Why

He sits staring into space
Feeling like nobody cares
Feeling like he's all alone
Nobody to turn to
Nobody to talk to
He feels like he's being ripped apart
He wanders if anyone knows how he feels inside
If anyone knows about the recurring thoughts of suicide
He wanders if anyone can still see the scars
If anyone cares enough to ask
To ask why
Why did you do it
Why
He goes from day to day confused
Wandering why he did the crap that he did
The drugs
The alcohol
The razors
Wandering why he ever did
Knowing that they were wrong
Knowing that they saved his live
But still wandering why
He wanders if there is a way out
He prays daily for the pain to go away
But it always seams to come back
He wanders why God lets the pain keep coming back
He prays for a answer
An answer as to why
Why does the pain keep coming back
Why
He sits in the dark crying
Scared to let anybody know
Scared of rejection
He knows exactly what it's like
To sit in a crowded room
And feel totally and completely alone
He fights to restrain the tears
All because of his biggest fear
All because he knows that if anyone hears
Things will only get worse
Why is the world so cruel
Why
He has a hard time trusting people
He feels that he cant
That he cant tell anybody how he feels
He's been betrayed to many times
Why is the world so cold,
So cruel
Why
He wanders why cant they accept you for who you are
Why do they feel that they have to lower and degrade others
To make themselves feel better
He wanders why they cause so many to kill themselves
He wanders why the world is so so cold
So cruel
The only thing that keeps this guy from killing himself
Is the kind words of the few good people who actually care
Who show compassion to others
Even if they don't know them
They love them like they do
He thanks God for these people
These people who kept him alive
And if you're wandering who this person is
It's me
I still need your prayers
I'm still having problems
I go in and out of anger and depression
Sometimes for no reason at all
Your prayers help me
And you're all heroes
Weather you know it or not
You saved my life
So to all of my real friends
And the people who helped me
Even though you didn't know me
THANK YOU
From the bottom of my heart

Love

To love is to live, to love is to die

Many many people, let love just pass them bye

 

To love is to destroy, to love is to create

To love is to give your all, to the one you call your mate

 

To love brings life, to love brings death

To love all your life, to love to the death

 

To love with your life, to live till you die

To love with every breath, till the day you say goodbye

 

A little love here, a little love there

Everywhere I go, love seems to fill the air

 

To love as a friend, or maybe even more

To love till it hurts, it'll truly make you sore

 

To truly loose all love, would be to loose your soul

It would rip away your heart, and leave you with an endless hole

 

Love controls the Earth, and the very fabric of time

Love is also tricky, like walking a long and narrow line

 

Love is why we're here, but it's also what we fear

Love is in the essence, of each and every tear

 

To love is to live, to love is to die

To love is to teach the world, how to spread its wings and

Sickness

Today my strength
Forever my weakness
Today my health
Forever my sickness
Pulling me down with a violent spin
Tempting me to do an incredible sin
Releasing all of my anger and pain in a fury
One simple yes and I'm theirs in a hurry
Ultimate strength
Ultimate weakness
Ultimate health
Ultimate sickness
Running a path of violence and pain
All with absolutely no kind of gain
Everyone knowing and fearing my name
Everywhere I go it's always the same
Worldly strength
Forever my weakness
Worldly health
Forever my sickness
Hosting these demons is taking it's toll
They're eating away and destroying my soul
Holding me down and dragging me away
Help me dear God, I don't know what to say
Please take me out of this violent spin
Please forgive me of this incredible sin
Please restore the peace I once had
Please dear God, I'm tired of being mad
Forever my strength
No longer my weakness
Forever my health
No longer my sickness
Now I look up at the sky towards you
Everything I have, I owe it all to you
I'll never forget what you've done for me
Now I can talk to you on a knee
Now I'll talk to you as a friend
For every wound you've been able to mend

My Struggle

A never ending battle reeking havoc in my mind
Oh how I wish i could leave this all behind

For a truly endless time, one side fires at the other
Each and every time, makes me want to run for cover

Chewing on my being, way down deep inside my soul
Each and every one, leaves me with a giant hole

It stares me in the face, with a truly evil grin
I really have no clue, that says i can truly win

One side says I can't. one side says i can
And one side says don't listen, suck it up and be a man

Still I try to scream for help, and tell people I'm not well
But all I get is silence, and it's putting me through hell

It punches me and smiles, it spits on me and laughs
And at the same time, it still stabs me in the back

Steeling every bit of trust, I've had for all my friends
Telling me that they don't care, that we can't make a mends

Stabbing me right through the soul, the essence of my being
A truly heartless torture, such as none you've ever seen

I finally turn my head towards God, and ask him on my knees
Please take this pain from me, I beg you dear God please

Despite what i may have thought, he made me look and see
He wrapped me with his warm embrace, and then he lifted me

Now I know without a doubt that he is truly there
I also know for all my life, that he will always care

Left Alone

My spirit's slowly fading, falling further in the dark

Consuming all that's me, from the very start

 

Betrayed by my emotions, I'm left here all alone

If I can't find the answers, my heart will turn to stone

 

No more calls for help, it's useless with no voice

I'm blind inside this darkness, I'm left without a choice

 

I've begged God for some answers, fully desperate pleas

I still don't have a clue, I'm left here on my knees

 

Broken in the darkness, nobody sees me cry

Abandoned in this silence, I'm left alone to die
