Life
How do we survive the pain, that people cause?
How can we live again, when life seems to pause?
How do we face each day, knowing that we lose?
Why do people go the way, other people choose?
Why can't we live the way we want to live ourselves?
Why do people flaunt their feelings on a shelf?
What are we supposed to do, take the road less traveled?
Like you?

Depression
Depression
is like a kite
caught
on a power line
trying to get free
but being battered by the wind
There is no escape.
Winds of confusion
and loneliness
never
let go
so down
a leaf floating
along the ground
dark, gloomy
dead and ragged
brown
faded
almost
erased.

Don't See
I feel completely
Hopeless
Helpless
And useless...
Thought I was strong
But yet again
I've proven myself
Wrong
I feel totally
Lost,
Alone,
And scared...
Thought I'd found direction
But took a turn
Must have been
Wrong
I feel utterly
Sad,
Sick,
And afraid...
Life's fucking with me
Once again
Close my eyes
Don't see the end

Falling Star
This place is killing me,
So why am I just killing time?
The grayness surrounds,
The clock resounds,
A piece of me dies.
An emptiness resides
A hole, mid-way up my body.
My stomach growls,
The hunger prowls,
I hear nothing but lies.
The numbness is spreading,
I can never seem to get warm.
A shiver of doubt,
The silence is out,
All anyone can do is stare.
Pebbles scatter beneath,
My legs are shakey and spent.
An intake of breath,
The sound of death,
Finally, my foot touches air.

 Sick Of It
Being scared of Being unknown Being by myself Being alone
Far from the world Far beyond reach Far beneath reason Even further from speach
Nothing is stopping me Nothing is said Nothing matters now My world is dead
Every day moves slower Every night speeds by Everyone keeps pushing I never question why
I hate the distrust I hate the fear I'm disgusted with hate Everything's so unclear
The need is strong The need for affection But the time is too short For any major conection
Someone who knows me Something to say Some help from outside I've lost my way
But no one gets through No one can hear No one to help me Because no one is near
So on it goes So long and unbroken So don't force the issue I'm sick of being outspoken

The Bastard Starfighter.
I weigh my reasons for accepting you, I have none. I realize that for the first time in a long time, I hate someone.
You make me fear for todays society, Youre rotten. The disregard for other peoples emotions, Respect is forgotten.
Others choose to stand in your defense, Its not all his fault! I understand the situation better, Full frontal assault.
You pulled her in and used her, You knew. She nearly killed herself last night, Or did you?
Not all the blame is yours to take, Just most. You played the game to win, She paid the cost.
How can you shrug it off to circumstance? Youre not that dumb. You were aware of every move you made, This had to come.
The road you chose led you to this end, All tell tale signs. You dragged her with you selfishly, You fed her lines.
And now she lays alone in a hospital bed, The tears are dry. To live with all the pain you had no right to cause? Shed rather die.
But does any of this affect your blackened heart? I wish I knew. My guess is youll pretend that nothing happened, I hate you. |
