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

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

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

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

The Road

The road of life is very strange
Never to know 
What’s in store 
Or what lies behind the next door
With its twists and bends 
And its ups and downs
With the joy and pain
Its all around
We live our life
The way we choose
Never to know
What its like in someone else’s shoes
Constantly ignoring those around
Especially those who carry a frown
Their pain and sorrow
They keep bottled up inside
Not daring to show the hurt they hide
The pain and sorrow 
That they feel
All it takes is a friend
To help it heal
Someone who understands
And knows what its like
Someone who has lived 
Through the twists and bends 
The ups and downs 
And for them to tell you 
They made it through
And their still around
Life is hard this my be
And sometimes its hard to see clearly
But never be afraid of the life lived
But be afraid of the life that is unlived
So no matter how hard it may get
never cut your life short
Always strive to live 
Because you never know
Where your life will take you
Or the places you might go
Hopefully this helps someone through
All the choices in life are up to you

Fools Gold

My hopes and dreams 
were built upon fools gold
With false perceptions
And broken dreams
Who am I but a fool
To believe in happiness
Because nothing is as it seems
