I write poetry, without even trying.
I write poetry, to relife my pain.
I write poetry, to keep me away.
I write poetry, mad as a hatter.

I cant help it,
I strive to write about the beauty of life,
But end up setting free whats so dark.
I'm thinking "how could a kid be in so much pain?"
"Normally teenage life is all about going insane."

I can't get what makes me happy.
I tend to close up by acting cold,
          I'm not.
             Smiling to cover the clouds when a camera is near.

I can't cry for help,
I'm isolated.
No one will reach out.
No one will reach in.
I propose to shut them all out,
...

They won't understand.

Sun rising,
Everything will be alright.

Anger. Pain.
It's getting harder to hide,
All the feelings I've built up inside.
It's hard to explain,
Without being considered insane
So I've kept to myself,
Until I realized I need help.

I should have seen it,
Putting a smile on my face and act its all fine.
But i see my future in my own brown eyes,
Is this the first step of it all?
We might love now,
But you will leave.
You’ll find someone,
Then come to me to speak.

You can’t see with your naked eye.
But all these scars helps me see
,
That I survived so much trauma and now I am free.
Makes me realize I was in a place of no rest;

I feel guilty inside for leaving this token.

Now I will see and memorize, I was so broken.

He may be twisted but deep inside,
I believe lies a man full of pure love and affection.
Grounded, surrounded, bossed around,
But sets me free into his safe arms.
As if fear drags us apart.

I was so blind, but now I see.

Now he's gone, but within I stay,
Regrets after regrets,
Are drowning me.
...
I remember the smiles he caused to be,
All the happiness flying through the soul inside of me.

But now you'll see it's not only me.

I'm glad to have seen, before letting go.
Regrets after regrets,
Cause' its crystal clear.
...
Saving what I have,turns out not fear.
I say thank you because it's all your fault.

Don't let what's bad blind your eyes,
It'll take your love , without your feel.

Oh Mine!

Lost in my
mind;
not the woods.
Drowning in my
thoughts;
not the sea.
