Alone

all alone
beside my bedside
cradling my heart close, am i
desperate for happiness
wondering why they're so blind

i am the one who hides behind a 
smile
joining in laughter at a joke i don't 
find funny
keeping my sadness all locked 
away
longing for the day
when the key will be found

the key to my heart
unveiling the truth
vacant stares will the be gone
waking up after a long slumber
finally i'll be free, to be me

Beating Chest

Up against my beating chest
i hold a knife
up against my beating chest 
in the dead of night
i can't stop the tears that run down my face
i can't stop the fears that won't go away
i fight for the courage to push the blade in
i fight for the courage to make the pain go
i stare straight ahead and close my eyes
i think of a life with only blue skies
i take a deep breath 
and i push the blade through
and my once beating chest
beats no more

For Me

All i write i write for me
not for you, whoever you may be
i write to please but only my soul
i write to ease my heart of cold
you all may tell me what to 
write,when to write
but for you i will never write
for i only write for me
i write what i want and i only show a 
few
because i do not write for you
there are peices that only i have 
ever seen
peices i write for me
these peices are the ones that 
mend me
they help me heal after i've been 
hurt
these writings they are my own
as are all my writings
because unlike you may think
i will never write for you, whoever 
you may be
because i'm to busy writing for me
