Poet Introduction
I'm decent?
You
You pop pills like tomorrow,
don't you care about how i feel?
All this pent up anger and sorrow.
When you take your magic pill,
does it alter your feelings?
Could you even define whats real?
What if i took my own magic pill?
One that takes away these feelings of anger and sorrow.
What if i took four,
and didn't live to see tomorrow?
Would you finnaly know how i feel?
Would you feel my frustration?
Would your world also come to a standstill?
Well we'll find out,
all this and maybe more,
right now.........

Ask the lonely
Ask the lonely how it feels
to have terrible parents,
the kind that abuse and pop pills.
Ask the lonely how it feels
to slit their wrist,
and see their blood mingle with their tears.
Ask the lonely how it feels
to have their hearts broken,
then torn to shreds by the ones they loved.
Ask the lonely how it feels
to have been lied to their entire lives,
to not know who to believe,
or love.
Ask the lonely,
or better yet......just ask me
to have terrible parents,
the kind that abuse and pop pills.
Ask the lonely how it feels
to slit their wrist,
and see their blood mingle with their tears.
Ask the lonely how it feels
to have their hearts broken,
then torn to shreds by the ones they loved.
Ask the lonely how it feels
to have been lied to their entire lives,
to not know who to believe,
or love.
Ask the lonely,
or better yet......just ask me

the Pain
The bleeding won't stop,
I cut too deep,
My arm is numb,
I'm falling asleep.
The pain is great,
I still can't believe,
When i needed you most,
You decided to leave.
My face is wet,
Why am i crying?!
You're making him laugh,
While i'm here dying.
But beforeI leave,
I just have to say,
I love you so much,
You'll see you do too....
........one day.........

Think of Me
Would you think any less of me,
If i cut myself tonight?
What would you think of me,
if i cut myself and died?
I would go and die tonight,
But i haven't felt your touch,
Yes i would die tonight,
But i haven't done enough.
So tonight when i go home,
i will not cut myself,
Instead i'll take the pain,
of being alone,
like the man i want to be....
If i cut myself tonight?
What would you think of me,
if i cut myself and died?
I would go and die tonight,
But i haven't felt your touch,
Yes i would die tonight,
But i haven't done enough.
So tonight when i go home,
i will not cut myself,
Instead i'll take the pain,
of being alone,
like the man i want to be....

Drowning in sorrow
Drowning in a darkness,
Of deep despair,
Beleiving the lies i hear,
And seeing things not there.
See the rays of light,
They shine upon my scars,
Reaching for that broken smile,
Among the hidden stars.
Hearing the tear drops,
Falling from your eyes,
Believe my hidden secrets,
And tell my stolen lies.
Bring me to the surface,
So i can finnaly breathe,
Let me see the sorrow,
Of my broken dreams.....
Of deep despair,
Beleiving the lies i hear,
And seeing things not there.
See the rays of light,
They shine upon my scars,
Reaching for that broken smile,
Among the hidden stars.
Hearing the tear drops,
Falling from your eyes,
Believe my hidden secrets,
And tell my stolen lies.
Bring me to the surface,
So i can finnaly breathe,
Let me see the sorrow,
Of my broken dreams.....

The Emo
From start to finish,
I wonder why,
The cuts look good,
In this messed up lie,
The blood that trickles,
Down my arm,
People all stare,
At the boy who self-harms
"The Emo" they call me,
I turn to my name,
They act out slicing theit wrists,
I hang my head in shame,
I can't help my feelings,
Of being alone,
I hide myself for the day,
Just longing to go home,
I sprawl on my bed,
With my razor in hand,
And take myself away,
To a much better land
I stare in the mirror,
And watch myself cry,...
