Skylar Haner Poem
Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go
There's more than meets the eye
A broken boy inside
Trying to fight depression
Fallen prey to the great deception
Life at home is tough
He's almost had enough
Searching for a meaning
Not sure which way to be leaning
Headphones in twenty-four seven
Want's nothing to do with God or Heaven
Lost, confused, alone
Scared, no place to go
Fighting demons deep down
He'd go to hell before he'd make a sound
A glimmer of hope just out of reach
She shows him her ways, tries to teach
An angel in the dark, a bullet hitting the mark
A life line before it's too late, a chance in time, fate
Don't judge before you know
Don't laugh before you go
There's more than meets the eye
A broken boy inside

Skylar Haner Poem
Looking in the mirror, who is this I see?
Because this person that I'm looking at cannot be me
But possibly it's what is underneath, buried alive
Begging and screaming, pleading to be free
It's growing in me, this human sin and disease
Pathetic as it seems, temptation has me down on my knees
I'm invisibly bound by this crown of thorns
I've got this being chasing me with a tail and two horns
God, take my soul or whatever is left of it
Pick up the pieces and Satan you can have the rest of it
As for life in general? Hell, I'm fed up with it
Between the lies and the hate it's hard to keep my head up
Feeling like I can't go another day but then the rain starts to let up
I feel like a clown, disguised in a ridiculous get up
Wearing a mask so know one knows exactly how I feel
My trust is gone, it's too much of a risk to be real
So I'm standing in the mirror wondering, Who is this I see?
Because this person that I'm looking at cannot be me

Skylar Haner Poem
Stuck in my head, lost in these thoughts
Thinking of the past and battles I've fought
I'm too far gone so I'll say so long
Doing right can't make up for the wrongs
I'm trying to forget constantly and honestly,
Honesty makes it harder to cope
Hanging by a thread of this rope called hope
My parents are always fighting, I'm not saying that to complain
I just want to enlighten you to some of my pain
If they don't care then I won't either
Feels like I'm playing a game of follow the leader
And to my friends who claimed they'd always be here?
Why, you're farther away now then you ever were near
I get it though, you've your own problems, own mistakes
Turns out all your other so called "friends" turned out to be fakes
You don't like yourself so you're trying to change
I'm not judging though, I also am to blame
Maybe that's why I'm sitting on my bed at three in the morning, knife in hand
Considering cutting my wrist, I'm just confused, trying to understand
See, if I painted a picture for you it would look like this
A tattoo on my forehead that says ignorance is bliss
I write these words to get them off my chest
God knows what would happen if they got through to my head

Skylar Haner Poem
My heart is beating but it's such a hallow noise
I let you go but don't you know it wasn't my choice?
Pushed me away what else could I do?
It's all my fault, why don't you tell me something new
I've been through this one too many times
I always seem to cross that invisible line
The point of no return, maybe this time I'll learn
The flames get hotter the longer they burn
Walked into your trap, eyes open wide
Or that's what I thought but I think I was blind
So pointless, so hopeless, such a waste of time
This game called love is for those who've lost their mind
Told myself I wouldn't fall for you, I was already down
What's the point of words if I'm speaking to the ground
The last time we spoke has been days, weeks
You said you loved me...Your silence is what speaks

Skylar Haner Poem
If I was the master of the mind, I'd go back three years in time
Redo the mess we made in the name of love and never write this rhyme
Every mistake we ever made I'd take captive and bind
Throw it in the ocean, a thousand feet deep, for the gods to find
What I wouldn't do to take back what I've done
What I wouldn't give to go back a hundred suns
With each passing day the memory fades
The one where you said you'd be a fool to walk away
Oh, you're a fool to walk away
If I was the master of the mind, I'd take back every cruel word
Listen to you talk instead of wanting to be heard
Minute after minute passes as the past becomes blurred
This deafening silence only makes me realize my words have been slurred
What I wouldn't do to take back what I've done
What I wouldn't give to go back a hundred suns
With each passing day the memory fades
The one where you said you'd be a fool to walk away
You know you're a fool to walk away
