The Price Paid

What have I done? What has it cost? What have I won? 
I know what I’ve lost.
I’ve come back empty in each hand. I’m confused. I don’t understand. 
my knees start to buckle. I’m losing my strength. Why am I feeling so weak? 
I should call out for help but it seems I forgot how to speak. I’m so heavy, getting crushed by the weight, it’s killing me. Am I being  introduced to my fate. I start to fight but I fear it’s too late. everything is pulling and dragging me down. I’ve been gasping for air. It’s too much maybe I should let myself drown. I start to sink. And for a moment I don’t even think. I’ve reached the bottom and now I’m on the brink, maybe of insanity or maybe some sense my eyes shatter open and my body’s grown tense . I make a break for the light that’s luring me up to the top .
I make a vow to myself to keep going , won’t let myself stop.

Truth About Love

Love may be patient and even also kind.
But love may drive you crazy and just maybe..make you lose your mind.
Can’t have sense along with love. 
One or the other is all you will seem to find. 
Odds are if you go looking for both, you’ll probably be left behind.
Love may linger, some lucky enough to hold onto a love that thrives.
Then you have some that learn of a love that vanishes quicker than it arrives.
Love leaves you hanging….
Could be in anticipation or despair. 
Love cannot always be promised with reciprocation as  loves not always fair.

Maybe

Maybe my wrists are magnets.
Maybe they attract the blade.
Maybe it’s my thoughts that bring about the shade. 
Am I addicted to the site of the crimson flowing streams? 
Is my heart wrenching pain really as overwhelming as it seems? 
Maybe this abusive situation is all just in my head. 
Maybe I should sleep it off and live in my dreams instead.

Burning

I look straight and find my eyes staring straight back
A long list floods through my tears of all that I lack.
I am aching.
I'm sore and I'm breaking.
I give and I give but the world will never stop taking.
But I can't give anymore; it's not okay and I'm sick of the faking.
Faking smiles and laughs, faking almost any emotion at all.
I fake liking myself but if given the chance then right out of my skin I would crawl .
I'm ashamed of feeling so broken and weak even though I know I'm giving wanting to live all i have left.
Yet I climb and still fall.
In return so does my hope.
Constantly hanging my head, hearing I need to lift up my chin .
I bare the scars as cruel reminders of all the hellish places I've been. 
I've believed I deserved the mistreatment and allowed myself to take the pain that I feel for a lifetime too long.
Still dreaming of the day when the smoke finally clears and reveals that I'm wrong, see life paying me back for all the times I've been strong.
Yet the smoke remains thick as I keep trudging along .
I am clinging on to the end; I'm down to the last of my hope.. 
I can't seem to cope. 
I find myself picturing me hanging here where Ive reached the bottom of rope.
I know the world is sick of seeing me mope.
Around and around... 
My heart is dragging me down, like an anchor holding me underwater, I drown.  
Making me want to run away from this town , so far away from this place & these people who  on my name.. 
Crowding and towering over me they glare with fingers pointing with shame.
Its as if I'm who they blame for what they've all became.
Stuck playing these mis-fitting roles in a sick twisted game .
Hoping for change even though it still remains all the same..
All of us burning in the flames of our fires that we never will tame.

Monsters As Friends

Does it need to rhyme on paper in order for me to get it all out of my head? 
If it doesn’t sound good will anyone care what I’ve said?
Got to be sure I’ve got my monsters all in a row before I let them all out.
But they’re still running rapid, savagely thrashing about.
Hurting my brain, I feel them try to embed sturdy strings.
Seems I have been played for a fool, and to be honest it stings.
I see now they just thought of me as their puppet while I had thought we were friends.
I’ve been betrayed, and I think it’s time I get rid of loose ends.
The Voices, these monsters, and my reflection staring back from the mirror.
We aren’t one of the same and it has been becoming much clearer.  I’m not them and they aren’t me.
Finally cutting these strings, For once I'll be free.
No longer letting the darkness have any control over me.

Escape

Let it out
Let it out
Let it go
Shed a tear, shed some light, let it show
Growing up, growing cold, I grew strong.
Keep going 
Keep going
Keep proving them wrong.
They want me to take it and take it and fake it some more.
 I turn around and they stab me expecting me to bleed out on the floor.
 I don’t and I won’t. It’s a surprising twist, but it’s not the end.
They go looking between a rock and a hard place where they hope I’ve been pinned.
I’m not there. I’m up here. I Don’t think I’ll be coming back down.
 I’m not sorry for anything aside from being acquainted with such a sorry a** town. 
I’m getting out. I’ll get out if it’s the last thing I do.
I may be misunderstood and I like that. 
It means I'm nothing like you.

You - Me

This feeling is like being trapped in a nightmare.
 I close my eyes and I lay here. 
Coming down, I try to escape you. 
Trying to hush up these thoughts that race through my brain.
But I can't find the brakes, so fast, I can't stop.
I feel so insane.

Suffocating from your hold on me
Hanging on to me, I hear you taunting me.
I can't shake you.
You're scaring me!  

You've made me so weak,I can't run. 
So under the blankets I hide. 
Theres no use. How can you find me every time?

I can no longer deny that I'm weak for you .
Such a pathetic thing that I'd almost crawl to you.
I know that I hate you,
Yet when I try to rid myself of you I find myself missing you.
I hate to say that it's become more like I'm needing you.
But I refuse to fiend for you!
I'm on my knees,  will I give into you ?

You're a monster .
You don't lurk in the closets.
No need to creep under beds.
Instead, I find you inside of me; controlling my head.
You're a demon attached to me.
Constantly draining me.
Eating and feeding from me.
& slowly, ...I know that you're killing me .
Why can't you just leave me be?
 Stay away from me!
Please
I'm done with you numbing me.

Secrets of Success

I don’t know why I need to drown the world out just so I can learn how to swim. But I’ll still hope for the best, although I may never win.  
Positive vibes, positive thoughts, make room for a positive life. Refuse to be someone that has surrendered to strife. 
I will not be succumb by defeat.  You can knock me down but I’ll still have the whole world at my feet.
I know my fair share of regret, I’ve known my fair share of the pain.
But  I will always believe that there is beauty that comes with the rain . 
We all have days when the rain seems to flood, then you feel you are giving all you have left just to make it out of the mud. 
Just know that if there is mud, that means there is ground. Hope can never be lost if you choose it to be what you just found.
& With hope will come strength.
And strength will give you  all that you’ll need. 
For strength is the seed to grow and succeed.
