Tw: Hurt

Sometimes I can just turn it off
Put it out of my head
No more drowning in my thoughts
No more screaming in silence
No more blistering skin
No more sharp edges
No more feelings

Diving into the deepest part of your heart 
Is always a mistake
For me
It’s like pulling a trigger on a loaded gun
Maybe I should

Seventh Grade

I wear a mask of happiness because it is the only way,
To get me by unnoticed through each horrible day
My sister isn’t here,
My mom and dad don’t care
Too see any pain,
I’ll just stumble and take the blame.
For someone elses actions,
I hide my only fear. 
I embrace the world around,
not shed a tear.
I wear a mask of happiness to get me through the day,
Untill I come to school again and see your smiling face.

The Truth Be Thy Only Medicine

I can't take the truth, though I know what it is right.
 
I can't stand the thought, but someday I might.
 
Be able to look back on memories of you.
 
Thinking about them might help pull me through.
 
Out of the darkness and into the light.
 
You were my sun and my moon, you made my life so bright.
 
You kept it worth living when things went to hell,
 
You picked me back up everytime that I fell.
 
But now that you're gone my life is beyond out of control,
 
I am going on empty, carrying a sorry dead soul.
 
So deep in my heart, nobody can see.
 
But I can still feel their eyes just starring at me.

My Life

My life is unfair and i'm truely unkind,
because I have a love that will never be mine.
Millions of mistakes i've made,
and hundreds of doubts, 
are circling my head or floating about.

I'll never be above only below because my strong love for you,
has nowere to go.
It has weighed me down for so darn long,
I am starting to believe this is where I belong.

I'm suffocating in self-pity,
and drowning in doubt,
only because you won't give me a shout.

Will I move on?
I might find a way,
to be free of this curse will be a very special day.
I won't celebrate,
nor will I mourn.
Because my feelings for you
are so very torn.

It pains me to tell you I have to throw you away,
because I grow in love with you.
More and more each day.
The pain won't continue and the growing wil stop,
but only because you never gave me one shot.

James Robert Henry 4-10-11

I am young and very stupid,
I don't understand very much,
but I know I did not lose you.
We just fell out of touch.

I can still feel you in the hallway each and everyday, 
seeing everybody and making them feel okay.
I'm just waiting for somebody to wake me from this nightmere,
 to wrap their arms around me and tell me you're still here.

I still remeber that fateful night, 
when I lost my bestfriend.
you went away forever,
that I can't pretend.

God took my only angel,
now he is watching over me.
I wonder what it's like in heaven,
I guess I will wait and see.

I'll never understand why the best people in the world have to die
I will never seem to get it, no matter how hard I try.
my life seems jumbled up and I will never be the same,
I guess I will talk to you later love and miss you james

Our Father My Savior

Let's paint the skies with rainbows,

to keep away the sad.

The world used to be wonderful,

but is slowly turning bad.

So we need to step so carefully,

 like walking on breaking ice.

Be nice to our friends and neighbors,

and consider everything twice.

God is looking down on his many children,

and being silent to what we have to say.

We can't get angry or deceitful,

just love, rejoice him and pray.

He will return and lead us to those wonderful pearly gates,

and as we stand before him and confess our every sin,

many of us will wonder "will he even let me in?"

We know our God is forgiving,

and that he loves us so very much,

he will understand if you have stumbled a couple times,

or fallen out of touch.

Just remember our Father loves us no matter what we do.

But only those who praise and rejoice him,

will be allowed to be passing through.

My Heartbreak

Going  to  take this razor to my wrist to see if I can stop the pain
I’m always in the wrong, the one everybody has to blame
The person that hurt me, is having fun with their life
She cut me into pieces, with her double bladed knife

There is a gaping hole in my heart, one that can’t be filled 
To be honest I’d rather be run over, hit by a truck and killed.
The tears trickle down my face like the rain falls on the earth
You told me that you love me, then that I had no worth

Putting the pieces of my heart together with some tape and glue
The one person I thought I could trust, the one that could pull me through
Just stabbed me in the back without any regret
Even though I loved her since the first time we met

Going to take this razor to my throat to see how much it bleeds
I sit here and wait for the angel that I so desperately need
I really thought I found her, turns out that I was wrong
I am so far into this pit, but  it feels like I belong.

Alexandra

It’s the softness in her eyes
They reflect all the pain
It’s the way her nose crinkles up when she laughs 
Her lips curl above her teeth
And her eyes, glimmer 
And she is radiant
And she is brilliant
And our love is forever

It’s the way my hands run through her hair
The way her words dance through my heart
The way she sets my world on fire
It burns hot, but with a lot of destruction 
My heart will never be the same

That’s what love can do to you
And to me that’s beautiful

Going On

When I was 14 
I was scared of being lost
I met my best friend
Who picked me up
And she said the world would go on

When I was 15
I sat with my best friend
I told her I loved her
She kissed me
And said the world would go on

Two months later
I lost my brother
My best friend held me while I cried
She said the world would go on

When I was 17
I met the love of my life
And when she left
I didn’t want my world to go on


One month later
She came back
But didn’t stay long
And the world went on


Every now and again
There’s a whisper in the bitter wind
The cold bites my face
The tears stain my cheeks
I sit alone
I think alone
And I dream alone

Two months went by
And I have scarred thighs
I take another shot to drown the pain
I cry for her, I grimace
Because I know the world will go on.
