What Do You Do

What do you do when nothing feels right
Do you do nothing, or do you fight
How can you be happy when it feels wrong
And you drown your emotions in a song

What do you do when you feel alone
When it seems everyone else is on a throne
How do they have kings, queens, and friends
When you see the world through a telescope lens


What do you do when your are trapped in yourself
When you put your feelings on too high a shelf
You can’t reach them, so you are bitter and cold
Everyone else seems plated in gold

What do you do when you want to die
Tears in your eyes looking up to the sky
Wondering what you could have changed
How you got to be so deranged

What do you do  when you want to live
When you simply have nothing to give
Please someone tell me, I don’t care who
But I need to know, what do you do

Alone On Valentines Day

Verbally admitting your love
Allowing your heart to show
Learning that the feelings aren't shared
Exiting the room in despair
Nothing else hurts more
Than this godforsaken day
If you are heartbroken and alone
No one wants you, no one cares
Everyone else is happy, why cant you be
Seems like its too much to ask
Dreams are the only defense you have
Against this dark loneliness
You are truly alone

Peace At Last

tears streaming down your face, 
leaving glistening lines on your cheeks,
such stark contrast to the faded red that 
lies upon the pale white of your wrist 

holding the blade in your hand
you feel there is no other way
placing the razor on your fragile skin
you start the first line, the pain is released

as you cut, tearful ecstasy shows on your beautiful face
as line after line appear on your wrist
the skin puffs up,
the blood starts to flow

you feel relief, but a sharp pain too
given up, you dont know what else to do
you resign yourself to your fate
as you begin that final line

you cry out as the blade cuts deep
no one hears or maybe they dont care
losing blood, the world goes black
you close your eyes, draw your last breath

no more pain
no more sorrow
no more misery
peace at last

Shattered Heart

Remember when you swore to stay?
And with my heart you'd never play.
Although every last word was a lie,
Never will i wish that you would die.

Because of you my heart is shattered.
Broken, beaten, bruised and battered.
I love you still, through this all,
For i shall rise and you shall fall

The pain you caused, of heart and mind,
Is nothing compared to what you will find.
For i rise to heaven, you fall to hell,
Your tormented screams, like churches' bell

This is it, my last words to you.
It's sad but a little funny too.
We are now forever apart,
Just like the shattered pieces of my heart.

Seasons

Summer is childhood games that everyone plays
Nothing compares to warm summer days
Everything is colorful, and even glowing
Day after day, no pain is showing

Days are long, nights are short
Enjoying yourself is of most import
Spending time with your best friend
But all good things must come to an end

Autumn comes, with shorter days
Increasing clouds block the sun’s rays
The days grow colder, as do you
Darker thoughts come, just a few

You push them aside, to the back of your mind
But happier thoughts get harder to find
You fight and you fight to the end of your wits
Winter has come, and on your hopes it spits

Winter is dark, cold, cruel and brutal
Finding happy thoughts is now futile
Days are cold, nights are colder
A monotone world to any beholder

Less and less sun, more and more moon
All you can hope for is Spring to come soon
This is it, your final straw
But then it happens, the snow starts to thaw

Spring is here, a time of rebirth
A splash of color comes back to the Earth
Happy thoughts return along with the hues
No more of dark wintertime views

Everywhere there is joy and smiles
We have survived the Winter’s trials
I say “we” but that’s not quite true
For I am stuck in Winter with its monotone hue

Masks

Masks are truly the most terrifying of things
Physical or emotional we wear them like the songbird sings
Everybody has one, of that there is no doubt
We wear them to hide things that no one should find out

Paper thin and fragile as ice
Its all you need for one to think you're nice
But you know that that's not right
A mask is just easier than a fight

When you're alone the mask comes off
And while you stare at it you scoff
For this is not the real you, how could it be?
Nobody is normal and happy cant you see?

You are broken, dark and just plain sad
But you mask is purely glad
A greater difference there is none
And you know you aren't the only one

We wear them to hide things that no one should find out
Everybody has one, of that there is no doubt
Physical or emotional we wear them like the songbird sings
Masks are truly the most terrifying of things

Lost

I live life completely lost
Taking every step with fingers crossed
No matter where I look, there is no exit
I need to find my way, my soul begs it

Others live life with direction
I live mine in utter abjection
Every door I find is shut
Others’ lives are so clear cut

My life is being stuck in a maze
With my eyes covered in blackest haze
The walls are all deepest black
And I’m dizzy, so I keep turning back

I need to find my way, my soul begs it
No matter where I look, there is no exit
Taking every step with fingers crossed
I live life completely lost

Broken

there is no point to live this life
i will never find the light
unless it glints off my knife
there's no way i can win this fight

in this life i cannot win
there's nothing to be done
this is the lowest i have been
i cannot be the only one

who else has felt this pain
who else has been this broken
every cure has been in vain
from this nightmare can i be woken

to the world i am closed
and that will not change
everything i say, opposed
they all think im deranged

is it true? i cannot tell
i just know that im in pain
stuck in this living hell
where is my soothing rain

through this all i've become hard
my heart is stone my skin is oaken
but my soul and mind are forever scarred
so i shall forevermore be broken

Alone

Right or wrong, stay or go,
i cant remember a time ive felt so low
you wander in, then immediately leave
the emptiness i feel i cant believe

my broken, empty heart, you had saved
but now i see you, cold and depraved,
first chance, second chance, third chance, now four
this is your last chance, dont go out the door

if you do, dont come back dont show your face
i hvae spent my life with your memory trying to erase
but oh the pain and the torment
can someone tell me what it all meant

you've left my life for the last time
so i immortalize our story in this rhyme
ill leave it for all to see
the misery through which you put me

my soul, and endless, black abyss
now solitude alone gives me the bliss
a mask and heart made of stone
please, i beg of you, just leave me alone

Dark Thoughts

I wish my thoughts could just disappear
they're as black as the night into which i peer.
my fears and worries can never be sated
depression is for what i am fated

Day and night my thoughts black as coal
each worry and thought wants their own role
they each want to destroy my mind
and scatter the pieces, impossible to find

year upon year i have fought this battle
but my mind herds me to depression like cattle
when i look around all i see is black
nothing i have, everything i lack

i wish i didnt feel this way, that i could get better
but i know my fate, down to the letter
A hole in my soul, dark, never ending
cracks in my mind that will never get mending

Maybe one day i can learn to cope
instead of resorting to the rope
But for now the black is alright
because i hope i can find the light
