Is the end near
Is it all over
Is it all quite clear that
There’s black in new November
Where the sun has never shone
Have the heavens opened this morning
Have all the lamps gone out
Have woman and men began their mourning
And children began to cry and shout
Please tell your kids, “get off your phone”
Don’t we all ignore the signs
Don’t we all want to curl in a ball
How we all want to drink cham...

It came to me one summer day
That I could act a different way
Instead of being Oscar the Grouch
Sitting and fuming on the living room couch
I could put away my short little fuse
And see that I have the power to choose
Instead of using cutting words
That fly around like angry birds
I can encourage and help and make others smile
And not make their time with me seem such a trial
So I say this to...
I sit and ponder
Whilst having a brief wander,
What are your intentions?
Everybody watches you,
Feeling like they are under review.
Hanging on every word you say,
But the more you say,
The more my morals hold me at bay.
When I was searching for answers,
I thought you could be an enhancer.
But then I realised your nothing but a product of your time.
Warped with stubbornness,
Yet somehow, still r...
I begged you to stay
for everything to remain the same
so that nothing would change
but you left anyways.
the flowers turned gray
all joy washed away
and yesterday faded into today.
All of our friends stand here,
surounding your grave.
We lay flowers the color of the rainbow
next to the rocks painted with your name.
Today I learned all things change,
and nothing will forever be the same,
but t...
In the darkness and despair, hidden from prying eyes,
Lies the secret of self harm, a painful compromise.
The blade becomes a friend, a twisted
kind of solace,
A way to release the pain, to find a
moments piece.
With each cut, a revaluation, a glimpse
into the soul,
A cry for help, a silent scream, a way to
gain control.
The scars that mar the skin, they tell a
story true,
Of battles fou...
I didn’t do a structured rhyme scheme but yk here it is
The one reason you have
The heart of your life
Is slowly poisoning you
And you can’t see
It has fogged over your eyes
Clouded your vision so that you don’t understand wrong from right
Yet you cling to it blinded by its “glory”
Perception blurred you take wrong path after path
Dizzy with rage you sicken
But you think it’s the cure
And you’ll ...
