They do speak...
They speak to my mind,
Oh they speak, how they speak!
I know that they aren't real...
I am in pain,
From my head to my chest,
Nothing has changed,
I always tried my best,
But it did nothing,
I don’t belong here...
Shouldn't let my eyes leak, but
May my dreams seep through them now.
If only I could let go...
Let go of all my raindrops....
Crystal blue dimming to a fog grey.
The light is fading, it,s going out.
Her eyes.
Have seen so much.
Innocence of her...
You push him down
you call her names
causing so many frowns
and so much shame
Why do you need
to push and shove
is it from...
Listen to these voices all around.
So many young dying in this small town.
Listen to these voices far and near.
They"re...
Blood and sorrow falls as do I for as long as I can remember
Hidden, heavy kept secrets as I am invisible forever
I've built...
Still pulchritudinous,
I can see you now,
No Mystery here; nor why or how,
~
The color of perfume caressing your arms,
This...
What do you do when you cant do no more?
Sink to the ground and put your head on the floor?
You can't turn back time and you...
Water spills from the sky in April.
Water drowns me in September.
Am I alive? Am I still breathing?
I used to like...
With every droplet of my tears,
My heart sinks deeper.
Nothing is going right,
When nothing should have been wrong.
My dream...
hush your lips
and you will be okay
keep them stiched
and youll live another day
dont tell a soul
and just sit there and...
I am split, what once was one, now is two, I told it to shew, but it just grew, what should I do? It's consuming me, like a...
I wake up, put on my clothes,
wash my face, fix my hair and look in the mirror with disgust.
Yes, I'll do it.
I go to...
"I'm That Girl"
I'm that girl
Quietly sitting in the corner
You barely glance my way
Thinking I'm nothing special
I'm that...
“I lay in the tub with blades and blood;
and there they found me”, he said.
This man, this...
The melody lifted me
The harmony grounded me
The pitch challenged me
The tone pounded me.
The lyrics found me
The notes lost...
My selfish self wants to stand out and shine,
Like the glowing eyes from the roadside in the night
Making many folks alert...
I give up trying to present myself,
make myself appeasing to the eye.
I give up living up to other peoples absurd standards...
Falling into painful loneliness,
A way out? “There is none”, a voice told.
“I have no beauty or good, I am loveless.”
This...
When the toes of my shoes dangled off two inch concrete cliffs,
you put a hand on my shoulder.
I wasn't sure if you were...
There is an important someone here just for you, so please do not leave so soon
I can clearly see that you are upset, but...
Teacher, teacher
I'm not sure if you know
My mind may be open
But my heart remains closed
Teacher, teacher
Please, just...
My will is fleeting
My love is fleeting
My strength can only fill a bottle cap.
Pain is I
As I am death
No near death
In...
Behind my eyes, there was a darkness I cannot begin to describe
No one could really look into them for fear of being...
Am I alone?
I was looking for someone
In a thick mist,
but I couldn't see anyone.
I could see clearly
but my mind was...
Your body's getting cold, your lips are turning blue. why did you do it? you're the only one who knew, I see the earth below...
I touch but I cannot feel.
I see but I cannot be seen.
I speak but I cannot be heard.
Numb
Absence of Feeling
Nothingness...
Oh, glue sticks
They remind me of sticking stuff together
The icky, gooey, substance in a stick
Stuff like paper, newspapers...
You see her
She’s 16
The prodigal age
The year of first love and heartbreak, obstacles and triumph
She reads to escape...
Completely numb I live day by day.
Darkness pollutes the world around me.
It sinks in… into my skin, my heart, my soul.
Here...
On the bed thinking.
Where's my razor
So I can cut up.
Where's my razor
So I can take this pain away
Why do people...
Between a rock and a hard place I dwell my days away. The disgrace that is life is only what I want it to be. Nobody will...

Times spent graciously with friends
The heartaches
Falling in love
Learning about...
we are living proof,, so here it goes, the living truth, said uncoated without any cuth. I remember looking out the window...
She looked in the mirror while she
Wiped the tears off her face
That helped her sleep
Last night.
She washed her face then...
I don't want to die, I just want to disappear.
Climb out the window and escape into another universe.
I feel as though I am...
There was no other way out I could see
No other way to do the unspeakable deed
I had to set the demon free,
All it did was...
(beep)..(beep) is the rhythm my pulse goes.
It runs fast like a bullet train without the breaks.
When things get stressful,...
Why do you judge me like you know me?
What did I ever do to you?
I just don’t understand
How the people around me have...
Just once, just once
I want to get dressed up
in a dress with short sleeves
And not feel like everyone is staring at my ugly...
I’ll never forget that horrible November dayAnd all the words I regret because I never got the time to sayThe ear ringing...
Hey Dad..
It's fine if you miss me,
But don't miss me much.
For I was not as strong as you thought I was.
Don't grieve...
As the day starts with a frown,
I hide from everyone to cover my reality.
More issues arise to get me down,
But I can't let...

Words that every person wants to hear.
Words that mean I love you and I care.
Words that want you...

It tastes the chalking of my blood

Falling, fading
I'm slowly losing myself

When will these...

Only ones that believe in such a thing achieve happiness and joy.

You didnt get the life you needed
when you were on your knees
you begged and pleaded
you were left
feeling so alone.
Don't fear the blood
fear the need
And wherever else
the desire may lead
You see the scars
hear the cries
And all of it...
The love that you get from your parents.
That's all a lie.
The dreams that you're fed from them.
That's all a lie.
They...

I sit there staring at the flames
Thinking back at the time
When everything was sane.
In one fleeting moment

Death appeared and knocked me into a dismal despair.

You live your life in a haze
Your parents believe it is just a phase
But it is too late: you've already turned to the blade...
On my desk there is a photo
It was taken what seems like ages ago
It seems like another vacation photo of friends...

The tears
All because of the blade

Today is the day
The day to begin
To begin a new life
A new life full of love
Love that will be shared
Be shared to those...

All they say is that she's a big disgrace.
She looks at her wrists...
Life is precious as a crystal door
But you vandalize it
And chastise it
Until it hits the floor.
Suicide is permanent-

Yet she cares for all of them...
She sits at home

the pain/pleasure
fueling her addiction.

She wants-

Everyday, Every night it haunts me
The feeling, the urge, the need
To feel the pain, to hide away
What really lies inside me...
Everyone has one - a feeling that they've cherished since they could remember
For some people it's having a bite of grandma'...
Weak bones
Curled toes
Soft cries

Look at the small tangible
Person in your arms.
So unique. So different.
Soften as she warms.
Yet her heart cold as ice...
Cuts on her arms are what you see
They were never meant to be
Jagged edges the razor left
Zig-zagging to the right and left...
Meadows bow to the Winds,
Trees invites a zephyr of touch to their leaves,
The Oceans laughs at the tickles of a breeze upon...

So I peeled back my skin to start anew
Only to find that my bones were scarred too
And when I stitched it back together...
There is loneliness in my soul tonight.
I reach out hesitantly for some help.
I can see someone out there that is bright....
The misery was bitter,
My head and my mind,
Frustrated from the voices,
They were winning,
Until I took a stand,

Not everyone falls in love the same way,
nor do they fall in love at the same time.
But this is about that one fateful day...
How can you judge me?
Do you know me or my story?
How can you even judge me?
Have you ever walked in my shoes?
So, how can...
It hit me like a resounding gong,
BANG, like a gun.
I couldn’t even comprehend it.
A life, just gone.
She was so young, so...
Crossing from society into a watery solitary,
the only and solely place for solitude
without criticism, without scandal,...
You feel alone in the darkness that surounds you,
People look at you different because you have those permanent barclets,...

Singing to herself, painfully quiet
Waiting for the night to...

I place the weight of my body onto a jagged rock on top of a mountain.
With my head turned to the left, the breeze brushes...
People live differently than one another.
None identical but similar.
We all don’t grow up the same,
and not everyone...
You said we were friends yet you walked away.
I said we were friends and yet i stayed.

Disarray, Disorganization to say the least.
Free-for-all environment and pandemonius feats

Abusive words and the teasing over powers my thoughts
The taunts and laughter of those...
Your tears are like knives at my heart
They kill me everytime I see the sadness that empowers you

Wake up, with a smile and thank God for another day. Nobody knows the pain I'm going through because this world...
A boy sits alone in his closet.
Enmity splattered walls.
His heart, so open to love,

But...

He cries alone in the hall holding himself. He wonders how kids could be so crule.he wishes he could stop the teasing. He...

Eventually everyone gets tired of the girl who is depressed for no reason

Damp cheeks,

Uttering’s of silent stifled shrieks
Sighing,
Chest pains.

And at night she'll refuse to...

Always making me seem sad
Although my sadness is more sorrow

That girl who looks depressed everywhere?
She's being bullied by a couple of jerks
Anything they say...
I alone am here to stay,
Far away far away

But a lonely little girl like me
I wonder...

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You once loved me,
And I once loved you.
But time after time,

I responded with silence.

I lie awake every night with thoughts running through my head.
The thoughts so deep even I don't understand them.
Each day...
My mind sees a different world that i don't live in.
The sick thoughts going through the brain.

Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words always scar
Negligence to be the same
Falling down the road to self hate

as everyone laughs.

In the fall you came again,
you came as a shock to those you left

The hole that I fell in
swallowed me whole
now I see nothing
It covered its top
closing me in

When would you tell me you wanted to die?
