Reality
My appearance tells a story
Usually it seems to be negative
It’s unfortunate, you never tried to know me
I don’t try but, my external is inherited
Truth is so much different
I’m weak and I wish my mind was not broken
It’s more of a broken bone weight bearing
without a splint
Impossible to continue and literally can not function
I’m weak minded
I falsely saw a purpose
Incapable of handling the cards I’ve been handed
I wish I could at least be who I seem to be at the surface
I’m only worth negatives ...

Depressive
What’s it to you but for peace of mind
But what do words do if it’s the feeling we can not find
Maybe we are the ones you left behind
Forced to walk a path with no end in sight
An unlit path with an unobtainable map
I am me
We are sad
Lonely in a room full of people
An insomnia that can’t be remedied by any sleep pill
But what do words do if it’s the feeling we can not find
Maybe we are the ones you left behind
Forced to walk a path with no end in sight
An unlit path with an unobtainable map
I am me
We are sad
Lonely in a room full of people
An insomnia that can’t be remedied by any sleep pill

Unstable
The pain is there
Conjured from the dark recesses of the mind
Sometimes it’s just too much to bear
While others don’t see the war that is raging inside
The pain is there
Wounded and scarred
The mind is caught in the Devil’s snare
We are feathered and tarred
The pain won’t go away
We are marked and labeled
In infinite dismay
People snark that we’re Unstable
Some days are better than others
My only wish is that we learn to lift up each other
Conjured from the dark recesses of the mind
Sometimes it’s just too much to bear
While others don’t see the war that is raging inside
The pain is there
Wounded and scarred
The mind is caught in the Devil’s snare
We are feathered and tarred
The pain won’t go away
We are marked and labeled
In infinite dismay
People snark that we’re Unstable
Some days are better than others
My only wish is that we learn to lift up each other

Capacity
Why do we cry?
I’ve never looked into it
We all want it put on standby
Because nobody wants to see that shit
What if there was more to it
Less about being embarrassed
And more accepting of being delicate
Maybe the catalyst of being more connected?
I felt positivity when I wrote this
But fuck the world I’m completely done with it.

So I’d found something I was good at
It was because you told me to try
If only I kept at it
I thought I was better but I was still the sad guy
I had been wounded many times like it showed in my tat
I was crippled with a diseased mind
My life was always grey and then it became black
Constant failures... I should have seen the signs
You almost kept me on track
I was proud to call you mine
Life requires energy but I ran out of that
I didn’t mean to die
I changed my mind...
But it was too late and it was time.
My final...

Constant failures... I should have seen the signs

I changed my mind...
But it was too late and it was time.

Lesson number 1
When days were dark and nights were long
An idea had sparked into a thought
Will I find happiness or is hope long gone
I think what happened was I've been all wrong
Hope has been there in the winds' songs
A lesson within was let bygones be bygones
An idea had sparked into a thought
Will I find happiness or is hope long gone
I think what happened was I've been all wrong
Hope has been there in the winds' songs
A lesson within was let bygones be bygones

A Sweet Cherry Pie
If I told you good bye
Would you care?
If I said this tonight
Would you be there?
If I told you I wanted to die
Would you care?
If I made just one slice
Would you just stare?
If red gushed into your eye
Would you even care?
If I ate all the cherry pie
Would that be fair?
Would you care?
If I said this tonight
Would you be there?
If I told you I wanted to die
Would you care?
If I made just one slice
Would you just stare?
If red gushed into your eye
Would you even care?
If I ate all the cherry pie
Would that be fair?

A Daisy For You
Everyone else is happy
At least that's what I see
I'm left alone, I'm hiding
The redness in my eyes from crying
You look at me and feel pity
I'm dying inside just let me
It's this internal burning
That keeps me from a happy feeling
I am the lock with no key
Useful in theory but useless in reality
I'm discarded as I should be
What do I have to offer but in death A Fertilized Daisy
At least that's what I see
I'm left alone, I'm hiding
The redness in my eyes from crying
You look at me and feel pity
I'm dying inside just let me
It's this internal burning
That keeps me from a happy feeling
I am the lock with no key
Useful in theory but useless in reality
I'm discarded as I should be
What do I have to offer but in death A Fertilized Daisy

Step on my trip
This world is a trip isn't it
Snowball effect when bad things happen
I get tired of this shit
Im fresh blood for your anthem
What am I in this world
The only thing I feel is death creeping on me
My hope is burned
The smell is getting heavy
Somebody help me
I can't seem to breathe
With all this bullshit building and building
I'm tearing at the seams!
The pressure is worsening
My life means no more to me
A means to an end hopefully
Eternally resting my infinite sleep
Words dont mean a fucking thing...
Snowball effect when bad things happen
I get tired of this shit
Im fresh blood for your anthem
What am I in this world
The only thing I feel is death creeping on me
My hope is burned
The smell is getting heavy

With all this bullshit building and building
I'm tearing at the seams!
The pressure is worsening

Sunshine
I'm consumed with rage
I've always struggled with it
I dont think I have the courage
To keep going with this shit
I'm consumed with insecurity
It's taken over my life
I've ruined great things undoubtedly
Is the answer in this knife?
This storm is blocking the light of the sun
I've got no where to go
The end is near I think it's already begun
Shine light on me so I know
What's supposed to happen (un)
Fear has taken control
I thought I saw light but I was mistaken
Cold as the steel in my hand
I'm...

My Son
I have these thoughts in my head
I need to write down so that it can be read
Things can change in the blink of an eye
I've made mistakes wasting my life
What is the virtue of living if Life is a lie
But, if I die before I wake
I ask you my son my love to take
Don't forget me and believe
The lies and negative things said about me
I wasn't a perfect man
I'm sorry I could not be the perfect dad
I wish you could have known me better
Wish I could have been a better father figure
The first day I...

Lady Bug
When she was a little girl
New to the world
Fresh start with an open heart
She felt love from her mother
She knew someone was missing... her father
As years went by and she grew older
Her thoughts began to mature
She knew she was deprived from the love of her dad
It began to create resentment and made her sad
She had a piece of her missing
Just turned eighteen
She would now go out and party
Thinking her void would be filled by thinking more... openly
Next day she wakes and realizes she no longer had her virginity ...
