Free

Scars are fading
Mind's still racing
Giving off thoughts of hating
Myself, but the thoughts aren't worth facing

The thoughts in the night
Stopped by words from a friend
Reasons to stop, I'll be alright
Mind still wanting to bring me to an end

But I'm not listening now
I'm going to be okay
Don't really know how
MaybeI'll laugh at this one day

I'm finally free
No scars, just a little scared
Not going to hurt me
Still handling pain, cuz life's not fair

But I'm free 
And that's all that matters
I'm finally free

Beneath the Mask

Beneath the mask
Tears fall from your eyes
You think no one knows
But I'm not blind
I see past the thin film that is your mask
I see your pain
And I can't make it go away
I see now
That beneath the mask
Lies someone broken and fragile
Like me, someone 
whose mind never quiets, whispering
Dark thoughts of suicide in your ear
Telling you that there's nothing left
Beneath the mask
There's a mysterious person
Who threatens to take away my friend
So tell me, how do I save you from yourself

Nobody Cares

I am numb
Or so it appears
Deep inside I wish I felt nothing
I wish there was no pain
But everything hurts
Every 'caring' word burns
Every broken promise is remebered
And yet all are blind
No one sees my pain
And no one cares
So here in the darkness I sit
I am Nobody and Every One
Here Every One sees me
And Nobody cares
Nobody knows my pain
And Every One listens to my silence
This is my bleak exsitence
Where I am the only one
I stand alone
With Nobody beside me
And Every One behind me
Outside no one sees me
Inside Nobody knows the truth

Deep Breath

Deep breath
It's just a place
I'm just going to see
My grandma
Nothing else matters
Don't look at anyone
Look at your shoes

Deep breath
They're just old
And medicated
Left by their children
Here at this place
To die

Deep breath
No one's okay here
Everything seems stable
But medicated
It's a false stability
And it's killing me
That single beep
Following a heart beat
My mind races
Wondering what it would be like
If that beeping suddenly
Flat lined

Deep breath
She's not hooked up to the machine
Someone in the distance is
My mind wanders
Does any one come to see the
Vegetable hooked up to that machine
That breathes for him

Deep breath
As we leave
It's alright now
But yet it's not
That is not a place to live
That's a place
Where people go to die

Deep breath
Smell of cleaning products
It smells like death
Slipping through the heating ducts

Deep breath
Medicated
Out of it
All just waiting
Hoping
Praying
For death
To take them
In her sweet, loving arms

There Is Always Hope

I know the pain
I know it hurts
But I also know
What you have forgotten
The best days are ahead
Even when it seems this road
Has come to an end
Try walking in a new direction
Tell someone of your pain
For, dear friend, there is always hope
I know you don't care
For what I have to say
But all I speak is truth
Dear friend, I want to save you
I'm no saint
Nor am I very religious
I just know that 
There is always hope
No matter who you are
Or where you're from
Or what has happened
To make you hurt so bad
Open your eyes
Look for the beauty
Not the flaws
Ignore the jealous haters
For they don't know
How strong you are
To wear those scars
If they only knew
Maybe they'd understand
How your differences
Make you so special
When your heart starts to break
And everything aches
There is always hope
And there is always love
I care
Maybe I can't save you
But I care
And I love you
There is always hope
Don't give up

Nothing Can Hurt Me Now

I will not cry
I wont let you have 
The satisfaction
Of seeing weakness
Fall from my eyes
I will not be afraid
There is nothing you
Could do
To scare me now
I am numb
I don't care anymore
Your life 
Isn't worth my fight
Not even worth a thought
Your words
Can't hurt me
Nothing you do
Can hurt me now
