I Wonder Why?

Many people die
with tear in their eye
with the thought of suicide in their mind
with one last cry
these innocent people die
I wonder why?
all these people being born
in the wrong places
and the wrong times
They grew up only knowing how to commit crimes
or how to sit in the streets asking for a couple of dimes
these people go home
only to be told
"you'll never mount to anything"
but they are only sixteen
this world can be so cold
so these people grow up doing the same thing
they did when they were sixteen
only this time they aren't as clean
they grew up only knowing how to be mean
one day they get tired of the crap
they look down and see the gun on their lap
they pick it up
and put it to their head
and with a sound of a BANG!
They become a person of the dead.

Emotions

I'm glad you're happy
It seems that you have gotten over me
but it's a little harder for me as you can see
but like I said
I'll always be there for you
If that's what you want me to do
but I do want you to know
that I won't let my emotions show
it does hurt deep down inside
I guess I've swallowed al of my pride
I know that there are more fish in the sea
but none of them like me
so what am I supposed to do
I wish I could tell you I love you

Never mind

I'm just trying to be kind
but I think that love has made me blind
I'm not trying to make you feel bad
but you see writing my emotions down
stops me from feeling sad

The Days

These are the days I feel most blue
days where the sun won't shine trough
days I thought I loved you
These are the days where I don't know what to do

These are the days I miss you
days I want to say I'm sorry too
days I will never forget
These are the days I won't regret

These are the days my life comes to a fall
days I won't deny
days I cry and cry
These are the days where my heart is broken 

These are the days where I've used all the words 
days I can not make better
days I feel my hearts been tossed in a blender
These are the days I wait for the next

These are the days I feel like a wreck
days I will survive
days I feel mad
These are the days I feel most sad

These are the days I feel depressed
days I can not rest
days I feel most blue
These are the days where the sun wants to shine trough
