Locked In This Cage

Help me
Can anyone get me out of here?
I'm lost inside this cage i call my soul. 
My mind is spinning in circles.
Which way is out, where do i turn.
Who do i talk to? Help me. 
I wander down this path alone
This sorrow i carry in my chest.
I wait...listen for a heartbeat and nothing.
The cold air against my face.
Am I all that's left?
Is there nobody out there. 
I'm looking for the light. 
For a friend. I call out.
But there is nobody there....
Wait! i see a figure in the distance!
Who is she? What is she?
She holds my darkness.
Keeps it held tight. 
Does she know this pain as well?
Hello! Can you help me?
Can you see me?
She is trapped in her cage as well.
Makes no motion. No sound..No happiness..
Are we all alone? Can you save me?
Can i save you...
Can we ever escape this prison?
It's dark. No light.
The cold air hits my face again.
I want to reach out, but she is so far.
Staring into nothing....Why won't someone help me..
Help us? Please. Take her away from this place.
Save her and leave me.
Can anybody hear my prayer. 
We're trapped in this cage.
Our souls are confined..
I'll stay but please....save her

The Soul Is a Lit Cigarette

My soul feels like a burning cigarette. 
At first it's whole and you have it all together but all it takes is one light and I slowly die
Inhale and you feel like you escape from everything but the truth is, it'll kill me one day.
It's our only form of suicidal release but feeling everything..emotion...pain..heartache.
And every time the smoke clears we hope things will change.
It can isolate you from friends and even family sometimes because of the habit, but it's that release that takes the pain away but if it wasn't for the pain, maybe I wouldn't have a soul....

Some of you reading this may wonder what I'm really talking about, but ask yourself.. is life not a burning cigarette? You open the pack and when it burns out, it's complete. That's our life. Just another lit cigarette....until the next one..

Katie

This is to you Katie. You were and always be my little sister. even if we're only off by a few months. 
You shed light through my darkness. Now you're the one at peace, out of all the bad ish i had to go through these last few weeks, you were there for me. Rival schools, beating up on eachother, paintball, standing up for me when i couldnt fight back. my cousin, my sister, my family. You were always there for me when i needed someone....even if i called you a monkey and you called me an asshole. No matter what youve gone through, your suffering is over now. I'm just happy to know that you got the chance to turn your life around. You're looking down right now as I type. It may not always be poetry but maybe a tribute will work. i finally found a way to get my feelings out. I miss you and I love you Katie....I still don't want to believe you're gone. you're my sister. this isnt allowed to happen..
....Love Kevin

You Dont Deserve Me As a Friend

All I want is to be treated like a person. There is SO much I could open my mouth about of what people asked me not to say. But I don't. Im not like them  Sometimes I wish I could just let it all out and watch them hurt. Like they hurt me. I get treated worse than nothing. By people Im supposed to call family. Sometimes I think its easier to let my depression take over. Stay in bed all day. Stay here. Alone. But even my own thoughts look down on me. And I just keep replaying it in my head. Vie been there for one specific person and they threw me under to save themselves. After coming to ME for help. As much as I want to be. I'm not cruel like you. I won't push someone down just to get ahead. I am stronger than this...even though it still hurts. But just this once, I'll let that monster inside take over...and knock you down a few.. Because nobody deserves to be treated like this and be made to feel the way you made me feel...


Side note to the writing above. Just a personal note for myself. and anybody else that feels someone may have betrayed them. It sucks. But it gets easier.
You shut me out as a friend. It's your loss. Everyone gets stressed out. But I NEVER turned my back on you. Not even when you threw me under the bus. I still wouldn't get you in trouble. Even if it meant getting kicked out. You we're too busy saving your own ass. You see, my teeth are messed up. The Subaru has no motor and I'm paying off debt. You're not the only one that's stressed out. Yeah I've gotten mad at you before but i usually get over it. this time is different. I did nothing to deserve how you've been treating me. You don't deserve me as a friend. I'm not afraid to post this. I'm not mad. I feel...nothing?

To anybody that may come across this entry. You're not alone. You have a good heart. Don't shut anyone out. Just smile back and pay that person or people no mind. Until my next entry. Keep your head up. we're all in this together :)

My Reality

It's calming when the only light is the moon and the stars. You look into the blackness and hear and smell everything but cannot see, until you look into yourself and see what is truely there beside you. Yourself. We are our only friend in the moonlight. In the darkness...at the end of the day. We have ourselves

Who Are You

What do you do when you've lost it all. You're sister, your friend and now you. I feel like you're not the girl i knew, the laughs, the girl that smiled. It's all gone. had my best friend and I don't know who this is. The memories. But now the pain. You look the same. But on the inside, the lies. I feel like those eyes are laughing at me now. The smile is fake. Who are you? Wheres that beautiful girl i once knew. The one that always stuck by my side, no matter what went on. You always had my back and now I feel like theres a knife in it. I miss the smiles, the laughs. The long nights, the long drives. I miss you..but you're not you anymore...who are you....I'm sorry....I think I love you

I Know Who You Are

You've proved so much to me in the last few months. Who you are is what I love.  The girl I knew is gone. But the woman standing before me, has left me speechless and smiling. Understand the first time it was made. Was out of heartache and betrayal. But this time is different, to just anybody, it may not look like much. But to those that understand what was put into it, know the heart behind the thought. The love, the hell, the heartache...the recovery and never backing down. Pushing through and seeing the blue sky and the sunlight. Seeing her hell and walking her through it all. Stronger is what we've become

I Don'T Know Me Anymore

I keep getting asked today, "What's wrong?". Nothing is really wrong. But try feeling alone all the time. I hear no noise, no one is speaking. Nothing at all. I try and keep it together but it's getting harder. I feel like I'm forgotten most of the time. I'm just there. I feel like nobody listens anymore. When I speak, I'm never heard. When I walk into the room they look past me. Even when I'm out with a few people....I don't feel..like me

Twenty-Four Years

To my best friend

Friends forever and now I don't know you
We were inseparable and now I'm invisible
Is it me?   Did I do something wrong?
You promise. You apologize. You repeat.
I drive hundreds of miles just to see you smile.
You say sorry you can't drive to me...next time...next time..
You put your head on my chest at night and now I'm on top of the world...
Now you pretend it never happened.
I try to hold on....but you disappeared..
And we've been friends for twenty-four years.
After all this time I only care about you being happy.
Four years ago you told me you felt the same way..
...but you took it back and broke my heart the very next day.
I lost an important person in my life..
Please...I can't lose you...
As long as you are happy.
You are my soulmate and the girl I have always loved...
Even if it means waiting until the end of time for you...

Now I'm saying sorry...what did I do?

You are my best friend...
....and I'll always love you...
