Crashing Around Myself

Maybe I’m drowning in my own thoughts 
Maybe I’m living in my own storm 
Maybe the trauma of the past are the waves crashing around my ship 
Maybe the clouds and pouring rain drops are the fear surrounding every decision 
Maybe the swirling winds around every moment of life are the negative perception of hear say of events that have happened 
The hole causing the ship to sink is the words of the people sitting and staring just watching it drown 
The death of air is the suffocation of silence 
Use your voice is all that said
But in a wreck where your voice has been drowned out by all of the background noise for so long 
Hope is what has been lost 
The disappointment is what you have become 
Now lost in the waters of your own head 
Drowning in the conclusions of perceptions instead

Forbidden Secrets

Forbidden secrets I could never tell
Shared memories that have put us both through hell
One sided point of view 
You forget I was there too 
My mistakes I have made
Hoping you were the one that stayed 
By your actions I have been deceived 
I guess things weren’t as I believed 
Away from my life you faded fast 
Now your just a memory of the past 
With us time has changed much 
Adding a sense of life’s touch 
A bond now broken 
Was a life lessons token

Demons of Depression

A cry for help that goes unnoticed 
One in which my mind lost focus
My silence shows the way I feel 
Until my thoughts have had time to heal
Losing my voice is not my choice 
Anxiety won’t let the words come out 
In my head they scream and shout 
They travel at a pace so fast 
A black shadow is what they cast 
Speeding faster than I can process 
My words have become my biggest losses 
Shutting down without control
It is something that takes its toll
For many people think they get to me 
But, for that’s not true reality
For I just need time to think 
About the way my words should link 
A minute to just think and breathe 
So my head is the space that I can leave

The Darkness Unfold

Crumbling beneath the mold
You have many stories untold 
Sitting in a world of darkness, with all of its temptation
Leaves you with a mind numbing sensation
The thought of suicide crossed your mind 
In your head your life plays on rewind 
You’ve been on this downward spiral
And some of it has went viral 
You claim the voices just get louder, 
Making the darkest of days crash like waves of the ocean
Causing in many people’s lives a huge commotion 
The cause of the current circumstances is self induced 
Many peoples trust you have completely misused 
Although I want to be there for you in your time of need 
My personal health is not where I can continue to let you feed 
When it comes to the boundaries I have set 
Many times you’ve pushed past them, leaving my sanity in debt
This fall is one I can take no longer 
It is in my efforts to try to remain stronger

Troubled Time

I miss you more than you will ever know 
Through your truest actions, your deepest feelings show.
Years of life don’t seem to matter 
Through time I watched our friendship shatter 
You said you’d never leave 
Those words in which I believed 
They turned out to be a lie 
Something in which I have to deny 
I knew care and caution were the key 
But I let my guard down finally 
A friendship I hope to reconcile
But our wrongs have us both in denial
Til death due us part were your words 
Ones in which this fight laid swords.

Another Soul

Another angel taken way too soon
Another soul we have to talk to looking at the moon
Missed by many with the joy you spread 
In our hearts your memory is always led
Even through your struggles you gave the world so much hope
And affected by your loss we all have to learn how to cope
We can be at ease knowing you are out of pain
But forever in our hearts you have left your stain

Damage Repair

Through the past two years I have made one decision that has changed my life
One decision to walk away and end the strife 
Though times were bitter, they were also sweet
I chose not to accept defeat
Many people walked away 
Those of many who claimed to stay
In a time of crippling anxiety
I had to work on my propriety 
I had to realize I endangered my mental health
By condemning every inch of myself 
Trying to do what others thought best 
I had laid my soul to rest
Being a shell in an existing world
I watched as insanity swirled 
In a time where I had become toxic 
I knew I had to leave the feeling of being boxed in
Becoming distant from the world I knew 
And keeping in contact with very few 
I started to repair my soul
Against the damage that took its toll
For those of you that stuck around 
I’m forever grateful for your sound

Scattered Thoughts

Scattered thoughts, they roam around.
On the verge of a mental breakdown.
The screaming and the noise never stop.
They grow faster, louder, more intense
Barely ever making sense.
Begging, pleading, ask for help.
Screaming, crying, you get the round about.
They jump around inside your head,
Making you wish you were dead.
Fighting the urge of fatal actions,
No one ever sees her simple tactics.
The scars, she hides them well.
A simple tool she uses to rebel. 
The harm is known, but no one cares.
All she gets are peoples blank stares.
The hurt runs deep,
As it all seems to seep.
All her thoughts of anxiety
Have become nothing more than a society 
They raise her up and push her down, 
Frantically she searches all around 
Stuck in her depressive state,
Things always seem like a huge debate.
She does her best to succeed,
But sometimes she can barely breathe.
Her grip on life is fading fast.
No one knows how much longer she will truly last 
Her struggles bring her to today, 
To what she wonders what to say.
The thoughts that travel through her mind,
Race and taunt and keep her blind.

Fading Life

Her skin had become the canvas for the unmarked pain 
The color of red dripping across her wrists covering that of a tears stain 

Losing sight of everything she has lived for 
Standing there knocking on deaths door 

Begging pleading for him to let her in 
Stating her heart can’t stay in this world of mortal sin 

The fact is she had been feeling this way for a while 
And no one noticed in her phase of denial 

She stood there each day in front of the the people who said they cared 
Slowly fading away as they just watched and stared 

Standing there watching her as she pushed herself beyond her limits 
Everyone preaches rules that no one implements 

All it took was for one inconvenience to the higher power 
And now her strength is what must tower 

When she stood there and tried to talk 
Her feelings is what they all would mock 

When it became to much for her to bare 
They all stood there with a confused glare 

They stated she never had mentioned it 
And now at their table is an empty place to sit

Toxic Taste

Your words and actions have caused the blood shed 
From them the false perceptions have been fed 

In her life the stain has been made 
You can not take it back 
For others you have managed to persuade 

She now has an army to go against 
But instead in her thoughts she stays fenced 

In a world she feels hated
 trying to cope With the feelings of being jaded 

You took away the only thing in her life that was stable 
And now many people just give her a label 

Hard and harsh and over direct,
But no one thinks about their affect

When problems arise she is never given an opportunity 
Before being judged by an entire community 

You assume she wouldn’t be able to handle 
And her light is put out quicker than the flame of a candle ?? 

Told she is mean and angered 
But what really caused that 
Is her mental health you endangered.
