My Biggest Fear Was...Me

I guess I cant hide anymore 
I must be upfront with who i am, who I've been all these years
I'm not the average girl
Yea, i admitt, I got issues
but who are you to judge
I'm not going to hide anyomore,Im looking fear in its eyes
Im not gonna cry
What you see is what you get
Dont like it?
Tuff sh-
Im not Kay kay anymore Im Akribah
Who I've been hiding from for years
 Yea I cut
okay so what
Alright I listen to Avril Lavigne and Fall Out Boy
Thats my business
Just let me be me
What I do has nothen to do  with who I am
 Im that same girl that you knew years ago
I just grew up
Ive learned that its ok to be me
you dont like it?
Ask me if i care
 Im living for me
Something I should have done years ago
I lost my grip on life
But I was given a second chance
And this time Im not gonna hide
Im gonna look fear in its eyes
Im not gonna cry
I cant hide anymore
I refuse to hide anymore
what you see is what you get
Dont like it?
Tuff sh-
I faced my biggest fear

Confused

Its like a new start
But at the same time, Im at the finish line
Its like I've gained something
But at the same time, I've lossed
I feel empty
But yet im full
Im sad inside
And at the same time Im happy
I gave
So that i could get
What i gaveup wasnt alot but it has a hold on me
What i got makes what I had seem..seem...unworthy
Its like I've accomplished something
But it wasnt enough
I left the old life
I've moved on
So why am I crying
Why doesnt this feel right
I dont wanna go back
but I dont wanna stay
I've gained so much
But at the same time I've lost a huge amout
I'm confused and im lost
Im cold yet Im hot
Im hungry yet im full
I dont know if i should make a left or a right
I dont know if im wrong or right
It's a new start
But im standing at he finish line...

A Game Called Life

Life is like a game, you win some and you loose some.
Of coarse after you win, you have a feeling of,
Achievment,
Honor,
And joy.
But it's different when you loose.
You feel as if you have achieved nothing,
Dishonored,
And maybe un joyful.
You try your best to get back into the game,
So that you can prove that you're worthy.
Not to others, but to yourself.
You're finally given the opportunity to get back in the game,
But you strike out in the ninth inning.
Your smile quickly turns into a frown,
And you come to realization that you're not worthy at all.

Loosing My Grip On Life

I'm slowly drifting away
Here in this life i cannot stay
I desrtoy everything in my path
My future is some how affected by my past
I almost lost the only thing I have
I've already lost my sanity
So I'm left empty
Dam near lost my everything
I'm loosing my grip on life
I try to tell myself that everything will be alright
But im still drifting away
Here in this life I cannot stay
I dont have control
I have an empty soul
All he wants is to help me
To guide me
To love me
But I feel unworthy
He doesnt deserve someone like me
I've lost my grip on life-completly

Dedicated to: the life I live with Perry

Dear Brotha

Dear Brotha,
Ur gone now
And I neva thought of life without you
Ur gone now
So tell me what the hell am I supposed to do
The tears I cry are mostly from confusion
Trying to figure out if this is real
Or simply an illusion
Ur gone...the conclusion
Missing you so
Dont know why it was you that had to go
Me and you were so much alike
Maybe that's why he had so many fights
I told you I neva really liked you
Maybe that's because you weren't letting me do what I wanted to do
You so right threw me
You saw things others wouldn't dare to see
Nor look for
Maybe that's why I hated you more
But as crazy as this sounds
That hate was nothing but love
Because you showed me that with every push comes a shove
You taught me tough love
And now you rest up above
And I cry
Not wanting to say goodbye
I wonder if this life is worth living
I wonder should I keep giving
When in all reality
I have nothing left
Life is a complete mess
But brother
I'll keep liven
And I promise to keep giving
Even if it takes all my strength
The strength you helped me grow
I love you brother
So goodbye until tomorrow
                                                Love always,
                                                                        Akribah

Pitty For the Weak

Show no mercy, hold back no words of pain
For i am weak still, show no pitty
Let the tears drop, better yet, cause the tears
For I am weak and I ask for you to show no pitty
Incourage me none, let me travel this road alone
I ask for no help from the strong
Do not be my right when Im wrong
Pitty me none
If I cross the street of thunder and shall be struken by lightning
Show no sympathy
If i shall trip, I ask for none to help me up
I ask for you the be the one to push me
and show no remorse
For I am weak, pitty me none
When I come to the conclusion that life is just to hard
and decide to give up
You mustn't pitty me
You mustn't strengthen me
You shall look me into my eyes and remind me how weak i am
Only then, will i become strong
Pitty me none
For I have endured your words of pain
and here I still stand
I've cried many tears on my long travels and still
I walk an endless journey
I have been struck by the powerful lightning
and I have fallen from your push but,
I have gotten back up
You've looked me in the eyes and told me I was weak
I laugh and continue life because,
I know what I've went threw to get this far
Only being weak can make me
STRONGER
For I am NOT weak,
Show no pitty towards me!!!!

Unwilling

Alone and unwilling to find happiness
Stuck in depression and unwilling to come out
Never felt true love and unwilling to search for it
Empty and unwilling to be fulfilled
Why be unwilling?
Afraid to end up back in unwillingness

Untitled

It's to try being an angel when you're living in hell
You cry but no one sees your tears,
You scream but no one hears you yell,
Day by day ,slowly choking ,
Too many things left unspoken,
As the tears dry and your wrist bleeds,
This has become your life creed
Slowly dyeing inside,
The pain you can no longer hide,
The cuts have become visible
Your heart is unreachable
The pain is just unbelievable,
They can see the hate in your eyes,
And feel the pain in your cries,
Nights spent hoping you wouldn't awake...
Just thinking,
That you being born was a mistake

This Is Real

Take a step back
Just to catch my breath
Close my eyes
So I wont have to see what's coming next
Holing on tight
And try not to loose my grip
Watch my blood drip
Cuz Im just that pissed
Take my own life
Cuz aint nothing out here for me
Im NEVER gonna be fulfilled
always left empty
Take a step back
and then I trip
No one catches me
Close my eye
and no one bothers to look at me
Hold on tight...
but then I let go

Cuts

Around me,
There is violence,
As i sit and suffer in  a deep silence.
One cut leads to many more,
And soon my skin becomes all torn.
I watch my blood drip-
Then I put my hand to my lips,
Just to make sure I don't scream-
Wondering if this is all just a  horrible dream.
But I realize it's not,
As this battle inside isn't yet  fought.
The pain is so real,
And as sad as I feel,
I wish my heart would just heal.
But it won't...
Just too many times it's been broke.
So the consequence is this,
And that is...
The cut of my wrist.
I say goodbye,
As I cry my lonely cry,
I hold my breath and prepare for what's next...
DEATH
