Poet Introduction
"Life can feel like such a drag but it can also feel like such a relief"
My Greatest Enemy
Looking at a mirror
I see myself
Seeing myself
My reflection
Walks though me
Looking at myself
Seeing the darkness that
Corrupted him
He moves towards me
Cover in black
He stands there
The same way i do
We exchange glances
And start to fight
With every punch i throw
He throws back at me
Stuck in a eternal conflict
Punch after punch
Kick after kick
Unable to continue
He goes into to me
Trying to change me
Only to be sent back
He and i glance again
As i say...
I see myself
Seeing myself
My reflection
Walks though me
Looking at myself
Seeing the darkness that
Corrupted him
He moves towards me
Cover in black
He stands there
The same way i do
We exchange glances
And start to fight
With every punch i throw
He throws back at me
Stuck in a eternal conflict
Punch after punch
Kick after kick
Unable to continue
He goes into to me
Trying to change me
Only to be sent back
He and i glance again

Lost in the Abyss
Stuck trapped
Not knowing
Where i am
Traveling around
I try to find out
Where i am
In the darkness
That surrounds me
There is light
Looking up
I see that i am lost
Lost in thought
Lost in a labyrinth
No where to run
No choose but to stay
Banished to the abyss
Without a way to leave
Nothing but time
I will be forever lost in the abyss
Not knowing
Where i am
Traveling around
I try to find out
Where i am
In the darkness
That surrounds me
There is light
Looking up
I see that i am lost
Lost in thought
Lost in a labyrinth
No where to run
No choose but to stay
Banished to the abyss
Without a way to leave
Nothing but time
I will be forever lost in the abyss

Dying Inside
With every moment that passes
I am dying inside
I don't know what to do
The pain thats hurts my body
The love that injures my heart
Thinking about the pain i caused
To those i love
How am i suppose to know if you care
I tried killing myself and you answer saying don't
I am not sure what to think
Is it because you will miss me
Is it because i am your friend
Is it because i said i love you
I don't know what to think
You are not the only one who told me don't
But with every message you sent
You sounded...

Losing you
Every night
I wake up
Afraid
Of losing my friends
Nightmares come in and out
Of my mind
All the same
All i can see is
You hanging
And i can't help you
As you hang
I see your face
Your face shows me that
You want to leave this world
I look at you with a broken heart
Seeing that i might lose you
I can't do anything
As your grip slips
I try to reach you
But i can't
As you fall
I go with you
But all i try fails
I wake up
Afraid
Of losing my friends
Nightmares come in and out
Of my mind
All the same
All i can see is
You hanging
And i can't help you
As you hang
I see your face
Your face shows me that
You want to leave this world
I look at you with a broken heart
Seeing that i might lose you
I can't do anything
As your grip slips
I try to reach you
But i can't
As you fall
I go with you
But all i try fails

Accepting Reality
It has been more than nine years
Since i last saw you
Living
Every night the image haunts me
In my dreams
I see you alive and healthy
But it is only a dream
I know you are dead
But i can't accept that you died
In my mind
Where i keep my cherish memories
Secrets
Beliefs
I see you walking
I try to give you my hand
But you go right though me
As i chase after you the farther away i go from reality
I follow you until you stop
You look at me with those
Soulless eyes
Then you leave

A Brutal Existence
Through my whole life
I have been bullied
I lost many loved ones
I seen others die for me
When will the pain end?
Without the people who
Support me
I would had lost years ago
With more and more tragedies
That happen
The harder it is
To find a reason to fight back
Fighting back
The pain and aguish
I am fighting my humanity
As time goes on
It is not caring
What happens to others
Slowly fading away
All i can think is
It is time to go
But the harder i try to let go
The longer...

Tore Apart
You and I
Were never to have met
With the days that past
I feel unwelcome ,despised
Everywhere i go
Days past
Since the last time
I have talk to you
Keeping my distance
Hurts me
But getting closer to you
Destroys me
Knowing you don't need me
I stand alone
Tore apart not knowing
If i should come closer
Or go father away
As i hide my emotions
The more
I suffer
With every moment that passes
The agony grows
The hole in my chest grows
Are we destined to be apart
I...

Courage
Courage the magic that turns
Dreams into reality
Courage is what
drives change
Courage is knowing your afraid
But you do it anyway
In this world
There are all kinds of people
No matter what
They have a dream
The only way to make a dream real
Is to strive for it
No matter the dream
No matter the cost
Humans will always
Try and try
Until they
Are successful
Courage is always there
If your dream is to tell someone
You love them
Then find the courage to
Change that dream...

Otherworldly Gate pt.2
Here i am again
Standing in front of the gate
I input the words
Forbidden , Holy , Ground
With every moment that passes
I can't stop thinking of the statues
As i arrived i found myself
beside a church
I go inside only to find no one there
I examine the room and find
A statue of a woman chained to the wall
As i look closer
I see a reflection
Of another statue
A statue of a god looking down
The move i look around
The harder it is to find a reason to stay
Before i knew it

Otherworldly Gate
A gate that
Connects others worlds
Worlds we have never since
I alone choose to go
In front of the gate says
Input three words
I input forbidden,demonic realm,
Not knowing
where i will go
As i was teleported to my destination
All i can see is discord at its finest
Cities demolished
House burned
People killed on the streets
As i walk though
I find a statue of a woman stabbed to a wall and her face crying
The more i walk
More statues i see
I see a statue of a spear
With over fifty people...

Turning around
Back from the darkness
Found a new light
In the shadow
I can't see
I shot myself on accident
But i am fine
I found a light
Luminosity feels the room i don't feel
Alone and misunderstood
But the glow is weak and will go out
In a flash
What am i surpose to do?
Should i find another light source
Or make sure this bright light never goes out
Unable to think
I choose to find more light
But no such luck
As i return
The radiance that one lit the room
Became dimmer
I am never turning around...

My life
My life
Is full of
Misfortune
Hate
Careless
Pain
Suffering
With every step
I am losing myself
You ask me to do
Something
But now i feel like
I should not do it
My life is meaningless
In my eyes
All i can see is doubt
In my soul
It is telling me to live
While my brain tells me the opposite
People say they love me
Now i say prove it
I am looking for a reason to stay alive
Even for one more day thats alright with me
But the harder i look for my answer
The harder it...
