Stuck by its roots
The grass could not fleet from the wind

It's a shame that I can't go to the moon

This feeling is new to me
It stuns my mind
And lets me be
Empty hope
And lonely words
Is what I used to be
But now I can breathe
Make amends to the anxiety
And make sense of the hollow dreams
There is much more to me
Maybe in ways that you could only see
And when my words don't flow
Just know
Its because
My mind is stunned
By your beauty

Swerving by the stars
Moonlight in my eyes
Could you take me to infinity?
I just lost my mind
Darkness all around me
But these diamonds shining bright

Could you take me to infinity?
Together we could lose our minds

Let me die and take me to nowhere

'Talk to me
Please'
Was that too much to ask
Now we are just memories from the past

These tears do not know better
They just flow when they think the time is right
It just so happens that they like to show themselves at night

Everyday he wandered a fragile path
A path Scarred and neglected
It ended abruptly
This was the type of path he knew best
The end of the path opened to a great escape
With no crossing for miles
The vast road offered an instant death
Cars sped past with no remorse
Everyday he watched but couldn’t pull through
He told himself ‘tomorrow I’ll be released’
If only he knew

Every night he dreamed of death
To live alone would be his only regret
His dreams were vivid and were soon to come
Just not in the way he once thought it would

One day it all changed
The boy found a true love
He smiled and forgot why he hated himself
A new path he followed
With a girl by his side
Finally he felt happy and no longer wanted to die

During the night
He no longer dreamed of death
He dreamed of his future
Too bad life is unfair

The following day offered many opportunities
The boy walked his new path with his utmost dignity
The path wasn’t neglected
It didn’t end abruptly
The path opened to a crossing which was new to his area
Who thought this would be the place where he got run over

I lost the key to unbind my soul
And I thought I would never find it
Until one night
At a bridge between life and death
I came to an understanding
The pavement at the bottom of the bridge wasn’t they key
My soul was never bound in the first place

The coldness of your shallow eyes
Only light up when the tears have dried
And when the thoughts are burred so very deep
Your mind takes you where you want to be
Away from anger
Far away from fear
So far from reality
That you would have no need to care

Sometimes my mind wanders
Into the depths of your eyes
I feel my heart quicken
As if I have come back to life

With lips like yours
Who couldn't resist
Not a thought on my mind
Except I think we should kiss

When you smile
And laugh
For not a reason at all
I know I could stay with you through all day and nightfall

The way you look at me
With such beautiful eyes
Makes me so happy
To be alive

They say that happy people don't have dead grass
But it feels like there is always a rain cloud over my head
The grass is still green
But I feel dead

I think I get it now
I can't even see the stars
Although there is no need to wonder
I am sure they are as bright they have always been
They are just hiding
Beyond my roof
And beyond the clouds
I doubt they will go anywhere anytime soon

Acceptance was my first lesson
I have never been one to meditate
Although somehow
My mind has brought me to an understanding
The light should not be rejected
For how else would a flower bloom
I think its sad how people trap them in their room
It is beautiful
How we live
And how we love
I hate hatred
And I often hate myself
But then I realise
That dwelling will get me nowhere

Another lesson I learned was about frustration
Not everything will come your way
From my experiences
I have gained friends
Lost friends
And sometimes lost myself
But even through all of that
I learned how important it is to never neglect yourself
If you only live for others
Then what will happen when they are gone?

I learned recently about taking initiative
Anxiety is the reason my nails are short
The reason why I shake my leg
And the reason why nobody else cares
Or at least that is what I used to think in my head
But over time it came to my mind
That I could not blame anxiety for all my problems
Life is cruel
But its probably not as cruel as I thought it was

My hardest lesson was not to dwell in my own dissatisfaction
Depression was the word I used to describe the void in my soul
I used to think that nothing could ever possibly get better
And that it was better to die young instead of dying of old age
The chemicals in my mind are still changing
So when I am feeling down
I always try to acknowledge that

Writing has been therapeutic for me
It has changed the way I view the world
For both good and bad
I have met people on here who have helped me on the darkest days
So I say to anyone in need
There are people on here who want to listen
I want to listen
Lets all try get through this mess o.o

There she lay
Shrouded in the darkness off his mind
Her eyes were as bright as the moon
She had nothing to hide
I think there was a spark
He felt a warmth from within
But the light eventually succumb
And his mind went back to numb

The only good thing about life is that we get to die at the end of it

The stars are forgotten
Because of our ignorance and 'progression'
We have lost the will to look up

Within dreams we can run
But hide we cannot
As we awake with the sun
And must always get up

I may be young
But I still feel pain
The type of pain that awakes with the sun
I see my hopes and goals
They are framed in my mind
Like pictures
They only show what I wish I could find
Of happier days
With my friends around me
My ink could help lives and let my dreams free

Within dreams the stars shine
Where the clouds cease to exist
We can run
But not hide
As the sun always rises

Anxious thoughts shroud my mind
Thoughts of self-harm and suicide
Troubled days unsettle the soul
Uneasy nights make me cry

Rope creates a fantasy like no other
Train tracks lead to an unclear demise
Bridges invite an easy escape
Knives carve thin skin where veins reside

Everyday follows another
An endless cycle from which I suffer
To live is to feel pain
To live forever is to go insane

The ocean doesn't look blue anymore
Neither does the sky
Oil dyes the ocean red
And smog obscures the sky
Yet the world feels more blue than ever

Lackluster eyes and SSRIS
Thoughts turn to ash
When anxiety thrives
The raging fire never ends
Until there is nothing left to burn
The mind is like a forest
That can be burned down to a crisp

Life is like walking across a tightrope
It's only a matter of time before you fall

Can anyone be true to themselves?
Or can we just be true to the person we think we are

Truth lies where life ends

Pretty girl
Did you starve yourself
And sit upright in that chair
Pretty girl
Did you apply foundation
And condition your silky hair
Pretty girl
Did you use your makeup
And read that 'true beauty' magazine
Pretty girl
Did you put on those heels
So your prince charming could sweep you off feet
Pretty girl
Are you depressed
Because that boy just called you ugly
Pretty girl
That rope is seductive
And in death you found your beauty
