Self Medicated Happiness

SEPARATE ME FROM THE LIVING 
FIND THE WORDS TO MAKE ME BETTER
WAITING BY THE BEDSIDE OF TODAYS DEATH
THINKING THAT IM OK
WITH THE SELF MEDICATED HAPPINESS
THE PLAIN SMILE THAT I SHOW
PULL DOWN THE MASK OF YESTERDAY
AND LET IT ALL GO
BY JOSHUA LLOYD

Sorry

I try to give you everything and make you happy
Why cant things be the way they used to be
Like when we first met you were full of joy and laughter
I loved you so much apparently I'm not the one you were after
I'm sorry
I fell in love with a person who doesn't want me 
Why cant things be the way they used to be
I'm sorry
I stay away and visit once in awhile
When I'm there you tell me you miss me 
And you're happy happy to see me
I'm sorry
Then you leave me empty and full of agony
Left to suffer with so much pain
I wanted to slit my wrists  and let it fall like rain
 Draining all the hurt and pain away
I'm sorry
Instead I shut my feeling off and kept everything bottled up inside
Not daring to show people the things i hide
This is how i get treated for loving you 
Someday your time will come maybe it already has
And that's your excuse for not loving anyone 
I'm sorry
So you go through life not caring about anyone but yourself
Building your own personal prison going through hell
Open up and love someone
Everyone needs someone even if its not me
I'm sorry
You shut me out and your feelings go away
I'm left here with so much pain
You made me experience what you have been through
Tearing myself apart
Shutting people out not knowing what to do
It was killing me without a doubt 
Now i know what this is all about
I'm sorry
I was left so many years shattered
My heart was torn ripped and tattered  
Like a piece of china that was left unnoticed till it mattered
I'm sorry
 Well i will find some one who loves me back
She wil tare down my wall no turning back
I will love her and she will love me
I'm sorry
I'm happier than iv ever been she will make me whole
Loving you was not that bad of a toll
You made me shut people out
Waiting for what seemed like eternity 
Till i will finnd true happiness my destiny
I will ask her one day to marry me
I'm sorry
It still hurts me to see you living in the dark
Like a lost child wandering around lost in the park
Searching for your own happiness sorry it wasn't me
This is how it was meant to be
I'm sorry
One day i know you will find happiness
When you find it you will know what to do
Just don't abuse it hold on caress it and don't let go
If you have feelings for someone let it show
Don't hold it in and he wont let go
I'm sorry
I feel bad for not being able to do more for you
Because I have experienced what you are still going through
But one day it will  be OK stop being selfish and it will go away

No End

RIPPING MEAT
TEARING AT THE BONE
LOST AND CONFUSED
TRYING TO FIND MY WAY HOME
THEY TAUNT AND LAUGH
WITH DEVINE SKILL
ERASING ME PIECE BY PIECE 
DESTROYING MY VERRY WILL
I AM BUT ONLY WHO I AM
I WAS PUT ON THIS EARTH
 TO BE TOURCHERED AND ABUSED
WHILE OTHERS LAUGH
AND ARE AMUSED
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF ME NOW
EXCEPT A SINGLE THREAD
THAT BINDS ME TO THIS EARTH
THE PLACE OF BLOODSHED
SO WHILE I SIT HERE
WAITING FOR THE END
ONLY TO FIND OUT
I WILL BE BACK AGAIN
AND WHEN I RETURN
I WILL SEEK MY REVENGE
FOR MY LIFE IS A CIRCLE
THERE IS NO END

Spinning Wheel

The Spinning wheel is spinning
The thread of life
Is unraveling
Whipping in the wind
To the beat of the moon
Spinning spinning spinning
Making something new 
With the life we have
Make of it what you choose
Hurry up but not to fast
When the thread runs out
What will you have
Will it be something you are proud of
Or will it unravel and deter ate 
And all your hard work
Will mean nothing at all
And the thread of life 
and the needles used to create it will fall
So choose wisely and don’t waste the thread
For when it runs out
They will be nothing left 
So knit wisely and make something 
That will last 
And can be used 
Then you will not have wasted the thread
And you have put it to good use

Weigh Me Down

As my body hangs limp
Swaying in the wind
Back and fourth 
From side to side 
As every breath is 
Stolen from my lungs
I think of all I’ve lost
All my dreams
All my plans
All my future
Drifting away
I cant stay here 
To much pain
Its almost over now
Its to late 
All my problems 
They weigh me down
They pull the rope tight
As it stretches to the ground
Tears pour from my eyes
As I say good bye
Hanging myself
What a way to die

Take It All Away

Suicidal thoughts Of myself
Swarming in my head
I want this all to end
I just want to be dead
Take it all away
Tell me there is more
Than this emptiness
I feel 
I just want to feel whole
Instead of this worthlessness
I am 
Tell me there’s hope
Take it all away
Make me better
So I’m not feeling this pain

Green Grass

May the greenest grass grow 
Where thy body must lay 
For u call it a tomb
I call it paradise 
I go back 
from which I came
Eternal sleep
Withered away
Not all is lost
But everything is gained
The cold damp nights
Drenched with rain
All my problems I once possessed
No longer remain
I am at peace 
No more pain 
No more suffering
Its all faded away
Gone with the old 
In with the new
Hopefully some of my wisdom
Carried through 
To be used to guide 
And for others to stay true
I am with my ancestors
The ones of old
To be reunited with my people
As I watch the new from afar 
Play about and grow old
They to will be reunited with me 
As I was with the old  
They tell me of stories how things once was
They speak of beauty
How plentiful the land once was
And  how things went wrong 
How they died protecting their land
Before it was destroyed  by the hand of man
Now they watch as man destroys themselves 
They of the old don’t understand
Wiping out their heritage it will never end
They fought so hard to protect  their rights
Now they watch as we begin to wage wars upon our selves
And  destroy their heritage by our own hand 
All of this is seen through the age of time
Listen to the wind as it hits your eyes
The tears that are produced are not from the breeze
But from the words of the old as they watch and weep
Look around what do you see
Open up let your heart be free
Listen with your ears not
but with thy heart
Reach out with all your love
And Listen to the breeze 
as it flows through the trees
It speaks of  wisdom 
And how to be free

Memories

My soul feels as if its 
The frosted grass 
The fragile blades 
Covered with the cold of night
And frosted with time
Glistened as the sun rises 
The foot prints of memories 
Still freshly imprinted in the lawn
As they begin to thaw and return green
But you know the foot prints still remain
Although unseen

Blind

Someone i care about allot
Her problems was self taught
She means the world to me
We are so close and it hurts to see
The pain she is suffering why must this be 
We always talked she grew me up
Why cant her problems just stop
I dont know if she will make it through another day
Why cant her problems just go away
She looks to me for guidance and answers
It scares me to think that she might be to far gone
And the only person that can save her doesn't want to go on
She always talks about giving up and dying
And the only reason for holding on is the thought of her daughter crying
We are still close even though she is far away mentally
I try to talk to her but she doesn't here me
She always wants me around
But i cant deal with the pain
I beat my self up every night knowing
That she is not the same 
Tears stream down my face like pouring rain
The love in my heart for her will always remain
We have been through allot thick and thin
I'm scared to think this is one battle i can not win
I search for words to say to make her pain go away
It kills me to see her this way, all i can do is hope and pray
I want her to get better but i don't know how
Its hard for me to help when she is in denial
She is losing her memory and her hair is falling out
She is shutting down this scares me without a doubt
I love her so much i don't know what to do
Let it be a dream i dont want this to be true
This problem she has turned my life upside down
Her once beautiful smile is now a frown
The next step, nervous break down
I need to help her and it needs to be quick
I need to take her pain away so she is not sick
How can you tell someone , they need to help themselves
Before you can get better and start feeling well
How can a person let them self go for so long
Without thinking nothing was wrong
God how could i be so blind that i could not see
That her life was changing in front of me

Dark

dead by day
alive by night
when it is dark
we take flight
feed off of prey this we might
never to be shown
in the light
we rule the dark
and never the day
when its bright
a sleep we must stay
light hurts our eyes
and deteriates our skin
when the sun comes up we must go in
word to the wise 
watch out for thoes who bite
for you might become
allergic to the light
