The Here and Now

Just a few words 
To express how I feel
Just a couple rhythms
To make my pain feel real

I write,  I draw,  I paint
Just to help me not to cry
I beg, I plead,  I whine
I laugh, tell me why

I'm lost in this world
Trying to find my  place
I long for the moment
To feel a smile on my face

My Depression Has a Name

Tonight  is different
It's wanting something more
No longer speaking gental
This pain has a roar 

My depression has a name 

It's almost devoured me
Even though I fight
My spirit is now broken 
It's gonna take me tonight 

My depression has a name 

Confusion fills my mind
And  fear  is  within
Truth is, I'm weak 
Darkness is gonna win 

My depression  has a name 

I'm lost and confused
I continually cry
This name is my destination 
It's called suicide

The Girl That Thought She Could Fly

There was a girl who once 
Thought she could fly
Soaring daydreams of gliding
Way up high in the sky

Vivid visions of flying away 
From all of her sorrows
If she could get away she 
Could have happy tomorrows

 she tried to follow
 her desperate dream
Gathering feathers 
Tightly sewing every seam

Every feather put together 
Carefully by their color
If they just seen her fly 
Maybe they would love her

She began to doubt herself
And all that she done
No one to encourage her 
Dubbed the crazy one

Whispers of their laughter
Echoed when she wasn't around
She wanted to disappear 
And leave that little town

She had no more faith 
In making her beautiful wings
All the evil words said left 
Nothing but a burning sting

Before long, she was broken 
All she could do was cry
There was a girl, who no longer
Believed she could fly

Finding Myself

I had went looking for myself
Searching the places I'd hide
I thought I could ever hear 
Her innocent muffled cry

I looked in every room 
And behind every looked door
I felt she was waiting on me
Desperately wanting something more

I got lost in my prison 
In its walls that twist and turn
The deeper I went in
My skin would start to burn

Cofusion consumed me 
Things that's my flesh would crave
Little did I know, I was holding
The shovel that digs my crave

She knew I was coming 
And hid from me in that dark place
She didn't want me to see 
Her distorted wicked face

Demons now comforted her
For me, she would humbly pray
She wanted me to be at peace
For Grace to free me one day

How Can It Be

how can it be 
that i sit here all alone
here in this house
that we call a home

we are so different
you and i
you sit so happy
as you watch me cry

ive asked you before
if i should just go
i dont feel i belong
you hate me i know

just be honest
let me know whats real
so full of games
pain is all i feel

My Depression

I am lost within myself
I feel I can't break free
My thoughts and emotions are torturing me
I wishni could identify what "IT" is that is consuming me
All I know,  is IT is my enemy
For years now, this enemy has kept me in his eye sight
I've known him, even considered him a friend
Although I hated him
My addiction kept him at a distance
Men, sex, drugs, alcohol and self mutilation 
Even from afar, even when I thought he was gone
He would creep up and laybright beside me
At times I would even welcome him
Now I'm left alone to face him
Just me
I wanted desperately to fight him on my own
Although I knew IT was going to be hard
Cause I could feel his fingers on me
NOW?
Now Intel I'm losing the battle 
Cause I feel him completely wrapped around me
Mind, body, and soul
Even my heart 
He no longer just lays beside me At night
He has devoured me
Consumed me
I am he.. he is I 
I no longer have anyone to catch my tears
They are wasted and useless
I fight him all day
I'm screaming for comfort

If You Only Knew

When I first meet you
I still believed in love
The kind of sweet love
Only a little girl dreams of

When I first met you
It was like a dream come true
Nothing could stand in our way
I believed in us, I believed in you

I trusted you with all of me
I let you see this broken heart
I let you see this naked soul
You'd catch me if I fell apart 

I look back on those moments
And wonder how foolish could I be
Although I gave you my all
You didn't feel the same for me

That love that I was dreamed of
Is nothing more than a plaque on the wall
A decorative piece to fill in the space
Something cheap you buy at the mall 

And that's the end
No reason to cry or be sad
Something you took for granted
You'll never know what you had

Beauty In the Scars

The scars on my heart
Seen by the slaches on my skin
To feel the pain
Rising from deep within

Death is not the wanting
Blackness is not the desire
Imagine of the blood
Could smoother the fire

She desperately reached out
In riddles and ryhms
Trying to put the pieces together
Of all the hard times

The thorn that twist and turn
As it punctures my side
No one hears me scream
All my silent cries

Unspoken Words

Unspoken Words
April of 2008 


I know you would love to tell me
 all the things that you feel
But before you do, you got to decide
what is fake and what is real

Our memories are so distorted
We wonder if they are only dreams
The pain hurts deeper 
With no one to hear out screams

There are so many things
That you will have to learn in this life on your own
You see, id like to be there with you
So you are never alone

You are never going to find yourself
If you keep hiding behind your pain
So much could be different
There is so much you would gain

Im not your enemy
I could be your best friend
Id be there if you’d let me
Id be there til the end

Take it how you will 
But I speak from my heart
I want you to know that I love you
And I hurt cuz we are apart

Brotherhood

I am surviving in the face of blood
       I can not seem to find the words 
         I need to say as I feel my way
          Through the faves of society
                 Only to change us
             As they laugh with apathy 
             They try to take our purity 
                And our reverence 
          They try to control us with
         Thier demented justifications 
    Of their way of saying they are right
        With their alternative motives 
         That they try so hard to hide
      with our tenacity we must endeavor 
     To audaciously stand up for ourselves
               Stand up for brotherhood
