Alone

A million people just like me
All close, claustrophobic, strangers
I may not seem or look alone but I am
I am alone 
Alone, alone, alone
Those words roaring in my head like a wild fire
I feel alone 
All teenage girls like me
My mum in the woman's section
I miss her
My dad in the men's section
I miss him
And my brothers in the boy's section
I miss them
I am alone 
I feel alone
I don't want to be alone
Alone, alone, alone...

The Internet

The Internet
Why must it be so destructive 
It was made for connections
And making things easier 
Now it's basically a life ejection 
No way out
You're trapped
Everything you say
Everything you do
Forever in a database 
always to be there
Haunting you
Judging you
More vulnerable 
More exposed
For many it feels only one way out 
They think it would be correct 
Just take the blade across your neck 
This is why you must think before you post 
A future that had much hope 
Taken because they couldn't cope
Now you see why I sent this message?

The Holocaust

Think of being called by a number 
Being thought of as nothing 
As they continue their slumber
You know they are eavesdropping 

Think of being in the way of death
Waiting for your time
When you take your last breath 
But have not caused a crime

Everyday I went to the fences 
But I could not see without my lenses
Long hard days of manual labour 
Had to burn my men for a favour 

As I looked towards the dead 
I look down with guilt, look down with dread
My eyes stung with the pain of lost ones
Now I realise my life is long gone

My School

My school
A disastrous place indeed
Where the kindest are hated 
Where the monsters are loved
You have to be perfect
Perfect body
Perfect face
Perfect hair
Screw it 
Who wants a world of the same people
Where one man is the same as the other
Where one woman is the same as the other
Where you are the same as your brother 
Where your the same as your sister
Stop a second 
Breathe in 
Take a second to see the real you
A science geek ok
A maths genius it's fine
We were made to be different
It's fine
We don't want a world of clones 
Where we all have the same bones 
Where you are no significant to someone else
Where you are not you
You are them
They are you
My school 
A school of fakes 
A school of phoneys
A school where you have to be perfect 
Where your nothing
I don't believe your the Same as another
Your all different in your own way
Take passion in yourself 
Or you will be like 
My school

The Death of Me

the death of me is but a whistle in the air
the whistle near but far 
it is unpredictable 
life as we know 
does not really show
for the death of me is near 
I hate it
I love it
im all above it
hating life is untrue
for you would not read this 
you have a life don't lose it
you have a body don't bruise it 
you have a family don't hurt it

The Lesson

Well...
I'd never guess such a unclassical fate
Yet upon my endeavours
Walking among fallen feathers
Believing I'd make it to the greats
It's funny
Of course people would so simply say
No
Don't do it
It's not worth all this
But upon the internal screeching inside my ear
I can not hear it
The sound drowns out
And now I'll count...
1...2...3...4
I don't feel needed anymore
5...6...7...8
No I can't hear you, its far to late

I'm writing sloppy with this pen
Feel far too numb 
Here I lay...
Upon the bed in which I was born
Oh here
Look here
It's my whole family
Crowding around
I blow out the candles 
the air thickens with smoke
Where am I now?
Look it's mummy and daddy
Wait where's daddy going?
Where's daddy gone?
Is he ever coming back?
The floor falls from underneath me
I'm back in bed
My flesh upon my arms and legs are bleeding 
But there is no sensation
What have I done?!
I shouldn't be here!
Doctor I'm okay
Please leave me to lay
My family have crowded around me again
My dad is here 
Beside mum
Everyone's crying
The world around me dissipates
The light... I see it!
I'm going to it!
Goodbye mummy
Goodbye daddy
I'm happy now
But I am sad
I don't know what to do
I'm scared
Someone help
Ouch what is that?
It feels as though Zeus had struck me with his lightning bolt
There it goes again
Wait...
I'm back...
Hello family
I'm okay
There's no need to cry
I'm sorry for doing this
Forgive me
I'm sorry
I need my rest
I need to sleep
Goodnight

Sweet Little Rose

Sweet little rose
Who wore boys clothes
Knew she was different
She was laughed at from her choices
And every night heard noises
Now there was this boy in school
Who thought he was so cool
Calling sweet little rose a queer
She wanted to disappear 
She remembered the taunts made 
Permanently in her brain 
Hitting from side to side 
There was no place to hide 
So sweet little rose 
Always called gross
She had too much soon
And went in the bathroom
The door locked 
The tap ran
And the white tiles turned red 
After that the bullies dread
Because every night they go to bed
Sweet little rose 
Was the ghost 
And haunted the last of the lot
And the moral of the story here is
It doesn't matter who you kiss 
And if you was to diss
The ghosts of them hiss

Not Such An Easy Way Out

Ever looked through a window
Feeling unloved 
Unwanted
When the world around you stops and darkens
And you feel completely alone
When you stand in the dark
Waiting for light
A light that will never shine
A light that will never travel
A light that is dead
Killed by the bullies 
Killed by society 
Stand up
Be proud of you accomplishments 
Bullies are not great
They destroy your fate 
Bullies are what are wrong with you
Your not
They will have no life
You will
But if the bullies destroy you too much
And you believe them as such
And you go through the rush
And you are gone 
Your family will be broken 
Life of others will change 
The bullies will notice their mistake 
Before you do something
Think
Think of the impact you can make 
Think of the broken hearts you can cause
Suicide is not an easy way out
Its a heart killing way out

The Road of Life

Walking along
The road of life
A flowing song
A dull blunt knife

Dragging across
The flesh of sin
The sea of loss
The next of kin

My minds not right
It is not straight 
It works in spite 
Of my mental state

I need some help
I can not sleep
Nor be upheld
All I keep 

And all I hold
Is to climb the steep
And to keep me bold

To help me rise
Umongst the saints
And keep my eyes
Above the waves
