To a Lonely Soul, Sad of Eyes

A grey, bleak sky surrounds,
Leaves fall silently from branches.
A young boy sits on a park bench,
With nobody else around.

A cold breeze blows past,
The last straw of a lonely soul.
The first tear falls from his eye,
Followed by a waterfall of emotion.

Behind his skin, a life story.
One of pain and solitude.
Nobody cares, he thinks.
No, he locks it inside his heart.

Sad of eyes watching the darkness.
Watching, but never helping.
Perhaps they don't want to help,
Or does he deny his own misery.

My Candles

These feelings, they come in waves.
Feel it coming on again.
The darkness arrives, it hurts.
Crying again, the wax pours out my eyes.

It happens sometimes, I feel kinda bad.
Just take the wax, mould it how I want.
Twist it so it looks better than it is,
I make another candle to put on my shelf.

Should probably burn it, but oh well.
Maybe I'll get there one day but I'm afraid.
Afraid the smoke will choke me out.
So I just put it up on my shelf.

My shelf is full, please let me burn them.
Can't stand to see these symbols anymore.
I just want the pain to go away.
But I'll find a way to fit another candle.

The Sky Is On Fire

The Sky is on Fire this night.
Bright stars sprawl, east to west.
Mesmerising balls of flames,
So high up in that deep, black space.

I sit here in the cool, night air.
Watch as the moonlight shimmers.
I'm surrounded by darkness,
Yet so captivated by light.

Leaves shuffle in the breeze,
Echoing through the valley.
I hear the gentle flow of water,
From the star speckled river.

A special moment in nature,
No camera can replicate.
Breathe in the peacefulness,
Let it calm me down inside.

A Voice and a Pen

Used say I talked too little,
Had no voice to be heard.
Maybe now I talk too much,
Guess I can never get it right.

Through all my biggest struggles,
Whether I talk too little,
Or if I talk too much,
My pen and pad never change.

Words form in the centrifuge of my mind.
Bleeding out my eyes in a dark stream.
It runs down my face, past my broken heart.
Flowing through like a waterfall.

It trickles to my fingertips.
Into the pen that writes my pain,
Drowning the paper in my fear.
A catalyst for my worst thoughts.

Lost In Depression

Guess I'll just hate myself again.
Thought I was over it last time.
No I'm stuck in this loop,
Better for a while but not long.

I may be breaking down.
I need someone to save me, please.
Heartache becoming too much to handle.
Eyes drained of their tears, a drought.

Why do I throw myself over,
Into the pits of depression.
You'd think I would learn one day,
But here I am again, in these pits.

Lost and alone with my thoughts,
Never a good place to be.
Feel the emptiness inside,
Void of all meaning.

The Brink

Unpredictable, never typical.
Maybe I'm criminal, don't know it all.
Sitting on the brink of the unknown,
I slip forwards into the fall.

Insanity, not part of humanity.
All on my own, no parachute.
Chaotic, severance of mind.
Don't want to embrace the wind.

Emotional, and susceptible,
To influencial darkness.
Feel the hours go by,
As I fall deeper in pain.

Incapable, not intentional.
Embarrassment to myself.
Trying desperately not to cry,
As I fall into this impact.

My Only Friend

Oh friend, please talk to me.
Share the burden, just walk with me.
Stop telling me you're fine,
Don't say you're just overthinking.

Overthinking is sinking.
I know, cos I've been there.
Drowning in my twisted thoughts,
A hundred times over.

Pressures on my mind,
Driving me to a manifestation of pain.
Wanting to puncture my heart,
To let it bleed out.

Please my friend, I'm here.
I've been alone a long, long time.
Don't wanna lose the one person
Who's worth living for.
