Stick Around
I've got places to go.
I've got people to see.
I've got big plans ahead of me.
The struggle is over.
I'm actually happy now.
And for once in my life I've got a good reason to be proud.
I've accepted myself for me.
Just another human being.
In a more than screwed up society.
Looking back on my past and all I've gone through.
It's amazing that I'm still standing.
Still breathing.
We are all a lot braver than we think.
We are all stronger than we can imagine.
We are all on this journey together.

Follow Your Own Star
Looking back at the.
The fractured past.
Of a tortured artist.
Has got to be.
One of the hardest things to do.
Yet alone.
Live through.
It's all pain.
With absolutely no gain.
For a while.
You just have to find a way to sift through.
All of the garbage that's been handed to you.
And find a diamond in the rough.
You need to calm down.
And just trust in yourself.
Trust that what you're doing is right.
And that your future is bright.
Despite your past.
Because the present doesn't last.
And the future is...
The fractured past.

Okay
Here I am.
At the end of the day.
After the struggle to survive.
And all of the pain.
After everything is done and over.
I've decided that today marks a new chapter in my history.
A brighter chapter.
With a happier start and a worthwhile ending.
So here I stand.
At the end of the day.
And after struggling years to accept myself for me.
I've come to the conclusion that I'm okay.
I'm all right.
I know now that I'm more than worth the fight.
I'm not going to spend another sleepless night.
Worrying whether or not I'll make...

Happiness
You would never guess...
Even at your best.
That I'm actually not as I seem.
No, this isn't some dream.
This really is me.
Just me... no one else...
This is what happens when no one.
Decided to catch me.
When I fell from that high.
That sick, twisted, fake and unreal high.
Good things never last!
I should have learned this from my past...
I'm not me.
I'm someone else.
Someone who isn't from here... someone who was sent from hell.
A switch flicked.
In the back of my mind.
Changing things on the...

Things Were Too Good
Cold steel.
Pressing on my skin.
Slowly sliding and tearing the skin.
Like my soul within.
A thin crimson ribbon.
Flows out slowly.
As the sharp metallic edge drags...
Cutting...
Scraping...
Dragging...
I pick the blade up.
And put it down again.
In another place.
On my skin.
And start again.
What I tried so hard for.
For two years and six months.
Was just erased.
In two seconds.
Life sucks and then you die.
Pressing on my skin.
Slowly sliding and tearing the skin.
Like my soul within.
A thin crimson ribbon.
Flows out slowly.
As the sharp metallic edge drags...
Cutting...
Scraping...
Dragging...
I pick the blade up.
And put it down again.
In another place.
On my skin.
And start again.
What I tried so hard for.

Was just erased.
In two seconds.

Sanity
You've felt the fire.
You've felt the rage.
You've dealt with the sickness.
And you've dealt with the pain.
Fire.
Rushing through your veins.
Boiling your blood.
And just when you think you've seen enough.
The cycle just keeps repeating.
Your patience is fleeting.
And now everyone is leaving.
And now you're all alone.
Rage.
This person you've become.
Just when you think you've finally had enough.
You're completely different now.
Your world has been turned upside down.
Inside out.
You try to scream at them but...
You've felt the rage.
You've dealt with the sickness.
And you've dealt with the pain.
Fire.
Rushing through your veins.
Boiling your blood.
And just when you think you've seen enough.
The cycle just keeps repeating.
Your patience is fleeting.
And now everyone is leaving.
And now you're all alone.
Rage.
This person you've become.
Just when you think you've finally had enough.

Middle
Coke fiends and pipe dreams.
I live in a land of disappointment.
I need to get this point across but no one seems to understand it.
So, here I stand.
In this land of ignorance and bliss.
In a land of utter stupidity, where what I say is either hit or miss.
There's no black.
There's no white.
There's certainly no grey.
So, tell me, kids.
What's the point of staying here another day?
There was once a reason I resided here.
But that day has quickly come and gone.
I now have no reason to stay here.
But where else do I belong?
I live in a land of disappointment.
I need to get this point across but no one seems to understand it.
So, here I stand.
In this land of ignorance and bliss.
In a land of utter stupidity, where what I say is either hit or miss.
There's no black.
There's no white.
There's certainly no grey.
So, tell me, kids.
What's the point of staying here another day?
There was once a reason I resided here.

I now have no reason to stay here.

Forever After
Why didn't you forsake me?
Why didn't you just break me?
And leave it at that.
I've been plotting revenge.
Plotting your end.
Since the day I left.
Hatred, rage.
Perfection and pain.
It's been three years and two days.
You did this to me.
You couldn't just let me leave.
And let me be.
But now your time is up.
It's over now.
I'm standing up.
And it's my time now.
Why didn't you just break me?
And leave it at that.
I've been plotting revenge.
Plotting your end.
Since the day I left.
Hatred, rage.
Perfection and pain.
It's been three years and two days.
You did this to me.
You couldn't just let me leave.
And let me be.
But now your time is up.
It's over now.
I'm standing up.
And it's my time now.

Silence
Tossing and turning.
Double crossing and burning.
Tormenting me.
Taunting me.
Chasing me and haunting me.
Promises broken.
All of the words left unspoken.
Lie broken and shattered.
In pieces on the floor.
Never before.
Have I felt this way.
In and out.
Every single day.
Everything in every single way.
Reminds me of you.
And all of the pain.
I can't cope.
And I'm done giving out second chances.
And hope.
For once I need to stand up.
And take care of myself.
I'm not asking for anyone's hand....
Double crossing and burning.
Tormenting me.
Taunting me.
Chasing me and haunting me.
Promises broken.
All of the words left unspoken.
Lie broken and shattered.
In pieces on the floor.
Never before.
Have I felt this way.
In and out.
Every single day.
Everything in every single way.
Reminds me of you.

The End - A Haiku
Dark, desolate,black.
A never ending cycle.
A downward spiral.
A never ending cycle.
A downward spiral.

War
My time is up.
It's all over now.
There was only one way up.
But there was never any way down.
The water is rising around me.
And below me there's one hundred feet down.
Of nothing but air.
And then, of course, there's the cold hard ground.
Darkness is all I see.
Am I dead?
Or is this me?
The only option I have is to beg and plead.
And to hope that what I'm seeing isn't me.
To hope that I'm just seeing what I used to be.
And not who I am now.
But it's hard to focus with the crowd cheering so loud.
Down below....

Hope
Thunder roars overhead.
And the skies open up.
As I toss and turn silently in bed.
All of these horrible thoughts spinning in my head.
Lightning comes barreling towards the ground.
On the ever so distant horizon.
All I can see is your eyes and.
Nothing can change this moment.
Forever forgotten.
Yet always remembered.
Like a rose, so beautiful.
Or like a snake, so unpredictable.
Pretending everything is okay.
Won't necessarily change tomorrow.
Or today.
But it's a start.
If we can envision a change in our...
