i'm always asked why my eyes are so dreary
why i'm always yawning
why i can barely keep my eyes open
it's because my eyes are always open during the night
i can't seem to drift off into the night
and get the numbered hours of rest i need
my thoughts occupy my mind
keeping me awake
at all hours of the night

I found out yesterday, i commented on your Youtube video...
My friend had told me, Youth isn't on this school holidays.
So i needed clarification, and i knew just who to ask...
My bestie, the one I'm madly in love with..
You had to block me on Facebook, against your own will..
So I had no choice, but to reach out to you through Youtube.
You'd warned me the week before, Keep it video related or else i'll have to ban you from that as well..
Not what you want to do, but you would have to.
So I commented, and begged please dont ban me, I have no one else to ask. Is youth on this holiday?
You replied within the hour, and thats when my heart caved in, again.
Yes, thats true youth is not on this holiday, was your words.
So I calculated it out, thats 2 weeks, without seeing or talking to you.
You already broke my heart 5 weeks ago, with the saying "I just want to be friends"
It couldn't of worked out anyways, as its apparently illegal.
A 16 year old and a 21 year old, its wrong they say...
But I don't care, I love him with everything I have.
So now I wait, lonely as hell, for the day I get to see you again.
I just hope I make it through the holiday, I don't know how to thoe.
Because without you, I feel so sad, empty, broken and cold.
Even thoe were just friends, part of me still hopes someday, you'll be mine to hold...

When everyone
You thought you knew
Deserts your fight




I’ll go with you.

it’s been a bad day
and i know what i feel
i don’t think i know what i can
feel, see, touch and smell
i get confused
which is real and which isn’t

I no longer dread the question that nobody knows how to answer
Because instead of hiding my emotions behind a wall of lies I speak the truth
Instead of telling them I feel fine I tell them that I don’t want to breath anymore
And I can’t help but scoff when they tell me I have so much to be grateful for

They don’t know me
I hate how people assume

They tell me that I should be grateful for my parents
But my parents are why I run on anti-depressants
And it’s not because of what they did but what they didn’t do
Those pills I take are because my mom died in front of me
Those pills I need are because my dad ran away from me
Those pills I live on are because my brother is the only family I have left, and no matter how much I love him he always hates me

I was told to be grateful for my friends
But my friends are why I get so drunk I can’t even find the floor
And its not because they ignore me, but because my only friends suicide, depression and sadness keep pounding on my door
Depression keeps telling me that life would be better if I give up trying to avoid him
Sadness keeps trying to tell me that I would breath easier if I stopped running away from him
Suicide keeps telling me that I won’t have to deal with Depression or Sadness if I just listened to him

I was told I should try to be happy more
But its gotten to the point where I’ve cried so hard I can’t even cry anymore
I mean you can’t blame someone who doesn’t have anything to be grateful for
4th night without sleep. I  can't even be motivated to dream anymore

I'm dead,
I have already committed suicide,
No you can see me,
You can feel me,
You can read me,
But you can't find even a single reason to call me alive,
No I haven't got cut on my hand,
& haven't ever tried to hang,
But I have got my heart bleed,
I have got it broken,
I couldn't actually die,
& sorry I'm unable to keep myself alive,
Not my fault,
cause I'm the one
never loved,
never cared,
never caressed,
never being consoled,
never being hold...
So here is a midway,
So here is a dead me,
With a human body,
Healthy & fit
A ***** kit!!!
What if I can't cut my lifeline,
I have already cut my connections with life & now I think it's all fine...
Sorry for this negative poem, but it's just a way to dry my tears away & make my eyes deserted again, & stick that fake so called lovely smile again...
I wish I could donate my life to someone who seriously wanted it!!!

Not sure when motions lost their meanings,
or when emotions ceased to exist,
and in place of where these emotions used to dwell,
a sort of quasi nostalgic feeling of emptiness sits,

don’t remember when we lost ourselves,
but how could you expect m remember,
you know what a terrible memory I have,
heck I don’t even remember my last birthday,

or the one before that,
or the one before that one,
I don’t really remember much these days,
but what I do remember is that I still love you,

though I could’t tell you what that love means,
in fact I can’t really tell you much of anything,
because it seems I lost me Self when I lost my way,
at some point of time somewhere along The Road of Life,

I must’ve ignored the street signs,
I must’ve let myself be led astray,
and now here I am alone together with you,
unsure of who we are or what anything means,

not sure when motions lost their meanings,
or when emotions ceased to exist,
and in place of where these emotions used to dwell,
a sort of quasi nostalgic feeling of emptiness sits…

You called me your girlfriend and held my hand
You lifted up my spirit and healed a broken piece of me
Then you say we're not together
I knew it all just happened so easily
Why would someone like you want me?
Trust me, I'm fine.
Everyone leaves
Why did I think you could be different?
Maybe I'm being dramatic
But my heart breaks so easily
like glass
And that's why I don't open up so easily
I honestly don't feel like being shattered again
I just put all my pieces back together
Just a few days ago
I was put back together again
and you know what?
I did it.
Me
No one else was around to help
And then you showed up
I was hoping that I wouldn't have to do it alone anymore
I know we just met
But I get my hopes up so easily
And I thought you'd be the one to save me
Why do you think I approached you?
I don't usually do that kind of thing
But it's fine.
I don't mind.
I just have to get used to being hurt again
by everyone in my life
I should just give up on love
Love *****
And I just have to pretend like I'm okay, right?
I've been told that my fake smiles look so real
I can lie
And pretend I'm fine
Because that's what I'm used to
I don't let anyone see me
The real me
Because they have the ability to hurt me
And almost everyone I let know me had the audacity
to use that against me
I destroy myself when I'm hurt
I can't eat
I can't sleep
I can't freaking breathe
And I'm a crybaby
I cry about everything
Everything I feel goes straight to my heart
and shatters it
And why would you be interested in that?
Exactly.
I'll just have to change my heart into shatter-proof glass
So just lie and say you're alright
Lie and say you're alright
Lie and say you're alright
Lie and -
I'm alright!

Hi! Do I know you? Have we met earlier?
You seem alone, wanna come inside my house?
Maybe grab a coffee?, I asked the strange looking woman who looked awfully familiar.
“I’m here to take you”, she whispered.

And at that moment I knew who she was,
The queen of darkness.
She came to take me again.

With her clothes so black,
Even the light would be scared of them.
With face so red,
Even the blood would be jealous.
With her voice so scary,
That the opera of horror choked itself.
With eyes so white,
That the salt hid from the kitchen, feeling terrorized.

“You can’t escape from me, you need to return back to the land where you belong”, she growled.
I ran and ran but she caught me in her void again,
Making me fall in that world of wretchedness again.
“Darkness, my old friend, I’m back”, I cried.
