When i was 5 I always wondered why people had scars on their and I thought it was cool like they fought a grizzly bear it was only when i turned 10 I realized they were only fighting themselves their emotions their grief their their depression like they were hanging by a thread build from a mama spider before it died and was forgotten and your just trying to stay alive but the heavy stone that hol...
In the depths of despair,
Amidst the shadows of sorrow,
I see you, weary soul,
Lost in the labyrinth of resentment.
But listen closely,
For in the silence,
There is a symphony of hope,
Echoing through the corridors of your heart.
You've spent so long,
Trapped in the maze of anger,
Trapped in a cycle of suffering…
Blinded to the beauty,
That surrounds you.
But it's never too late
To open ...

i see.

my knife is dull.

i’m starving.

i’m trying.

It’s hard
I won’t lie
Especially about something so true
I’ve lost hope
And just like you
I’ve given up
I thought that friendship and love were meant for me
Even with my problems
With my mental struggles
I’d tried to fix it
To find something I’d always longed
But after months
. . . Years of trying
I lost all hope
I wanted to stay in bed
To cry my life away
“I’m a mistake”
I would say
“And if I ...
What is the point of all this pain?
What is the point of wishing to live again?
What is the point of knowing I’ll never be sane, wandering around with nothing to gain?
Is it the chirp of crickets at night?
The lanterns swinging, bringing peace and light?
The smell of flowers after a storm?
The crackle of a campfire, still bright and warm?
I wish I could tell you what you wanted to hear,
That the...
I was lost
I had no one to love
And no one to love me
I sacrificed the only person I had ever loved in my entire life to my best friend
So she would be able to feel love
Like I once did
I had no one
No one to love
And no one to love me
But at least they were together
Happy and in love
But then I found someone I loved
Again
She’s perfect
It started out as a small crush
But now I think I’m in love

The sun still rose today
And it will set today
And someone will be born today
A flower bloomed today
And someone sang a tune today
And look fondly back on yesterday
And someone got a hug today
And learned for the first time what is love today
And maybe it wasn’t you, today
But the sun will rise tomorrow, I say
And you’ll be there tomorrow, I say
Then it could be your day...
Hold on, it’s coming. I promise it’s almost here. The sun will be rising in the East and make the darkness dissipate. Hold onto my hand and I’ll help you out. I’ve been down there so many times. I never thought I would escape. I know, you can’t run from it. It follows you and it’s quick. Before you know it it has swallowed you whole.
Hold out for hope. Yes hope. It’s there, you just can’t see it...
Listen to me and step off that ledge.
I know its hard when your on the edge.
Listen to me and put down the rope.
I know its hard when you've lost all hope.
Things are dark and scary I know.
But the world would be different if you decided to go.
Think of all the ones you care about.
You would really leave them behind without a doubt?
You'll never smile just one more time.
You'll never make it past ...
