happy

I can't remember when the last time i was happy. 
I mean I don't even know the feeling or if there's any left in me.
what did I do to deserve this? 
I was just a kid when mommy first hit me. 
I didn't know why, and I didn't dare ask questions. 
I was just a kid when I saw my mom drink that hole bottle of liquor. 
I can remember that, but I can't remember this last time I was happy, and I ask myself. 
was I ever happy?

people say it's her loss

People say” its her loss”
But was it her loss when i stayed up all night
Wishing she would call?
“It's her loss” 
But was  it her loss when I lost her? I felt like I lost everything.
“Its her loss” 
But shes my  mom
I shouldn't have to beg for her love… 
“Its her loss “
But was it her loss when all I wanted was her?
“It's her loss”
But she  wasn't the one whos world ended when she left 
“Is her loss” 
But was it her loss when I cut so i dont miss her?
Im so sick of everyone saying it was her fault 
Bc its not 
I just bought the bad side out of her 
But “her loss right?
“It's her loss” 
But she's not the one dying inside

the day after you killed yourself

It's the day after you killed yourself 
Your bed is the same 
Your bf is texting you seeing if your ok 
Your uncle comes into your room to make sure you are ready for school
And sees you laying there..not breathing 
He starts panicking and calls your other uncle crying he can't seem to find the words..
Your dogs are whining at your bed winding why your not moving 
 The police get there and announce that  you are dead.
It's a week after you killed yourself and everyone is at your funeral even your mom
The service was so sad and everyone couldn't believe it 
You seemed to be doing so well…
After the service your uncles went home and cried 
It's a mouth after you killed yourself 
Matthew doesn't talk about you anymore because it hurts him to much 
Everyone is hurting and doesn't understand 
Bailey still can't believe she lost her best friend 

Now it's been years since the night you killed yourself because you thought you were a burden and everyone would be happier without you but the truth is ..
There not 
You will be missed… 
Your uncles still haven't moved on they tell you goodnight and they love you every night even though your nor there 
So just remember kendall it won't last 
This pain your feeling 
It will go away 
And always remember that you have people that would not be ok if you left this world 
You're more special than you think..

at the end of the day

At the end of the day 
How do you feel?
Are you ok?
Can you sleep peacefully?
If so, good for you.
Because at the end of the day
I'm in pain 
And i stay awake  until my demons give me peace 
But they never do 
At the end of the day 
Where do you see yourself 
Dead or alive?
Happy or sad?
Are you lonely?
Are you your worst enemy ?
Or do you go to sleep filled with dreams of hope and laughter
Cause i don't 
I fell asleep hoping i'll  wake up someone else 
Tell me 
What's your worst fear at the end of the day 
Is it that it's  going to rain tomorrow? 
Or is it that I hope the rain in my head will go away?
At the end of the day?

not enough

love its a crazy thing
 really
it makes people go nuts
they'll  do things they never thought they do but most of all it breaks you 
it tears you apart it  leaves you naked and bruised 
someone once asked me have i ever been in love 
and i said i was or at least i thought i was 
but we really never know do we?
maybe its the butterflies or the way he makes you blush 
or when he kisses you you feel like the world just ..stop's
but one day it will all go away and all thats left is this crushing pain 
and you'll wonder will it ever go away 
yea love is great until it kills you until it makes you this person you never knew existed
there you go that's what love really is

                      free of the chains that life has on me 
                    i would sing i would scream i would eat whatever i want
                    without everyone staring at me like im the fatest people ther couls be...
