Scars

Wounded by the words of hate 
For you to change I will not wait 
I guess I was the one you didn't need 
Too blinded by your ego and greed 

Its the same thing with all you guys 
Filling my head with all your lies 
Telling myself that all is well 
While words were said that bite and yell 

You never hit me; you wouldn't dare 
But you left scars if you care 
Scars that constantly try to hide 
Scars that are forever burned inside 

The days I'm unhappy to be alive 
Are days when thoughts of you arrive 
Days when i pull my hair and yell 
Knowing, of course, nothings well 

A new idea like smoking pot 
Brings my mind to other thoughts 
Scars that are forever burned inside 
Bring thoughts and attempts of suicide 

Your memories have made me insane 
Constant thoughts and constant pain 
From memories of you I cannot hide 
Bringing scars to the outside 

Knowing of course nothings well 
An apology you came to tell 
But wounded by the words of hate 
A sorry from you came too late. 

All this time you always knew 
Haunting you what i went through 
Memories of my awful life will burn inside 
Until you drive yourself to suicide 

Two lives filled with scars and hate 
Was it chance, or was it fate 
At least the pain and wounds are no more 
Two lives ended ends a war.

Unlasting

I feel 
the pain 
of absent truths 
the proof 
is in my actions. 
The lack of feelings 
I'm dealing with 
make me realize 
theres only a fraction 
of happiness. 
but I want it all 
cuz I recall 
the better days, 
but that was a ways 
away. 
My thirst is profuse 
which the use of water 
cannot dilute. 
I'm voracious 
but my hunger 
is tenacious 
and tough. 
Bread alone 
is not enough. 
You knew, 
I knew, 
we all knew 
the truth. 
The proof 
of unlasting happiness 
is evident 
and I've spent 
just about 
enough time 
trying 
to proove otherwise. 
My cries 
overpower 
my hour 
of worldly happiness. 
I guess I feel 
fed up. 
times up 
im done.

Just Like a Cigarette

I drown in tears I shed for you 
You drown in clouds of smoke 
I suffer when I look at you 
You suffer when you choke 

There's pain in every screaming lung 
There's sorrow in my heart 
For everytime you take a puff 
Your breaking it apart 

Don't you know your life is changing 
With every smoke you get 
Your life is getting ever shorter 
Just like a cigarette

Meaningless Happiness

Looking in the mirror 
I peer into my soul 
Who am I now? 
How did I get here? 
I fear I'm lost 
Tossed into this world like nothing 
Something worthless 
Like I'm worth less than bread 
And I dread tomorrow 
Sorrow overpowers my will 
To go on 
Is hope gone? 
How can I carry on 
Like this? 
I miss sanity 
Vanity created this life 
Now strife is abundant 
In my world 
Hurled me into darkness 
An abyss of absentness 
Meaningless happiness 
Confessing its inablilities 
As we have known 
And it has shown 
But must we keep prooving it? 
We're losing time 
With redundant proofs 
Of this truth 
Time is better spent productively 
If ppl could see that 
They would be that much happier.

The Depraved

dont understand 
and cant stand 
cruel hearts 
and for the most part 
dont care too 
im not like you 
dont miscontrue 
the way i feel 
to be real mean 
cuz i mean, look 
u stay a closed book 
take a look at yourself 
its unhealthy to bottle up inside 
and hide from everyone 
you gotta outrun your fears 
years coulda been saved 
tears coulda been saved 
depraved minded all this time 
not thinking it a crime 
to hurt those around you 
but its true that indeed 
that the innocent bleed 
at your feet 
defeated and breathless 
hopeless and lost 
at the cost of what? 
your pleasure? 
there is no measure 
of how digusted i am 
and i am disgusted 
at the very least 
at how you feast 
on others' pain 
and embarrassment 
whether thats how you vent or not 
you think your a big shot 
taking cheap shots 
bullying your way thru life 
well you feel good? 
you feel empowered?? 
Well all i see 
is a hopeless weak coward.

Life

Life is complicated 
We love it, we hate it 
And hate each other 
And every other person we meet 
Cause we think 
We have to please them 
And we dont want to 
But we dont got to 
So we dont 
But thats what theres too much of 
Theres not enough love 
Between us 
You've seen us 
We fight 
In spite of one another 
One hating the other 
Breaking them down 
Then turning around 
And putting on another face 
Going to another place 
And doing the same thing 
Playing the same song 
When all along 
You want more 
You fall to the floor in exhaustion 
Your lost in your habits 
How can you change now? 
With the life you live now? 
You can, Ive seen it done 
Don't run, face your trials 
And in awhile 
You'll forget the strife 
And love your life.

Innocence

Where once the innocent 
Now the guilty are 
And if u now are innocent 
Guilt is not that far 

The innocent cannot last 
When temptation is abound 
And where there is temptation 
Innocence wont be found 

So if you feel like being good 
Just know that it will pass 
Cause no matter what we feel inside 
The innocent dont last.

Insanity

Haunted by my memories 
Reminded of those I hate 

Destined to be alone 
Left with feeling I create 

Surrounded by my many thoughts 
Waiting for something new 

With all this hate I have inside 
Whats a girl to do? 

I wrestle with my sanity 
I struggle to keep my cool 

In this game of life and death I'd say... 
I'm to play the fool 

Flirting with the idea of madness 
What have I become? 

Instead of feeling it a shame 
I could have some fun 

But if your gonna stick around 
I'll give u some advice 

I'm crazier than I look sometimes 
So dont ever close your eyes.

Finally

Its not right 
dispite 
this feeling inside. 
I cant hide 
the lies I deny 
but I try 
to fight to hide 
the truth 
and the proof is unfolding 
and I'm holding the key 
that will free me 
from my own stupidity 
that causes me to stumble 
but if I'm humble 
and hide my pride 
and step out of this mindset 
move on and forget 
I may finally be 
free and at peace.
