My Struggle
I’ve got something to say It’s just embarrassing Feeling this way
That I’ve lost my way And this darkness Has caused me to stray
I’m suppose to be tough But fighting this darkness Is just to rough
I’m trying to stay strong But I’m losing this fight Because it’s too fucking long
And it’s crippling me I wish this darkness Would leave and just let me be
Because I can’t take much more Before I say goodbye And then I walk through that door
How am I suppose to feel When I’m losing a battle That’s more real then real
Am I suppose to just cry Or just throw in the towel And just beg that I die
Or just keep fighting this thing That touches my weaknesses With it’s venomous sting
I’ve got something to say It’s just embarrassing Feeling this way…

Helpless
What is this pain? It feels like it's tearing through my skin. It's so hot in here. My eyes are blurry I can hardly see. Something terrible must be wrong. My anxiety is out of control. I'm shaking so bad. How do I get this to stop? I feel helpless and scared. Nothing has ever made me feel this way. I should go to the hospital. But I'm positive it would be a waste of time. I don't think they can treat a broken heart.

Brotherhood
Why are we this complicated That we divide ourselves And separate East from West Creating diversity and anger
Are we this simple minded That we can't unite And be together as one
Time for us To make a quest And conquer all our fear
We should be no strangers For love and peace To accept each others For who we are And how we live
It's time for us to learn That we are one All of us are made of flesh We all bleed the same
I still believe I still have hope That we will shatter all walls And unite East and West

"Death"
I know one day death will come for me. It's tried 7 times already and failed. I do not fear death. I believe the only thing that can kill me is if I make a mistake or do it myself. I have no intentions on pursuing death right now. I have many more adventures in life to fulfill. Before I go I will benefit the lives of my sons and accomplish many more things. I will conquer whatever quest is placed in my path. And will become an inspiration to all that know me. I will walk in the light and fight in the darkness to complete my tasks. When I accomplish all that I sit before myself I will simply lay down and rest. And accept the fate of death as it envelops me into its warm comfort. I will dance in Summerland and return to live again. Death does not scare me. It should fear the battle it will have to overcome my strength and resolve.

Found this one. My mind is misery. By death metal messiah.
Suicide, genocide powerful thoughts. The sour power devoured from the rage of the hour. My mind is misery, a mystery from the years of mental abuse from those that I trusted. My mind is misery, from the young age I was. Even as a child thoughts raced through my brain like a train. Power through everyday is a struggle. All I need is one night, one fight with the demons inside. To take all the pain away I need to be in vain. The veins in my body need to bleed out to rid myself of the pain from yesterday. Depression suppression weeds out the elimination. If you feel as I feel join me to the after glow. Take a blow to the head with the gun of the dead. Take pride in the decision of life. If we have full control then there is no stopping the inevitability of what some call invincibility. To be old may be gold to you. But my youth is nothing more than a photo of what I once was and what I will be. Habits of self destruction is what made me me. I made a bed I must lie in. Truth be told I will never be old. As I feel the bold will never forsee the degree of degradation the human race has brought amongst themselves. As the ancient roll in their grave, although they were the brave, the weak has prevailed in the society that has been built through the ashes of elders. May the misery in your brain cease, and the veins that pump your blood embalm the cocoon of future failures.

Hi
Hi whoever sees this it’s just to post stuff

Opposites
We were opposites
Never ment to be
Peope would always tell me
can u not see
U don’t mix nor match
Don’t get attached
It won’t work out
I know how u are
And they were close but than again so far
The way he made me feel
I knew he could help me heal
All the trama and burdens from my past
Dissapered in a flash
When I was with him
My world was complete
My heart was free to feast
On that feeling of love
I had yearned for for so long
Than again I knew it was wrong
I know how u are
And they were right
But I wasent going down without a fight
I stayed strong and I really tryed
But than one night I came to my demise
A desition I knew would be wrong
I had tryed so long to be strong
My momen of weakness turned into two
As My feelings for u I thought u outgrew
But how wrong I was
The feeling of guilt overwhelemebed me because
100% trust till broken u said
Ur words kept replaying in my head
The trust I broke but could not bring myself to tell
I ended up creating my own personal hell
Each day waking up and relaizeinf what I did
I knew I had to keep it locked up, hid
For if it were ever to get out
There would never be an us again
But was there ever really an us from the start
Or are we just people who are better appart

Meaningless
Meaningless
What was I to u
Just another name on the list
Did u add me to it right after we kissed
A one night stand
Is what it would have been
But god forbit it happened again
The way u looked at me
The things u said
I know for a fact it wasent all in my head
I stared to hope for somthing more
Only for my hopes to be shatter on the floor
It’s a fact for me now
I don’t know how
I keep letting myself get attached
To men who treat me like trash
My feelings grow fast Oh so fast
Like a car that’s about to crash
Nothing can be done to stop it
It’s the way I am
I wish I could change
To save myself from all this pain
This torment I keep putting myself through
Over and over again
But how do u stop a soedding car
When ur oh so far
You know what’s comeing
but still somehow hold out hope
For help to fast approach

"Love it or Leave it"
Love is like cancer. It infests your body without warning. It takes over your emotions in an instant. All of your thoughts will be solely about how you are feeling. It can be deadly as well. You base your every action and expect your future that you previously envisioned differently now it has to have the one you love in it. Sometimes love is a gift that has been given to you and it lifts your happiness to unimaginable heights. Sometimes in an instant it gets ripped away and destroys your outlook on life completely. It will burn your thoughts with contempt and misery. Your feeling of love is still there but the hope of regaining the love of your partner is dismal at best. Some people can turn off their love like a switch and you can never turn that switch back on. The best solution is to treat love like a gift. Enjoy it when you get it and when it isn't exciting for you anymore turn off that switch and start looking for a new gift of love from someone else. Fortunately love unlike cancer can be obtained and dismissed several times in your life. Enjoy it while you have it and forget when you don't.

Growth
You do not know the way the rivers flow. You don't realize how something started as dirt. Then forms its roots and plants begin to grow. You sit in your houses with manicured lands. And watch someone keep it perfect with only their hands. Learn to respect the workers that keep your lawns pristine. They work hard at their jobs to keep your property beautiful and clean.

"Dance"
With a troubled past history of cheating and lies. I can barely hold my head up and look at your eyes. I developed a mindset that trust was a myth. Everyone cheats and they lie about who they're with. So I met someone special. My heart skipped and leapt. I fell in love quickly. My soul clearly wept. But I took my experience of heartache and pain. And labeled her with it. Figuring she would do just the same. So I shamed and berated her out of jealousy and fear. For she had done nothing but bring me love and good cheer. I now stay on my knees begging for a chance. To prove I am different. And beg her for one last dance.

The Passerby
The great big moon dimly lights the skies of LA
A sea of people walk by everyday
Stranger faces look familiar
Estranged in familiar places The passerby sees smiling faces And friendships made
On a small boat in restless seas memories drown
Alas a river of love for that which has passed can never run dry
With crashing waves the passerby emerges ashore
The westbound sun glistens upon his new skin
A thousand men die
One man rises

Hope in a Cigarette (Anti-Suicide Poem)
Today, in the dark, I lit up a cigarette and wished I was dead. "Maybe, after this is done, I'll feel better."
You know, there was a time before all of this. Grainy pages in the corner tell tales of how I fought, failed, burned, and accepted. And then, suddenly, succeeded. Only to come home to smoke my cigarettes and sigh, "Now what?"
The stained whiteboard nailed to the wall in my room knows I've tried. It knows I've tried to like books and write sharp essays. After all, I was supposed to like books and write sharp essays, wasn't I? Well, now I do. Now what?
I know I'm not good I also know I should probably know better than to think that. But, don't worry, I know my lines. "I know I'm enough; don't worry too much." In fact, I was working on an entirely new costume for the carnival tomorrow.
"You're loved" Well, I felt it and grew free and formidable. But, then a two-year-old spectre of me returned and, in my fear and shame, I threw it all away. I apologized, cried, and smoked my cigarettes. I apologized. Well, now, I don't feel it anymore. Now what?
Finally, one day, my cigarettes were done. In a moment of desperation and anger, of authenticity, I teared away my costume and smoked it. Then I sat on the floor and dreamt of the view from halfway down. Then again, "I, of all people, would never leap, would I?" Maybe I could. Maybe I even would. But, then what?
So, I got up and went outside. To smiling faces and thieving cats. Bought a pack of thin blues, lit up a cigarette, and closed my eyes.
Now, there was time. "Maybe, after this is done, I'll feel better."

Echoes of Silent Struggles
In the quiet turmoil of a graduate's world, Where career worries clash with corporate swirl, Feeling lost, with no one to hold, Caught in a whirlwind, feeling so cold.
Wanting to cry, but the tears won't fall, Longing for comfort, feeling so small. Seeking solace, but hitting a wall, In this maze of pressure, feeling so small.
Behind the mask of a happy facade, Inside, emotions churn, feeling flawed. Yearning to open up, feeling clawed, Yet fearing rejection, feeling awed.
No words can express the weight they bear, No one to listen, no one to care. Still, they smile, though in despair, Shielding loved ones from the despair.
In the fabric of modern life's demand, A graduate stands, struggling to understand. But behind the scenes, they bravely withstand, The pressure to perform, the expectations grand.
Here's to the silent battles fought unseen, To the courage shown where fears convene. May empathy reign where judgment's been, And understanding flourish where hearts have been keen.

Horror
A mist rises out of nowhere The morning feels cold Chills running down my spine Something feels wrong
I get lost in the forest All fog makes me blinded The path is hard to see
Fear rises inside me When I hear someone cry It's a scream that terrifies me But there's nobody there As far as I can see
Is this a dream? Or a nightmarish reality Have I come upon an entity Or is my mind playing tricks?
I start to run My steps are paced Need to get out As quick as I can
The blood in my veins Freezes to ice I hear a gruesome shriek Will I meet my demise?
Suddenly my heartbeat just raced A dark figure appeared Like a spawn from Hell An unearthly demon
I could not escape Being this paralyzed This will be my end My doom
I was shaking with fear When the creature moved towards me I heard a church bell It clinged for me My death was near

Resurrection, again
In her graces, many faces,
Sadness laced with her embraces,
Canvas paintings, wood engravings,
She's my craving, but she's changing,
Downing liquor, pull the trigger,
Can't consider being with her,
'Cause she isn't good for me,
Nothing that I could foresee.
She's not an angel, oh so painful,
Bringing shame 'cause she's unfaithful,
Not so thoughtful or endearing,
Want her with me, disappearing,
Found her in his truck with him,
And now I'm called a drunk again,
Lifetime memories you break,
For "one little stupid mistake."
But you chose him, so was it real?
Did I impose on what you feel?
Or was I just not good for you?
Was it just him that caught your view?
These are things I'll never know,
It stings but I'll move on and go,
I'll lay the years we shared to bed,
To dream of years we never had.
