Breaking Point
I can't take it no more

this is too much

Your words are just words

you use as a crutch

My mind is a mess

these pills just dont work

Why don't you care

I'm going beserk


One minute I'm up

the next one I'm down

This life is strangling me

I might as well drown

I sit in the dark

never seeing the light

You're all out to...

My Breaking Point
I used to be so optimistic 
Now, I feel like a pathetic stranger
I used to be so enthusiastic
I have to deal with more danger…
Now I am
Lacking potential, 
strength and intelligence 
I used to be a cheerful kid
I used to be a real bad boy
But, now I am
Mature enough to face my consequences
I used to be...

Breaking Point
Come on and break me down
finding the spot not yet found
as you tear my knees to the ground 
wearing arrogance as if its your crown
as if its life
as if a right, that's yet been unspoken
can heal this heart too often broken
twisting like a knife
breaking through my souls skin
leaving me alone and twisted
erasing my rules never...

i didn’t see it coming
for days walking in a daze
a fog that wasn’t lifting
obviously in shock
one foot in front of the other
on automatic pilot
not knowing what was next 
then it happened

his ashes were ready to be picked up

triggering a flood of tears
there was no turning back
no delusion of him just having stepped out
he was coming...

At Breaking Point
There is nothing in this world that i can possibly think of or think of doing to tell you how much I love you. 
You are so sweet to me, i can't almost stand it wen you call me handsome and cute, cause it sounds so sweet to me. 
If there is anything in this...

Breaking Point
Sometimes I'm truly happy;
once, in a great while,
you never really realized that
so much hides behind a smile.

It's hard for you to remember the things
I thought you'd never forget.
All these cries out for help
and you haven't heard one yet.

But we can take a lot of hits;
this is undeniable,
but once what was bottled up pops,
who is to...

With every struggle in life, there's a cost to one's supply
Of their strength, courage, and hope needed to apply.
The cost will depend upon each struggle's intensity
And the number of to face throughout life's history.

When there are few in number, of a lesser count,
Or aren't very difficult to rise above, surmount,
Those who struggle less say, want...

You Pushed Me To My Breaking Point
Your attitude has got to go
My top is about to blow
Not liking what you will see
As the other side of me
Brings a fury large and wide
A tremor from deep inside
Will not stop and get more violent
There's no way to keep it silent
Once it builds up from the depth
Where it's been quietly kept
Until someone like you...

My Breaking Point
Hot headed asses
Filled with commie bastards
Social disorder in the brain insane with pain
As if socialized wandering wizards chicken gizzards
My breaking point to no return hero burn
In sweat caged fury everything scarey
Shaded pine in derision chasing after delusion

Fought back the pain with a smile on the dial
To frolic in the whisper almost a certain Hitler
Shadows filled...

Breaking Point
Taking into account all she had lost,
It seemed she had such great strength.
But no one ever stopped to consider
That what they were seeing was fake.
She had carefully built up a wall
Between her and the rest of the world.
Letting no one in was her way of coping
She pretended she didn’t need company
From those who would be...

Breaking Point
My best friend is gone, Ended her life
Turned around and she cut herself with a knife
Body lain, Soaked in blood in the bathroom tub
Why did she have to join the suicide club?
Kassidy's gone, I dont know what to do
My other friend Savannah, Im pretty sure she's gone too
Got a knife, got depressed, and cut her...

Breaking Point
Here now lies wasteland

What once were great nations, now just ghosts of a forgotten world

Here now lies wasteland

Once a burgeoning life force rich with souls, now barren

Once Kingdoms stood in all their glory and power

Then the bombs dropped and fire filled the sky
The dust settled, we blew our chance, nobody left to ask why...

hand in hand
the dreaded moment 
when your soul took flight

chilling the silence 
abandoning me
in forlorn despair

adrift sullen 
in a dizzying state 
of utter devastation

the gruesome knot
of my world 
sadistically twisted

Breaking Point
I should have stopped him the first time he hit me,
But I was new to love, and thought love didn’t leave.
Several years later, love became my excuse,
I was little-larry-lies-a-lot, denying abuse.

Life wasn’t the dream of our love letters.
I was a victim of hope, that he’d change for the better.
I couldn’t admit that I’d made a...

Breaking Point
Lost, Stuck, Undecided.
Fear, dread, love divided.
Carefree, never more.
Closed heart, soul, war.
Clear mind? Discarded breath.
Wasted time, nothing left.
Can this be or can it not.
Love has left and I forgot.
Quick thoughts, faster heartbeat.
Soul's lost. The world's forgotten me.
Pain, suffer, anxiety.
Wished to say, poor old greed.
Neck's tense, knots in stomach.
Never understood.
Never comfort.
Time heals, or so we shall see.
For...
