My head pounds
My muscles ache
Sweat runs down my forehead
Is it worth it?
Will I make it?
Can I take this?
I can't stop,
But can I keep going?
I have to make it to the end
The sun goes down on me again
Then the moon
I keep going
How much farther?
How much longer?
Will this end?
I keep moving
I can never stop, until the day I die
I will always keep going

Quiet girl
Against the wall
Feeling like she's against the world
Hopeless because she feels like she's has no one
She's the Quiet Girl
She scares away the rest of the world;
The obnoxious, insane, the crazy, loud, world that shuns anything different,
anything it deems abnormal
The Quiet girl,
she stands alone
Afraid to open up because she knows the world, and all its cruel ways
And the world thinks it knows her
But in her is fire, fueled by love
Its going out, it's going to die
She will snuff right out of existence, with out notice...

Sometimes you cry.
Sometimes you hide.
Sometimes you crawl into bed and never want to come out.
At this rate the pain will never end,
the hurt will never be sent away.
"Pain pain go away!" you cry, you sigh.
"Horrible! Horrible is my life!" you cry.
But that will never heal your broken heart.
It will never heal the wound.
Your cries only dig a deeper hole in your emotions.
STOP!
Stop your crying!
Stop the pain your inflict upon yourself.
Stop the hurt inside your heart.
And be,
At Peace.

Stress doesn't kill, it murders.
Stress doesn't weaken, it crushes.
Stress doesn't hurt, it demolishes.
Stress is extremely destructive and harmful.
To be at peace, one must let stress go.
Stress is tied to anger.
Stress is tied to pain.
Stress is tied to love, and health, and the lack of.
To let go of stress, one must let go of all emotion.
But one is only human.
