Downfall

Suicide is like a storm 
Thoughts pour 
Sometimes drizzle
But never fully stop
People run away from you
Scared of what you might do
Your thunder is the anger within
Loud and strong 
You can hear it booming in your head
Your lightning is like the hope you might have
The lightning, it leaves in a flash
It leaves you in the storm alone
Just like everyone who ran away
They ran away from the fury that caves in
The possibility of a downfall
The possibility of death

Melting

I feel like I’m falling down into the abyss
The abyss of my mind
My thoughts are melting together 
They form one, big, jumbled mess
I cannot decipher what’s happening 
I continue to fall and fall deeper into my mind
No knowledge of where I’m going 
No remembrance of what I’ve left behind 
It’s like there’s no beginning to the end
It’s like there’s no end to the beginning 
It’s a never-ending cycle of fear
The fear of myself 
The fear of my words
The fear of life 
The fear of lies
The list goes on and on and on
Just like the emptiness in my heart
The hole in my head 
What was supposed to be there?
Who was I?
Who am I?
These questions are things I may never know
I may never try to know
My mind is melting
My fear 
It’s growing bigger and bigger each day
But what am I afraid of?
I don’t even know anymore
I can’t tell
It would be easier to fly 
Fly away from this body
From this life
From this world 
Into the skies
And out from the abyss

6 Feet Under

My soul is in pieces
My heart is broken
My emotions are swirling around the drain
How can I fix this 
Bump in my road
When I can see no way out

I'm stuck in a hole
A hole in the ground
6 feet deep I should say

I am screaming and screaming for help
But none has come my way
Years of therapy has done nothing
Nothing for my internal pain

When I say I am fine
Can't you hear the sarcasm in my speech
Can't you hear the tears behind my quivering voice
Can you hear my scream for help

When I feel all alone
Nothing is alright
Nothing will ever be alright
At least that's what I say 
But it doesn't help me stay for another day

As my canvas is covered in red
I see myself living not dead
But one day that vision won't be true
I'll be dead before you even know it
I'll be gone and you'll be fine
Goodbye my friends goodbye

Subjective

Feelings are weird
Putting words to something that is so different for everyone
It seems so silly
I’m happy
I’m depressed
These things, and more, mean something a little different for everyone
They happen at different times and for different reasons 
We have to accept that there is no perfect way to feel
Everyone is different
We call people emotional, or distant
It is all subjective
We shouldn't try to put labels on things that are so fluid in nature
We shouldn’t try to categorize ourselves
We are all unique
There is no one youer than you

Ect

People say it'll make them sad
But being here is torture
Living day to day and not remembering a thing
Fearing the future
Scared of the present
And not remembering who I am
What's the point of being if there is no one to be 
What's the point of living when there is nothing to see
What's the point of breathing for years to come when I can't breath talking to my own friends
Stuttering my way through life is pointless
Trying to help me see who I was is useless
I am no one now
Accept that
Let my name be washed away
Let my body be burned

Nothing

I feel numb
A nothingness I can’t explain 
A feeling when you don’t feel at all
I don’t know why this happens
I don’t understand why it won’t go away 
I’m scared of when it’s here
I’m scared of when it goes
I’m scared of feelings
I’m scared of feeling human 
I’m scared of not feeling 
I'm so torn between these worlds of which to feel or not to feel
I don’t have a choice though 
My emotions rule my world
Even if they’re not there
Nothingness can drive a person to do things though
Sometimes these things are scarier than the times you can feel
I feel numb 
I feel nothing
I don’t know why
But can you tell my friends I said goodbye?

Losing Touch

I've lost touch with reality
Am I real?
Am I really here?
I don't know
Can someone truly tell me
Convince me
This world isn't hell
We aren't dead
This isn't a punishment
I can't take it
I can't take it anymore
I look into a mirror
I thought I knew this face
I thought I knew his place
I never thought I'd lose it all
I never thought I wouldn't feel alive
I may just be paranoid to the extreme
But what if I'm not?
I can't take it anymore
Let me go
Let me find out for you where we go when we die
If we truly die
If we don't wake up in another place
With another face
Let me find out
Let me find out...

Umbrella

It’s raining on just me
Umbrella you were supposed to protect me
Now it’s just raining under you
Oh no one else feels the storm
It’s pouring down my face
Wind blows but I grip on tight to your handle
Wishing that this rain goes away
I don’t understand 
I don’t know why I don’t let go
Maybe I fear change
Maybe I fear the sun 
The warmth of happiness would be something new
I’m used to the umbrella
I’m used to the dark
My disappointment 
My failures and my loss of hope
I’m used to feeling like nothing to the world
I’m used to feeling like I’m not seen through the pouring rain 
I’d like to think my umbrella failed me
But really it was just me

Mask

Every day I get up
I put on my happy smile for the world 
Underneath my mask, I feel nothing
Underneath my mask there is nothing
I am nothing
Can’t you see through me?
Can you feel the sadness through my fake laughs
I know you can tell I don’t mean the words “I’m fine”
Don’t ask if I’m “okay” if you don’t want to know
If you’re not going to care
I’ll put on my mask for you 
For everyone
So you all feel comfortable 
So you all can pretend that nothing is wrong
I’ll be here though
Crying and holding up my mask
Holding up fake dreams
Holding up fake smiles
Hoping that one day 
I’ll fade away

The New

I feel like no one loves me 
I feel like no one cares
I know I need to love me 
I know I need to care
The only person whose opinion really matters
It doesn’t matter to me
I have this inner battle
The old against the new
The new is dying
I don’t know how to save it
I want it to win
I want it to prosper 
I need it to save me
The new will be the end to my hatred 
The new will be the start of a brand new happiness and light
The new? 
The new is a me with a fresh beginning
The beginning of a new life
A new time and place 
I’ll do anything to get away from this old face
This face of sadness 
It would be gone
I need to win this battle for self love
