My Heart No Longer Bleeds For You

Sleepless nights
Held myself tight 
All alone 
I’m on my own
Tell me you love me 
Tears down my face 
Throwing myself all over the place 
Filled with anger filled with hate 
Why did I leave my heart to break?
You knew what you were doing 
You never ever cared 
I’m stone cold sober 
Disaster in the air 
No more love 
No more tears 
No more phone calls 
No more fears
No more kisses 
No more hugs 
Because my heart no longer bleeds for you 
It will never bleed for anyone else *sigh*  
Heart breaks happen to everyone but remember there is always light at the tunnel

As I Lay In the Meadow

As I lay in the meadow of flowers blue sky and peace. I slowly drift to sleep  

Looked up at the sky 
Yelling asking why 
Took a bullet to the head 
Screamed good damn it
I was dead. 

Layed down in the grass 
This is death it will last 
Felt the blood rushing from my head 
Thank god I am dead 

My soul is now in heaven 
And my body is in the ground 
My heart is down in hell 
And I don’t make a sound 

Suicide was the answer 
The gun was the key 
Put the key in the door 
Im as dead as dead can be 

Down there my life had no meaning 
But up here im like a queen 
Living life with no regrets 
Living life were its not mean 

Waking up every day is a joy 
Down there it was fire and smoke 
As the smoke would burn my eyes 
And all hell would break loos 

Dad would always hit me 
Mum would always be high 
They never got over my sisters passing 
But just made me want to die 
Took their anger out on me
And never really spoke 
Just kept that bottle of jack 
And the pack of smokes

My mother and father never worked 
It was I who had to support 
So I wonder how they will do now…..

I’ve never felt freer 
Never felt more alive 
Never felt this happy 
Never wish to die…. 
As I lay in the meadow of flowers blue sky and peace. I slowly drift to sleep…. And suddenly wake up to speak.

Sister Why Don'T You Love Me

Sister why don’t you love me? 

I want to mean the world to you 
To be that open hand 
To stand by you forever 
Sister why don’t you understand 
We’ve been together forever 
But still you push me back 
I hate it when we fight my world goes under attack 
You never ever listen to me 
It’s like I’m never there
But I have loved you always dear 
And I will always be right here. 
I want you to read this 
To cry into me 
To tell me that you love me 
And how much you’re proud of me
I wont to spend a day with you 
If that’s all I can get 
Because just that little day  
Will be the day I won’t forget

A Better Family

I wish I had a new family 
That loved me all the way 
That asked me how my day was 
And tells me it ok 
To feel strong and beautiful 
To let nothing pull me down 
But im small and helpless 
And dad leaves me on the ground 
Shattered ribs 
And bleeding lips
Never did me good 
For when I go to school 
I never feel to good 
I want to tell the teacher 
I want to tell them now 
I want to be safe forever 
But forever is not long enough. 
He will always try to find me 
To drag me by the hair 
To find a way to torture me 
And strap me to the chair 
But I will soon be big and strong 
And he will never touch me again 
And I will make shore 
He never lives again

To Die At the Beach With the Roses

Gentle night 
Hold me tight 
Feelings grow
 I’m all alone.
 Starless skies 
Meet my cries
 In the dark 
We lost our spark
 let me go 
I want to know. 
How you feel
. What went wrong?
 It’s like reality put into a song.
 Why don’t you look at me?
 Why don’t you care?
 Why do I see my heart broken lying there  
Why didn't you pick it up
Why didn't you see
Through all your troubles good or bad there was always me.

Berry me under the roses mum that looks over the sea. I want to be at peace mum and at peace you will let me be. Visit me every day mum lay your flowers down. Tell me all your troubles mum. Troubles from day to dawn. Tell my sister how much I love her and give her everything. For I will be up there mum were the roses look over the sea.

The 16 Year Old Bullied

As I walk along the corridor
My hands at my sides 
Looking at the bully 
His hands big and wide 
He makes a massive fist 
And punches me in the face 
I hit the ground harshly with a solid punch 
For my  words they did no good 
Tried to walk away 
But I never really could 
His arm is stretched out wide 
Ready to go again 
I close my eyes tight and then I count to 10 
1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10….BOOM 
The taste of red filled my mouth 
As it leaked all over the floor 
I had lost a couple of teeth and of this yes im shore 
The pain was like fire that torched you if you touch 
Now im lying on the floor bleeding out my guts

Kicking and punching my stomach
He showed no remorse 
As the hits just kept on coming I slowly lost some tears 
I was like a dog crying for mercy 
But none was ever showed 
Chocking on my blood finally there came the blow 
He punched me right in the temple 
And the pain just went away as my soul left my body 
I slowly drifted away

School Is Hell

WARNING: PLEASE NOTE THAT WHAT I WRITE ABOUT IS ALL TRUE.... I WRITE ABOUT WHAT LIFE IS LIKE FOR ME AND WHAT LIFE IS LIKE FOR OTHERS. AND WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND FELT. I DO NOT MEAN TO OFFEND ANYONE. 

Hidden in the corner 
You will never find me here 
Hidden under shelter 
A place without fear 
A place where I can cry 
And sell my soul away 
To lay alone in darkness 
Each and everyday
To ditch all of my classes 
To avoid depression and pain
I don’t know how much longer I can take it 
How much i will gain 
For my heart can barely take it 
There is clearly something wrong 
Why am i hated? 
Why am I feared? 
Why am I avoided? 
Now it is all clear 
It’s the way I look 
The way I am 
The way I see things 
The way I feel 
The way I love 
The way I hate 
Well now I will close the gate 
You will never ever look at me 
Never get close 
Never get  near 
Never know my pain 
Never know my fear

They Punish Me When I Stand Up For Myself

the problem to my life 
is that i live a lonely life 
i speak to no one 
im all alone 
all my problems are big and grown 
cant trust anyone 
they all have betrayed 

i have never asked for help 
for i thought i didn't deserve 
for the treatment that i get 
is one i wont forget 
to breath the air in peace
and to be able to get to sleep 
is what i dream to do 
even when i feel so blue 

time is not a friend 
as i find it hard to pretend 
that my life is good and great 
being alive is a big mistake 
thought everything would be alright 
got so bad 
held myself tight 


crying on the bed 
with my head in my hands 
listening to them screaming out demands 
i scream at there feet

"leave me alone 
"let me do my thing 
"i do everything you want 
" just let me do one thing 
" let me please rest 
" its truly for the best 
" i need to rest my head 
" feeling drained 
"feeling dead.

get up off the floor 
and do what we ask you now 
you selfish little cow 
we ask you to help out 
and now you scream and shout 
its not like you to say 
leave me alone....
i have to say you surprised me good 
but im not one to do you good 
do as i say now or you will get hurt 
dont live by my rules 
sleep in the dirt

Why Don'T You Notice I Love You

if i gave you money you would ask for more 
if i died to save you 
you would ask what for


its because i love you god dam 
but its you who does not see 
that through all your dark times 
there was always me 

lied for you yesterday 
told them it was me 
now im sitting in detention 
sad as sad can be 
you say thanks for the chocolate 
and you walk away from me 
it hurts my heart so much 
that you barley notice me

Unjustified Love

Im pushed 
Im punched 
And beaten 
Im helpless and im weak 
I need someone to love me 
To help me go to sleep 
To tell me that’s its over 
And not to cry no more 
For all that violence is over 
And to tell me that hes shore 
We used to be so happy 
We used to be in love 
Now he just comes home angry 
and this home has lost our love 
I could never give him children 
I could never give him sons 
I could never be that mother 
I could never be the one 
So he hurts me  out of anger 
And I cant do anything now 
For I am waiting for a savior 
to help me out for now
