Smile Again

I want to be up and happy and feeling my best.
But I don't get it, I wake up and feel depressed.
I have nothing to be in a bad mood about.
But I just want to sit here and not go out. 

I am missing so many good times, it isn't fair.
All my body and mind say is I don't care.
In my mid-twenties and already want to cash in?
I want this life, I want it to come out and begin.

Maybe there is a chemical imbalance in my brain.
Trapped inside and its sunny, but in here only rain. 
Yeah I can go to the doctor and he can give me some pills,
but the effects are weight gain, moodiness, and some people it kills. 

I just want to be able to smile again.
Or at least know I can and when.
Its so hard to tell people nothing, but everything is wrong.
And everyday gets harder and it takes so long,

I just want to smile once more, 
maybe walk on the ocean shore.
Just make it through today and survive.
Just be happy that I am alive.

Thy Love Thy Self

how how couldnt i see it before 
 that im more beftuf8ul than i ever thought
 why couldnt i see it
 i was blinded by heart of thy pain thy still felt in thy heart


  how is it so  
 that i can feel it now 
 how its it that i can feelk it now '
 is that i can love myself now
 since i learned to  forgive
 thwe one thaty heart me deeply insi de ny heart.

  is it true it takes time to recover and to hill from 
 being broken 
 i need answers this is weird and everything y y '
 why do i feel this way . 
 tell me tell me please tell me i need to know 

i cry and cry inside trying to figuare out
what it is thats getting me backk to my
 old me 'i guess God have a plain for me 

so isnt that he wants me to be happy
eventhough he no imm not perfect which is true
wow im so happy that i finally coming back to the old me 
i run i yell i do everythingt to understand what it is that having be so me

not being mad 
not being sad
but might think back to it once in a while or even
get upset or sometimes i might just be a happy lilltle soul

that just my mix up feelings thats just me


The Shameful Hunt

I wish i could turn back time
stop myself from committing that crime
my heart is torn the more i think about it
nothing in the world will ever fit
i regret ever saying goodbye
and also ever making you cry
i wish those feelings would return
but i guess its my turn
to be the one whose feelings are crushed
and turned to nothing but dust
i wish we had made it together
maybe then things would be better
looking back those were my happy days
but now I'm nothing but a mere slave
to what my heart feels inside
from the truth that i fear
and no one else will ever hear
of the love i have for this girl
who throws my head into a whirl
whenever i take a step forward 
i always get brought back
seeing you happy is all i want
so for now i will stop my hunt
for the love that i want from you
that is nothing less then true
but trying to make you feel the same
that for me only brings shame

Carry Hurry

he happy days have gone,
The happy days are hard to find,
I wish I understood why I feel sad,

I can't try to go on,
I can't feel the need to carry on,
My soul had died and am trying to get out of this sad thought,

I need to smile,
I need to try and laugh,
I need to try and carry on,

All those thoughts of pain in my head,
All those thoughts of  feeling low,
All those thoughts of thinking why oh why?

I need to smile and carry on.

That Girl, Eve

A small place in England
a city rife with crime 
full of the homeless
the jobless 
lives a small 
defenseless girl 
who was once a happy child 
transforming 
into an angry woman 

Eve was a small girl
missunderstood
Life was hard on the estate
Father and Mother deceased 
when she was three
She came home 
But for what? 
Empitiness  

Twelve years on 
Eve sobs 
as noone is there 
to answer the questions
anger has built itself up 
Why me? 
she often asks herself 
questions fuel the rage 
till one day it becomes too much  

The tragic day 
came after her fifteenth birthday  
life was the death of her
the poor girl 
with glazed eyes
who watched 
other children at the park 
with their parents 
couldnt handle it anymore

The local papers
portrayed the whole event 
as if they cared 
if they had cared sooner 
this girl, Eve 
would be happy 
enjoying her life 
like the other girls her age  
but they didn't
and still nothing has changed

Where Is My Happy Place?

Where is my happy place?
The carefree days of my childhood.
When the sun was always shining.
And the laughter of children was heard.
And there was always a breeze.
I was happy and at peace.
So where is my happy place?
 
Where is my happy place?
My burdens and fears weigh me down.
My sky is always grey.
And children's laughter is no longer heard.
And the breeze turns into a hurricane.
And my happiness disappears.
Where is my happy place?

Should I

i know it helped you that i could see
if i do it to will it help me
it took away your pain do you now feel good
if it takes away my pain do you think i should
you hated your life and in some way it shows
if i hated mine to do you think anyone will know
you had a short life do you think you could have made it long
if i shorten mine to do you think it would be wrong
you were happy at some point do you remember at what time
if i were happy for a day would it be crossing the line
when you decided to make that choice was it hurting you a lot
if i was to make that choice to would they leave my body to rot




P.S. this poem is talking about my aunt who killed herself four days after my eight birthday 
 i cannot have the mind power to do 
something like that but i do know people who do. 

so this poem goes out to all the people who lost their relatives to suicided and to the ones 
who think about it everyday. and to hope you can get help so you would not do anything like 
that

The Happiest Place In the World (Is Not Here)

Ran away
Away from the pain
Running away
Away again
Here to stay
Stay in this place
Staying away
Away from that place
And it's okay, to waste away
My life this way
And maybe find, a happy place
Sense you kill me this way
Maybe I'll stay, here today
And it's okay, to waste away
To end my life this way
In a happy place
If there was one, I'd stay

Despair

I sit and stare at the black hole of my life.
It sucks in every good memory and happy emotion.
I say good-bye to my love of yesterday
And hope for tomorrow.
I say hello to pain and hurt.

I look into the eye of the storm of life.
It beats up my heart one more time.
I say good-bye to sunny days
And happy times.
I say hello to the acid rain that wrecks my life.
