Crashing

Slowly fading in and out going crazy without a doubt. Thoughts flying all around , not one person making a sound. Body in agony from head to toe, but no we cant stop its time to go. Screaming on the inside BEGGING to stop just slow down please I am going to drop.??????
Take a trip throughout your mind,??
Be amazed at what you find.
Lost in a world unseen to the eye.??
Higher than any cloud in the sky.
Ask yourself how long have you been awake ??
So you can determine whats real and whats fake.
But after so long no one can tell.??
Cause we are all trapped in one big illusion cell. 
Hearing and seeing things not really there,??
Your brain and reality not playing fair.
Weak minds go crazy.....
Strong minds go hazy....

But its all the same in the end if you go to sleep your mind will mend.
BUT... If you like this world of tricks, FIGHT the sleep??
And get your kicks.
But sooner or later you will drop. And your mind and body will make you stop.
but...
Until that moment happens....ahh forget all this i just said I was just writting words down that popped in my head. Hahaha.
"I guess that s*** has fried my brain"

Believe

This is dedicated to: Joseph Wayne Moore Jr. Ill always love you. 





It was dreary,dark,lonley,and cold,
I had no one in this world to hold.
Then you came into my life,
Reality hit me like a knife. 
All the pain I had been trying to hide, 
Came washing over me like high tide.
I had been in that dark place for so long, 
I had lost the beat to my own song.
You tried and tried to make me see,
That I was perfect just being me.
Finally I came around, 
And fell so hard for you I hit the ground.
You pulled me out of that cold dark hole, 
And opened the pathway to my soul.
My heart felt this feeling deep down inside, 
Instinct tells me to run and hide.
But something about you made me smile,
Something i hadn't done in quite a while.
So slowly i let you close to my heart,
Protecting it from being torn apart.
It has happened to many times in the past,
To give it my all and end up last.
You said you wont hurt me or never make me sad,
To make sure im happy and never feel bad.
I was scared because ive heard that time and again,
You all say the same thing I guess cause your men.
So i kept trying to push you away,
But you never gave up and always knew what to say.
Again I felt that feeling inside,
But this time i didnt want to run and hide.
I gave you my all body and soul now i have no words for this feeling Ive had,
Its the exact opposite of sad or bad.
You made me feel something i had thought to be dead,
Something i thought people made up in there head.
But now I know that love is real,
Because you have shown me how that feels.

Breaking Point

Im on the edge about to fall,
My fingers slipping, gripping tight to the wall.
"Dont let go", screaming throughout my head,
Hanging in there by a thread.
My body exhausted,twisted in pain,
My head overloaded going insane.
Why cant I pull myself back up to the top;
Because it would be easier to just let go and drop.
Let go of frustration, worries, and stress...
Life would be easier I must confess.
Ive held on this long throughout my years,
Winding and wearing down all my gears.
Im at my breaking point more each day...
But its only my fault and its time to pay.
Its so hard to do nothing as your world crumbles apart.
It crushes and shatters my already wounded heart.
I hurt more and more each day that goes by, 
Clutching my face, I start to cry.
I just dont understand why I was chose to carry all this weight.
Perhaps its a curse or maybe just fate.

Misery's Wife

The day I was born into this life, my destiny was to be misery's wife.
Fate was unkind,evil, and cruel; I was dropped into a suffering pool.
From my first breath i had to be strong, if I wanted to make it in this world for long.
Thrown into agony,chaos,and sorrrow; my only hope was for a better tomorrow. 
But years passed and as I grew, I realized I already knew...
I knew my purpose on this planet of pain was to take all the misery, for my love ones to gain; gain a better future and forget the past; to take all there sadness, for there happiness to last.
So for all the pain and hurt I feel I know my wounds and scars will heal. 
So I'll continue to be miserys wife because no one else could handle this life.
