When Emotions Run High

When emotion run high and you want to scream and cry. You feel helpless to the trouble at hand. And you know no one will understand.
 I just put on my mask that says
        "EVERYTHING's OKAY."
But I have a sadness as deep as the ocean floor.
That s the kind of pain  that's in betted  in your core. 
My Feelings are so intense, they wouldn't possibly make sense to you. 
You wouldn't understand the things I've been through, how  I Think, or why I do the things I do. They make me weak, they make me strong.
It's a roller coaster of feelings I ride. 
My true self, I do hide.
So I just put on my mask that says                    "EVERYTHING's OKAY."

Hurt

I'm Cold and dark inside is how I feel since you died.
 I'm melting away like winters last snow. 
I feel my heart, every beat.
 My time is near for my heart is broken, never to mend. 
Till I see your face, maybe then I'll be whole again. 
This is eating me alive, devouring me inside. 
I wish this would end, I want to die. 
I hurt, emotionally I hurt, mentally I hurt,  physically I hurt.
That too much for one to bear. 
I'm getting to the point where I don't care.

Humanity Has Fallen

HUMANITY HAS FALLEN.

Many things that were once wrong, have now turned "right." 
People changing, like day to night. 
Stand your ground I say. Open your heart and shine your light.
Take your beliefs and hold them tight
The river is always moving, changing, changing. Yet stays it 's course. it knows the way to flow. 
 Even the mighty lion can sense when danger is near.
 Yet as humans we seem unclear. 
Open your eyes to the world around, she speaks to us clearly.
 Without a sound.

Skeletons

Sobbing with the pouring rain
I am lost in memories of what once took place. The past haunting me from within. Sins I threw into the deepest sea. Still return, taunting me. Secrets and lies eating my very soul. Crushing my spirt and belittles my goals.

Schizophrenic

Schizophrenic 

I look in your eyes, Trying to find the boy I used to know. Now you're surrounded with these chaotic lies, And a demented, twisted  sense of reality.
I honestly don't know the misery you're  trapped in. 
I don't know how to help you, 
I wouldn't know where to begin. 
I wish I could make your demons fade away, hold you close and make everything okay. 
But It's beyond my control,  so I put my trust in God. And now I just pray.

Memories

Memories
Where are you going? Where will you be? You often said Those words to me. 
 Today Thoughts fill my angry head. As you lay helpless, in that hospice bed. I Hold your hand, as you've held mine. And Inside I know, this is our last time.  
You past through life's revolving door.
 Physical no more. 
"Where are you going?" 
"Where will you be?"
my heart and mind  flood with our memories. You are, where you've been all along. Right here with me, where you belong.

To My Mother

To my mother
Mother 
You picked me up, when I would fall. You held me tight. When I cried for no reason at all.
Do not be afraid, I am here to pick you up when you fall. And hold you close when you cry for no reason at all.

I Miss You

I can see your smile, in my memories of you. You used to say " ill be a rock star someday" i wish that could have come true. i sit here trying to remember every word you said. i keep running senecio through my mind . But it ends the same every time. This pain  inside i can not bare. And everything reminds of you.
I whisper  i miss you, as i cry my self to sleep.  I miss you. I hope you know. It seems like forever since you've been gone.   It has not gotten easier with time.   I wipe my tears and say I'm fine. But its not true , i miss you. I miss you, i miss you.

Falling Rain

Sobbing with the pouring rain. Standing in the moment but
I am lost in memories of what once took place. The past is haunting me from within. Sins I threw into the deepest sea. Still return, taunting me. I tried to forget those Secrets and lies. But they Devore me, eating me alive. Diminishing  my sprit and belittling my goals. 
Leave the past behind you. For you can not go back and make a new beginning. But you can always start now and make a new ending.

Do Not Define

DO NOT DEFINE
Yes I am deaf and I am blind. THAT is not who I 

AM. 
DO NOT DEFINE,
Look deeper in me. You have vision yet can you not see? 
THAT is not me.  
You hear my words, but you do not listen to what I say. You continue to create the 
obstacles, you think are in my way. 
THAT IS NOT ME.
look past my disability, and you will plainly see... I fly free. No boundaries hold me.
THAT IS THE REAL ME.
