everything and everyone
I love
And he'll take them away
For he is coming for me
He who haunts me in my dreams
And who chases me in my nightmares
He whom I fear
For he is the devil himself
And he is coming for me

Pain
I am surrounded by pain
Surrounded by by sadness
Is it me
Is it I that causes this pain
This sadness
For I know
You know not this pain
You know not this sadness

For if it is I who caused this
Then let death be me
For all I want
Is for you to be happy

Ma Naomi
A flower was planted
The flower bloomed into a rose
Unaware the rose grew into a tree
A strong tree with many thorns
Like this tree you were strong
Physically and mentally
Like this tree you stood out
In beauty
And brain power
Like this tree people were afraid of you
But also loved you with all their hearts
For you protected them from evil
And showed them love

As the rose fell
You left us all
Yet the tree was left standing
Reminding us of the rose that once was
Like the tree
Our memories will remind us of you
That once was
And will always be

Lost myself
I lost myself
For my soul is broken
My soul is lost
I lost sight of who I am
For I do not know what I became
Have I become darkness
Or is darkness around me
For my soul
My heart
It all feels dark
Nay it is empty
And for what?
A reason I do not know
But what I do know
Is that you fill it
You make me forget
Forget all my problems
All my darkness

I've been waiting for you
Since the dawn of time
And than
You came into my life
And made me smile
You came into my life
And made me fall in love with you
The essence that is only you
With your lil smile that lights me up
The way your eyes stare into my soul
For you came into my life
And allowed me to love you
By being with you

Light
That voice
Could it be
That loving scent
Could it be

I had to see
I had to catch a glimpse of you
Just to see your beauty
Just to see your heart
For you have enchanted me
With one thing
Love
Love I have for you

Could it be
Yes it could
For I
I am in love
In love with you

Your eyes stare into my  soul
My deep soul
Alot have tried
And you
You have succeeded
For you weakened me
Yet you made me strong
Strong to love again
Strong to love you

Light
There was once a darkness
There was once a void
But Light have found a way
A way into my life
A way into my heart

The void is filled
Filled with light
And love
The love light gives
Lights up my darkness
And lets my love shine

You were the first I saw
You were the first to speak
The first voice I heard
Than and there I fell
I fell under the spell
The spell of your beauty
Your kindness
And love
Even though we
Weren't close
I still felt close to you
And will never forget you
But I shall miss you dearly

in the lonely desert
I walk through the desert
The desert of despair
With a ball and chain holding me back
A ball filled with loneliness
And a chain made of you

For you have chained me to loneliness
And made me walk through the dessert
The desert of despair

But alas
I broke free
For I run through the desert
To find an amazon at the end
An amazon of happiness

For I am free
Free to live life
And free to love all

Melissa
Stood by my side since day one
When I was low
You were down with me
When I was high
You were high with me
And no matter what happened
We always stuck close

And all it took was one word
Banana

All I need is ice-cream
Jelly babies
And you
You as a jelly baby

Dear family
Why do you judge me
Just because I'm different
Just because I follow my own rules
And not yours
I am my own person
Not your person

You can't control me
Nor can you put a label on me
For I am Nick
And Nick is different
For Nick chooses his path
Nick does not go by your rules
After certain events I wrote this

Whitt-lee
We were strangers at the beginning
I ignored your existence
I knew your name
But not the meaning of it
I knew your beauty
But not your personality
And look now
I know your anger
Followed by that smile
And than your laughter
Your laughter of happiness
And joy

We were never friends at the beginning
But look now
We friends at the end
It took me months, but I finished

I look at you
And I see your past
I see your present
But most of all your future
Your future of happiness
Your future of purity
But most of all
Your future with me
I'll be by your side till the end
Time will heeled and I'll still be there
For you bring me joy
Your friendship
I'll cherish forever
Even pass the end of time

You twisted my soul
From bad to good

From good to broken
For you have broken me
Beat me down
And kicked me to the curve

world we live in
Life goes by
While death stays
Love fades

The world we live in today
Is not the world of yesterday
But the world of tomorrow
Look to the stars to find an answer
An answer of life
And death itself

I let love in
I let you in
And you took advantage
You broke me
And used me
Only for your own will
You never loved me
You only made me love you
For your own will

individuals
Why must we as individuals
Hide our true selves
For humanity
We are labeled as insane
Labeled as outcasts
If we are different
Why must we change ourselves
Just to be accepted by humanity
We change who we are as individuals
Just to fit in
Just to be one and the same
Is it wrong
To be oneself?

these tears
What hurts you today
Makes you stronger tomorrow.
If that was true
I wouldn't be in pain
I wouldn't be in tears

You've killed me
I've killed myself
By loving you
And by loving you
I drowned
I drowned in my tears

a grey world
All is bold
All is grey
Life through the eyes
Of a person such as me
Is dull
And boring

All I see is grey
All I see is dull
A world without love
A world without care
Is my life every day

All is bold
Allis grey
A world I know too long

rise above
I've been hiding
Hiding in the shadow of fear
I've been waiting
Waiting for destiny
And all for too long

Well no longer
I shall not hide
I shall not wait
I shall rise
And conquer all
For I fear non
And wait no longer

Evil coursed through my veins
Like water in a hosepipe
Jealousy overtook my soul
Like a cancer virus
I was angry
Filled with no happiness
Lost in the depth of being loved
For I know no love
I know not the feeling of being loved
For I am the outcast of many
Yet loved by none

Your eyes are more beautiful
Than the shining star
Your body moves in such motion
The calmest see can't compare
You reject me
But deep down you love me
So do us all a favor and show your love

Nor am I a god

An object misused by many
Misused by you
For I am unwanted
Unloved
I am an object
Misused by love
Never to be loved again

That my heart beats
A thousand miles for

She was just and fair
Walking down the road
With a rose in her hair
Caring for all
And loving one
The one that is me
And only me
O how I love her
For she is just and fair
With a rose in her hair

each other
Let's sing a song
Both our souls will like
Lets sing a song
Both our hearts will love
For we are a bond
That no force can break
Our love is endless for one another
And the stars our future
And we are each other
