Poet Introduction
I'm a little black rain cloud, Save me, Cleanse me.
They
They say,
Yep I know what your thinking,
Yep your depressed,
You need help,
I strain my voice,
But in society,
I'm unacceptable,
I try to . . .
To . . . to,
Live my life,
But it's useless,
I tried.

10 Little Pills
10 little pills,
Rolling around,
I took a swig,
Then there were 9.
9 little pills,
Glinting in the light,
Chugged some more,
Then there were 8.
8 little pills,
Pale as my will,
Got a refill,
Then there was 7.
7 little pills,
Forcing them down,
Drank a bit,
Then there was 6.
6 little pills,
As deadly as can be,
Took a sip,
Then there was 5.
5 little pills,
Got to tired,
Chugged down 2,
Then there was 3.
3 little pills,
Tiny as can be,
Emptied the cup,

Long Gone
I walked out the door,
I hear you cry,
Down the street,
I hear you call,
Yet you say it,
Like a threat.
Walking away,
Away from my troubles,
You said I could leave,
You thought I was weak,
I left you,
Cause you said it your self,
I could leave,
I was dumb,
Now you pay the price,
If I see you again,
I won't forget,
You said you'll do anything,
Send me to the hospital.
Even electro-shock therapy,
To get me,
Yet you'll never know me.
I try to see,
Your logic,
In this game of strategie,...

Inprisoned
My feelings,
I write them down,
With paper and pen,
I write.
In the dark,
Hiding in the shadows,
Chained by fear,
I'm in denial,
When you see me,
And I see you,
I cry inside,
Thinking that the hum died,
The hum of fear.
I sink to my knees,
In silent prayer,
To whom,
I don't care,
Anyone who can save me,
Save me from my dreadful prison.
As my hero,
Draws near,
He raises his sword,
Above his head,
And strikes,
To my surprise,
I open my eyes,

The Shadows
As you're dragged,
Dragged from reality,
Into the darkness,
Your choking on the bitter smoke,
The bitter smoke of your words,
The pain of many,
Many you've hurt,
Their pain is your pain,
Your pain is growing by the second.
Tears roll down you face,
Leaving a trail of grime,
All the trouble you caused,
I told you who I was,
But I'm sorry for bringing you into my hell hole,
As the pain resides you ask,
"Please let me go."
I have to say no.
My suppression of depression,
My fault of severing you all,

Who am I? (Lies)
They call me delusional,
Seeing unseen things,
Telling me I'm wrong,
That's it's a perfect world.
I'm waiting,
Waiting for someone to save me,
Save me from those poisoned words,
Called lies,
They're not worried,
They don't care,
Their lies mixing with my reason,
I'm about to give in.
If they don't care about me,
They can't have me.
I won't be that perfect person,
Just for you,
I'm an outcast,
Hated by many,
Disappointment to others,
But those who are my friends,
Try to protect me,
From what I know,...

No Way Back.
Two ways in the beginning,
Light and Dark,
Yin and Yang,
Life and Death,
No way back,
It's
Life or Death,
Yin or Yang,
Light or Dark,
Where to go?
Where am I anyway?
Where are you going?
1)Endless Realm of Day.
Or
2)The Abyss,The Oblivian

Panic Now, Fear Later
As the storm of Sorrow brews,
Your courage dwindles,
Your foe is upon you,
You tremble,
Trying to hide,
Feeling the urge to flee,
Yet you're planted,
You can't move,
Facing some thing to overwhelming,
That even I can't face,
Try as you might to fight,
You fail to conquer,
Your fear,
Fear your personal,
Weakness.
It's anything.

Hiding This War
The darkness,
The cloak I use,
So often,
To conceal this shameful . . .person,
This person who doesn't care about this,
Other side,
This other side wants revenge now,
It takes over when I’m alone,
And subsides with my fears.
In the shadow of Despair,
Blotting out my words,
Scaring me for life,
Scream as I might I won’t be heard,
Tears of pain roll silently,
Down my face.
On my cheek,
My emotions and thoughts,
Running to get help,
That's never coming.
My insides feel like they're being pulled out,
My eyes...

Dark Feelings
In the dark,
In your comfort zone,
As others achieve,
So much more than you,
As you try to step out,
The wind of Hate,
Keeps you in your zone,
And pushes you back,
Filling you with despair,
Trying to solve your plight,
Living in hell,
Masking fear,
To show bravery,
When there is none,
Cowering behind lies,
Lies of reason,
To your weak mind,
Trying to live two lives,
At one time.
Killing your self,
Killing your friends,
A plight that's unsolvable,
Live if you can.

Battle Scars
Pale lacing around my wrists,
Is just the comfort,
The scars deep down,
Are the ones still bleeding strong,
The pain of knowing,
That no one likes you.
Your parents,
Other students,
And yet teachers to,
Don't like you for who you are,
But what you can do,
The scars are symbolical to those,
Who just don't care,
My bruises don't leave,
Their the reminder,
Of my personality,
My ugly personality,
Do they think I'm a demon?
Purple,Green,and Black,
Dapple my skin,
Who am I? ...

Horrid
Guilt is gnawing my insides out,
It was one small lie,
Yes, it grew,
But now it's severing me in half,
How can I save my self?
A little lie,
Now it's killing me,
Black and White,
Good and Bad,
Yin and Yang,
Who will over power me first?
Now my life is one big lie,
Who is in charge of my life anyway?
Who will stop me this time,
How can I live with this lie?
How would you live with a life changing lie/secret?
