Manic Depression

Tonight is ending. As my breath slows. My final demise. The final low blow.
 Learn from the broken. See all that's real. Tonight is your heart ache. Tomorrow to feel.
 My time to prove what hate does. My time to show the world how to love. 
This is my purpose. This is my choice. My chance to show you my true voice.
 I've called out for this not to be true. I've heard no answer. Its what I must do. 
No will can save me plus no one will. Ill prove the theory  that words truly kill.
 As I take in this final drop. My world of hurt will begin to stop. Slowly I slip out off into a dream. My final resting to silence my scream.
 Now make this go viral.  Its truly worth time. This is my ending, my final crime.  
Don't try to stop me. You don't real care. I'm done with these mind games. I'm kicking out the chair. 
As my soul drops into the eternal abyss. My words and acting will not be dismissed. 
I lay my head down tonight as a lie. I'm not here any more. Ill no longer cry.
  You take my possessions. Please take  it all. Take all my burdens as I finally fall.
  Take my glee  and take my sorrow take my breath and take tomorrow.  
Take my time, take my will to fight, take all I've ever loved because I'm taking my life.

Crestfallen Angel

My crestfallen angel, I see your soul cry. I see you live in darkness, waiting and praying to die.
 
Your deep souls complexion, and the burden you bear.  Scream to me so silent. A feeling so rare.
 
You wonder out, to not be seen. You can run and run, but can't hide it from me.

 I feel your confinement.  I know its unjust.  You are my diamond just cover in dust.

My slow slipping sweet heart, I know you heart aches. But you cant be disillusioned, I can't see you break.

You brought me from darkness. Made me content.  But when I try to break your walls, i don't make a dent.

Your holy and majestic, but your losing your grip.   If I end up losing you. I can't forgive and forget.

Your all that I long for, the reason I wake.  Choosing to take your life, is  a nonprofit mistake.

Destroy the one who built you. You'll leave us in despair.  Pushing us all way
Is what's really unfair.

My dying delicate, most special delight.  I love you  for a reason, you brighten my night.

I can't let you go, I won't let you demise. You need to realize, for you MY souls cries.

My Chains Are Gone

It's such a broken life.  It's so hard to fight.  When all you've fought for is not real.  How to deal with it.  Is to sit in it. You can't even feel. 
I need some time to think.  I need my one last drink. And maybe it will all be a dream.   When I wake from this.  Not one thing I'll miss.  I'll bring silence to the scream.  

It's time to stand up.  I need to get free. The life that I've had. Has control over me. I need to be strong and I need my faith. I can't let the things I've seen. Put me to shame.

When all is for none.  When we've all had our fun. We don't seem to see te damage done.  Now we know our fears.  And it's not all clear. But we seem to think that we're the only one.
Can't we breathe again. Can't we see again. That this is not how it should be. Can we find a place. Full of peace and grace.  And then truly be free

It's time to stand up.  We need to get free. The life i had has control over me. We need to be strong and we need our faith we can't let the thing we've seen put us to shame.  

So just live your life, with love and sacrifice.  Don't let te dark come in. You must find your peace.  And let your soul be released. And then you can truly win

So its time to stand up. you need to be free. the  life I've had, had control over me.  We need to be strong and we need our faith. We can't let the things we've seen. Put us to shame.
 
Now to see the truth. Is what I need from you. And then we can live our life again.

My Motivation

I've seen what trauma does, I know how hard it hits.  Every one I know  who has it, knows it doesn't quit.

I've been in the darkness, where I felt like a waste of space. When I went into a crowd. I would put a mask on my face.

I never spoke about how i felt, when I did I felt I complained to much. I'd hold it in and explode, because the pressure would build up.

I've been through hell, and I still survive. Because I can't let pain, take my life

Now you will struggle, you must do your best, all that trauma, is your test

If you fail, you'll never see, all the wonderful things, that you can be

Now we all go through hardships, and I know its hard, its all the same deck, we just have different cards.

Now there is people who love you, I am one of them. I will always be by your side, I'll always be your friend

I have issues, that I've never really said, all this imagery, flowing through my head.

I always have been missing, the one I call my dad, now I  really need a father, that I always dreamed I had.

Life is sure not perfect, It was hard for me to learn. I still have the scars on my heart, from every time it burned.

I grew up with my aunt, I never had my mom,  I also grew up thinking, I did some thing wrong. 

I do not blame my mother, because it as was all my dad, when she came to see us, he treated her so bad.

I also lived with my uncle, who came and left again, fighting an addiction. A fight he never wins.

 I was taken from my family, and put in foster care.  I hated everything.  I always said it was not fair.

I  had my demons, I battled every day, I always jumped a hurdle, but they got bigger along the way.

I struggled with my self.  I knew that I was gay, but I hated my self for it, I was told its not okay.

I always tried to fit in, but it was nothing but trouble.  Every piece I tried, never fit the puzzle.

I never was comfortable, with who I was within, depending on who was there, I tried on different skin

I've been crossed, and ive had a beating, but through it all, here I am still breathing.

I've Told you this story,hoping that it helped you, I want you to know , you can always break through.

Now for the closer, i wake up every day, and just before I go to bed, I pray that your okay.

What doesn't kill you, will make you stronger, once you keep that in mind, you will pain no longer

Lone Survivor

I rewrote this song.
This song is called  lone survivor. It was originally written in 2012.

All my life I've been awake, all I see is a world of hate. My broken dreams are in the past. I rise above. I won't finish last.

Now my time to be alive,strong and ready to survive. Leave my burden at this door and be forever ever more.

I'm a lone survivor. I fend for myself. No one to help me out or stand by my side. As I life goes on, I'll stay strong. And fight this battle that keeps me in in this cell. And when I'm in hell, I know I can make it through. Keeping my head up is what I have to do. I'm a lone survivor.

I'll carry my own weight, with my solace and my cross. Through this land of hurt and pain. To many souls I've lost.
 
Out spoken legacy, my time be who I want to be. I'll soar throughout my pain and pride. I'll leave all who make me cry.

I'm a lone survivor. I fend for myself. No one to help me out or stand by my side. As I life goes on I'll stay strong. And fight this battle that keeps me in in this cell. And when I'm in hell, I know I can make it through. Keeping my head up is what I have to do. I'm a lone survivor.

Now my only dream. Is to be set free. My cold dark fantasy is my demise.
My time to fly and touch the sky.
Those answers are feeble why's
I'll break from these faithless lies.

The Other Birds

My broken dream  are in the past, now I move with no backwards glance
I know where that leads,
I'm on a path on my way home, I understand, i once was young, 
But now I can leave the tree.

The other birds, that i have faced.  Have  shot me down,  to my disgrace. 
Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
The one thing they can't take away, are my word or what I say
Never again will I fall, I'll fly higher than them all

I know that, I'm not alone.   For the love, my family's shown
I'll never break my wing
I'll fly high, and won't touch the ground, all the hate won't pin me down
Forever I will sing

The other birds, that I have faced. Have shot me down to my disgrace
Never will I have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
One thing they can't take away, are my word and what I say
Never again will I fall, I'll fly higher than them all

If I shall start to frown, I will sit an listen to the sound
Of wind flowing through my ear
And I will know, that I've found my home 
Because I no longer fear

The other birds that I have faced.
They've shot me down to their disgrace
Never will I  have to crawl, I'll stand proud and I'll stand tall
One of the things they can't take away, are the word and what I say
Never again will I fall , I'll fly higher than them......  All

Everything

Every night I lay awake, praying my soul the lord will take.

Every night I want someone to hold but every night is so damn cold.

Every day, I see them pass. And every time not a single glance.

Everyone just walks on by, and every time I want to cry.

Every piece of every heart. Is the forever reason I fall apart.

And every breath, is the sound of death. And every night I get no rest.

Every time I see a light. It turns out to bring up fright.

Every flaw, is not my fault. But every cry is my first thought.

Because every time, I see a chance. It's turns out that I can't dance.

Every love has shown not to be. Because everyone can't understand me.

Every judgement makes my life vain. And all this time it's been the same.

Every thought is a loss for words. As every soul less game is where it hurts.

Every belief for some thing new. Seems to die because of you.

And every cry goes unheard. As my vocal cords cant form the words.

Every scream is a silent ache. Because everyday I seem to break.

Every inch of my life's road. Has told a story that's growing old.

Every door is a dead end, as every crush becomes just friend

Dance Away

Just dance away, dance away until there's no more dancing space.
Run away, just run away until you find your place.
On the dark you will freeze, until you turn cold but if you see the sun then run to the unknown
Dance away dance away until there's no more dancing space. Run away just run away until you find your place. Show you face just show your face let your voice be heard. Sing away sing away until you can't form the words.
See that there is a chance for you to be free. Move ahead with out a glance to know where to be.
And if you find your path is block by pain. Wonder off and find a way to lead your self home.
And just Dance away, dance away, until there's no more dancing space. Run away run away until you find your place. Show you face. Just show your face and let your voice be heard. Sing away sing away until you can form the words.
Just take a breath take a breath, and know you're alive. Make a stand. Just make a stand and love until you die.

My Independence

My place is where I stand,one, there nothing wrong with me. I like who I am, two, not who you want me to be.

My self is, who I'm most interested in. I only think from what comes from within

I choose my path and I choose my fate.  No going to waste what was worth the wait.

I'm not going to be broken, I'll stand up till the end. Stand with or stand against. Be a stranger or be a friend

You do you, and I'll do me.  I'm not interested in the way you see.

Know one thing, I hold my own. I'm not letting any one choose my road

I can do it for my self.  I'll do it for me and my family, no one else.

Get in my way, its not hard to forget. But you'll end up dealing with your own regret.

Now my words are clear.  And word is fair.  Stand with me here or get lost, I sure don't care

This I me, and my path, your neither my mom nor my dad.

With this now, with what's being said. I'll be loyal, to the day I'm dead

Dont take me for granted, before you act you better think, I'm the farthest from ever being weak

Thanks for listening, now have a good day.  Just a helpful reminder, to stay out of my way.

Lone But Not Alone

What do we do,when friends wish to die,shall we comfort them, and silence their cry.
What are we suppose to do, to help them out. To listen the screaming, and hear all their shouts.
Worst of all, when you try so hard.  You push them away, and close their heart.
But to stop trying, means you don't care. Best thing to do, is show them your there.
 They do not see you, and how you have felt.  And how much it hurts, when nothing will help.
 You see this cycle, so close it is break.  But no matter your word, they see it as fake
I'm here  here till the ending.  What else can I do.  I want you to notice, my words are true.
But now its certain. That I'm talking to walls. Because the person I speak to, can hear any of my calls
The heart breaking Truth, you cant pick them up.  Even though they are thirsty, they won't drink from your cup.
The best thing to do.  Is take my step back.  They are the ones, who can show them the facts.
They need to stand up.  All on there own, then they will notice, they're not alone.
Peer pressure is hounding, they feel like they've drown.  But the one who are there for them, is the reason they're down
They must get their strength, from them selves with in.  And soon all the darkness, will bring them to grin
They choose their destiny, they set them selves free, they're in shackles and chains, but they hold the key.
They must stop it. they must  choose to fight,  you can can show them away. But they bring the light.
You may lead them to water, you may make them think, but they aren't your slaves, you can't make them drink
Let them strive, all on their own. They  can walk through this fire. And find their way home
