Attempted Suicide of a Cutter

I can't make sense of this head of mine
I feel hopeless, running out of time

I should've died, my only wish
I just don't understand all of this

why does God want me to live
I'm alone, I have nothing to give

scars of white, tears of red
I can't make sense of this head 

cuts break open, mouth gone dry
I don't get it, I should've died.

Rip Papa

Papa

From the day I entered this world

In your arms I was curled

I knew right off you were good

Looking into your eyes as you stood

As the years past you were always there

Every moment; Every care

We knew always to come to you

For great advise and a laugh or two

When we moved away from you

I didn't know what to do

Longed for our everyday arguments

Longed for your approval on our achievements

Everytime you called us my day got brighter

All the stress of everyday life got lighter

Knowing now you are in Gods hands

Watching over us as time stands

I will make you very proud

I will make you shout with joy out loud

So promise me you'll watch me grow

Because T just want you to know

I really Love you!

See you in my dreams...

Jesus

Today I sang in church
Spoke of Jesus' rebirth
And how he died for me
To set my soul free
Free from condemnation of my sin 
The sin that came from within
Lust, jealousy, hate, and pain
Are the sins my body contains
though much more are left unsaid 
I know I am safe, for Jesus is no longer dead
He died for me, as well as you 
Though he was pure, he still came to
Came to die for millions, years aways 
Therefore, he is still here today 
Through the countless people all around
They are saved for Jesus they found
Continue to grow, as I do today
To know Jesus and grow in his way
Grow to be Jesus-like and always love
Speak to others about him from above
And how he's in your life right now
Explain to them exactly how
And bring them to Jesus as well
Live in his presence, live to tell.

Mask

This mask of mine I share with you
it hides all that I've been through 

the grins and giggles I put on
hiding confusion, dusk till dawn 

the eyes of my mask speak
for the part of me that's so weak

behind those eyes, a story lies
of the days I sit and cry

others when I laugh and dance 
once given love a guiding chance

only to be left cold and in pain 
a mind inside all but sane

fear of the future
regret in the past
I hide it all behind these eyes
the eyes of my mask.

Scars

Memories and scars can serve a purpose no other can see
they can hold both pain and individuality

each scar, each moment, shapes your life to what it is
without a foundation all falls and seems to miss

how can one live so perfect and without pain till their moment of last
what is a person without scars, but a person without a past
