When I have a daughter, I will make sure she NEVER sheds a tear because of her appearance.

I will teach her that beauty doesn't come from having flawless skin or the ideal weight,

But from her actions towards others.

and when she asks me if I followed my own advice,

I will confess that I didn't, and that's why I learnt from it
My daughter won't grow up feeling worthless, as I did. I promise

Glimmering lights from the powerful skyline,
reflected like jet flames in the River Thames.
Lights multiplied by the flash of a camera,
capturing beauty in it's searching lens.

I wasn't so sure of here before,
but now I know there will always be
a place in my heart for this great city.
A home, a hub for the bustling race.

Some say mind over matter,
I say heart over mind,
but my heart has learned to love
that which my mind has made a matter.
It's 3:00 AM
and the ghost of your memory
still haunts me every night and day
Maybe,
I should've
took
another
glass
of
Chardonnay
Let me take you to a place where the sun is shining.
Where there is no misery or agony.
Let me guide you home and get you out of this darkness.
Take my hand, I’ll hold you close.

Smile.

Come here, let's sit on our own.
There is nothing you should fear.
I swear I'll dry your tears.
Open your eyes, you're not alone.

We’re together in this.
I’ll scare your demons away, infect them with my light.
I’ll be there to catch you when you fall apart.
I’ll end your fright.

Laugh.

See the colors all around.
See the moonlight, see the stars.
Hear the silence, hear my voice
Let it be your only thought

Open your heart.
I'm coming in
I'm cleaning everything
Let yourself be free

I promise I won't ever hurt you
I’ll be your hope,
Your light
Your savior

I’ll pick up the pieces of your broken heart,
Glue them back together
I’ll keep them safe inside.
Let me keep you warm at night

I promise I wont let you down
Hush
Turn the lights back on
Feel my touch.

Take a deep breath, smell the flowers
enjoy the silence.
Lets lay here just a few seconds
Because there's no anger or violence

No pain or blood.
Can we stay here for hours?
I’ll wipe out every sign of pain you’ve ever had
I’ll end the sorrow that’s in your heart

Let me take you to a place where the sun is shining
Follow me.
Where there is no misery or agony
We’ll run forever

Let me guide you home and get you out of this darkness
Lets hide together, no one will find us. Not now or never.
See the moonlight, see the stars
See the raindrops as they fall

Hear the silence, hear my voice
Take my hand I’ll hold you close
Feel the wind, feel the peace
Feel the tears as they dry on your cheek

Keep on going, you're strong enough
Look at my smile
Listen to my words
I promise I wont let you down
I am not alone, but, will I ever escape loneliness?
Funny how I promised myself I wouldn't weep for you again.
Funny how I've been crying myself to sleep every night since then.
Remembering our times together
Things that could have gone better
And though you're already so far away
My brain keeps your memory alive and fresh
If I could talk to you just one more time
I'd tell you how much I love you
How you're always on my mind.
Remember when I said I wanted to die by your side?
Well, I meant it.
I wish I could go back in time
Back to when I could call you mine
So.. long story short..
I miss you so bad
Just wanted to say that.. I'm going mad
Written something like 2 years ago, to the man who is now my fiance. Not very good, or rather not good at all, I just wanted to put it out there
Sometimes the silence deafens my ears
And the darkness burns my skin
The immensity of nothingness
Terrifies me
Stare at that person in the mirror
Tell me, what do you see?
I see your eyes crying
I see your lips lying

Stare, but look closer into your skin
Look at yourself and try not to scream
Your smile I'm not buying
I feel your hopes dying

Stare and look past agaist your tears
Open your eyes, realize you're what you fear
Youre running out of breath, stop, you can't see clear
Because of the self-hatred that has always been here

That pain that forever seems near
Stare now
For once
Listen to your own screams
Heaven, why won’t you stop crying?
Who did you wrong?What happened?
You've always seemed so strong.
Tell me, why are you so sad?

Stop sobbing friend of mine, come to me, I’ll make it right.
I'll listen, I’ll stay here all night.
Is that what it takes to make you feel fine?
You know? I’ve seen rain lots of times.

I’ve seen hurricanes, when you’re mad.
But.. Even in those.. I’ve never seen you crying so hard.
Did you lose someone?
I’ve lost loved ones too..

Or has your heart been shattered?
For me that’s nothing new.
No? But if it’s not that… What is it, then? What’s the matter?
Whatever it is, I’m sure you’ll make it through.

The sun will show up again, the clouds will go away soon.
I remember when I was depressed..
Even in my darkest days
You held the blue color of the sky

Kept the moonlight in those lonely nights
So, please believe me this time.
Again, my friend, you’ll be happy, you’ll shine.

As long as you keep your hopes up.
As long as you try and smile.
Please heaven **please don’t cry
I made this a couple of years ago, i suffered from depression, and while looking out the window on a rainy day these words came out of me, the whole thing sounds a little childish and its barely a poem, but i dont wish to change it because it lets me see how even in the bad times, i kept trying to see the bright side :)
There's a corpse walking through the streets

Empty on the inside, where my soul used to be

It doesn't feel a thing

It doesn't hurt, it doesn't heal

Its just a mannequin

A sick joke you may think

It wont answer if you call my name

It wont listen when you beg for it to stay

Its lifeless, its dead

Its just the body that remains

No smiling, no screaming.

Not a single sign

No laughter no singing

Not anything i once was

Don't offer a helping hand

For she wont shake it

Don't help her stand up if she falls

She wont take it

Its over.

I'm dead already

There's nothing you can do

It's done

I'm gone

*You're left alone
this poem was made years ago, I no longer suffer from depression, so don't worry :)
