Someone Listen

Im in the Darkness of depression In  the depth of my despair. 
I called out into the blackness nobody seems to be there. 
Thay say to ring this number for help you will be seen
But for 24 hour help you talk to a machine. 
So you have no-one to talk to and tell them how you feel 
My brain goes  insane thinking these things are real 
So when I cut myself wishing my life will end
JUST remember all I wanted was someone to listen 
   A DOCTOR NURSE OR FRIEND....

Beginning of the end

Soldiers marching buy gun shots from outside.

We have to run into darkened corners just so
We can hide. 

But they have found us in huddles we are stood

It's pointless to try and run as that would not 
End good. 

Walked to a train station I think we're out of luck 

Stripped of our belongings and loaded into a 
Cattle truck. 

Standing for hour only tears there's no smiles 

The day turns to night we must of travelled miles 

Some with no hats or coats some with no shoes 
On their feet. 

Old and frail dropping down begging for food 
To eat. 

This was the start of the end 6 million lives lost

This was the beginning of the bloody 
                   Holocaust.

Let my

Let my voice calm you when your down
And low. 

Let my arms embrace you so my love 
You will know. 

Let my body protect you and take 
Away your fears. 

Let my lips kiss you gently and 
Wipe away your tears. 

Let my ears listen to all you have to 
Say

I give you all my body to keep you 
Safe today.

Come out of the darkness

Come out of the darkness it's not a
Nice place.

Come out of the darkness and let
 The sunshine hit your face. 

Come out of the darkness it's not 
The place to be 

Come out of the darkness 
And let the sunshine set you free 

Come out of the darkness don't 
Hide yourself away 

Come out of the darkness and let
The sunshine make it day.

I Remember

I remember every punch and every kick.

Every strike with the leather belt every beating
With the stick.

I remember every bone that they made crack
The blood from the whip and the times my
Eyes were black.

I remember every time I had to tell lies
When people use to ask what happened to
Your eyes.

I remember every time in a room with a
Locked door
A dirty stained mattress no carpet on the floor

I remember ripped clothes broken shoes on
My feet.
Being locked away for days with only bread to eat.

I remember the beatings and trying not to cry
And silently praying that God would let me die.

I remember everything like it happened yesterday
I only remember the bad things
Because the good things fade away.

My secrets

I am the keeper of secrets that I can not reveal 

You have no idea of the secrets I keep
And how I really feel

I have been the keeper of the secrets since I was very young 

I have been tormented by the secrets since when they first begun 

Because I keep these secrets in my life I act so brave 

Knowledge of these secrets I must take with me to my grave

Even when I'm gone to heaven or it might be hell 

To the devil or the Lord God above the secrets I will not tell

The secrets I hold would rip many lives apart 

The reason I cannot reveal these secrets is I wouldn't know where to start.

Set me free

When my eyes close for my final sleep
Don't dig a hole to burie me deep

Release my soul into a westerly breeze 
Close to nature flowers and trees 

Make it at sunrise at the first light of day
For The rays of the sun to show me the way

With the mist rolling in and the fresh morning dew 

This is my last request that I hope you will do

So When I close my eyes and I will no longer be

Please do what I ask and set my soul free

Rescue me

Rescue me

In a room full of faces all with nothing 
To say 

Full of anticipation just waiting for a chance to get away

All sat in a circle not talk but in
Silence 

Eye's full of emptiness and a head full 
Of violence
 
Not hearing the words that are coming 
From within 

Just trying to escape the game that they 
Will eventually win

Punishment with violence and getting inside my head 

Not feeling any emotions as my body 
Is numb and dead.

How long will this go on will it ever end

Will someone come and rescue me 
And help my mind to mend

Me a zookeeper ?

The insane things I would  do if I was
a keeper at a zoo

I would tell an owl he's aloud to blink 
And tell a skunk that he doesn't stink

I would show the lion who is king
And teach the bees how to sing.

I tell the hygiene its OK to cry
And encourage the penguins to fly

I would play music for the rhinos to dance
And buy the elephant a pair of pants 

I  would teach the monkeys how to be good
And give the termite vegetables not wood

I would have no fencing to keep them apart from man

I'm off to the zoo tomorrow so I can start my plan

Shot with an airgun

Shot with an air gun just to make me run.

Shot with an air gun just for fun.

Shot with an air gun just to see me fall.

Shot with an air gun just because I was small.

Shot with an air gun just because I was weak. 

Shot with an air gun just because I didn't speak.

Shot with that air gun couldn't turn to my father 
Or mother. 

Because the one doing the shooting was my own
Big brother.
