Second Person Point of View.

Hey you there with the bright orange hair
Standing there giving me a scare 
Looking around with that blank stare 
As if everything was bare..

What are you thinking about? 
seem like you wouldn't like to talk about
all the things that would clear my doubts
This just makes me want to shout 

Look at all these people that are standing around
waiting for you to make a sound
listening to the you have found 
then leaving you to stand around

So Unclear

Why am i here
Forced to live in the fear
Living each day
Trying not to be in the way
Talking with friends
Trying not to see bitter ends
Going to school
Trying not to be a fool
Looking for the reason
To be more than even
Searching for the end
hoping it is just around the bend
So why am i here
I wish the was more clear

Body

Sitting here behind these eyes
Looking at the world and all its lies
Sitting here listening with these ears
Hearing the fools babble about their dears
Using this mouth to talk about 
The thing no one wants to think about
Using these hands to write on the paper
Before the words turn to vapors
Involuntarilly beating this heart
To function these things to make the art
Using this mind to check the lines
To make sure that each word finds
Wile its wasting all my time
The partner into which it rhymes
Using this body to hold together
All these things which could be lost forever

Goodbye

How did she die?
This must all be a lie
I wish i could of said goodbye

All the time i just let pass by
Why am i the guy who could not cry
I wish i could of said goodbye

Just one more year
Maybe it could of been more clear
I wish i could of said goodbye

All the times full of Joy
Playing with all those toys
I wish i could of said goodbye

Even when i didn't believe
You always thought i could achieve
I wish i could of said goodbye

At your funeral I had the chance
But i couldn't find it in me to advance
I wish i could of said goodbye

My Mind

Waging this war on my mind
All this time that has gone by
Trying to find which side to abide
All the words i wanna shout
But they just wont come out
During the day through all the dismay
A few words manage to find their way
Everything on my mind stops like its frozen in time
Hoping the reactions can conclude these actions
Everything goes blank in my mind
All my thoughts are lost
Even after all the sleep I lost
I guess it means there will be
New things that want to take control over me
This must show how life will be
Everyday a new fight fought over me
Friends and family contradicting me
About the war waging inside
They say iv lost my mind
So where does one look to find this thing
People keep calling my mind
