Hold on tight, do not let go
The fall might be a wrecking blow.
The rope hanging, unable to bear,
The threads pulling, threatening to tear.
While you hear the lines' last call to rip,
Little girl, now don't be sad, I understand your pain,How you feel there's no way out,That you have gone insane. That you're a recluse through and through, No friends here you call home, The conflicting anguish inside you,To fight it all alone. T

They practiced poetry all day, a song most meaningful today.

Last night, I could not sleep,All I could see where the things I was sleeping to forget,I woke up, checked my phone: 6:36 AM. I began to weep, My face is pale, I'm breaking out, my cheeks... so wet.
I swear to you there’s stars in his eyes, bright
Blue like an ocean never ending, begging
You to jump in, tempting
I grew up, expected to be an adult I went through rocks and stabs I know we all fought People watched as if I was a cast No one gave me a hand we all grew up we all went through the wet sand growing with all of my lumps and dumps No one can se
"Your smile fades
As you look away
I see the broken pain
That is causing me shame
Why couldn't I see
What was pointed out so clearly
I went looking for trouble
But it was right in front of me
You call at me like destiny
And fly out of my grasp with the wind
You tempt me with your grandeur
Only to take it all away with your greed
You invite me in
You're not like the others.
You actually listen to me.
From the minute I had met you,
i'll admit, I was unsure where you would lead.
Depression?
Succession?
How can this situation go?
You told me I couldn't
You called me stupid
You made a "what not to do" example out of me
And here I still stand
Can a stupid kid graduate high school with a certificate in Graphic Design?
The clouds have veins,
at the end of the day, when the sun kisses the edges,
and the purple spreads along the blue, dancing on the white
I want someone to listen to me. Listen to my story and tell me when I’m done “That’s some deep shit you waded through.” And then say nothing.
Forever trusting no one,
and maybe you were right.
They came around to change that.
The cause of every fight.
Fighting in waves crashing on the shore.
The ones we pace across endlessly.
Depression is a widow's veil.
A black, looming object..light and wispy, blowing with every change of the wind.
It's flowery design serves to hide the pain and agony that lies beneath.
You tell me to
state my mind
when I am quiet.
You force me to
share my thoughts
on the daily things.
But when it comes time
to voice what I believe
You start from who you are;
Sweet, innocent, and caring. people ask and you say you're ok but no one knows how you're truly faring.
Heavy and smudged sky,
and drops on the window.
My brain pulses,
and my heart swells.
It weighs down on the space between
morals and the vices of feeling.
Don’t mind me
I’m really ok
I just don’t want to be awake
All I ever do is make mistakes
Don’t find me
I’m running away
I just don’t want to be
Someone like me
From a distance much to great,
He silently seals his fate.
With a rush of the tide,
He loses the feelings he tried to hide.
His head spins,
Black and Blue
Do you ever get a clue?
Black and red
do you know how much i bled?
black and green
You were always too keen
Black and yellow
Afterwords, you were always so mellow.
Words are unspoken,
Things are not said,
But everything she feels is stuck in her head.
The sighs of a hurting, broken heart
Her feelings inside tear her apart.
Words that whisper,
It's extremely loud in here,
Though you do not hear it from there.
You may not be able to tell,
There are a lot of arguments
And the music is always up too loud.
Though the words spoken, shake,
I Fight,
I Fight For The Light.
I Fight For Those Sitting Their Room,
Crying At Night, Holding That Knife,
And Wishing They Died.
I Fight For The Ones Who Lost Hope,
Broken bottles
lining the window seels
where pictures should be
where crosses should be
liquor soaking in the walls
yet not absorbing the blows
virbration from the seel decore
Three am and I'm in that park.
The trees rustle in the breeze
I'm here to meet a man
Not a sleeze.
Little do I know he's a human shark.
That's the hardest part.
He meets me halfway
look at yourself
look at your thighs
do you really believe
people would care if you died
your eyes are to small
and your stomach too round
feel the adreniline pumping?
Full of stress, full of fear.Working so hard, full of determination.A need to express, to make it clear.Eternally scarred, by the implication.Of failed success, so severe.
Staring at walls, out of mind
Dark despair calls, like no other kind
Shadows swirling, thoughts racing
Emotions twirling, no point in chasing
I had a bestfriendHer name was MiaShe gave me tips to ease the painHeld back my hair as I threw up my sinsTaught me how to gag quietlyTold me to never eat hot things
We started out on cloud ninewe never imagined being apartwe were forever, we were together.We had it all planned out, right down to the day we said I Do.But then the hate startedthe stress

The laptop is open and the papers are spread
He doesn't understand
"Just stay on the bed!"
He steps on my keys and nudges my arms
Go away honey
I didn't ask for your charms
School is a place where I love to go,
Where I stare at a board so my mind will grow.
I love it so much I could go all year,
Yeah, that's right, no sarcasm here.
I love how I learn just what my teachers say,
I am not a number.
I am not a rank out of my class, which is a bummer.
I am not a number on a four-point scale.
I am not just a student, and I like to rebel.
I am a person.
Always last in Gym Class,
I Never stood a chance in Debate.
Immediately chosen for any Group task,
That science Fair was a piece of Cake.
Teachers love me,
Oh how they praise me.
Others not so much,
Everyone’s a rebel,
we all want to change the system.
We all shout until our throats are sore
but the government won’t listen.
School funding is paid by
the local property taxes.
Living in this small community,
You think you know all that goes on.
The one hallway school
Knowing each student on a personal level
You think you know all that goes on.
T'Was the Christmas season,
Where a little boy glees with reason.
He's filled with joy,
As he waits for hid favorite toy.
The little boy couldn't wait,
but it was just too late.
I can't do it!
Everytime I try,
I Fail!
You keep pushing,
But you don't understand
Everytime I try,
Allow me to clear my throat first
Ahem,
Fuck you, English Teacher, with the same capital F
You gave me on that paper you refused to accept
I know my ABCs and my punctuation
How Should I know
The workings of society
the reasons I act the way I do
and the consequences when it's me versus you
I want to learn
Learn the revelations of the greats
Numbers, books, words, they're all related in a way
It all relates through school I must say
Some things just don't make sense
And yes I have spent most of my life in school
Some may call me a fool
frusterated .. miserble .. that is my school life .
teachers on the other hand makes my world go upside DoWn.
with their i dont think so, and NO you cant
ughhh... this is miserable..
teachers these day.
Words of honey can lead to arrogance,
And words of vinegar often sting.
It is your job to educate and enrich,
You’re feeling insecure
Don’t know what for
You have everything
That others dream for
You are beautiful, strong, and pure
Fond memories, led astray
No glimpse of hope, such disarray
Scornful judgment brings out a beast, so tame
Blinded by its fear, naught bravery remain
Tearing at the wounds that reject
In the valley of the Shadow of Death,
There’s no place to hide, no place to rest.
The demons there, haunting your every step.
Choking you ‘till you have no breath.
The light at the end of the tunnel
When your pain is tangible
You can reach out and touch it.
It’s everywhere, consuming you.
You don’t even realize how lon_____g
it’s been eating away at your insides, until
they finally cave in and c
Nights of terror seem to pass
And days of sorrow fade.
In every moment that I laugh
I slowly crawl out of the shade.
Bits and pieces start to form
But some parts are still gone.
Hey you…
Yeah, you.
The girl with all the scars and stories to tell.
The boy who sits alone in the corner,
The child with a black eye from “falling down the stairs”,
I’m here for you,
Now and forever.
Dear teachers,
I tried to fix my life
broken from harsh words
that were said under your nose
by miss perfect
miss 4.0
miss captain of the sports team
miss daddy is the school board chair
Why does she float around with no shame?
With words that are utterly sweet yet so crisp
The optimisim that lives inside of her only to express it to everyone else
No matter how great of a feature on him
I saw the hurt in her eyes.
He was exactly like me.
She was exactly like him.
The lack of eye contact,
The sincere desire to make it work.
The lack of feelings.
The mourning process.
I can feel you closing in
Nipping at my heals, only a few steps behind
What do you want from me?
I never asked for this chase to begin
And yet to chase me down, you seem inclined
Started from a text now we’re here
Started from a text now we got all this right here
Never did I know that we were going to get this far
Our first time on the phone I was nervous
Our first time kissing I was melting
Slowly slipping away from the surface,
gasping for a quick breath of air.
You try to pull me under
but you keep drifting farther away.
