Smiling Mask

I walk around with
A smile on my face.
My smile seems to hide
All my hurt.
The smile is the mask that 
Hides all the pain.
I tell myself to smile,
I don't want my friends
To see me hurting.
No one seems to beable to 
See through my mask.
I want to take this mask
Off and let everyone see
How much i'm hurting.
I can't seem to bring my hand
To my face to pull this 
Mask off.
The only place that I do
Take my mask off is in
The safety of my room.
My hurt is so bad I just
Want to die.
I just want to cut all
My veins open and let 
Them bleed, for everyone to see.
My head is screaming for help,
But no one can hear it.
I can't seem to take my
Smile off, so I can scream,
At the top of my lungs.
I've thought, if I was
To just die that the only
Person who would cry,
Is my best friend.
I want help, the words just
Don't come out right.
I need to take my smile,
My mask off and show
Someone all my pain.
If I do, I don't want to bring 
Them down with me.
I need someone to help
Me take this stupid smile,
This mask, off.

Memories

I thought we were happy together. 
But like all the rest, 
We were destined for failure. 

You said you loved me, 
But you had to go. 
All I could do was 
Watch you walk away. 

Now that your gone, 
I think of us. 
All I'm left with are the memories. 

The memories make me sad, 
'Cause you were the one 
That got me to open my heart again. 
But now your gone and not coming back. 

So now I guess I must move on. 
And maybe the next guy, 
Won't break me like you did.

Wasnt Supposed To Happen

This wasn't supposed to happen.
I wasn't supposed to feel this way.
What did you do to me?
To have me feeling the way I do about you.
 
I can't stop thinking about you.
When I hear your voice it makes me smile.
Everytime I see you my heart leaps.
 
I wasn't supposed to feel this way.
I told myself that I wasn't going to fall for anybody.
Now look at me.
I've done exactly what I said I wasn't.
 
I think about you all the time.
I want to see you everyday.
It makes me sad 'cause I don't get to see
Or talk to you everyday.
 
But I'm happy this has happened to me.
I've never felt like this for anybody.
It made me realize that I can love again.
And be able to be happy.
So maybe you are something special for me to keep.
I just wish I knew exactly how you felt about me.

Good-Bye To What Used To Be. . .

Good-bye to the sunlight,
I can see the darkness growing near.
Warm summer days are long gone.
Cold winter nights are moving nearer.

Farewell to the enduring happiness.
Farewell to all the pain.
Farewell to emptiness.
Farewell to being alone.

Good-bye to what used to be.
Good-bye to all the friends,
I may leave behind.
This body, consumed with so much hurt.
I can't handle everyone's problems.

Farewell to this place.
Farewell to all the feelings.
Farewell to what used to be.
Farewell is the last of my words.

How Could You

How could you,
Shoot yourself,
Leaving all your
Family and friends in pain?

How could you,
Shoot yourself,
So close to christmas?

You had everything
Going for you.

How could you,
Devastate everyone 
That cared?

How could you,
Not ask for help?

How could you,
Break all our hearts?
When we could have 
done something.

The biggest question is 
How could you?

Cry For Help

Sitting in her corner, thinking. 
Hating herself for always thinking. 
Though everyone says it's okay. 

She does drugs, drinks, and parties. 
Hoping someone will stop her from slowly killing herself. 
No one budges. 
Yelling hateful words at the world. 
No one can hear her desperate cry for help. 

Slowly, she kills herself. 
Razor blade in hand, 
Threatening to ruin her skin. 
Cuts only a little bit. 
Not ready to give up just yet. 
Crying for everyone to look at what she does. 

Broke down, 
Crying in her corner, 
Blade in hand, once again 
Threatening to end her life. 

Convinced, 
. . .No one cares. 
Cutting, both wrists, 
Watching them bleed. 
Knowing she was dead, 
From the get-go. 

"No one will miss me" 
. . .She says 

In her corner, 
Letting out her last breath. 
A final cry for help. 
Toppling, to the floor, dead. 
No one came to save her. 

Now, everyone looks at her through tearful eyes. 
This sweet and beautiful girl lying motionless. 
Realizing they could have made a difference, to her. 
Instead they turned a blind eye. 
Not listening to her plea, 
. . .No, her cry for help. 
They didn't see her until it was too late.

Pain

Pain is feeling empty.
Pain is feeling abandoned.
Pain is feeling you have no friends.
Pain is feeling no one cares.
Pain is feeling you don't belong here.
Pain is never knowing where to turn.
Pain is cutting and watching the trickles,
Of blood fall to the ground.
Pain is watching everything turn red,
As the blood colors the water.
Pain is like death.
Death is being empty, inside.
Pain is feeling empty, inside.
 
 
I wrote this my freshman year of High School, because I had a friend that was 
going through depression and she started cutting and all the pain I saw her 
carrying around with her it just broke my heart.

Hate

Hate is such a strong word to use.
For you I think it will suffice.
I hate that you let me love you,
Knowing it was based on lies.
I hate that you made me cry,
Night after night.
I hate that you left,
Without even saying goodbye.
And how you say you still love me,
When you can't even tell me the truth.
So now I have to make myself hate you,
Even though you still hold my heart.

How Fooled We Were

How fooled we were,
To think that day was normal.
It was anything but normal.

We heard someone had a gun.
We got scared for our family and friends.
We couldn't get to them,
The school was locked down.

We heard someone fired that gun.
They said he shot himself.
Someone said it was Skyler.
Other's didn't want to believe,
In my heart I knew.

I was in shock.
I couldn't breath.
I didn't want to believe.
We thought he was happy.
How fooled we were.

They said he was in stable condition.
So, I was able to pick up some of 
The pieces of my heart.
We got that dreadful phone call.

He said you died.
I dropped all the pieces to my heart.
I was crushed.
I broke down in tears.

Didn't know how I was
Going to make it.
But I did.
How fooled we were,
To believe you had been happy
All those years.

Do You See?

Can you see me? 
Or do you choose to ignore me? 
I see you everyday, 
With your new friends. 
I see you tossing me to the curb, 
For your "new" friends. 
You get bored with them 
And you pick me back up. 

Do you see what your doing to me? 
I wonder if you do it on purpose. 
I get my answer everyday with your damn smile. 
I've become invisible, to you. 
You don't care. 
You don't see my pain and anger. 
You put on a smile and walk away. 
I can't deal with it no more. 
So i'm saying good-bye dear person, 
With all the pain you've caused. 
We are friends no more.
